Plans for a gala series of receptions for Lord Melchett, who will come to Paris in the interests of the World Maccabee Union, of which he is honorary president, are now being completed here.
Lord Melchett is expected to arrive on March 4th. He will be feted at a reception arranged by Baroness Edouard de Rothschild, at which Justin Godart will preside. Leading French Jews have been invited to attend the function. At this time a film of Maccabee activities will be shown.
A mass meeting at the cinema “Rex,” the largest in Paris, has also been arranged, which will be addressed by Lord Melchett. In addition other functions under Jewish and non-Jewish auspices are being planned.
