Detroit Jewish News-5 Dr. Goldman'', Attacks Delay of Arms, Security Measures Direct JTA Teletype Wire To The Jewish News Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair- man of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, was pessimistic about either the United States or France providing arms to Is,- rael. In the major address at the opening session of the con- ference, Tuesday evening, at the Shoreham Hotel, Dr. Gold- mann deplored the delay by the Big Three in providing arms to Israel to balance the flow of Communist munitions to Egypt. Dr. Goldmann said Great Britain was the most guilty among the Big Three because it has shipped arms to Egypt. 'while denying them to Israel. Dr. Goldmann said: "Presi- dent Eisenhower, in his State of the Union message, ex- pressed the underlying prin- ciple of American policy — a correct and wise principle — when he said America's mili- tary power is the chief deterent to Communist aggression. Why is this elementary truth for America right for all free na- tions, and why is it wrong and improper for Israel?" He said: "Shapers of Amer- ican policy are men of goodwill and honest intent, but unfor- tunately they have vacillated too long. They have lacked de- Histadrut Urges Five Percent Hike in Wage Level Direct JTA Teletype Wire To The Jewish News TEL AVIV — Increase of five percent in basic wages should be granted to Israeli workers, it was decided here by the execu- tive of Histadrut, Israel labor federation. . The decision followed pro- longed discussion and negotia- tion which necessitated partici- pation at one time of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Minister of Finance Levi Esh- kol Exact increases for each of the trades will be determined by the federation's trade union department. On the other hand earlier promises to professionals and certain of the trade unions would now be shelved and wages of workers in these cate- gories are to be frozen because of the present emergency. De- cision. as to whether new in- creases should be tied to a cost of living index will also be made by the trade union depart- ment. The decision to ask this wage increase pattern was taken by a majority vote, in the executive The vote was recorded as fol- lows: Mapai, 32 votes in favor of the pattern; Achdut Avodah, 8 votes; Mapam, 7 votes; Haoved one vote; Communists, two votes — all against. Each of minority groups put forward its own proposals and all were de- feated by the Mapai majority. Groups to the left of Mapai had asked larger increases with Achdut Avodah asking ten per- cent and Communists asking 30 percent. Prior to adoption of the reso- lution, Eshkol told Histadrut leaders that " a raise in pay and more bank notes will not raise the standard of living but will bring inflation." This. he added, might not be felt immediately but it would be felt in a few months time. The only way to combat inflation, he asserted -, was to increase production and exports. Meanwhile, it was learned here that Israel's exports dropped slightly in the last month. The report was based on government statistics.

If the American people will it, the State Department will do its will." Stating that he did not hes- itate "to say there is no prob- ability that either the United States or France will soon send arms to Israel," Dr. Goldmann stressed that "we must not con- found consideration of Israel's request for arms with the meet- ing of this request." He said, "Assuming that Israel is inclined to slight hysteria, we cannot relieve her hysteria except by re- moving circumstances that have brought it on. Nor can we, who feel an especially strong kinship for Israel, be admonished for sharing her apprehensions, so long as nothing has been done to re- store her confidence." Dr. Goldmann cited the de- struction of the Warsaw ghetto. He said: "It would be a great, error to disregard the mounting air of isolation and frustration in Israel in the face of mount- ing Egyptian strength. Do not expect sober judgment, sweet reason and psychological re- straint from an alarmed people. I, for one, shall not presume to pass judgment on Israel's ac- tions even on such action that has been described as detri- mental to Israel's own interests and complicating dangerous sit- uation, but I do know and state this view without equivocation or qualification: that to cite such action as an excuse for further delay of Israel's request for arms and security guaranty is to season diplomacy with moral hypocrisy and to court peril. We cannot afford to ig- nore the psychological temper of the Arab people. "Some people in the State Department a r e preoccupied day and night with Nasser's mood, Salem's whims and vag- aries of Arab public opinion. I do not critize them for this preoccupation, but they would accrue no harm if they showed also some concern for the mood of Ben-Gurion, the feeling of Sharett and the temper of Is- rael's public opinion. "It would be well for the State Department to recall that an important change has oc- curred in the destiny of a con- siderable faction of the Jewish people. Israelis may die in bat- tle, but they will not wait to be massacred." Dr. Goldmann asked: "Why should the Arab states, sworn to vengeance against Israel, agree to negotiate peace under conditions so favorable to them? Yet America, whose policy and purpose is peace, does nothing to alter a condi- tion that prevents peace." He said: "S hould the United States arm Israel, the Arab states will at once real- ize that what confronts them is not a cake-walk victory, but a senseless and futile arms race. Should America extend security guarantees to Israel, the Arab states would be forced to realize that their hope of destroying Israel is a dangerous illusion.' It is at this point they would be ready to consider peace." In an evident reply to the Council for Judaism, Dr. Gold- mann said, "Dual allegiance" was "a fiction incubated in the minds of unbalanced, inferior- ity-ridden Jews who pose as super-patriotic Americans and yet malign the nature of Amer- ican democracy by comforting themselves like the Judenrats of Nazi Europe in a land that has cradled the concept of lib- erty and human dignity. "They are clinical creatures . . . they are the concern of psychiatry." Dr. Goldmann sug- gested that no one, including officials of the Department of State, has a right to suggest to us the nature and intensity of our emotional and spiritual relationship to Israel." * * * Organized Labor Stoutly Backs Israel Leaders of organized labor registered strong support .of Is- rael and Israel's appeal for arms. George Meany, president of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations, in a message to the emergency con- ference, urged "reaffirmation of the Tripartite Declaration of 1950, implemented by means to enable Israel to obtain arms for defense." Meany said: "The AFL-CIO considers the recent interven- tion of Soviet Russia into Middle Eastern affairs a grave threat to world peace. We feel America and her allies, to- gether with the United Nations, should act to prevent aggres- sion in that area. Positive steps should include mutual defense pacts, economic aid and promo- tion of friendly relations be- tween Israel and the Arab na- tions, based on 'mutual recog- nition of each other's existence and territorial integrity." Meany's message was read by Adolph Held, chairman of Friday, January 20, 1956 the Jewish Labor Committee. Held told the conference that the American labor movement had stood by Jewry. He said leaders of labor in attendance at the conference joined in urg- ing an end to the "State De- partment policy which appeases Arab tyrannies at the expense of . . . Israel." Held charged that "Nasser is Bulganin's mes- senger boy, in the Middle East, just as the Grand Mufti was Hitler's appeasement of tyr- anny. It has always proved catastrophic when employed by democracies." Held said free labor joined in demanding that American foreign policy pre- v e n t- "extermination of the State of Israel by the Nasser, Bulganin axis." FOR THE BEST DEAL YET . .
