THE "JEWISH VOTE": Various surveys during the last years
have established that the majority of Jews in this country regard them-
selves as political independents. They generally resist voting "Jewish-
ly." The "Jewish vote" of 50 years ago is now widely dispersed among
many candidates, in both political parties.
There are still Jewish voters who during the time of elections
are inclined to ask whether this or the other candidate is "good for
the Jews." By and large, however, the Jewish electorate today is deeply
concerned about issues such as Vietnam, pollution, inflation, unsafe
streets and social welfare. It is only natural for the Jewish voter to
be concerned also about American policy in the Middle East.
Neveretheless. it is quite clear to the leaders of both political
parties that in the forthcoming Presidential elections, each of the
competing candidates will he judged by many Jewish voters on the
basis of his attitude toward Israel. The fate of Israel is very much
on the minds of Jews in this canntry. They do not want 3.000.000

very first day of its establishment. The Republicans will advance the
argument that it is due to efforts of the Nixon administration that
Israel is now enjoying, for almost two years, comparative quiet in the
Suez Canal area and on the Jordanian front—the two largest battle-
fronts in the Arab-Israeli dispute. The Democrats will counter with
the argument that it was Truman who was the first statesman to grant
formal recognition to the State of Israel immediately after Israel's
declaration of independence
The Democratic will cite th, support given to Israel not only by
Truman but also by President Kennedy and President Johnson. They
trill point out that this was mit the case under the Eisenhower adminis-
tration. when John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State and made
no secret of his hostile attitude toward Israel. The Republicans will
emphasize that President Nixon has kept all his promises with regard
to Israel; and that upon his return ;ram Moscow he stressed, in his
address before the Congress. the L.S. obligation to keep Israel secure.
Should the Democratic convention nominate Sen. McGovern as
Presidential candidate, the Democrats will be at the disadvantage on
the Israel issue because 31cGovern . s views on the Arab - Israel conflict
have been vague until recently. The Republicans will probably exploit
in their propaganda the fact that Sen. McGovern was among the voters
in the Senate opposing U.S. aid to foreign lands. To this the Democrats
will reply that McGoverMs vote on foreign aid was tied up with Viet-
nam, and that, beginning with 1970, he made a distinction between aid
to Vietnam and aid to Israel.
In the 1968 elections. Nixon received 15 per cent of the Jewish
votes. The Republicans will aspire to double this number in this year's
elections. Jews living in suburbs — and constituting an upper middle-
class element in American Jewry — have shown a tendency in state and
Congressional elections during recent years to vote Republican. Striking
examples were the elections in some of the suburbs of New York and
Chicago where about 40 per cent of the Jewish votes were Republican
