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." - Mr. Brownell. said the "issues of the Arab-Israel conflict can be resolved through patience and understanding.

This peace can be achieved only through patient and conciliatory examination of the problems which exist in the area, and through the develop- ment of understanding among its peoples.

Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, additese- ing the session, said that nor- malization of East-Wast rela- tionships could improve the in- ternational position of Israel. "If the approaching conference of the Big Powers in Geneva will succeed in reducing tensions and the dangers of an all-out war between the' free World and the Communist world, thp need for wooing the Arab states to line up on one side or the other will be greatly diminished," he stat- ed. ,DETROIT JEWISH NEWS - Friday, June 24, 1955 • Fun and and i .
