7 7-, • • German Material Restitution Not Enough, Says Goldmann, (Continued from Page 8) note of Germany's growing im- portance is a most unrealistic attitude, based on pure emotion- alism. "The purpose of the discussion in Brussels, in which prominent German and Jewish leaders will participate, is to analyze the complexity and the difficulties of the problem, and to make the German people aware that merely material restitution can- not solve the question, and that they must continue to make seri- ous efforts to avoid any resift.. gene of neo-Nazi or anti-Semi- tic tendencies and to eradicate old traditions of racial discrim- ination and anti-Jewish preju- dices. • ."The frank discussion of the problem by eminent Jewish and German personalities will indicate the importance of this question which will, for quite some time, remain on the agenda of the Jew-: ish and the German peoples and C- may contribute to its clarification and to a gradual constructive solu- tion." Participants in the German sym- posium will be, in addition to Dr. Gerstenmaier, also Professor Golo Mann, Kilchberg-Zurich; Professor Salo Baron, New York; and Pro- fessor Gershon Sholem of Jeru- saleni. Protests to Soviet on -Treatment of Jews Brings Concessions BRUSSELS (JTA)—Jewish corn- ,plaints against the mistreatment of Soviet Jewry have resulted in minor concessions by the Moscow authorities in regard to the posi- tion of the Jews in the Soviet 'Union, the World Jewish Congress 'plenary assembly was told here. That assertion was made by Alex L. Easterman, of London, di- :rector of the WJC department of international affairs. "Soviet au- .thorities," he said, "have been de- •inying indignantly any official or 'semi-official bias of action against Soviet Jews. Nevertheless, the truth of our complaints and the 'validity of our protests regarding Soviet Jews have been proven by ,the fact that minor concessions were made lately, and minor im- 'provements have occurred in the situation of Russian -Jewry." These concessions "touch only the fringe of the problem," Easter- :man stressed. He reported that the WJC has constantly pointed out to Soviet representatives that "a gen- uine change in the situation of Soviet Jewry would earn the ap- plause of not only the Jews around the world but of non-Jews as , The Congress made public a let- ter addressed to the WJC presi- dent, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, from the Council of Jewish Communities of Czechoslovakia, which had been invited to send representatives to the plenary assembly. While not- ing that the • Council would not send anyone to attend the parley, the letter said: "This certainly does not mean that our attitude toward the World World Book Lore Jewish Congress is negative. We are, and want to be still more, in permanent contact with Jewish or- ganizations, particularly the World Jewish Congress. We presume that our absence will not be interpreted as our disinterestedness. We would welcome personal contact between the representatives of your organi- zation and ours, both in this coun- try and abroad." The letter was signed by Fran- tisek Fuchs, acting president of the Council. Added was a separate letter joining with the first the same sentiments from the Jewish communities in Slovakia. * * * Hungarian Leaders Offer Glowing Report of Community Life (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish- News) Pamphlet Shows Arab Leanings Towards Communism Israel's political patterns emerge in a most interesting light in the pamphlet "The Israeli Communist Party and the Elections• for the Fifth Knesset," by Moshe M. Czud- nowsid. and Jacob M. Lancia% pub- lished by Hoover Institution Stud- ies of Stanford University, Stan- ford, Calif. The two authors, who are mem- bers of the Hebrew University po- litical science department, have made a thorough study of Arab and Jewish membership in MAQI — as the Israel Communist Party is known from the initials of the party's Hebrew name, Miflaga qomunistit Israe'elit. Describing the party's structure, its social and economic as well as foreign aims, the authors explain in advance that the party failed to penetrate the Palestine Jewish community "because of the latter's longing to realize the Zionist ideal." They state that a few so- cialist extremists who could not bridge Communist-Zionist contra- dictions settled in the Soviet Un- ion. sponse, concentrated activities among Arabs. Leadership in the party nevertheless remained Jewish and extreme anti-Zionist slogans were employed to at- tract Arabs. ing and abetting their feelings and hopes, and tend to ignore the so- alai and economic doctrines of Communism.

MAQI remains the party second in strength among Arabs in Israel.
