This was the first time that an official repre- sentative of Israel addressed a major Roman Catholic audience in_ the United States. "An understanding of the spirit of the Christian world ranks high among Israel's chief aspirations," Mr. Eban said. "We are fully aware that many causes and assets sacred to Christianity lie within our control and demand our most vigilant reverence. This consideration has led us constantly, in recent years, to proclaim our readiness to place under- international influence the Holy Places in Jerusalem which are the cradle and inspiration • of the Christian Faith." The Israel Ambassador reviewed - the considerations which have .caused the governments of the United States Named Pre-Campaign and of Israel to cooperate within the United Nations on Chairman for 1955 behalf of solutions which respect both the sovereignty and secular independence o f Jerusalem's popUlation a ri d the rights of the Christian world to see its Holy Places kept immune from turbulence. "I am satisfied that this attitude is now shared by a majority of the members of the United Nations;" he declared. - Expressing satisfaction with the fact that he had been invited to speak before "this Catholic sanctuary," Mr. Eban said he considers the invitation a reflection of the convic- tion that "the unfolding of Israel's new career as a nation is a matter of moment and concern to the Christian world." "The great issue in this generation is drawn not be- tween Christia.nity and Judaism or between Israel and the Christian naton," he stated. "You and we occupy different areas of tradition, experience and outlook, but • we occupy them 'on the . same side of that faithful demarcation. Our differences are not insignificant and we should not be dis- posed to obscure them. It may well be that those "elements of our personality which are separate and distinctive are precisely the most creative elements in our contribution to MAX FISHER has been named the common cause. 8 "The rise of Israel," he continued, "is a victory of the human spirit, a triumph of international integrity, a burden removed from the universal conscience, the addition .of a new voice to the sympathy of human freedom. This is, then, a victory for the Jewish people." Mr. tban noted that "the Biblical struggle of the Jewish people for freedom had inspired and consoled many subsequent movements of national independence, including that of the United States. When Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were consulted on the emblem of the future American Union, they suggested that the seal of the United States of America should represent the Children of Israel fleeing across the parted waters of the Red Sea on the way to freedom," .
