LORD BALFOUR IN PALESTINE

Extraordinary precautions were taken in Palestine to ensure the safety of Lord Balfour (inset), who was traveling to Jerusalem to inaugurate the first Jewish university (our photo). Heavy wooden barriers pierced with loopholes for cannons, rifles, and machine guns were built for use at the first alarm. The day of Lord Balfour's arrival would be a day of national mourning for the Arabs. (Photo Cellon-Paris)
