wealth nations were Sir Archie Michaelis, speaker of
the Legislative Assembly of Victoria, Australia; Leon
Crestohl, member of the Canadian Parliament, and
Samuel Bronfman, president of the Canadian Jewish
Congress.
Many of the Jewish leaders were present Monday

Dulles' Report .Mottvates Calls for Amity

Friends of Israel and Jewish leaders everywhere united this week, in response to the state-
ment on the Middle East made by U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in urging that
this country perpetuate its friendship for the Jewish state and that it use its influence to bring
Arabs and Jews together for an effective peace.
Unanimous opinion prevailed that the peace of the world is dependent upon the enforcement
of amity in the Middle East.
Even before Mr. Dulles had made his report on his Near Eastern tour with Mutual Security
Director Harold Stassen, the issue of peace was placed on the agenda by Jewish spokesmen. In two
addresses here on Monday, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Abba Eban, pleaded for "di-
rect negotiations" between Israel and the Arabs rather than an attempt to force an undesirable
solution by remote control.
(Report of Mr. Eba,n's address before Economic Club on Page 5)
In his address at the Israel bond dinner at the Statler Monday night, delivered shortly after
Mr. Dulles had made his statement in Washington, Mr. Eban, while indicating that he could not
comment on the Dulles report before he makes his presentation to the State Department, in per-
son, made a powerful plea for American cooperation with Israel.
It would be futile, he admonished for free nations and for the United States "to abandon Is-
rael's friendship in exchange for a speculative hope of finding friends elsewhere."
Mr. Eban's appeal was based on the affinity between Israel and the United States, the fact
that Israel is the only genuine democracy in the Middle East, and the alikeness between the two
countries. He pointed out that both Israel and the United States began with ingatherings of
migrants, that both lands, undeveloped in their beginnings, were built by pioneering ventures, and
that thier cultural values were enhanced by the fusion of many different peoples assembled from.
all corners of the globe.

But while pleading for peace and for an amicable understanding with the Arab nation.* Mr,
Eban was emphatic in his assertions that Israel could not abandon its territorial rights, that the
internationalization of Jerusalem already has been ruled out as impractical by important United
Nations commissions
that Israel is prepared to assist in relieving the Arab refugee situation
and in compensating Arabs for their land, provided the Arabs do not insist upon both ends of
the bargain—that of getting compensation from Jews while continuing boycotts and blockades
which make it difficult for Israel to gain economic advantages.

U. S. Will Seek to Reduce Arab-Israel Tension, Secretary Dulles Announces

WASHINGTON, (JTA) —The United States will not hesitate by every appropriate means to
use its influence to promote Step-by-step reduction of tension between Israel and the Arab coun-
tries and the conclusion of utimate peace, Secetcrary of State John Foster Dulles declared Monday.
Reporting on his trip to the Middle East, Secretary Dulles emphasized that the United States,
together with Britain and France, are determined to prevent Arab-Israel border violations, or
attempts to violate the present armistice lines between Israel and the Arab states. He empha-
sized that the settlement of the Arab-Israel conflict would require concessions on the part of
both sides.

Israel Cabinet Crisis Settled- General Zionists Return.

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A full accord on the exclusive use of the national anthem and national
flag in state schools was reached here Sunday in a meeting between Premier David Ben-Gurion
and the four General Zionist leaders who resign ed from the Cabinet over the flag-anthem issue.
These developments followed a decision by the Mapai Central Committee that the issue be
submitted for discussion by the 400-man Mapai National Council.
The government crisis ended late Tuesday night when the executive of the General Zionist
Party voted for the return of its four Ministers to the Israel Cabinet, after receiving assurances
that there will be no repetition of the use of other flags and anthems in schools except the national.

Kashr t Problem Resolved at Sinai Hospital;
Agree ent Reached With Laymen and Rabbis

An agreement was reached this week between Sinai Hospital, the
Vaad Harabonim and the Laymen's Committee on Kashrut supervision in
the hospital's kosher kitchen.
Simultaneous with this announcement came the news of the assump-
tion this week by Rabbi David Bakst; secretary of the Council of Orthodox
Rabbis, of the post of supervisor (mashgiach) of the hospital's kosher
kitchens.
Announcement of this action was made by the Vaad Harabonim and
the Laymen's Committee on Kashrut, in a letter to Sinai Hospital signed
by Rabbi Isaac Stollman, Dean of the Vaad Harabonim, and David J.
Cohen, chairman of the Committee for Kashrut. The letter stated: "In ac-
cordance with our renewed discussions with you, we are happy to inform
Sinai Hospital that the Vaad Harabonim and the Laymen's Committee for
Kashrut have jointly resolved that the Vaad Harabonim initiate super-
vision of the kosher kitchens and kosher food facilities of Sinai Hospital
beginning with Wednesday, June 3, 1953."
Max Osnos, president of the Hospital, in a letter to Rabbi Stollman
and Mr. Cohen, expressed.the satisfaction of the hospital with the kashrut
program as outlined and voiced a vote of confidence in Rabbi Bakst as the

supervisor. Mr. Osnos declared that kosher food services will be available
to all those who wish it in accordance with the original intentions of the
Hospital board. -
The resolution by the Council of Rabbis, under which the kosher
kitchen service will operate, provides for adequate distribution of the
notice cards to every Jewish patient advising him that kosher food can
be had. It also insures that the supervisory service will cover both the
preparation and distribution of food as well as the handling of dishes,.
It makes clear that the hospital will depend upon the endorsement of
the Council of Rabbis in the employment of the present or any other
supervisor and reserves to the Council of Rabbis the right to withdraw
the endorsement.
Mr. Osnos stated that these terms would prove satisfactory to the
observant community and joined Rabbi Stollman in the hope that mutual
cooperation and reciprocity will exist toward the realization "of our com-
mon goal."
The kosher kitchen service as now in operation, is the result of nego
tiations that have gone on for some time, and the joint decision meets
the wishes of both the Hospital and the Rabbinical Council.
