Premier Does Not. Consider
Them Jewry's Spokesmen

Hordes to Speak at
Pinsker Bond Rally

NEW YORK. (JT‘V—American
Zionist leaders are considering
the implications of the challeng-
ing statements made by Israel
Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion on the future role of
Zionism and the position of the
American Zionists.
Speaking before 200 American
Zionist leaders at a dinner ten-
dered by the Jewish Agency, Mr.
Ben-Gurion said that American
Zionists cannot be considered by
the Israel government as the
representatives of all the Amer-
ican Jewry. He emphasized that
the Jewish state needs the finan-
cial and political aid of Jews in
I the United States who are not
Zionists and who do not want
the Zionist movement to stand
"as a wall between them and Is-
rael:"
Mr. Ben-Gurion said that his
current visit to the United States
had convinced him that all ele-
ments of American Jewry—with
the exception of the American
Council for Judaism and the
Communists—were eager to sup-
port Israel. He advised American
Zionist leaders to undertake the
task of bringing all these ele-
ments together.

Declaring his allegiance to
the Jewish people comes before
his allegiance to the State of
Israel, the Premier said that
the Jewish state has voluntari-
ly yielded its sovereignty to
the Jewish people by stipulat-
ing in its Constitution that
every Jew wishing to immi-
grate to Israel must be admit-
ted to the country. If peace
prevails, he declared, the task
to be accomplished within the
next 10 years must be the
bringing of 4,000.,000 more Jews
to Israel. He estimated that
more than $7,000,000,000 would
be reotzired to carry out this
task. This, he emphasized,
could not be achieved without
the aid of American Jews.

crisis in the Zionist movement.
"There is a crisis in some Zion-
ists," he commented sarcastical-
ly. American Zionists, he declar-
ed, can advise and even criticize
Israel, but have no right to issue
orders to it.
• Israel's Premier said that the
Jewish state was not the fulfill-
ment of Zionism and declared
that since the establishment of
the state, the Zionist movement
is needed more than ever before.
Zionism, he explained, embraces
all Jews everywhere, while the
sovereignty of the Jewish state
is limited to its citizens within
its borders. He made a strong
plea to the American Zionist
movement to expand Hebrew
education among children in
this country.

Dr.. Nahum Goldmann, who
presided, stressed the need for
a decision on the future role
Of the Zionist movement in
the light of Israel's achieve-
ment of statehood. Dr. Eman-
uel Neumann made a plea for
recognition by the Israel gov-
ernment of the Zionist move-
ment representing world Jewry
vis-a-vis the Jewish state. He
said that it was Israel's. duty
to strengthen the Zionist
movement. Leaders of the Miz-
rachi, Revisionists and other
Zionist groups also participat-
ed in the discussion.

Speaking at the Zionist Youth
Council reception in his honor,
Mr. Ben-Gurion said that his
travels about this country had
convinced him that although he
could expect no mass irhmigra-
tion from the United States,
there was more than enough
"raw material" for an effective
Chalutz movement among Amer-
ican Jews. He asserted that
Chalutzim are needed 'now more
than ever before in Israel be-
cause the establishment of the
state has created opportunities
that did not exist before.
The premier also attended a
memorial meeting at the Israel
Consulate in honor of the late
David Remez. In a speech in
Hebrew he recalled that the life
of his associate of many years
was a mirror in the history of
the Jewish community in Israel.

William Hordes, well-known
insurance executive, will speak
at an Israel bond rally, sponsor-
ed by the Pinsker Progressive
Aid Society, at the Turover Hall,
Dexter and Monterey, Tuesday,
June 12, 10 p.m. His subject will
be "Why an American Jew Must
Buy Israel Bonds,"
Mr. Hordes served as chair-
man of the board and as presi-
dent of the Jewish National
Fund Council. He is a member of
the executive committee of the
Labor Zionist Organization and
the Jewish Community Council,
and recently has become active
in the speakers' bureau of the
ISrael bond campaign.

Fete Herman Kanters
At Omena Inn Opening

Special tribute was paid to
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kanter, of

ding anniversary, the Omena

Mr. Ben-Gurion made it clear
that he does not expect mass
emigration of Jews from the
United States to Israel. How-
ever, he urged American Zion-
ists to mobilize technological aid
and ski ed workers for Israel,
declaring that the development
of Israel depends to a consider-
able extent on American "know
how." He also criticized Ameri-
can Zionist leaders for failing Mayne Resigns to Take

ment in the United States.

The Premier asked that at
least 10 percent of American
Jewish College students come
to Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem to take additional
courses in Hebrew language
and literature to become a liv-
ing link between Israel and
the American Jewish com-
munity. He urged that the
American Zionist movement
should also arrange mass tours
of American Jews to Israel.

Mr. Ben-Gurion flatly refused
to share Israel's sovereignty with
the world Zionist movement.

have not as yet recognized the
