Dr. Silver's Arms-for-Israel Plea
Friday, May 4, 1956
Presented to Eisenhower and Dulles Social Service Bureau

-

WASHINGTON,' (J T A) —
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver was
received by President Eisen-.
hower at the White House, in
the presence of Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
Emerging after' an hour - long
meeting, Dr. Silver said he had
no way of knowing whether the
United States would sell arms to
Israel. He added that he had
obtained the impression that
Israel's arms application is un-
der active consideration. _
The American Zionist leader
told newsmen that the I4esi-
dent seemed familiar with the
Israel viewpoint on the arms
issue. He quoted the President
as saying it was one of the ma-
jor subjects which concern him
every .day. Asked if he was en-
couraged by what he was told
at 'the White House, Dr. Silver
said that such encouragement
could only be brought about by
positive action. He emphasized
that' he would never be satis-
fied until arms are actually
provided. But, he said, he was
satisfied -the question is being
treated in a serious, frie,ndly,
and urgent manner.
Dr. Silver termed the discus-
sion "frank and friendly." He
said he described at consider-
able length Israel's need .for
arms as a deterrent against ag-
gression. He reported on his re-
cent observations. in Israel and
told Mr. Eisenhower of the con-
cern and sense. of isolation% and
insecurity in Israel resulting
from the Communiit-Egyptian
arms deal.
Secretary of State Dulles
refused to comment before the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee one what the Ad-
ministration thought of the •
imbalance of armed strength
between Israel and the Arabs
caused by the flow of Com-
munist arms "to Egypt.

Khrushchev Would "Welcome"
Ban On Arms to Israel, Arabs
LONDON, (JTA) — Soviet
Communist party chief Nikita
Khrushchev climaxed talks
which he and Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin had held with
British Prime Minister Sir An-
thony Eden and in which the
problem of Middle East tension

had figured . as a major item,
with a. statement that his coun-
try would "welcome" a United
Nations ban" on arms shipments
to Israel and the Arab states.
In a statement made just prior
to his departure, the Communist
leader said the Soviet Union
would welcome an agreement
on such an embargo by U. N.
members and would "be pre-
pared to take part in such an
undertaking which would help
bring about peaceful conditions
in the troubled area of the
world."
Great Britain and the Soviet
Union, in a joint statement is-
sued here called upon the Arab
countries and Israel "to take
measures to prevent increased
tension in the area of the de-
marcation line established in
accordance with the relevant
armistice agreement."

- (In Washington, President Eis-
enhower told a press conference
that he would have to be con-
vinced that a summit confer-
ence on the Arab-Israel issue
would be useful before he
would consider such a propo-
sal.)

The statement by Khrushchev
was interpreted here today to
mean that the Soviet govern-
ment would discontinue supply-
ing arms to Egypt if the West-
ern Powers would agree to a
"blanket freeze" on all arms
shipments to that area. If this
were the case, it was pointed
out, Egypt would be left in a
position of great strength over
Israel, since Egypt has already
received a huge quantity of of-
fensive arms from Communist
countries, while Israel's appli-
cation for arms to the United
States has not as yet been acted'
upon and in view of the fact
that other Western countries
have not sold arms to Isgael.
(In Washington, the professed
Soviet willingness to abide by
an overall United Nations em-
bargo on arms was received
coolly since' it would imply the
abandonment of the Baghdad
Pact.)
