Hoover Report Credits U.S. Aid
With Israel's Stabilizing Economy
WASHINGTON, ( J T A ) —A
Hoover Commission report on
overseas economic operations
linked future United States aid
to Israel with American foreign
policy objectives with respect. to
the Jewish state.
Conclusions of an extensive
study of .aid to Israel and other
countries were made known in
the report by the body which
is formally known as the Com-
mission on Organization of the
Executive Branch of the Gov-
ernment and which is under the
chairmanship of former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.
The report, transmitted to Con-
gress, stated:
"Whether or not future aid to
Israel other than technical as-
sistance should be continued de-
pends on United States foreign
policy objectives with respect to
the future, of that country. Im-
mediate objectives have been
reached. Immigration has stop-
ped, temporarily at least. The
country is not in acute financial
distress or in danger of becoming
so in the immediate forseeable
future. There is no serious in-
ternal weakness in Israel that
would invite Arab attack; and
no important Pressures within
Israelato attack the Arab states.
There is no immediate apparent
danger that the armistice agree-
ment obligation of the United
States (along with that of Brit-
ain and France) to maintain the
present boundaries between Is-
rael and the Arab states will
lead to the involvement of this
country.
U.S. Morally Obligated
"On the other hand," the re-
port continues, "the United
States may have some moral ob-
ligation to Israel since it exerted
a strong influence in the decis-
ion to set up an independent
nation and a national home for

the Jewish people there. The
country has made rapid progress,
but it still has some years to
go (possibly 7 or 8) before it
becomes economically self- suf-
ficient, even at the level of the
present low standard of living.
In the meanwhile, it must de-
pend on reparations, loans and
gifts from its friends abroad.
"Until it achieves viability it
will' be a potential danger spot,"
the report stresses. "P resent
United States policy is to relieve
reasons for tension • between Is-
rael and the Arab states as rap-
idly as possible. Economic as-
sistance to both sides will in-
crease the United States influ-
ence and make its task of pre-
venting war in that strategic
area much easier. The extent
and form of future United
States assistance to Israel, if any,
should be based on a United
States foreign policy .decision,
developed in part from recom-
mendations of the National Se-
curity Council.
Aid Influenced Israel
"From its inception to the pre-
sent, United States economic aid
to Israel has influenced events
there and has played an impor-
tant part in bringing about the
present fairly satisfactory situa-
tion. It has been administered
in as satisfactory a manner as
could be expected," the report
states.
"Much more, however, could
have been accomplished with
better administration of the tech-
nical assistance program. • Since
technical assistance will prob-
ably continue for some time to
come, and since it can accomplish
results substantially greater than
the amount of funds expended,
this type of United States -aid
in Israel should be given greater
emphasis.
"The cost of the Israel pro-
gram, $186,000,000 for economic
aid, $1,200,000 for tc.:e.hnical as-
sistance, and $1,000,000 for ad-
ministration, does not seem too
great a price to have paid for
preventing that country from go-
ing bankrupt with the concom-
itant risk of Arab attack and
war in this strategic area of
the Middle East," the report
concludes.

The announcement that Nathan
Milstein, world-famous violinist,
will appear in Detroit Nov. 12,
under sponsorship of the Zionist
Organization of Detroit, is being
received with widespread en-
thusiasm, states Samuel Feld::
stein, chairman.
A growing list of workers has
been recruited among ZOD mem-
bers for the Balfour Concert, at
which Milstein will perform. The
performance is scheduled in the
Masonic Temple auditorium, and
a reception will follow in the
Fountain Ballroom.
"In presenting a different type
of attraction this year," Feld-
stein said, "we believe we are
reflecting the interests of the
community and the ever-progres-
sive program of the ZOA. We
look forward to the same support
we have always received from
friends in Detroit."
The concert is a departure
from the Balfour Ball, which in
previous years had marked the
high point of social activity in
the local community.
