Eban Tells UN Committee Israel
Pledged to Reimburse Arab DPs

LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)—The
United States, United Kingdom,
France and Turkey introduced a
resolution in the UN special po-
litical committee calling for the
raising of a UN fund to finance
"reintegration" of Palestine ref-
ugees up to June 30, 1952. The
committee left the question
open pending a report from the
UN Budgetary Committee on
how to raise funds called for in
the resolution.
The four-nation resolution de-
clares that reintegration of the
refugees either by repatriation
of resettlement "is essential"
and calls for a fund of $30,000,7
000 for the next fiscal year for
reintegration and a sum of $20,-
000,000 to carry on relief during
that same period. The only
Arab delegate to speak—Jamali
of Iraq — fervently opposed the
resolution because he said it did
not insist on repatriation.
"Reintegration" is a new con-
cept that has appeared in the
Palestine refugee problem to en-
compass either or both repatri-
ation. to Israel and resettlement
in the Arab countries.
John C. Ross of the United
States told the Cqmmittee his
government was ready to request
an undetermined amount of
money from Congress for re-
integration and relief of the
Arab refugees. He insisted that
the raising of the funds must be
a joint effort among all nations.
Israel's Views
Israel's Ambassador A b b a
Eban, addressing the session of
the special political committee,
emphasized that the Govern-
ment of Israel has repeatedly
stated and now • reaffirms its

On the subject of the rela-
tionship between Israel and
the American Jewish commu-
nity, Mr. Blaustein declared
that "fundamentally there is
no incompatibility between our
firm resolve to continue to
strengthen and develop our
Jewish communal, cultural
and religious institutions in
America, and at the same time
aid Israel in a substantial and
effective way."
"Far from being inconsistent
with one another," he asserted
"the strengthening of Jewish
life in America and the aiding
r f Israel are complementary to
one another. As an indication
of this, it must be apparent
that American Jews would be
profoundly affected 1„,y an eco-
nomic catastrophe in Israel."

Israel cannot meet its eco-
nomic problems "without aid
from American Jews," he said.

Israel. Professors

NEW YORK (JTA)—Yeshiva

first annual exchange professor-

Teachers Institute and Bernard

fund, Israel will regard itself
as taking part in the first and
most urgent installment of
discussions leading to final
peace," Eban said.
"It must be borne in mind
that Israel reserves its own
financial claims under a final
settlement with reference to
the loss and damage which it
has suffered as a result of war
and invasion."

Israel opposed the idea of an
attempt on the part of the
United Nations to define aggres-
sion in absolute terms by means
of a list of its various forms.
Arthur Lourie, of the Israel
delegation, stressing that no
such list could be exhaustive,
announced Israel's intentions to
abstain on a Soviet proposal to
