STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Blames Truman for the U. S. Pressure on Israel

By PHINEAS J. BIRON

Israeli government has no alternative but to reject
the plan.

TT WAS A SERIOUS looking James G. McDonald

who handed Israeli Fbreign Minister Moshe Sharett
a note from the U.
S. State Department, according to
Drew Pearson. The scene took place
a few weeks ago in Tel Aviv but the .•
consequences of Ambassador McDon-
ald's mission on behalf of his govern-
ment might be far-reaching. The
regular news agencies did not carry
the text of this diplomatic note but
Pearson who is usually reliably in-
formed quotes the last paragraph
which is very, very strongly worded.
This last paragraph says that. un -
less the government of Israel listen
to the "friendly advice of the United
States government, the U. S. govern-
Biron
ment will regretfully be forced to the conclusion that
a complete revision of its attitude toward Israel has
become unavoidable."

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this drastic
step by Washington is the fact that President Truman
is not only backing this ultimatum but is actually the
prime-mover who is pushing it.

MR. TRUMAN'S PRESSURE is exercised on two

and Arab refugees. In other words the Bernadotte

Washington, London and Rome are working to-

Jewish State are dark and ominous.
(Editor's Note: The White House denied that
President Truman had demanded the admission of a
large number of refugees into Israel. The problem was
being handled through regular diplomatic channels, a
spokesman said.,

PLOT TO WRECK the Is-
raeli-Arab Lausanne peace
conference is as much motivated
by anti-Semitism as by political
considerations.

The aim of the plotters is to
make the new State's path as dif-
ficult as possible. They are real-
ists enough to understand that
Israel is a political fact which
they cannot undo. But they are
bent on reducing it to a territorial
and political skeleton,

SOMETIME THIS FALL you will see a book with
the title, "Ready, Willig and Abel." The author is
Walter Artzt, a successful businessman who has taken
time out to write the•saga of Willig's Americanization.
Willig and his brother Abel and their numerous
relatives live through the most hilarious and yet
authentic adventures in the "land of milk and honey."
One astute reader of Artzt's manuscript characterized

Mischa Auer?'

A LETTER from J. Greenbaum, N. Y., reads: "May

to add my protest

"It is high time to drop the AJC from the UJA lest
we wish to endanger the tax exemption granted by

The Israeli government is in a tough spot. It needs
the good will of Washington but it cannot, dare not
pay the price which Mr. Truman demands. And when
we say Truman, we mean, Truman, Bevin and the
Vatican.

OFF THE RECORD

THE

"Tax exemption granted to the UJA specifies that
the funds collected by the UJA are to be used for
relief and rehabilitation work. Well, the activities of
the American Jewish Committee do not come under
this heading. They are no less political than the work
of the congressional committee on un-American activi-
ties.

The Israeli government is having its hands full
with the Jewish immigration that is spilling 30,000
men, women and children onto the shores of Israel
every month. It is desperately in need of funds, huge
funds. Instead of help from the U. S. government it
is receiving threats and ultimatums.
