Clear Danger of Nazism Revival Seen in Study by UN Subcommission
THE JEWISH NEWS
UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — A
study of the danger of a revival of
Nazism and measures to combat
is among the topics being consider-
ed by the Subcommission on Pre-
vention of Discrimination and Pro-
tection of Minorities.
According to a background re-
port prepared by Hernan Santa
Cruz of Chile, the subcommission's
special rapporteur, "There is a
clear danger of a revival, or a
development of new forms, of Naz-
ism."
The report warns that in the
light of the "dazzling speed" with
which Nazism developed in Ger-
many, manifestations now of these
tendencies "however insignificant
they may' appear, cannot be over-
looked or ignored, since under fav-
orable circumstances" like those in
Germany prior to the seizure of
power by the Nazis, "small nuclei
can become dangerous and indeed
irresistable forces."
The report warned that "Ves-
tiges of Nazism and racial intol-
erance persist in some parts of
the world." Santa Cruz referred
specifically to charges made by
government or nongovernmental
organizations in consultative sta-
tus concerning the dangers of
revival of Nazism in the Federal
Republic of Germany and South
Africa.
The report, which was prepared
for submission to the Human
Rights Commission, which opened
its 23rd session Monday, recom-
mends that the General Assembly
should resume, as soon as possible,
"it's study of the question . . .
with a view to the preparation of
effective measures to eliminate
possibility of a revival of Naz-
ism," and also recommends that
the General Assembly "increase
public awareness of the danger
of a revival of Nazism and racial
intolerance, especially among
young people, by the preparation

Rational People Never Reject Peace
In the coming months — the negotiations
could last several years — the world will be
witnessing a most interesting drama: the bat-
tle for rationalism and for applicability of
plain horse sense to international affairs.
For .Jews everywhere it will be an espe-
cially valuable experience. with new dimen-
sions in spite of the historic agonies our peo-
ple has gone through in the search for peace
with our neighbors—the lands where our
ancestors have lived and those from which
they have been banished and the countries
where freedom never ceases to travel through
miseries as well as hopes for the humane and
the milennially miraculous.
Paths are being paved for peace. and in
the process there will be a testing of many
elements. There is the Israel factor that keeps
pleading for amity with relatives (kinsmen
like the Arab cousins). friends (like the United
States) and neighbors ( like the Arabs) who arc
primarily involved in negotiations for peace.
Israel is firm in asking for protection.
Able to protect herself. in the interest of
peace — and it is the peace of the world as
much as that of the Middle East—she needs
assurances that some crazy guy won't get into
her back yard with dynamite, poison, threats
to life and limb.
There is the Arab factor. There are. al-
ready. some 15 or 16 established Arab poten-
tates. some greatly enriched by oil. all of
them collectively possessing vast areas of land
into which they pack a hundred times the
entire populations of Moslem countries.
They haven't always been satisfied. They
wanted another country to be called Pales-
tine.
If there is to be peace, there will have to
be recognition of a reality: Israel.
Territorially-wise, this is where the world
powers come in. If there is to be justice in
the world. as a preliminary to peace. the real-
ity of Israel's existence will be undeniable.
and on that score guerrillas. whether they are
in Jordan or Lebanon or Iraq—anywhere:-
will be squelched. If the Arab nations them-
selves will be too weak to attain such a goal,
it will become the responsibility of the world
powers.
This premise does not eliminate the Arabs
as a responsible element to themselves. And
it is on that score that rational people every-
where, especially in the Islamic spheres. must
convince the nations that have until now
played the roles of Israel's enemies that they
are primarily their own enemies.
While a war has been in progress, Israel
prospered. Instead of ignoring a major prob-
lem involving refugees Israel welcomed them,
established habitations for them, gave them !
jobs. taught their children, granted them citi-
zenship in a land they can call their own—
thus ending the homelessness that has been
the curse of the Jewish people.
In that little land the Israelis have created
attractions that have turned Eretz Israel—
the Holy Land—into one of the world's major
tourist attractions. Some 120.000 tourists,
from lands representing all faiths, will have
visited Israel during the mop the of f J I and
August. Included in that number will have
been 30.000 young people. For the year 1970,
it is expected that a total of 450.000
will be chalked up.

Honorable People Never Nourish Hate
There is one important matter: the hu-
man relations between Jews and their Arab
cousins.
It has been stated time and time again
that what has saddened Israelis most is the
enmity that has been created between Arabs
and Israelis. that the tragic losses incurred
in an unnecessary war. have inspired resent-
ments bordering on hatred. This has been the
fruit of a conflict between cousins that need
never have consummated into reality.
What are the facts relating_ to Arab-Jew-
ish relations? There have been periods of
antagonism between Jews and Moslems. Mo-
hammed himself based his faith on teachings
of the Bible, and he had hoped for Jewish
support and for enlistment of Jews in his
ranks of a new religion. When they demurred,
he attacked and massacred some villages,
and he became their enemy. But that was
not the historic result: through the ages
Jews and Arabs were friends and they la-
bored together in medicine and in astron-
omy and in mathematics.
In Eretz Israel it was even more real,
stronger, more emphatic. In the Palestine
before the emergence of Israel, Dayan and
Allon and Golda Meir and scores upon scores
0
of others had established strong friendships
with their Arab neighbors, with the sheikhs
of villages.
Hadassah healed the wounds of Arabs
and treated them for trachoma; just as Ha-
dassah and Jewish physicians to this very
day, in the ancient Jewish homeland, are pro-
viding the necessary help for the sick of all
faiths, treating Arabs as equals.
In Israel proper, the Arab citizens have
equality in labor ranks, as earners of wages
on a par with Jews, as members of Histadrut,
as the beneficiaries of the standards estab-
lished in educational ranks.
True: there are always those who express
their views in hatred. There must have been
—perhaps there still are—Jews who hate
Arabs because they fought Jews.
But we refuse to concede that the Jewish
attitude is that of hatred, that the view of
Arabism and Islam in our ranks is that of
bitterness and vengeance.
What we say is based on Jewish teach-
ings, on the traditional insistence upon jus-
tice for all peoples. We resent racism in this
land and we decry any display of hatred in
Jewish ranks anywhere, primarily in the
Land of Israel and in the Middle East.
Peres to Address
Zionist Conclave
Each of the introductions to the various sections provides data
about the background of the legends. The work emerges definitively
as an impressive course of study into ethical teachings and a people's
historic experiences.
In many respects, in addition to the parable, the reader has access
here to history and to the many eras of Jewish life under a variety of
conditions.
Selections from the Apocrypha and Josephus, from folklore of many
ages, are in evidence here as preserving the wealth of Jewish folktales.
"A Portion in Paradise," the title of the first story, serves as title for
the entire book whose merits serve to commend Bnai Brith for its
Heritage Series published jointly by the Norton Co. and the Bnai
Brith Commission on Adult Jewish Education.
James Parkes' Anti-Semitism'
Hospital Room Named
for Girl Killed in Crash
James Parkes' "Anti-Semitism," reissued by Quadrangle Books as
a paperback, contains the noted philo-Semite's views on the tragedies
that affected Jewry and world events, especially in the past century.
Christian roots of anti-Semitism are exposed, and the eminent
author shows how the notoriously fallacious Protocols of the Elders of
Zion spread from Russia throughout the world, receiving acclaim from
the vilest bigots.
The volume is brought up to date with outlines of anti-Semitism in
Russia, the latest developments in the Middle East and especially
appended data that serves meritoriously in providing background and
understanding of the issues involved in the curse of hatred toward the
Jew.

mon Peres, leading Israeli author-
ity on Israel arms needs and stra-
tegic problems, will be one of the
main speakers at the 73rd national
ZOA convention opening Sept. 3,
at the Waldorf Astoria.
Peres, who arrived in Buenos
Aires Aug. 6, held a press con-
ference stating that Israel's task
presently consists in containing
Soviet penetration in the Mid East
and putting a final stop to the pro-
Arab military threat, especially
Egypt's. He said a cease fire
should include all forces including
United States and Soviet forces.
Asked how Arabs in the occupied
territories cooperate with Israeli
authorities, Peres said that on the
practical level there exists collabo-
ration but not on a political: level.

and dissemination of information
on this subject, by participation
in ceremonies commemorating the
victims of Nazism and similar
ideologies and practices based on
terror and racial intolerance."
The report of the Human Rights'
subcommission also urges the Gen-
eral Assembly to invite all states
to review and strengthen their
legal measures to eradicate "for
all time" the danger of a revival
of Nazism and racial intolerance;
to take measures designed to "en-
sure the speedy disbandment and
disappearance" of such organiza-
tions that foster and incite racial
discrimination; and to recommend
the expansion and strengthening
the activities of the United Nations
bodies to cooperate in the obser-
vance next year of the Inter-
national Year for Action to Com-
bat Racism and Racial Discrimina-
tion.
The study, which focused on
reports that a large number of
former Nazis are active in high-
echelon positions and in respon-
sible public offices in the Fed-
eral Republic of Germany, cited
statistics provided by the Polish
government to that effect and
statistics of former Nazis active
in the East German govern-
ment provided by Simon Wies-
enthal, the head of the Docu-
mentation Center of Jewish
Victims in Vienna.
The study carries a lengthy
reply by the West German gov-
ernment repudiating eiarges by
the Polish government.
The Polish government included
charges that the National Demo-
cratic Party (NPD) "leaves its
imprint of neo-Nazism and pan-
German chauvinism on West Ger-
man politics and public opinion";
that there are "20 ex-Nazis among
