the countries of this region but
to the whole world. "I think
your government is not respon-
sible for such a situation, but
that the responsibility rests on
the neighboring countries' gov-
ernments," Mr. Morrison said.
The Labor leader also praised
Israel's achievement, which he
said were admired by the whole
world, and asserted that it
would be a "tragedy" if "you
failed to consolidate the state."
He called upon labor to increase
its productivity so as to increase
the country's .exports, stressing
that Israel like England must
"export or die." He said that
when the people of Israel made
sacrifices similar to those
achieved during the war of lib-
eration Israel would reach
economic independence
a n d
would contribute toward foster-
ing world peace.

Israel, USSR Agreement
Made on Oil Shipments
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Delek,
the Israel national fuel corpora-
tion, has reached an agreement
with the Soviet Union for the
purchase of 100,000 tons of Rus-
sian crude oil, the first ship-
ments of which will begin to ar-
rive in this country shortly, it
was announced Tuesday by Dr.
I. Meron, director of Delek.
Earlier, Israel signed an agree-
ment for the purchase of 150,-
000 tons of fuel oil, deliveries of
which have been proceeding
without hitch, according to Dr.
Meron. The oil company official
also noted that shipments of
Russian oil cost only one half
as much to transport as Vene-
zuelan oil. The Soviet oil, for
which Israel pays in citrus prod-
ucts, fills about one-fourth of
Israel's annual needs.
