WASHINGTON—Israel Ambassador Eban, after an
emergency hour-long talk late Monday with Assistant Sec-
retary of State Henry Byroade, made known that he strong-
ly urged the State Department to desist from what he
termed "such an imprudent cause" as the arming of Iraq.
Mr. Eban said the purpose of the meeting was to seek clari-
fication for the Israel government of a statement issued in
Baghdad and Washington on the subject of the transfer of
free American munitions to Iraq and to urge abstention
from this course.
The Israel Ambassador reiterated his government's
strongest and most vigorous conviction that such arms sup-
plies would increase tension in what he described as an
already tense area. In response to Secretary Byroade's ex-
planation why Iraq was to receive arms, Mr. Eban made it
clear that Israel opposed the entire concept of military aid
to a country because of its hostile attitude toward Israel.
Before Ambassador Eban met with Secretary Byroade,
the latter spent one-and-a-ltalf hours with Jacob Blaustein,
former president of the American Jewish Committee. Mr.
Blaustein and Secretary Byroade exchanged opinions on
the State Department's decision to supply arms to Iraq.
The Israel Embassy revealed on Tuesday the contents
of a note handed to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
by Ambassador Eban, several weeks ago, in which the gov-
ernment of Israel informed the State Department that it
considers the provision of arms to Iraq as inconsistent with
the tripartite declaration of May 25, 1950, and that it does
not believe any "assurances" would deter the use of such
arms against Israel.
"The despatch of arms to Iraq by the United States
in the present conditions," the note said, "would be in-
terpreted throughout the Middle East as acquiescence in
current Arab policies toward Israel which are marked by
a fierce hostility." It pointed out that "there is already
evidence that Arab hostility to Israel has been intensified
by the assumption of the Arab government that the
United States is increasingly indulgent to Arab policies."
Mr. Dulles was told that "a sentiment in Israel that
the security of the state has been prejudiced through
needless reinforcement of its hostile neighbors by the
United States would in itself be a source of added tensions
in the life of the Middle East."
Stressing the fact that Israel would not do anything
"which the friendly American people could regard as di-
rectly prejudicial to the security or independence of the
United States," the note asked the U. S. to refrain from
a step "which, whatever its justification on other grounds,
