B-G Rejects Left-Wing Demands for 'Neutralism'

committed suicide two weeks
ago—when he wept openly—did
the Premier appear to be other
than the biting, slashing pro-
phetic figure familiar to the
Knesset membership.
Replying to Chazan's demand
for neutralism, the Premier as-
serted that neutralism was pos-
sible in two forms alone—that
all nations of the world con-
cede Israel the sort of neutral
status granted Switzerland, or
that Israel be neutral in its deal-
ings with all nations.
The first is not possible, he
continued, because the Arab
states — neither the pro-Soviet
nor the pro-Western states—are
not prepared to grant Israel
neutrality. Nor have the rest of
the nations of the world indi-
cated a desire to grant Israel
such a status, he said. Indeed,
he added, there was no reason
that they should single out Is-
rael as sancrosanct without simi-
lar guarantees to Belgium, Hun-
gary or other countries. The
United Nations, he said, could
not be depended upon to guar-
antee Israel's security as Israel
had learned in 1948 and again
in 1951 when the Security Coun-
cil ordered an end to the Suez
blockade of her shipping.
As for Israel's neutrality to-
ward other nations, Ben-Gurion
noted that Israel desired equal-
ly good relations with all states
and was working in that direc-
tion. But this did not depend on
Israel alone, he pointed out.
It was not Israel but the Sovi-
et Union which had breached
an oil supply and trade agree-
ment, Mr. Ben-Gurion remind-
ed his listeners. "Several times
we asked the Soviets for scien-
tific assistance but they have not
responded, but we showed no
I resentment. When we received
such minor favors as the photo-
graphing of (Jewish and He-

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Ap-
pearing in the Parliament of Is-
rael for the first time since he
vas wounded there by a mad-
man's hand grenade, Premier
David Ben-Gurion—his injured
leg still shoeless—closed a_ for-
eign policy debate by firmly re-
j‘.c.ting left-wing proposals that
Israel alter its foreign policy
in the direction of neutralism.
The Premier was upheld in a
vote of 63 to 12, after his 70-
minute address.
Explaining in detail the rea-
sons why the Israel government
found it impossible to adopt a
neutralist policy, the Premier
voiced a long and sharp criti-
cism of the Soviet Union—no-
ticeably much sharper than his
remarks opening the debate a
month ago.
Ben-Gurion, summing up in-
stead of Foreign Minister Golda
Meir, who is at home nursing
her injured foot, hurt in the
same bomb attack, insisted that
Israel's position in the inter-
national situation was markedly
improved over what it was two
years ago. He assailed and re-
jected all prophecies of doom
and trumpeted his faith that the
free nations still have the power
to deter aggression.
Most of his biting oration was
aimed at refuting the remarks
of two deputies—Yaacov Cha-
zan, leader of the Mapam, a
member of the government co-
alition, and Jochanan Bader, fi-
ery deputy of the opposition
Herut. Only during the first few
minutes, as he paid tribute to
the memory of Col. Nehemiah
Argov, his military aide who

the Premier dismissed as "tan-
tamount to suicide." To Peretz
Bernstein, General Zionist lead-
er, he said that the government
could not have explained be-
forehand its intentions concern-
ing Sinai. To have breached se-
crecy, he asserted, would have
endangered the campaign and
laid Tel Aviv and Haifa open to
bombardment.
To the world at large, the
Premier reiterated that peace
in the Middle East is possible
only on the basis of negotiat-
ing with Israel as it is; anyone
who counsels truncating Israel,
he stated, advocates continua-
tion of the Middle East tension.
For the benefit of friend and
foe alike, Ben-Gurion called Is-
rael's current foreign policy the
"right one and not ineffective—
our international position today
is much better than it was two
years ago."
The most stringent security
measures were in effect while
he spoke. The visitors gallery
was half empty. Newspapermen
and guests were checked sever-
al times and their every move
was under surveillance of secret
service men and uniformed ush-
ers.
An examining magistrate or-
dered Moshe Douek, 25-year-old
immigrant from Iraq, to stand
trial within two weeks in the
bombing of the Knesset which
injured Prime Minister Ben-Gu-
rion and four other Cabinet
Ministers. Magistrate Haimo-
vich or der e d the trial on
charges of throwing a bomb
with intent to cause grievous
harm. Conviction carries a pos-
sible penalty of life imprison-
ment.
Moshe Shapira, Minister for
Religion, the most seriously in-
jured of five Cabinet members,
underwent a fifth and sixth op-
eration at Hadassah Hospital.
One was described as involving
a kidney, the other the abdo-
men. The last bulletin from the
hospital described his condition
as satisfactory.
The Israel Foreign Ministry
surrendered to a boycott of the
entire local and foreign press
corps in this country and with-
drew a three-month-old regula-
tion governing the visits of
newspapermen to the Ministry.
During the boycott period, im-
portant press conferences were
held in their homes by top For-
eign Ministry officials since this
was the only way to reach the
press.
The offending regulation had
demanded that each newspaper-
man fill out a lengthy question-
naire upon each visit to the
Ministry, take the document
with him to the person he vis-
ited and have the latter coun-
tersign it, noting the exact dur-
ation of the visit. As of today,
the Ministry will only require
that a newspaperman entering
the building identify himself as
a reporter and make a verbal
statement of whom he intends
to visit.

Commerce's arbitration tribunal

Israel may order ships from'
Polish shipyards and Zim, the
Israel Shipping Company, may
become an agent for the Ro-
manian shipping company. This
was considered here as pointing
to the possibility of a marked
improvement in trade relations
between Israel and countries of
the Eastern bloc.
The possibility of such im-
provement, following the sign-
ing by Israel of an expanded
trade pact with Poland and an
anticipated greater trade with
Yugoslavia, was contrasted here
with the continuing anti-Israel
campaign conducted by Moscow
and its tightening economic
grip on Syria and Egypt.
Zim reportedly received of-
fers from a number of ship-
yards throughout the world. The
lowest bids came from Poland
and Zim was considered likely

began formal hearings Nov. 21
of Israel's suit against the Sovi-
et Union for 2,400,000 pounds
in damages sustained through
the unilateral breaching of a
contract to supply two Israel
firms with crude oil. Observers
here view this as a "test case"
of Moscow's intentions in inter-
national trade.
The two Israeli importers, De-

lek National Oil and the Pal-
estine Electric Corporation's
subsidiary — Jordan Investment
Ltd. — have brought suit for
damages under one of six con-
tracts they had with a Soviet
oil exporting firm. The Soviet
company refused to ship oil af-
ter the Sinai campaign began,
on the excuse that Moscow
would not grant export licenses.
The Israeli suit argues that
the exporter is a national com-
pany and cannot claim to have
been halted by a superior au-
thority and, secondly, that nev-
er in the past had the question
of export licenses ever been
raised.,

to order one and perhaps more
ships from Polish yards. A Zim
delegation was also scheduled
to leave early in January for
Bucharest to negotiate with Ro-
manian authorities for an agree-
ment — which was reported to
have been reached in principle
—for Zim ships to be carriers
for Romanian freight on the
North Atlantic and perhaps the
West African lines where the
Romanian shipping company
has no ships.
