Role in Israel Outlined in Report
by American Jewish Committee
NEW YORK (JTA)—An exten-
sive report on the American
Jewish Committee's relations with
and work on behalf of the Pales-
tinian Jewish settlement prior to
1948, and on behalf of Israel since
the Jewish State was reborn in
1948, was issued here.
Starting with the period of
Turkish rule in Palestine, the 72-
page report shows that the late
Louis Marshall, then president of
the American Jewish Committee,
protested to the U. S. Department
of State, calling for effective
action against some Turkish dis-
criminations against Jews in
Palestine. The report notes that,
in 1913, Turkey abolished certain
restrictions previously invoked
against American and other for-
eign Jews in Palestine.
One chapter of the report
recalls that the AJC pledged,
after the Balfour Declaration
was issued in 1917, "to cooper-
ate with those who, attracted by
religious or historic associations,
shall seek to establish in Pales-
tine a center for Judaism, for
the stimulation of our faith, for
the pursuit and development of
literature, science and art in a
Jewish environment, and for the
rehabilitation of the land."
The report also recalls that the
AJC's former president, Jacob
Blaustein, and Israel's former
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion
issued joint statements in 1950
and in 1981, clarifying the rela-
tionship of Isratel toward Jews in
the United States and in the rest
of the world.
This policy was reaffirmed in
1963 in a letter to Blaustein from
the present Israeli prime minister,
Levi Eshkol.
World Zionist Movement
to Eye Jewish Problems
in Both Diaspora, Israel
NEW YORK (JTA) — "The
problem of the trend toward
assimilation, which is troubling
Jews of both Israel and the
Diaspora, has made necessary a
reorientation of the thinking of
the World Zionist movement."
Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, chairman
of the American section of the
Jewish Agency, declared this upon
her return from Israel, where she
attended a plenary session of the
Jewish Agency executive.
"This was the major problem on
our minds," said Mrs. Halprin, "as
we worked on the agenda for the
26th World Zionist Congress,
which will be held in Jerusalem
in December. The problems
facing the Jews of the Diaspora
and the Jews of Israel are so
closely related that we cannot try
to seek solutions for the Diaspora
Jews without considering the prob-
lems of Israeli Jews. Nor can
Israel concern itself with prob-
lems of its own Jewry without an
awareness of the problems of Jews
elsewhere throughout the world."
Mrs. Halprin reported that the
plenary session of the Jewish
Agency executive had settled the
question of the allocation of
special funds for use by General
Zionists in their constructive pro-
grams in Israel. These funds are
used to supplement and fortify the
programs of the Jewish Agency in
youth villages, in agricultural
settlements and in the absorption
of newcomers.
The funds will be divided
equally between the World Con-
federation of General Zionists,
headed by Dr. Israel Goldstein and
Mrs. Halprin; and the World
Union of General Zionists, headed
by Dr. Emanuel Neumann.

Israel's fair-treatment policy in
its absorption of over a million
dark-skinned Jewish immigrants
from the Moslem countries has
set an example of integration that
might well be followed in the
