Final- ly, the resolution pledged the ZOA national and region- al apparatus to assist in the sale of Israeli products in the United States. Another resolution stressed that Zionism's basic tenets in- clude recognition of the legi- timate national interests and aspirations of all peoples in the Middle East, the Arabs no less than the Israelis and other non-Arab peoples, the ZOA de- clared. "We call upon our gov- ernment to contain imperial- ism, which foments aggression and subversion, serves as an instrument of Soviet domina- tion of the Middle East and menaces the legitimate nation- al aspirations and independ- ence of Middle Eastern coun- tries." Acting on a report of a commission, headed by Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan, which studied basic Zionist ideology and presented a sweeping pro- gram dealing with the future of the Zionist movement, the convention named a standing committee to be known as the Committee for Greater Zion- ism to carry out the implica- tions of the Kaplan unit's re- port. Members of the standing unit, though they will be com- mitted Zionists, will not neces- sarily be members of the ZOA. They will be selected by the ZOA president in consultation with the chairman of the com- mittee. Its functions would in- clude: 1. To study the report of the Kaplan commission and make changes and additions that are deemed necessary; 2. After final formulation of the aims and projected activi- ties of the future Zionist move- ment, the committee would seek to have other basic Zion- ist bodies adopt its recommen- dations in whole or in part. 3. Carry on an educational campaign to 'promote better understanding of the principles of "Greater Zionism." 4. Propose to the next World ionist Congress adoption of a platform for the Zionist move- ment in keeping with the aims of "Greater Zionism." Dr. Kaplan's report urged •the centrality of Israel to the survival of the Jewish people throughout the world, cau- tioned Zionists to develop Israe las a democratic com- monwealth with the fullest expression in all religious, cultural and socio-economic spheres and counselled the movement to encourage the fullest expression of Jewish cultural values in communi- ties outside Israel. Israel Ambassador A b b a Eban, addressing the delegates, said that "they key to Middle Eastern peace lies in Israel's swift . consolidation." He stress- ed that "thoughtful A r a b minds must now be awakened to Israel's manifest stability and to the uselessness of the policy based on non-recognition and antagonism." He stressed two trends which developed . since the turbulent summer days. The first, he said, was the tendency of the Middle Eastern governments to resist the encroachment of Nasserism upon their independ- ence and sovereignty. In a report of the activities of the Jewish National Fund, Mendel N. Fisher its executive director reported that the or- ganization's receipts for last year amounted to $2,595,000— an increase of $58,000 over the previous year. In addressing the 1,000 dele- gates at the opening session, Dr. Neumann made an appeal for friendship with the Arab nations, at the same time war- ning that "the comparative lull in the Middle East is like- ly to be broken at any moment by new and greater explosions as a result of Nasser's relent- less bid for empire." Dr. Nahum Goldman n, president of the World Zion- ist Organization, listed three key problems that- Israel must solve as 1. normaliza- tion of relations with the Arab world, 2. attaining a larger measure of economic independence and 3. achiev- ing more efective coopera- tion between Israel and Dia- spora Jewry. In another address, Dr. Leon H. Keyserling, former econ- omic aide to President Harry Truman, told delegates that "Israel, through its own efforts is furnishing an inspiring ex- ample to nations far greater in size and wealth." Other convention speakers were Dr. Elimelach Rimalt, member of the Israeli delega- tion to the United Nations; Judge Selig Schwartz, of Meri- dan, Conn,: and Gideon Strauss, U.S. representative of the Bank Leumi Le-Israel and president of the Israel Foreign Trade Credit Corp.
