NEW YORK (JTA) — The
hope that the Soviet government
will recognize that the legiti-
mate national rights of the Jews
in the Soviet Union cannot be
"stifled," and will permit So-
viet Jewry free national self-
expression, "both in terms of
cultural self-expression and the
right for those who wish to
emigrate to Israel," was ex-
pressed by Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann in an article in the New
York Herald-Tribune.
Dr. Goldmann pointed out
that over many years there have
been attempts to talk with So-
viet leaders about the situation
of the Jews in the Soviet Union,
but these attempts came to noth-
Ex-Air Secretary
Demands U. S.
Press ME Peace
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—For-
mer Air Force Secretary Thom-
as K. Finletter told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
that the United States should
demand Arab peace treaties
with Israel because "the most
damaging fact in the Near East
is the continued assertion of a
state of belligerency by Arab
states against the State of Is-
rael."
Above all, he said, "our policy
toward the Near East should
give up all attempts to appease
any country of the area at the
expense of principles in which
we ourselves believe." He
warned that "continuation of
the economic blockade or any
other form of war against the
State of Israel "by the Arab
powers" is a violation of the
United Nations Charter and
should not be accepted by any
member of the United Nations.
The former Air -Force Secre-
tary said the United States
should insist "primarily within
the United Nations" that the
Arab states sign peace treaties
with Israel. He expressed a
view that stability is impossible
in the Near East until the vir-
tual state of war between the
Arabs and Israel is terminated.
He called for American initi-
ative in proposing an embargo
on arms shipments to the Near
East and "an inspection and
control system by the United
Nations which should regulate
and reduce the existing arms of
the area to levels needed for
domestic policing." However,
he said, no such arrangements
were possible without peace
treaties.
Truman Says Economic
Weapons Can Halt Soviet
In Middle East Crisis
CHICAGO, (JTA)—President
Harry S. Truman apologized to
an audience of 22,000 persons
at Chicago Stadium for being
unable to attend, as scheduled,
the midwestern celebration of
Israel's tenth anniversary. The
function was sponsored by the
Israel Bond Organization in co-
operation with all the major
Jewish groups in Chicago.
Mr. Truman, whose travel
plans were vetoed by his phy-
sician, declared in. a filmed in-
terview with Col. Jacob Arvey,
honorary chairman of the Chi-
cago Israel Bond Committee,
that no peace settlement be-
tween the Arabs and Israel can
be based on "whittling down
Israel's territory or on under-
mining her chances of stability
and survival."
He asserted, too, that Soviet
influence in the Middle East
could be checked "not by the
instruments of war, but by a
bold and large-scale use of
economic weapons." He cited
the Israel Bond drive as a "good
example of how investment
funds can be channeled into
economic development."
ing because Soviet spokesmen
claimed that "there is no Jew-
ish problem in the Soviet
Union."
However, in his recent state-
ment to the Paris newspaper
"Le Figaro" Soviet Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev made an im-
portant departure by emphasiz-
ing that the Jews in the Soviet
Union constitute a nationality
separate and distinct from other
nationalities in the USSR, and
that they do not live in similar
conditions to the other nation-
alities there.
The world Jewish leader em-
phasized in his article that
Khrushchev's characterization of
the Jews as "essentially intel-
lectual" gives cause for con-
cern. "Wherever such generali-
zations have been made," Dr.
Goldmann wrote, "they have al-
ways been accompanied by an
attempt to discriminate against
Jews, as such, by imposing re-
strictions of one kind or another
on their entry into universities
or the- professions.
"One cannot help reading be-
tween the lines of Khrushchev's
statement on this point a justifi-
cation of the numerous com-
plaints that reach us from the
Soviet Union, that in practice
the right of Jews to secure a
higher education is being re-
stricted.
"That means in effect that
the Jewish nationality in the
Soviet Union is deprived of all
the positive attributes of na-
tionality," Dr. Goldmann con-
tinued. "It cannot come to the
national center in Israel; it can-
not organize its national cul-
tural life as it wishes—but at
the same time it is left with
all the negative aspects of its
national existence, namely, the
restriction for individual Jews
to develop as they wish and the
impossibility of assimilation.
"That constitutes the basic
description of the nature of the
Jewish problem in the Soviet
Union, whose existence Khrush-
chev has now recognized. It
must be emphasized that this is
not the situation in other Corn-
munist countries, such as Po-
land, where Jews do enjoy the
positive rights of nationality,
such as emmigration to Israel
and the right of cultural organi-
zation and self-expression."
Dr. Goldmann expressed re-
gret over the fact that Stalin's
successors have so far done
nothing to make it possible for
the liquidated Jewish cultural
institutions in the Soviet Union
to revive, even though many
requests for this have been
made on the part of the Jewish
writers and poets that still
survive.
"There are still writers in
the Soviet Union producing
works in Yiddish, which they
cannot publish," he stated. "It is
also known that the Soviet gov-
ernment has before it applica-
tions to permit the revival of
the Jewish theater, the estab-
lishment of a newspaper and a
Jewish literary publication, as
well as the creation of a Jew-
ish publishing house. All these
applications have so far been
rejected."
