$110,000,000 in Loans Asked •of U. S. Jewry
By Bond Organization; Eban Takes Exception
To Dulles' Proposal for Boundaries' Changes

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Isra-

policy statement with regard to
the Arab-Israel situation made
recently by Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles were convey-
ed "within the past few days"
to the U. S. Government, it was
revealed by Israel Ambassador
Abba Eban, addressing the Na-
tional Mobilization Conference
for Israel bonds which was at-
tended by more than 1,000 Jewish
leaders from all parts of the
country.

The conference concluded its
three - day deliberations with
the adoption of a resolution
calling upon American Jewry to
raise for Israel $35;000,000 be-
tween now and the end of the
year, through the sale of Is-
rael borids, in order to help the

threats. The resolution pledged
"the fullest measure of devo-
tion" to the bond campaign in
response to an urgent request
made to the conference by Is-
rael's Finance Minister Levi
Eshkol, who pleaded that bond
sales be stepped up to yield
$35,000,000 more this year and
another $75,000,000 in 1956.

Ambassador Eban told the con-
ference that the desirability of
guaranteeing the existing Arab-
Israel boundaries was "the cen-
tral theme of the criticism. which
Prime Minister Sharett and I
with his authority, have submit-
ted to the U. S. Government.
"This, he told the delegates, was
the main point conveyed in his
statement to the State Depart-
ment on the Israel government's
reaction towards Secretary Dul-
les' statement. He added that Sec-
retary Dulles' proposal of an
American security treaty with Is-
rael "as it stands, contains a
built-in deadlock, with somber
potentialities of anti-climax and
disillusionment."
The view of the Israel govern-
ment, Mr. Eban said, is that "this
danger "of deadlock is superfluous.
Nothing in the situation objec-
tively requires it. There is no rea-
son for not applying the treaty
to the present agreed frontier;
and no merit in withholding that
solution pending a new frontier
agreement." He stressed the fact
that it was "acutely dispiriting to
read the paragraph on frontiers"
in the Dulles statement suggest-
ing the possibility of an Ameri-
can-Israel treaty. "This provision
could well de'stroy the validity
and effect of the bold statement
on an American treaty," Mr.
Eban declared.

we shall accept no unilateral con-
cessions for ourselves, just as we
have demanded none from our
neighbors." At the same time, he
testified "to certain eminently
constructive features of the Sec-
retary's speech." However, he
argued at length against the Dul-
les thinking on the withholding
of a treaty pending a new fron-
tier agreement and pointed out
that "if the present frontier could
be a fitting subject for a tripar-
tite statement in 1950 it cannot
be_ an unfitting subject for a
treaty engagement today."
Declaring that "the present
frontier is one of the few ele-
ments of stability in the current
scene," Mr. Eban stated: "To un-
derestimate its status and au-
thority would not be. prudent.
Any other frontier is a thing of
paper, and imagination, whereas
this frontier is real and has. prov-
ed its essential stability." He
asked why "the great conception
of an American treaty" was "at-
tached to a dubious non-existent
line rather than to this stable
fulcrum."
"The parties are more likely
to resign themselves, however,
tacitly and reluctantly, to their
present frontier than to reach
a new agreement," the Ambas-
sador indicated. "At any rate,
there can be no question of uni-
lateral concession by Israel to the
Arab states which are so abun-
dant .in territory," he added. He
urged that now when there has
been an expressed willingness by
the American Government to en-
ter a treaty "that this priceless
stability be conferred upon our
region now, and not be lost
through association with unat-
tainable conditions."

of the

Israel's Finance Minister Levi
Eshkol, addressing the confer-
ence, expressed fear over the fate
of Moroccan Jewry. He asked:
"How can we stand by and let
rampant Arab nationalism crush
Jewish men, women and chil-
dren? How can we leave Jewish
communities hostage in Arab
countries?" He said that "to fi-
nance the North African immi-
gration, we need_ new resources
—above and beyond any funds on
which we had counted in the
past."
Reporting on the Gaza situa-
tion, Mr. Eshkol said: "About
two weeks ago, a band of mur-
derers was sent into Israel by the
Egyptian authorities in Gaza.
Most of these men were released
from Egyptian prisons, and were
promised full release after com-
pleting their evil commission in

adjustments w h i c h, whatever
their defects or merits, may not

asked. He cautioned that "unless
the central purpose of an Ameri-
can security treaty is disengaged
from impending conditions and
from the threat of being vetoed
by those opposed to stability in
our region, the, whole plan, de-
spite its constructive potentiality,
may hold within itself a somber
potentiality of deadlock and dis-
illusionment."

A reader of the Dulles state-
ment, Mr: Eban continued,
"having been told that the
United States holds the key in-
strument to stability, suddenly
learns that the instrument may
not be used." He pointed out
_ that "to . make the treaty de-
pendent on a contingency as re-
mote as an agreed frontier
change would not be far from
rejecting the treaty altogether.
Thus the main solution to the
problem of tension is first out-
lined in full stature—and then
seriously compromised by be-
ing made dependent on what
may well be an unattainable
condition."
