Dr. Nahum Coidmann Warns:

Open Hostility to Israel, U.S. Waiting
May Cause War in Middle East

Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair-
man of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, back from an on-the-
spot study in Israel, warned
that unless the West takes
steps to check the present ex-
plosive situation in the Middle
East resulting f r o m Soviet
arming of the Arab states, the
Arab-Israel conflict Might ex-
plode into war.
He charged that the most re-
cent statement by Soviet party
boss Khrushchev "makes it clear
that the Soviet union is aligned
with the Arab states." He de-
scribed the position of Britain
as "clearly unfriendly to Is-
rael," and the U. S., while con-
siderably and patently frierid-
lien, as lacking in policy while
"time is running short." .
He warned that "if the bal-
ance of strength between Israel
and the Arab states" is not
preserved by •firm American
action, "the extremists in the
Arab states, emboldened by
their arms superiority, may be
induced to attempt to attack
and destroy Israel, and, as a
consequence of frustration,
alarm and despair, a frame of

mind might develop among
some in Israel towards fighting
it out before the Arabs have
established absolute and for-
rnid.able superiority."
As of today, however, "no
responsible leader in Israel,
and no one in the government
of Israel, entertains the alter-
native of a preventive war
which could only lead to ca-
tastrophy for all."
Announcing the conference
called 'by 16 major Jewish or-
ganizations, in Washington,
D. C., for Jan. 17 and 18, to
consider the Middle East situ-
ation, he said "the security of
Israel is intimately :tied to the
cause of the free world."
(Detroit will be represented
by Rabbi Leon Fram, Irving Po-
kempner, Philip Slomovitz,
Boris M. Joffe, Morris Schaver,
Harry Schumer, Leon Kay, and
Louis Rosenberg.)
He described as "the only
alternative, the provision of
U. S. arms to Israel to main-
tain the status quo in strength
and American guarantees of
the security and defense of
,Israel against aggression."

U.S.-British Parley Views Middle East Crisis

- (Continued from Page 1)

Anthony- proposed to President
Eisenhower that the U.S. join.
Britain in pressuring Israel and
the Arabs to settle the Palestine
dispute within six months.
Reports from London indicat-
ed that Sir Anthony will
bring such a proposal to
Washington. The same source
indicated that following the
two-day meeting of, the British
Middle Eastern • diplomats in
London, the British government
came to the conclasion that
Israel and the Arab countries
are incapable of reaching agree-
ment among themselVes, but
that a determined and coordi-
nated joint effort by the U.S.
and Britain on both sides of the
armistice line can bring about
a peace treaty soon.
- The report reaching here says
that the proposals drawn up in
London at the two-day parley
of British diplomats, which was
presented by Shuckburgh in'
Washington, call for American
membership in the Baghdad
Pact, a coordinated system of
financial, economic and techni-.
cal aid grants to Middle East
countries, a strong warning
against aggression and .a pledge
of assistance to any attacked
party. This would amount to a
reaffirmation of the 1950 Tri-
partite Declaration, but would
add additional safeguards
against aggression.
Meanwhile, the State Depart-
ment indicated that Secretary
of State Dulles may visit Israel
and Egypt during the first half
of March. Speculation followed
a Department announcement
that Secretary Dulles will leave
Washington March 2—probably
via the Middle East—to attend
a meeting at Karachi, Pakistan,
of the Foreign Ministers of na-
tions linked to the Southeast
Asia collective defense organi-
zation.
If the Arab-Israel crisis does
not abate in intensity, Govern-
ment sources indicated that Mr.
Dulles would stop off either to
or from Pakistan to see Israeli
and Egyptian leaders. Discus-
sions might "follow throtigh"
important policy decisions on
the Arab-Israel situation ex-
pected to emerge from the Ei-
senhower-Eden talks.

British Arms Shipments

It was reported in. London
that the loading of British rnili-
tary supplies bound for Egypt,
is nearing completion aboard
an Egyptian freighter at Liver-
pool. A check with the Vickers-
Armstrong Company elicited
the information that it had sent
some radio sets for use in tanks
aboard the vessel on orders

from the. British Ministry of
Supply.
The Vickers plant at New-
castle, manager P. H. Nuirhead,
revealed that 32 Centurion
tanks formerly used ' by the
British forces stationed in Ger-
many had been reconditioned
in his shop and shipped to
Egypt .last summer, on orders
of the British
, Ministry of Sup-
ply.
He also revealed that 12 Cen-
turion tanks were shipped to
Iraq this week, two paid for by
the British government and
the other ten a gift from the
Unittd States Government un-
der the terms of the mutual
security aid program.
An Egyptian freighter sailed
from Liverpool for Alexandria
with a cargo of 1,000 - tons of
British weapons supplied to the
Cairo regime by the British
government.
Mrs. Elizabeth Braddock, an
MP from Liverpool, addressing
a Zionist meeting there, charged
that there was a "racket" in the
Ministry of Supply involving
arms for Egypt, and expressed
the hope that the matter would
be brought to the attention of
the public.

contribution to a solution of the
problem. He referred to the
government's policy of reunit-
ing families separated by the
War of Liberation and intimat-
ed this would be broadened, but
stated flatly -that the govern-
ment would not accept respon-
sibility for resettling the refu-
gees.
During the debate, Mapam
deputy Yaacov Chazan fully
justified the decision to embark
on the raid against Syrian gun
posts on Lake Tiberias last
month, but insisted that Ben-
Gurion should have consulted
the Cabinet before ordering the
raid.
Chazan, whose party is the
farthest left in Israel except for
the Communists, rejected crit-
icism of Israel by Soviet leader
Nikita Khrushchev, and de-
clared that while he still con-
sidered the Soviet Union "a
fortress for peace," the Czech-
Egyptian arms deal would
"pave the road to war."

UN Expands Israel Aid
JERUSALEM, (JTA)— In-

creased Israel contributions to
the 'United Nations technical
assistance program and an ex-
pansion of the Ulq, assistance
program in Israel was an-.
hounced by Dr. Hart Shaaf,
resident representative of the
UN Technteal Assistance Bu-
reau.
For 1956, he said, 42 experts
from abroad will visit Israel to
assist in many fields and with
a variety of programs, while 41
Israeli fellows will go abroad
to aid other countries. This con-
trasts with 32 experts coming
here last year and 39 Israelis
going abroad. The program for
1956 will cost some $401,000, he
said, as compared to the $286,-
000 spent last year.
The program is financed by
voluntary contributions..L_ from
participating countries, 22 of
whom increased their pledges
this year. Israel will increase
its contribution by 80 percent
this year, the largest percent-
age increase of any participat-
ing country.

New State of Sudan
To Join Arab League

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Is-
rael's Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett has cabled his govern-
ment's felicitation to the new
State of Sudan.
From Cairo it was reported
that Premier Ismail el Azhari
of Sudan indicated that his
newly independent nation will
soon join the Arab League
alignment against Israel. He
said that he and his ministers
have agreed that Sudan, an
Arab state, must join the
League and will do so as soon
as the chief of the new state is
elected.
• The ruler of Bahrein is re-
ported having issued a decree
prohibiting his subjects from
trading with Israel. He took
this step in connection with
Arab League endeavors to pre-
vent oil from Bahrein from
reaching the Haifa refinery.
