Usage note: In most dialects of American English 'bring' is used to denote motion toward the place of speaking or the place from which the action is regarded (would you please bring it over here); 'take' is used to denote motion away from such a place (take it over there); when the relevant point of focus is not the place of speaking itself, the difference obviously depends on the context - we can say either: the labor leaders brought or took their requests to the mayor's office, depending on whether we want to describe things from the point of view of the labor leaders or the mayor. A parent may say of a child, for example, She always takes a pile of books home with her from school. The form 'brung' is common in colloquial use in many areas, even among educated speakers, but it is not acceptable for use in formal writing.

Balfour Declaration, aka Report), November 18, 1926
the conclusions of an Imperial Conference committee under the chairmanship of Lord Balfour, a British Cabinet minister and former prime minister, on relations between the self-governing parts of the empire. This was a pivotal document in Canada's development toward a true nation (so you see, we still had not confederated this many years after 1867).
   The report declared that Britain and the Dominions of Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Irish Free State were "autonomous Communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations." The report led directly to the British Act called the Statute of Westminster; the Act which legally recognizes the terms recommended in the 1926 Balfour Report.

Balfour Declaration, November 2, 1917
Comprised with Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
a statement of British support for 'the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people'. It was made in a letter from Arthur James Balfour, the British foreign secretary, to Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild of Tring, a leader of British Jewry. Though the precise meaning of the correspondence has been disputed, its statements were generally contradictory to both the Sykes-Picot Agreement (a secret convention between Britain and France) and the Husayn-McMahon correspondence (an exchange of letters between the British high commissioner in Egypt, Sir Henry McMahon and Husayn ibn Ali, then emir of Mecca), which in turn contradicted one another (see Palestine, World War I and after).

The Balfour Declaration, issued through the continued efforts of Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, Zionist leaders in London, fell short of the expectations of the Zionists, who had asked for the reconstitution of Palestine as the Jewish national home. The declaration specifically stipulated that 'nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine'. The document, however, said nothing of the political or national rights of these communities and did not refer to them by name. Nevertheless, the declaration aroused enthusiastic hopes among Zionists and seemed the fulfillment of the aims of the World Zionist Organization.

The British government hoped that the declaration would rally Jewish opinion, especially in the United States, to the side of the Allied powers against the Central Powers during World War I (1914–18). They hoped also that the settlement in Palestine of a pro-British Jewish population might help to protect the approaches to the Suez Canal in neighbouring Egypt and thus ensure a vital communication route to British colonial possessions in India.

The Balfour Declaration was endorsed by the principal Allied powers and was included in the British mandate over Palestine, formally approved by the newly created League of Nations on July 24, 1922. In May 1939 the British government altered its policy in a White Paper recommending a limit of 75,000 further immigrants and an end to immigration by 1944, unless the resident Palestinian Arabs of the region consented to further immigration. Zionists condemned the new policy, accusing Britain of favouring the Arabs. This point was made moot by the outbreak of World War II (1939–45) and the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.
