NEW YORK (JTA)—A Jewish
university or institution in this
country or abroad may eventually
receive a world-famous "Pax Mum
di' collection of 1,025 autographs
on the subject of world peace,
Joseph Schlang, noted collector
and philanthropist, said Tuesday.
Schiang acquired the collection
at auction Monday for $18,500. He
plans to give the collection, in-
sured at $250,000, wide public ex-
posure through exhibition in mus-
eums, universities and other insti-
tutions and by publication of some
of the documents in magazines
and newspapers.
After that, he said, he would
present the collection, assembled
from 1925-1932 by the World
League for Peace, to the United
Nations, the United States, an
institution such as the Harry S.
Truman Center for the Advance-
ment of Peace at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem, or a
Jewish institution in this coun-
try where the documents could
be .applied to a study on means
,of establishing world peace.
One of the documents is the
statement by Albert Einstein that
"no human being has the moral
right to call himself a Christian
or• a Jew if he is prepared to sys-
tematically murder on the orders
of any superior authority, or to
allow himself in any way to be
misused in the preparations for or
service of such an undertaking."

THAT MAGNET/C IMPOSTOR - - -
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Interior
Minister Moshe Shapiro has or-
dered stringent economies in mu-
nicipal services, declaring that
there would be no new services
nor expansion of existing services.
He warned that towns which did
not comply would not be permitted
to raise their rates to meet cuts in
government subsidies to municipal-
ities.
The Israel government will give
preferential treatment, hereafter,
only to industries that have a rea-
sonable opportunity of developing
large-scale exoorts, Minister of
Commerce Haim Zadok announced.
He identified the steps the new
cabinet intends to take to close the
trade gap between Israeli imports
and Israeli exports.
The principal criteria for fu-
ture assistance, he said, will be
to industrial production based on
raw materials that can be prof-
itably exploited; a high degree
of know-how; industries that em-
phasize competition in quality
rather than comnetition in
prices; and products not overly
protected in foreign countries
for which there is a rising de-
mand.
"Only those industries which,
after a thorough examination,
prove themselves able to stand up
against foreign competition and
which have a reasonable oppor-
tunity of developing large-scale ex-
ports," he stated, "will be entitled
to preferential treatment which
the government intends to channel
through every means of its dis-
posal."

JNF BLUE BOX
The JNF Blue Box is so much more
than a fund raising medium. It consti-
tutes our tangible link with the soil of
Israel and is a living connection with
the early days of Zionist history. It was
on the last day of the memorable Fifth
Zionist Congress on December 29, 1901,
in Basle, that Theodor Herzl first asked
for contributions towards the Jewish
National Fund, himself placing the first
coin from his own pocket into his hat.
From then onward the idea expanded
to embrace the whole of. Jewry, with
the first Blue Box -manufactured in
Vienna in 1902.
In these days of massive direct ap-
peals, isn't the Blue Box as a fund
raising medium out-dated? No, the Blue
Box is the method best suited for dona-
tions by the masses embracing every
member of the family young and old,
and should become an automatic act in
the preservation of the Jewish national
idea, a vivid educational means of re-
minding our children of their history
and destiny.
How wonderful to think that in all
the strains of Jewish history during 64
years, the little collecting box of the
Jewish National Fund is as alive today
as ever it has been!
The Blue Box links every home which
it praces with Israel, and fits into the
pattern of Jewish life everywhere, for
it affords everyone the opportunity to
add his or her contribution to the Jew-
ish National Fund.
