evidence of the thrill that was provided by the very presence of a foreign minister speak-
ing for the reborn state of Israel.
Tens of thousands of dollars poured into the campaign office at 163 Madison to
make possible the presentation of a sizeable check to Mr. Sharett by Detroit Jewry. A
few minutes preceding the dinner in Mr. Sharett's honor, the hoard of governors of the
Jewish Welfare Federation met in special session. at the Statler, and authorized a loan
which boosted the available cash for the United Jewish Appeal to the million
dollar mark, thereby fulfilling a pledge to Israel and her visiting emissary.

Editorial Comment, Page 4

LONDON—Israel's reparations claims should be held separate
from Germany's contractual obligations and the amount of
restitution Germany mar pay Israel and the Jewish organiza-
tions should not be figured m the country's capacity to pay,
the financial correspondent of the Times of London said Tues-
day.
He pointed out that Germany's creditors are now being
asked to write off virtually seven-eighths of their contractual
claims. "This is the multiple of the amount which would be
written off the government of Israel claims for trepayment of
postwar assistance under the recent proposals," the correspondent
declared. He pointed out that the reduction of the Israel claims
would be even greater since those claims had already been re-
duced about one third.
"It is commendable that Germany should seek to make

restitution," the paper declared. "But it is also ' essential that

she should make such restitution out of her own special ef-
forts and additional sacrifices."
