Nasser Emerges With Lack of Trust by Arab New Anti-Semitic Book Published
States; Three-Point Program Aimed at Israel for 'General Public' in Soviet Union
LONDON (JTA) — The Arab
:summit conference of 13 kings and
other Arab heads of state, meeting
at Alexandria, was devoted almost
exclusively to the mapping of
plans for war against Israel, adopt-
ing a three-point Egyptian program
for anti-Israel conflict. Otherwise,
the conference showed more cracks
than adhesions in the Arab "united
front," dispatches from Egypt
stated.
The three-point program, formu-
lated by Egypt's President Gamal
'Abdel Nasser, embodies these ob-
jectives: 1. "Liberation of Pales-
tine from Israeli occupation;" 2.
Each Arab state should submit de-
tails of its ability to contribute to
the unified Arab military forces
for war against Israel; 3. The joint
command shquld submit a report
, on the costs involved in establish-
ing and maintaining the unified
forces.
In a meeting lasting only five,
minutes, held outside the con-
ference itself. five of the partici-
pating states pledged to contri-
bute a total of'30,000,000 pounds
sterling ($80,000,000), over a
period of five years, toward the
costs of the unified Arab com-
mand. The states are Saudi Ara-
bia, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco and
Yemen. The conference heard
the report of these pledges and
voted agreement with Nasser's
suggestion that each Arab League
State formulate a military plan
on the basis of the three-point
program.
The anti-Israel war plans were
considered by the conference of
utmost urgency on the theory that,
as soon as the Arab states begin
their project for diverting - the
headwaters and tributaries of th
Jordan River. Israel would open
offensive against bordering Arab
riparian states—Jordan, Syria and
I.ebanon.
The Times of London, noting the
division in the Arab camp and the
slow pace in the effort to establish
a unified Arab command, said: "If
the Arabs set the pace of their
technical work on the rivers (tri-
butary to the Jordan River) by the
pace of their military expansion,
the whole double process will
. move slowly for some time yet.
Before - it is finished, desalination
of sea water may have been ac-
celerated or some other develop-
ments may have changed the bal-
ance of needs and demands by the
riparian countries, including Is-
a
rael."
Actually, expert observers here
noted, the summit conference is
split in at least four different ways.
Syria has- openly accused Egypt of
having its controlled press "dis-
tort" the 'reports emanating from
the conference chamber, where the
sessions are presumably "secret::
Syria ', objected to a report in
Cairo's daily newspaper, Al Ahram,
which said that the conference ap-
plauded an anti-Syrian speech. Al
Ahram is known to be very close
to Nasser.
Syria, Jordan and Lebanon are
still holding back on agreement to
let the unified Arab command, con-
trolled by Egypt, station foreign
Arab troops on their soil. These
states were reported agreeing that
such troops may enter their terri-
tories in case of war with Israel,
but not when there is no such war,
yet they reneged even on such
limited steps, insisting that they
must approve the entry of foreign
Arab troops onto their soil even
in case of war.
Syria, Jordan and Lebanon
fear that, as soon as foreign
Arab troops are stationed in
their countries, Israel might
start a shooting war . against
them. They want the Jordan
River tributaries and headwaters
diverted, so as to injure Israel's
plans for withdrawing Jordan
River waters, through Lake Ti-
berias, to irrigate the Negev
Desert. But they don't want to
be attacked by Israel and be at

As for the unified Arab com-
Added to these difficulties is the
fact that, thus far, Saudi Arabia
and Egypt have not yet been able
to agree about the war between
royalist and so-called republicans
in Yemen. Nasser has 40,000 troops
in Yemen—and Saudi Arabia wants
those Egyptian forces withdrawn
before it pledges further coopera-
ion with Nasser.
Thus, Nasser has been forced
to back down from his ambitious
plan to form a unified Arab com-
mand to fight Israel.
Nasser, through Marshal Aly
Amer, an Egyptian who heads the
unified Arab command set up to
fight Israel, had insisted at the
Arab summit conference, now
being held in Alexandria by 13
heads of state, that the command
must have the right to bring Arab
troops into Arab countries adjacent
to Israel " in peace or war."
But the conference adopted a
resolution giving Amer the right to
move military forces from one
Arab country to another only "in
case of war."
Another resolution adopted by
the summit conference provides
that the combined Arab nations
represented agreed to spend up to
$14,000,000 annually to strengthen
the armed forces commanded by
Amer.
Mohamed H. E. Heykal, editor of
Al Abram, conceded that "the
conference had run into a little
trouble?
The main difficulty at the con-
ference was that Nasser faced a
dilemma. He must either denounce
his fellow Arab rulers who will not
accept his hegemony as "reaction-
ary," or he must announce some
kind of paper "agreement" which
would, in fact, show up his own
defeat at the conference.
mand set up by the Arab League
for war against Israel, there was
still more ambiguity about how it
would be organized, how it would
be financed, and when it might be
ready for an anti-Israeli war. The
summit meeting approved unani-
mously, in principle, the estab-
lishment of an army of Palestinians
"to liberate Palestine and take part
in the next round of the Arab
right against Israel." But one of
the major conference participants,
representing Syria, conceded when
asked when the "next round"
could start: "Only a man living in
a dream world or a fool would ask
for an immediate attack."

King of Morocco Sends
Anti-Israel Message
to Summit Conference
CASABLANCA, Morocco (JTA)
—King Hassan II sent a message
to the 13-nation summit conference
in Alexandria, pledging Morocco to
"any sacrifice needed" for the "lib-
eration of Palestine."
He declared in his message that
bringing back "justice" to the "le-
gitimate" population" of Palestine
was the most important problem
facing the "Arab nation." He ac-
cused "imperialists" and "Zionists"
of being the cause of the "awful
iniquity" of which the Palestinian
Arab refugees had been "the ob-
ject" for "16 years." He also in-
vited the Arab countries meeting
in Alexandria to fight the "Zionist
penetration" in Africa.

equates "rabbis and Zionists,"
charges that the Jewish religion
is "alien to the Soviet spirit," and
states that some Jews bake and sell
matzo for the sole purpose of
making large profits.
The book., entitled "Contempor-
my Judaism and Zionism," was
displayed here at a press confer-
ence held by Label A. Katz, presi-
dent of Bnai Brith.
Published last June by the State
Publishing House of the Moldavian
SSR, at Kishinev, the work shows
that its author is F. S. Mayatsky.
Experts on Soviet affairs have
identified Mayatsky as a well-
known Communist propagandist
specializing in anti-Jewish writings.
Mayatsky's book, selling for only
11 kopecks (12 cents) and frankly
"intended for the general reading
public," was issued at the very
time that leaders of the Soviet
Communist Party announced - an
official ban on a previously issued
anti-Semitic work, "Judaism With-
out Embellishment," published by
the Academy of Science in Kiev.
"Contemporary Judaism and
Zionism," said Katz in showing the
book and an accompanying trans-
lation into English, "is the latest
known official Soviet work of
anti-Semitic nature, and is a shock-
ing example of the uninterrupted
series of anti-Jewish publications
that bear official imprimatur. It is
designed to hasten further the sup-
pression of Soviet Jewish life."

Swastikas in Cemetery
MONTREAL (JTA) — The Cana-

met with local police for an in-
vestigation .and action on the
smearings.
Hebrew Corner
Pioneers
The "Hibath Zion" movement was
instigated by the pogroms of 1881 in
Eastern Europe. This movement sent
thousands of people to Israel. The
two waves of immigrants that came
during the years 1822-24 and 1890-91
are called the "First Immigration."
The first wave was aroused by the
"Bilu" people—their name was de-
rived from the first letters of the
sentence (Isaiah 2,5) "Beth Yaakov go
and we will go." They strove to lay a
foundation for our nation in the Land
of Israel. These first corners came with
great enthusiasm and little agricultural
knowledge. In the year of 1882 they
laid the foundations to the settlements
of Rishon Le Zion, Zichron Yaakov and
Rosh Pina.
These young settlements were doomed
to extinction on account of lack or
experience in farming. the meager means
at their disposal, attacks by neighbors
and opposition of the Turkish Govern-
ment.
Baron
De
Rothschild helped with
large sums of money. For this he was
named •Father of the Yishuv'."
Ten years after the First Immigra-
tion" came the "Second Immigration"
upon the expulsion of the Jews from
Moscow in 1891. Thousands of Jews
came. amongst them many workers. It
was then that the large coloni e s of
Rehovoth and Hadera were established.
There was an educational and spir-
itual difference between the two "Im-
migrations," however both were idealis-
tic and were pioneers that feared no
from difficulties.
Their enterprise is not yet com-
pleted—even after six years of the
new State of Israel the project of
settling the land is going strong.
