Sharett Telb UJA Ileaders
U. S. Has 'Moral Obligation
For the Security of Israel

-

The
JERUSALEM, ( J TA )
State of Israel has been plunged
into its "supreme emergency" by
the assurance obtained by Egypt
of an overwhelming arms superi-
ority, Premier Moshe Sharett
warned 60 American Jewish
leaders here on a United Jewish
Appeal study mission. -
The Premier, who denounced
the Soviet Union as responsible
fOr this development, said that
the ,United States now had a
';‘rnoral obligation" to _ extend a
security pact to IsrAet and should
consider this issue as one "which
can now • be resolved without
Waiting for further preliminary
developments." He also called on
the United States to aid Israel to
redress the military balance by
supplying arms.
(Four Detroit Jewish leaders
arrived here together with 56
other prominent American
Jewish leaders on the 1955
United Jewish Appeal Study
Mission. They are Max M.
Fisher, Samuel H. Rubiner,
Isidore Sobeloff, and Max J.
Zivian. MeSSrs. Fisher, Rubiri-
er and Zivian are accompani-
ed by their wives.)
Mr.. Sharett told the delegation
its arrival coincided with a grave
Security crisis as a result of the
Czech-Egyptian arms deal. He
did not mince words in blaming
Moscow for the situation, and
said the Soviet act in sending
arms to Egypt "stands in shock-
ing contradiction to and is liable
to doom the much-vaunted spirit
of Geneva upon which countless
multitudes in all parts of the
globe have pinned their hopes for
peace and safety. The responsi-
bility of the Soviets for this
ostensibly commercial, but ac-
tually political and military deal
of the most pernicious nature is
inescapable," he declared.
"In view of this menacing
turn of events," Mr. Sharett
Continued, "is it not the moral
obligation of the United States
to act swiftly as the guardian

of peace and tranquility? We
feel more urgently entitled
than ever before to a security
treaty with the United States
which would go a long way to- .
ward buttressing our security
and deterring aggression by the
forces of evil. It is our hope
that the United States govern-
ment will today regard the idea
of a,security treaty with Israel,
which has long been under dis-
cussion and which was recent-
ly affirmed in principle, as a
direct and urgent issue and one
which can now be resolved
without waiting for further
preliminary developments." -
Even if an American security
guarantee is forthcoming, it can-
not possibly-cover air contingen-
cies and serve as an adequate
substitute for defensive strength,"
the . Premier said.
"Our • primary call," Premier
Sharett declared, "must there-
fore be to grant proper facilities
to enable us to acquire supple-
mentary armaments such as
would, at least in some measure,
mitigate the calamitous aggrava-
tion of our inferiority in terms
of equipment with which we are
about to be confronted."
The Premier discussed with the
delegation the effect that the
additional news burden for arma-
ments would have on Israel's
economy and stressed the sacri-
fices that would be required of
Israelis and the additional call
upon Jews of America And the
rest - of the 'free world.
Mr. Sharett described to the
mission the spontaneous out-
pouring of contributions for de-
fense which began after his
Knesset speech' on the security
situation and was estimated at
more than one million pounds in
the first three days.
"Under these circumstances,"
he noted, "it is now more in-
cumbent than ever upon the
Jewish communities of the free

world, and tirst and fOrernost,
the great democracy of the United
States, to exceed all tfieir
posirig records of generosity by
undertaking to bear the brunt of
Israel's great effort of develop-
ment and economic consolida-
tion."
Levi Eshkol, Minister of Fi-
nance, told • the American leaders
that Israel's people -will have,to
li-te another 10 years in a "spirit
of self-denial," if• they are to
achieve self-sufficiency.

Faith and Hope to Patients

Louis Pasteur 'Sets' Creed

"We do not ask an unfortunate, what country do you
come from or what is your religion? We say to him, you
suffer, that is enough. You belong to us; we will make
you well."—Louis Pasteur.
With that great scientist's and humanitarian's words
in mind, the City. of Hope was founded over forty years
ago with but two single tents and $138 in cash ... founded
TO GIVE FAITH AND HOPE to the suffering needy,
regardless of race, creed or color.
ZEDAKAH, the mainstay of the Jewish race and the
greatest attribute to its survival, ever present in the
hearts and minds of every :humanitarian' thinking indi-
vidual, can be credited with the beginnings and the
progress of this fabulous national Medical Center under
Jewish auspices.
Today, 20 miles from LoS Angeles, in the balmy
southern California desert, stands one of the HUMANI-
TARIAN WONDERS of the world. NO patient at the
City of Hope has paid for his care or treatment.
The City of Hope is a rare example of an institution
running true to an ideal. It. is a charity hospital that
shuns the word charity and "does not mind being in
the red." Says former executive director Samuel Goiter,
"If the cause is good, the money will come from some-
where."
And it does in the hundreds of thousands from groups
such as the Detroit Business Men's Group and from Worn-
en's auxiliaries, and Labor Unions and good individuals
with stretchy and understanding hearts, from all over
the country because like the noted Pasteur, they, too,
believe that "we are our brothers' keepers." -
