At the same time the foreign
minister stressed that pursuit of

tions as an instrument of peace
and non-identification with eith-

principles of Israel's foreign pol-
icy.
DEFINES NEUTRALITY
He said it WIIS error to define
Israel's policy as one of neutrality
since "neutrality is • liable to be
misinterpreted as an undertaking
to take no attitude on any issues
on which the world is now divid-
ed, whereas Israel considers her-
self perfectly free to define her
clear stand on any issue both on
the merits of the case and in ac-
cordance with Israel's vital in-
, terests."
- He defined "non-identification"
as meaning that Israel refuses to
be permanently, entangled with
either" -bloc, adding- Wed Israel's
support of the UN on the Korean
issue was an expression of "in-
dependent foreign policy" since
failure to support the Security
Council on Korea would have
been "tantamount to solidarity
with one of the blocs."
He pointed out, however, that
there was "nothing in this step to
implicate Israel to permanent
• commitment blindly to support
either bloc regardless of point
at issue."
The decision on Korea, Sharett
concluded, was "adopted in a
spirit of complete freedom and it
is in that spirit that statesman-
ship in Israel will continue to
steer its course."
DEFENSE NEEDS
In e special Interview with the
N. Y. Times correspondent, Shar-
ett declined to commit himself
on Israel's answer to the request
by the United Nations for aid in
the Korean war. He said the mat-
ter would be considered by the
cabinet but implied that Israel's
defense needs must be considered.
Sharett also pointed out that
he considered the Arab refugee
issue as closed and that it would
not be reopened except within
the context of final peace.
He said that the threat of "a
second round" was implicit and
said that Israel was heeding the
warning of Korea and building
feverishly.
"We would welcome any ini-
tiative by the big powers to bring
about peace, but we cannot waste
our time waiting for it," he said.
Israel has offered to accept 100,-
000 Arab refugees, Sharett re-
vealed, but that the offer had
gone unanswered.

Neumann Denies Agency-Israel Break
NEW YORK—(WNS)--Dr. Emanual Neumann,
former president of the Zionist Organization of
America, declared here that "American Zionists
never advocated total separation of the Zionist
movement and Jewish Agency from the state of
Israel."
He made the assertion in a statement to the
press taking issue with certain allegations made
at the recent Z.O.A. convention by Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, chairman of the American section of
the Jewish Agency.
Dr. Neumann's statement reads:
"American Zionists never advocated total sep-
aration of the Zionist movement and Jewish
Agency from the state of Israel. At the Actions
Committee in August, 1948, we successfully ad-
vocated a constitutional and formal dissociation
between the Jewish Agency and the government
of Israel. Close cooperation and coordination was
not only assumed as indispensable, but Eliezer
Kaplan was retained as a member of both bodies
for this very purpose.
"Prior to that meeting strong support for such
formal dissociation had come from eminent coun-
sel retained by the United Jewish Appeal. The
legal opinion of UJA counsel dated July 8, 1948,
contained the following passage, which was un-
derscored for emphasis: 'I believe it to be most
important that the dissociation of the Agency or
its successor from certain of its earlier activities
and from the state be clean, complete and prompt.'
"The Joint Coordinating Committee was de-

vised at the recent meeting of the Actions Com-
mittee, when the proposal of a `charter' for the
Jewish Agency, put forward by the American sec-
tion of the Agency, had to be abandoned. Dr.
Goldmann is only technically correct when he
says that the government of Israel has not re-
jected the 'charter' idea. It was in fact dropped
because of the strongly expressed opposition of
Ben Gurion and other government leaders.
"Dr Goldman violently attacked Dr. Silver for
allegedly saying that the setting up of the Joint
Coordinating Committee would expose Zionists to
suspicion of double loyalty or being agents of a
foreign government. What Dr. Silver actually said
was: 'I am not at all sure that this new arrange-
ment will not at some time or another gravely em-
barrass our movement in our country or elsewhere,
and will not give rise to deplorable situations
which we sought to obviate in September, 1948.'
"Dr. Goldman denies that the Israel govern-
ment intervened in the regrettable UJA contro-
versy, The group that precipitated that contro-
versy claimed to be acting in the interest of the
state of Israel and in close touch with members of
its government. One word from the right per-
son in Tel Aviv would have stopped the agitation,
but the disavowal was not forthcoming despite
repeated requests by the American section of the
Jewish Agency. It has since been established that
the issues were discussed at a meeting of the
provisional government where strong views were
expressed."
from neighboring states the Par-
liament would have to choose a
new government.
After a brief but sharp debate,
the Premier was upheld when
Knesset turned down a no con-
fidence motion by a vote of 31
to 14.
The debate was an aftermath
of the recent dawn raid by Israeli
police on the village of Abu Gosh,
where a house-to-house search
yielded 105 Arab infiltrees, in-
cluding women and children.
A Mapam deputy, Moshe Erem
charged that families had been
broken up as a result of the de-
portations, and an Arab deputy,
Mohamed Said el Zabi, complain-
ed that the raiders were guilty
of atrocious behaviour.
Replying, the Premier said if
there were irregularities they
should be brought to the attention
of the proper authorities, who,
he said, will take action against
those responsible for misconduct.
At the same time he noted that
the village at issue had been a
hideout for gangs of smugglers
and that the village elders re-
fused to cooperate in • efforts to
have \ them extirpated. Apropos
the charge of disrupting families,
Ben Gurion declared that it had
been the deliberate strategy of
the infiltrators to send women
and children first across the line.
