Rodgers Wright, foreign minister
of Sierra Leone, said his govern-
ment would oppose any attempt to
raise the question of the Israel-
Arab dispute at the forthcoming
conference of Afro-Asian nations to
be held in Algiers.
Wright, who concluded a state
visit to Israel Monday said that
Sierra Leone does not consider the
Algiers conference the proper for-
tun for the airing of the Israel-
Arab dispute.
The visitor also promised his
country's support for Israel's claim
to membership in the "Group of
77" developing countries within the
United. Nations. The Arab states
oppose Israel's inclusion in the
group, which is considered an im-
portant step in Israel's struggle for
political recognition as an Asian
country.
Wright left for the United Na-
tions where he will head his coun-
try's delegation to the General
Assembly.

Israel's chemical and mineral industries have received a major
boost with Israel Bond investments. Here we see the conveyor belt
at the new potash plant in S'dom under construction. Potash
production capacity will be increased from 180,000 tons to 600,000
tons a year by the new plant. Israel Bond dollars have also been

prochements have been taken."
In a sense, this is an excellent
Christian defense. While the emi-
nent Catholic priest reviews the
history of anti-Semitism with con-
siderable skill, he does often gloss
over basic Christian sins. By
equating them with some Jewish
faults, he does not assure exonera-
tion. Some of the faults, the com-
plicity, is the result of the Chris-
tian root of anti-Semitism.
Thus "The Anguish of the Jews"
is in large measure Christological.
But it is a most sympathetic, seri-
ous and thorough study.
