By the Oak-Woodser
One of the curious stereo-
types used by professional big-
ots is that of the meek, passive
Jew—the individual who always
stays in the background while
others do the jobs he master-
minds.
Yet, even at a glance, one
could not be beguiled into be-
lieving such an outright fiction.
Today, as in -all generations,
Jews are in the forefront to do
battle against all manifesta-
tions of injustice.

JERUSALEM — Israel prod-

on all continents during 1959,
a year which was also marked
by an - increase of 70,000,000 in
Israel exports, it was announced
Tuesday.
Imports dropped from 380 to
375 pounds per capita. The drop
in imports and increase in ex-
ports cut Israel's trade deficit
by 12 percent in 1959, compared
with 1958.
The United Kingdom re-
mained Israel's best customer,
purchasing more than 60,000,-
000 pounds worth of Israeli
products during the year.
The United States was a close
second, with purchases of 40,-
000,000 pounds. American im-
ports from Israel were 15,000,-
000 pounds higher than in 1958.

17,000,000 pounds each, Turkey,
with 16,000,000 pounds and the
Netherlands, with 14,000,000
pounds, were next in that order.
Israel's main suppliers dui--
in 1959 were the United States,
West Germany, Britain, France,
the Netherlands and Switzer-
land. These countries account-
ed for two-thirds of Israel's im-
