Appreciation of the gift of Palestine products was expressed by Lord Balfour in a communication addressed to Col. Frederick H. Kish, political representative of the Zionist Executive in Jerusalem, made public here today.
The gift, several cases of oranges and grapes grown in the Jewish colonies of Palestine, was sent to Lord Balfour by the Pica, the Palestine branch of the Jewish Colonization Association.
“I require no fillip for my interest in Palestinian affairs. However, I take this specimen of Jewish enterprise as an indication that things are prospering with my Zionist friends,” Lord Balfour wrote.
