The purchase of a building by the Zionist Federation of Australia from the municipality of Melbourns is provoking numerous protests from “professional classes” adjoining the site of the structure, the press reports today.
Featuring the news of the alleged protests, the newspapers also report that the Zionist leaders are ignoring these protests and are demanding that the sale be completed. The contract is awaiting the approval of the treasury department of the municipality.
The British Medical Association and the Grand Lodge of the Free Masons, which have their offices in the vicinity of the building, today denied that they are among the elements protesting against the sale.
