Conservative government. told the
annual luncheon of the Anglo-Is-
rael Chamber of Commerce.
Reporting on a visit to Israel he
made while still in office. Lord
Drumbalyn said Israel was rapid-
. ly turning into a modern indus-
trial state with an annual indus-
trial rate of growth of 15 per cent.
"a figure to excite British envy.**
He said Israel was buying from
Britain annually 21.700,000 pounds
($60,760,000) worth of rough dia-
monds and reselling to Britain
polished diamonds for some 3,000.-
000 pounds ($8,400,000) annually.
In addition, he said, Britain
sold to Israel in 1963 products
worth 23,000,000 pounds ($64,000,-
000). That total had already been
exceeded this year. He noted that.
Israeli sales to Britain had fallen
slightly between 1961 and 1963 to
17,600,000 pounds ($49,280,000)
and added that British exporters
had been given an opportunity,
with the forthcoming end of West
German reparations payments in
products to Israel, to increasing
their sales to Israel. He warned
that the competition was severe.
Discussing the Arab boycott of
Israel, he said it had been the
policy of the British government-1
"and I have no reason to suppose
the present government takes a
different view"—that it was not
' the business of the government to
advise individual firms on how to
react to the boycott. He said that
it was for the blacklisted firms "to
decide what to do about it. -
