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

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.
