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.
