France Ready to Return Money
for Embargoed J ets, Aide Hints
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
PARIS—France's defense mini-
ster, Pierre Messmer, hinted Tues-
day that Israel can have its money
back any time for the 50 Mirage
V jet fighter bombers embargoed
by President Charles de Gaulle.
Messmer referred to the aircraft
during a reception given him Tues-
day by the Foreign Press Associ-
ation. He said they were stored in
hangars and that "There was no
question of selling them to any-
body else, unless the Israel gov-
ernment prefers to be reimbursed."
Israel has reportedly paid in full
for the planes which were ordered
well before the June 1967 Six-Day
War. But the de Gaulle govern.
ment refused to permit delivery
on the grounds that France would
not supply arms to any of the com-
batants in the war. Gen. de Gaulle
extended the embargo to include
spare parts for the planes after the
Israelis' raid on Beirut Airport.
A spokesman for the defense
ministry said that Israel has never
asked for reimbursement and pre-
dicted that such a request would
be acted on speedily.
Meanwhile, a suggestion that
French Jews maintain dual al-
legiance—to Israel as well as to
France—has further inflamed a
debate within Gaullist ranks
over President Charles de
Gaulle's embargo of military
equipment and spare parts to Is-
rael.
Many
prominent Frenchmen,
Jewish and non-Jewish, are ex-
tremely critical of the embarg. and
have accused the government .f re-
neging on its contractual obliga-
tions. A Gaullist deputy, aurice
Lecombe, writing in th Gaullist
newspaper La Nation Tu sday, de-
nounced- such eriticism a .c1 hinted
that Frenchmen of Jet ish faith
were prepared to betray their loy-
alty to France and Gen de Gaulle
in the interests of Israel. LeCombe
called on French Jews "to remain
loyal to their country."
Another Gaullist deputy, Claude
Gerard Marcus, took sharp issue
with this criticism. In a statement
published Tuesday, he maintained
that Frenchmen of Jewish faith
rael and opposed the embargo were.
upholding the interests of France.
"Are Frenchmen to be allowed to
take an interest in Vietnam or Bia-
fra but forbidden to show the came
awareness of the problem where
Israel is concerned?" Marcus ask-
ed.
