Zionism

Zionism.

A counterblast to the German anti-Jew policy was the embracing of Judaism in London by Lord Melchett, who succeeded his father, the late Lord Melchett (Sir Alfred Mond) in 1930. The Monds are known to the world for their connection with Imperial Chemical Industries, and Lord Melchett's father was the Mond of Brunner and Mond. The present Lord Melchett, until lately, was an example of pride of race rather than pride of religion; now he is an example of both. Though he was baptised into the Church of England—the established Church—his going to Judaism will be as free as that of any other man of distinction who has left or joined the Anglican Church. Will the new politically erected Church of Hitlerite Germany be equally tolerant? Lord Melchett is a director of Barclay's Bank and a student of Zionism in Palestine. Germany, under the Kaiser, sought a “corridor” through the Palestinian region to farther Asia. Hitlerism may have closed that corridor to Germany for all time.
