Support for Israel
Based on Own Interest
Mizrachi Group Told

U.S.

CHICAGO (JTA) — An Israeli
diplomat said here that United
States support for Israel is based
on "a sober estimate of America's
interests." Arthur Lourie, ambas- '
sador-at-large and a member of
the Israeli delegation to the United
Nations, spoke at the opening of
the 44th annual national conven-
tion of Mizraclu Women's Organi-
zation of America.
The Mizrachi Women received
messages of greetings from Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon and Prem-
ier Golda Meir of Israel.

Lourie had high praise for
former President Lyndon R.
Johnson, who supported Israel
during and after the 1967 war,
and for President Richard M.
Nixon who, he said, "reflected
all shades of American opinion
in the magnificent reception ac-
corded Prime Minister Golda
Meir in her visit to this coun-
try."

Ambassador Lourie observed

that 'If the Phantom aircraft

promised by President Johnson
are being delivered by President
Nixon, the basic reason is that
it is an American and not merely
an Israeli interest t hat Israel
should be strong enough to deter
aggression. And if the U.S. has

remained steadfast in

rejecting

the pressures of the Arab coun-
tries and the Soviets for a with-
drawal of Israel from the cease-
firetlirrf and a return to the status
quo, it is because the U.S. is

be as short-sighted from the Amer-
ican point of view as it would be
disastrous to any hope for peace
in the Middle East."
