the province's centralized pur-
chasing bureau.

the Queen's Cameron Highland-
ers in World War II as a pri-
vate, finishing as a lieutenant
colonel in the Ordinance Corps.

He has been president and di-
rector of a wide variety of busi-
ness firms and a governor of
the Winnipeg YMHA and Win-
nipeg General Hospital. He has
served as Manitoba chairman of
Israel Bonds and Bar-Ilan Uni-
versity. He has been a co-chair-
man of the United Jewish Ap-
peal. His father, Max Stein-
kopf, came to Canada in 1889
and was the first Jewish at-
torney in Western Canada.

CASABLANCA, (JTA)—A Jew-
ish candidate who was defeated
in Morocco's recent parliament-
ary elections appealed to the Su-
preme Moroccan Constitutional
Chamber to determine the valid-
ity of the election of another
Jewish candidate.
Meyer Toledano, the loser,
charged that Meyer Obadiah, the
winner, used the resources of
the Casablanca Jewish Commit-
tee, of which the latter is presi-
dent, in the election campaign.
Toledano charged that Obadiah
used propaganda in synagogues
and his authority in the Jewish
committee. The Constitutional
chamber will consider the ap-
peal but it was not expected that
Obadiah's election would be
voided,

William F. Albright, Dr. W.

can, British, French and other
diplomats and many promi-
nent Zionist leaders.
A debate that will un-
doubtedly attract widest inter-
est is contained in two of the
book's essays, Dr. Martin Buber's
"Israel's Mission and Zion" in
which he differs with Israel's
Prime Minister, and David
Ben-Gurion's reply, "Zionism
ism and Pseudo-Zionism."
Adding status to the over-all
discussions in this book is the
declaration "Z i o n i s m Must
Never Die" by Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver.
The fact that the participants
in this symposium include men
like Robert St. John, Moshe
Sharett, Abba Eban, Cecil Roth,
Waldo Frank, Herman Wouk,
and others of their stature, pro-
vides an inkling of the signifi-
cance of a collection of essays
in which are discussed all
phases of Israel's development,
existence and outlook for the
future.
Adding to the merits of
"The Mission of Israel" are
the many illustrations and
especially the reproduction of
Israeli art by noted painters,
some of them in color.
Jacob Baal - Teshiva, the
author, is a native of Jerusalem
who served in the Haganah at
