- W8881376 abstract "Many non-Jews in British political life have been attracted to the Zionist cause. Arthur Balfour gave his name to the famous Declaration of 1917, but even before this, men such as Laurence Oliphant (1829-88) were fully supportive of Jews returning to the Promised Land. Apart from Balfour, a number of major British political figures during the Great War showed their sympathies both in speech and in action, including David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill and Leopold Amery. There were others too, such as Josiah Wedgwood, the great-grandson of the man of the same name who founded the world-famous pottery firm in 1759. A political figure of some significance in Britain in the interwar years, Wedgwood became a vociferous supporter of Zionism and a vigourous critic of his own govern? ment in regard to its Palestinian policies. He spoke much in the British Parliament in favour of Zionism, as well as speaking to outside bodies and writing on the subject; but, despite his deep commitment to Zionism, his activities on behalf of the movement have to a large extent been ignored by historians. In his biography, The Last of the Radicals, his niece, the distin? guished writer Dame Veronica Wedgwood, devotes a chapter to his Zionist activities; but only one other writer, an American professor of history, Joshua.B. Stein, seems to have written much on this subject. Elsewhere Wedgwood has received only brief mentions, if any. Josiah Clement Wedgwood (1872-1943) was a Liberal Member of Parliament from 1906 to 1919, when he joined the Labour Party and he continued as a Labour MP until elevated to the House of Lords in 1942. He was a member of Ramsay MacDonald's first short-lived government in 1924, and had been Vice-Chairman of the Labour Party in 1922. It seems that Wedgwood first became aware of Zionism in 1915 through the Zion Mule Corps that provided support for the British Army in Gallipoli. He also served and was wounded there, and was impressed with the Mule Corps's work and admired their fighting spirit.1 However, he was firm in asserting that he first became aware of Zionism 'as a creed' in the autumn of 1916 through his novelist friend Dorothy Richardson and her friend, Captain Berg of the Grenadier Guards, who arranged for him to 'address a meeting of the elect', when he began to see political and strategic value in a" @default.
