Lord Melchett, president of the English Zionist Federation, has lent his influence to the novel scheme of land redemption in Palestine devised by the Jewish National Fund for Great Britain and Ireland. The scheme calls for all Jews to redeem a piece of land in Palestine equal to what they own in England or Ireland.
In a letter to the president of the Jewish National Fund for Great Britain and Ireland, Lord Melchett declared that he "learned with great pleasure of the new scheme for land redemption in Palestine, and I feel confident it will meet with a ready response from every member of the Anglo-Jewish community."
