Israel is officially neutral. The report is written by a non-Zionist, Edward A. Nor- man, president of the American Fund for Israel Institutions and co-chairman of the American Economic Committee for Pales- tine. The attitude in the East- West conflict results from Is- rael's internal political align- ment, the report declared. The government was organized as a coalition of the Labor and United Religious par ties to "avoid an arrangement with the pro-Soviet elements." The report stated that "Is- rael's greatest need at present is to increase by a very great degree its own production of manufactured goods and food- stuffs." Norman reported that "all work on the preparation of a basic law or constitution has come to a halt because the coalition could not survive the battle that would have to be fought over questions revolving about religious tenets, such as enforcement of Sabbath observ- ance and dietary laws, and the grant to religious authorities of control over personal status and education." The Labor and Union Reli- gious parties that make up the government obtained 51 percent of the votes in the last election, in 1949. Pro-Soviet parties won less than 18 percent of the votes. Norman reported that the "so-called 'monopoly' by or- ganized labor and its leaders and its widespread influence have aroused dissatisfaction in Israel."
