That is to say, that it should have control of its own local affairs and be a free country but that some great Power, or number of Powers, should see to it that none of the races that live there should be allowed to impose upon the other races.

I don't know just how such a guarantee can be given by the great Powers or such a responsibility assumed except by an agreement among two or three of them, or barely possibly by the English keeping control themselves; but the control by the English after the war of the former German colonies will put such a large task on them that they will not be particularly eager to extend the area of their responsibility elsewhere.

Of course a difficult problem will come up also about Constantinople and the Dardanelles.

The Dardanelles must be internationalized.

It is a mere religious sentiment which will express itself in action by very few people.

I have asked a number of Jews at various times who are in favour of the Zionist movement if they themselves are going there.
