Jerusalem, under the British
proposal, which is in accord with
the Bernadotte plan, would with
the surrounding area be placed
under United Nations control
"with the maximum feasible" lo-

to mean that Arabs would have

Old City and the Jews that of

LONDON (WNS) — Catholic
and Protestant publications here
have been conducting a strong
campaign for the internationali-
zation of Jerusalem.
A number of those publications
carried atrocity propaganda
against the Jewish State, accus-
ing Israel of having desecrated
sacred places and appropriating
Arab property.
In a letter to the "London
Times," the Archbishop of Can-
terbury charged that if the Jews
were given New Jerusalem now
they would later demand the old
city as well. Chief Rabbi Israel
Brody replied that the arch-
bishop's fears were unfounded.
At . the same time an Israeli
representative in England, Jos-
eph Linton, published a letter
in the "London Times," asking
the Archbishop of Canterbury
why the church leaders failed to
protest when Abdullah's Legion-
naires bombarded Jerusalem and
exposed hundreds of thousands of
Jews in Jerusalem to starvation.
Linton pointed out that now
that Israel has emerged as vic-
tor, the churchmen have turned
against the Jewish State.

immediate peace negotiations by
King Abdullah of Transjordan.

EMANUEL NEUMANN,
president of the ZOA, declared
that the prevailing idea that the
Israeli economy was primarily
socialist was not correct.
Even before the establishment
of the Jewish State, Dr. Neu-

He assured the future investors
that they would receive ample
security for their investments
and that their dividends would
