PARIS, (JTA) —some 15,000
Jews from all parts of Libya
who are now living in Tripoli
as refugees from pogroms or
threat of pogroms fear that they
will not be able to leave the city
and migrate to Israel before the
country is turned over to Arab
administration, European head-
quarters of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee reported.
The country, presently ruled
by a British military adminis-
tration, will be turned over 'to
the Arabs in 16 months, under
the terms of a United Nations
decision. So far more than
20,000 Libyan Jews have been
aided to flee the country ; the
JDC reports, but prospects for
further emigration are handi-
capped by a lack of funds.
Tripoli became a Jewish refu-
gee center shortly after pogroms
swept Tripolitania late in 1945..
A number of Jews were beaten
and killed and their homes and
businesses wrecked and robbed.
Since then many Jews who sur-

Truman's Greetings on Dawn of 5711

WASHINGTON (JTA)—President Truman issued through
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency the following Rosh Hashanah
message of greetings to the Jews of the United States:
"I extend to all my fellow Americans of Jewish faith my
cordial greetings on the occasion of the commencement of
the Jewish New Year.
"The celebration of a new year is customarily a time of
looking back upon the experiences of the past and forward
to the promise of the future. It is clear that in the past the
world has long hoped and worked for peace and freedom
among all nations and peoples.
"Let us, in the future, continue our common efforts
toward the achievement of these goals." , 7-

Israel Premier Declares U. S.
Jews Owe Loyalty to America

off the Israel Government. "What President Truman intends
to do under his "Point Four" program to assist people in
underdeveloped areas to improve their conditions and raise
their standards of living, you have been doing here, to a large
extent, under difficult conditions and great sacrifice," he said.

"/ am gratified to say that_the people of Israel want
democracy and will not accept any dictatorship of totalitar-
ianism from 'within or without," Blaustein continued.
The vast majority of American Jewry recognizes the nec-
essity and desirability of helping to make Israel a strong,
reliable and self-supporting state for Israel's and the world's
sake. We will do all we can to further increase our share in
the great historic task of helping Israel to solve its problems.

"But," Blaustein pointed out, "we must in the true spirit
of friendliness sound a note of caution, for Israel must recog-
nize that the matter of goodwill among citizens is a two-way
street; that Israel also has responsibility in this situation—
responsibility in terms of not affecting adversely the sensibili-
ties of Jews who are citizens of other states by what it says
or does.

"American Jews," he insisted, "vigorously repudiate any
suggestion or implication that they are in exile." American
Jews are attached, he stated, adding that for American Jews
America is the home where they are rooted and which they
helped build, sharing its fruits and its destiny and believing in
the American future as a democratic society. "If America
fails," he said, "there will be no future for democracy any-
where in the world and the very existence of Israel would be
problematical.

"However, your statement, Mr. Premier, serves as un-
mistakable evidence that the responsible leaders of Israel and
the organizations connected with it fully understand that
future relations between the American Jewish community and
the state of Israel must be based on mutual respect of one
another's feelings and needs and the preservation of the in-
tegrity of both communities and their institutions," Blaustein
concluded.

Blaustein Pledges Jewish Committee
Will 'Go Very Far' in Helping Israel

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The American Jewish Committee is pre-
pared to "go very far" in helping Israel avert an economic crisis
and in assisting in the mass absorption of the Jews who must im-
migrate to the Jewish state, Jacob Blaustein, president of the
American Jewish Committee, told a press conference on the eve
of his departure for Switzerland to meet President Weizman.

Blaustein said that he had the impression that "considerable
progress" had been made since his last visit to. Israel 18 months
ago, adding that the possibility of large-scale foreign investment
in Israel was gradually improving. He declared that the people
of Israel belong to the Western, democratic world as distinct from
and opposed to totalitarianism.
