Fulbriaht Steers Tourists From Egypt JPs Honors Dr. Salo Baron's 70th Birthday
WASHINGTON (JTA)—American tourists should visit Florida or
California instead of Egypt, chairman J. W. Fu'bright of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said in a Senate speech on the balance
of payments deficit.
"They will find they can do it for half the price, without insults
or shakedowns, and perform a real service to this country," he added.

South African Zionists Call
for 'Wall-to-Wall' Executive
In honor of the '70th anniver-
sary of Prof. Salo W. Baron, the
J e w i s h Publication Society of
America has issued an impressive
collection of his
essays and ad-
dresses un der
the title "History
and Jewish His-
torians."
This most im-
pressive work
was compiled by
.two noted schol-
ars, Drs. Arthur
Hertzberg a n d
Dr. Baron
Leon A. Feld-
man. Their choice of 13 essays
indicates a deep appreciation of
the eminent historian's labors. As
former students of Prof. Baron,
Drs. Hertzberg and Feldman pay
him honor. In their foreword they
show how their teacher
"affirms the importance for
Jewish history both of Zion and
of the Jewish communities out-
side the homeland, and he passes
no judgment on the merit of
one as over against the other.
In its totality, the international
people, retaining its spiritual
and communal identity in chang-
ing ages and places, is the har-
binger of the human future,
when all identities will be his-
torical rather than geographi-
cal."
"To work in the manner of
Baron," the compilers of his es-
says state, "one must be a first-
class general historian, who is able
to write in an original way, as
Baron has . . ."
'
but his Jewish descent and cul-
tural conformity, superimposed
upon his Israeli citizenship, will
be the decisive criterion. In the
Soviet Union, he will still be
considered a Jew primarily by
nationality."
Dr. Baron's view is that we may
have to abandon, for a long time,
"the quest for an all-inclusive ob-
jective formula" on who is a Jew,
and he reaches this conclusion:
"As a permanent minority out-
side of Israel, we are insisting
upon the right of Jews and other
minorities freely • to pursue their
own religious and cultural aims
in a pluralistic society. We shall
similarly have to le a r n to get
along with much cultural plural-
ism in our own midst. I for one
am prepared, therefore, to recog-
nize, even for practical purposes,
everyone as a Jew who (1) is born
of Jewish parents and who has not
been converted to another faith;
(2) is born of mixed parentage
but declares himself a Jew and is
so considered by the majority of
his neighbors; and (3) one who by
conscious will has adopted Juda-
ism and joined the membership
of the Jewish community. In the
ultimate sense, it is thus the sub-
jective decision of the individual
concerned and the equally sub-
jective opinion of his neighbors
which is almost as important as
the objective facts of descent and
religious commitment."
The interpretive essays on his-
tory provide material for study,
aid those who are engaged in re-
search of Jewish issues and add
immeasurably to the much-needed

Dr. Baron's noteworthy essay on
"Who Is a Jew?" This section
deals with dimensions of Jewish
history, emphases on history and
modern capitalism and Jewish
fate. But it is the interpretation
of the Jew's identity that stands
out as an appropriate introduc-
tion to the entire volume, giving
the reader impetus to study the
entire work more fervently.

LONDON (JTA) — President
Habib Bourghiba of Tunisia made
a statement in the old city of Jeru-
salem, on the Jordanian side, in-
terpreted by some Arab circles as
asking for "moderation and reason
in dealing with the Jew," accord-
ing to a Beirut dispatch received
here.
Bourghiba came to Beirut for a
visit to Lebanon, after touring
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan,
and is going from Lebanon to Iran
and Iraq.
"We have not persecuted the
Jews, and we can still cooperate
with them on the basis of mutual
respect," the Arab press reported
President Bourghiba as saying.
Some of the Arab newspapermen
attending the Jerusalem press con-
ference where he made that state-
ment interpreted his remarks as
applying to Israel politically.
The pro-Nasser Beirut news-
paper, Al Anwar, declared Mon-
day: "We know his credo is mod-
eration and the principle of 'take
what is offered you and ask for
more later.' It would seem that
his statement yesterday derived
from this principle, which can ap-
ply to all questions except Pales-
tine."
