Germany and Israel Sign $59,500,000 I 1
Pact on Reparations Deliveries
BONN, (JTA)—Dr. F. E. Shin-
nar, head of the Israel Pur-
chasing Mission in West Ger-
many, and Baron von Mahs of
the Bonn Ministry of Economics
signed an agreement covering
Germany's reparations schedule
to Israel during the fiscal year
beginning April 1.
The agreement, which' was
worked out in five weeks of ne-
gotiations between German.. and
Israel teams each consisting of
12 experts, -contains few major
changes from the pattern set in-
last "year's agreement.
Mr. Shinnar, in a statement
to the Jewish Telegraphic Agen
cy, expressed regret that Ger-
many had used the so-called es-
cape clause to unilaterally set
the total of reparations deliver-
ies in the coming year at the
equivalent of $59,500,000 in goods
and services. The Luxembourg
Agreement permitted Germany
to pay from $59,500,000 to $73,-
800,000 annually. It was assumed
that Germany would only re-
sort to the lesser figure in the
event that economic troubles de-
veloped in the German econo-
my. In fact, Germany is enjoy-
an unprecedented prosperity.
Of the funds made available
for next year, one-third will go
to pay British Commonwealth
countries for oil exports to Is-
rael. The Germans will make
payments f r o m sterling ac-
counts which they have. This al-
location is approximately the
same proportion of the total
reparations as last year's oil pur-
chases, which amounted to about
$18,000,000.
The remaining two-thirds of
the reparations schedule is split
fairly evenly between long-range
investment goods and semi-man-
ufactured or consumer products.
Ferrous and non-ferrous metal
products account for some $9,-
800,000, about the same as last
year, while non-metal industrial
products—covering a wide range
from concrete to pharmaceuti-
cals, chemicals and asbestos
fabrics—account for only $9,-
500,000 as compared to $11,200,-
060 last year. Agricultural items,
such as breeding stock and raw
products for the production of
margarine, have dropped from
$7,000,000 to $2,900,000.
The largest increase is in
products of the steel manufac-
turing industry, which includes
such items as machinery and ap-
pliances, ships, machine tools,
agricultural implements, electri-
cal generators and structural
steel products, as well as rail-
way flat cars, passenger cars,
welded tube and pipelines. In
the fiscal year of 1954, Israel
placed orders for some $9,500,000
worth of such goods, but next
year it will receive $15,400,000
worth of goods, making this the
largest of the five categories an
the German schedule.
Service charges will rise next
year from $3,600,000 to $4,300,-
000 for such items as freight in-
surance, administrative and
: other charges. One reason for
the increase will be the antici-
pated greater use of German
shipping to move reparations
goods to Israel, while another
will be payments scheduled to
be made in Israel's behalf to
the Lutheran World Organiza-
tion as compensation for Ger-
- man'Protestant church property
in Israel. By arrangement with
the Conference on Jewish Ma-
. terial Claims, Israel will make
,
-
available from its reparations
funds certain amounts approved
by the Claims Conference for re-
lief work among Jews in West
Germany and West Berlin.
Senate Hears Plea for
Continued Technical
AsSistance to. Israel
- WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Rabbi
Philip S. Bernstein,' chairman of
the American: Zionist .Cornniittee
for Public Affairs, appeared
be-
.
fore a Senate Foreign Relations
subcommittee where he stressed
the need for continued technical
aid to Israel. He pointed out
that many Jews from Morocco
may soon seek their way to Is-
rael because of the present sit-
uation in North Africa.
Rabbi Bernstein pointed out
that Israel has been compelled
by Arab intransigeance to de-
vote a large part of her budget
to defense. Also that she has
been compelled to deal with in-
numerable economic, political
and social problems of the great-
est magnitude.
