  1. The Complete Diaries of Theodor Herzl, vol. 4, Herzl Press (scan on Internet Archive, OCR text), 1902. Primary record
    Here I received the invitation of the Royal Commission for Alien Immigration before whom I am to give evidence as a witness.
    Two days ago I had an off day at the Royal Commission
    By giving evidence before the Royal Commission whose perplexity caused by the horns of a dilemma I want to bring out: either a break with the glorious principle of free asylum, or leaving the native working class unprotected.
    My way out — if they ask for it — is the creation of a Chartered Company in Cyprus.
