19 March 1930 marked the passing of Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour. A prominent British statesman and philosopher, Balfour served as Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905. His legacy includes the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which expressed British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Balfour's death at the age of 81 brought to a close a distinguished career in politics and public service.
