Russell then commented that it was regrettable that after more than 15 years after the dispute there should be so many refugees in the Middle East and asked "Is it not entirely due to the prejudice among Arab countries and their stirring up propaganda against Israel?" The Under Secretary replied that "I am in agreement with has been besieged for three what you say" and added that years with a dangerous wave of the British Government was doing "everything it could" to anti-Semitism.

The Afro-Asion bloc, formed at the United Nations in New York in 1955, was dominated for years by the anti - Israeli Arab states. Only in the last three or four years, since many new African states were admit- ted, have Africans take over leadership of that bloc. Now, for the first time, Israel has become a full-fledged member of the bloc, with equal rights. The conference, is considered of extreme importance by Israel, which has been very active in extending technical as- sitance and other aid to the underdeveloped lands in Africa and Asia. Members of the Arab bloc, encouraged by the fact that an Egyptian, Abdel Monemel-Kais souny, was elected president of the parley, were trying hard here to day to dislodge Israel from its membership in the bloc, which consists of 62 na- tions. However, Ambassador Moshe Bartur, Israel's perman- ent representative here, was fighting the behind - the - scene move. Meanwhile, Israel's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Pinhas Sapir, arrived here to head Is- rael's large delegation as chair- man of the group. He addressed a plenary session of the confer- ence Thursday, when he outlined Israel's policies regarding world organization of trade for the benefit of underdeveloped lands.
