Wayne State University Professors Mobilize Support for Israel; Commend Democratic Aims Jewish professors at Wayne State University this week formed the Conference of WSU Jewish Faculty, with the aim of defending Israel's role in the world society. Prof. Abraham F. Citron of the department of educa- tional sociology was the con- venor of the group. The group's initial spokesmen in- clude Profs. George Barahal, educational psychology; Rob- ert Broner, Monteith College; Esther Broner, English; Ber- nard Goodman, economics; Jacob Hurwitz, social work; Julius Jackson, chemical en- gineering; and Eva Kahana, sociology. The statement of principles on the basis of which the -coup has begun to function :hides the following: "We support the state of Israel in its right to sover- eignty and secure borders. We deplore the resumption of war Oct. 6 by the Arab states. We condemn the actions of the Soviet Union, which, through he supply of huge amounts of armaments, and of Soviet advisory personnel has encouraged Arab aggres- sion .. • "The building of a modern democracy attendant to the welfare of its people has been the central concern of this new nation. Israel is a plur- alistic society encompassing collective settlements and pri- vate ownership, communal concepts and capitalistic en- terprise. It is a Jewish state with religious and political freedoms for all the inhabi- tants. This vigorous democ- racy has a dozen political parties and newspapers rep- resenting their varying views. . . "The death of any human being fighting for any flag anywhere is a tragedy, the more deep because it does not have to happen; but Is- rael is so small that the death of a single soldier is not only a tragic loss to loved ones in humanistic terms but a military and national catas- trophe. Israel has no natural resources beyond some re- claimed land, air, sunlight and some water; it does not have billions in oil resources as do the Arab nations. "Israel's greatest resource is its people. It seeks only two goals, and these are inex- tricably intertwined; guaran- tees for its survival and peace. Israel must have __peace. The peace sought by Israel and urged by the United States has so far been spurned by the Soviet Union and by Arab governments. "We commend the govern- ment of the United States for its determination to supply Israel with arms necessary to its survival and to redress the balance of power in the Eddie East. "We welcome the cease fire and hope that it can lead to a just and stable peace, a peace in which all borders will be inviolate and secure; a peace in which full efforts and manpower in the whole area may be turned to up- building the land and raising standards of living. "We urge our colleagues and our fellow citizens to stand by Israel in its strug- gle for survival and in its quest for peace, and tranquil- ity for ALL the peoples of the Middle East." 52 Scholars From 8 Nations Criticize European Govts. for Complacency on War BOSTON—A statement in support of Israel and critical of Western nations for com- placent attitudes toward the Middle East war was signed by 52 scholars attending the International Conference on the University Emergency in Vienna last week. The scholars represented eight European nations plus the U. S. Nathan Glazer, pro- fessor of education and social structure at Harvard, said the idea of the statement was to show that "a public opinion for Israel exists in Europe." Glazer, Harvard Prof. Sey- mour Martin Upset and Ed- ward Shils of the University of Chicago drafted the two- page document. The 37 Euro- pean educators represented Great Britain, Italy, France, Sweden, Germany, Nether- lands, Belgium and Switzer- land. The statement said that while the scholars have not been unanimous in their at- titude toward Israel's poli- cies in the past, "we agree now that it is of overriding importance that Israel sur- vive and that a genuine peace be established in the Middle East." T h e scholars expressed their regret that "some of our governments have been complacent or worse in the face of Arab aggression.
