11.5. Defense Treaty with Israel Urged by
American Zionists; Jewish State's Destiny
Linked with U. S. by Atry General Brownell
WASHINGTON, (ITA) — The
Zionist Organization of America
adopted a resolution deploring
"recent actions of our State
Department" in arming Iraq and
making other offers of "arms or
military arrangements" which
"have only encouraged the Arab
governments to believe that an
Arab-Israel peace is not impera-
tive and that they may continue
to provoke tensions and out-
breaks along Israel's borders
with impunity." (A statement
revealing the existence of a split
within the ZOA was issued by
Louis Lipsky. See Page 1).
The ZOA called on the United
States "to alter this policy, par-
ticularly in view of the fact that
no arms or mutual security pact
have yet been offered to Israel."
The resolution said the ZOA
was "deeply disturbed by the
unabated tension." A defense
treaty linking Israel with the
United States was urged as a
solution for a n d means of
strengthening Middle Eastern
stability. The U.S. Government
was commended for continuing
economic and technical assist-
'ance to Israel and working to-
ward a. regional water agree-
ment.
Attorney General Herbert
Brownell, Jr., addressing the
convention yesterday, assured
the delegates that the United
States was "not unmindful" of
Israel's security. "It is our
hope and our desire," he stat-
ed, "that area defense ar-
rangements will d e v e l o p
through which all countries in
the area can contribute toward
their mutual protection
against aggression from the
Communist menace. This is
definitely in our own interest
and represents a major • ele-
ment in our policy for the
Middle East and for strength-
. ening the defense of the free
world." -
