Ex-Mayor Welsh's Anti-Israel Statement° Branded 'Ignorance' Zionist circles expressed amazement over the statement made in Aley, Lebanon, this week by former Mayor George W. Welsh of Grand Rapids that Jewish refugees who arrived in Palestine created the Arab refu- gee problem. Welsh's statement is branded as sheer ignorance, stemming from a total lack of knowledge upon the sympathy of which Lebanese propagandists played in order to create anti-Israeli sentiments. It is pointed out that- 1. Arabs left Israel in panic when they were instigated by the Mufti and his cohorts to leave the country — with the promise that upon their return they would be able to loot Jew- ish property. • 2. Jews pleaded with Arabs to remain in Israel. Only 70,000 re- mained, but since then their number has increased to 170,000. 3. Originally, the claim was that .300,000 Arabs had left Is- rael. Anti-Israelis then began to boost the total to 400,000, 500,- 000', then 800.000 — and now Welsh, in his naivete, boosts the total to 1,000,000. That, Zion- ists say, is sheer ignorance. 4. The entire issue is in the hands of the United Nations and a solution now is being worked out. For a man totally unin- formed to create enmity against Israel is a shocking example of a lack of fair play, some Zionists say. The hope is expressed that Welsh and his associates on the tour will visit Israel and get a true view of the existing situa- tion. - Shomrim Are Warned Against Insulting Beigin BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — Ten members of the Hashomer Hat- zair who were arrested for dis- tributing leaflets calling the Ir- gunists "fascist murderers" were released. Police authorities stated that they have warned members of the Hashomer Hatzair who had been conducting a propaganda campaign against Menahem Bei- gin, former Irgun leader, since his arrival in Argentina, that they would not tolerate encite- ment to violence against mem- bers of a parliament of a coun-• try which maintains friendly re- lations with Argentina. "El Estado Judio," organ of the General Zionists, appeared with an article protesting tl4e Hashomer Hatzair action. The article states that "internal Jew- ish conflicts need not be aired on the streets of Buenos Aires." Emphasizing that the General Zionists do not agree with the political line and methods of the Herut Party in Israel, of which Beigin is a leader, the article says that the distribution of in- sulting anti-Beigin leaflets by the Hashomer Hatzair was "a cruel injustice." More than 1,000 persons at- tended a reception given for Mr. Beigin by the Macabbi, the larg- est Jewish sports club here. Principal speaker at the recep- tion was Dr. Moises Goldman, president of the Macabbi or- ganiption.
