Almogi Thanks Unions for Support Continued from Page 1 Almogi expressed Israel's gratitude for labor's support and for the traditional Ameri- can friendship for his coun- try. He analyzed the combi- nation of enmities that stern from the union of dictator- ships in Arab countries with communism and he pointed to a three-fold background for the attack on Israel on Yom Kippur when only a handful of young boys was available to defend their land: 1. The Arab desire to destroy Israel; 2. Russia's alliance with that aim, based on the need for a proving ground for their weapons to emphasize the Kremlin's strength and domination in the Middle East; 3. Domina- tion of oil interests. To attain their goal, the Russians are ready to pour in billions to advance the Arab cause, Almogi said. "Therefore, we are not fight- ing for ourselves but against a threat to the world," the Israeli leader asserted. "If we fail, Russia will dominate the world. By saving Israel we work against Russian world domination. We are up against a Satanic combi- nation of forces that is out first to destroy Israel and then to threaten the democra- cies in the Western world." Almogi described the over- whelming forces that at- tacked Israel with 4,000 tanks and immense numbers of planes. "We had to fight the technology of Russia, France and Great Britain as well as the materials that were pro- vided to Jordan by the United States," he stated. He told of the missiles and the deadly weapons that were used against Israel. He also as- cribed the Afro-Asian coun- tries' submission to pressures and to briberies in breaking relations with Israel "be- cause they were betting on a winning horse." Describing the worldwide antagonism to Israel, Almogi pointed to the fact that op- position to Israel even united the arch enemies Russia and China. "Although we were threat- ened by 700,000 troops and 4,000 tanks, and air flotillas, we overcame the danger in ; Prescription F\f\ Optical Co. 7 / 26001 COOLIDGE HWY OAK PARK 543.3343 MIZRACHI TOURS TO IS.RPIEL Invites you to have the greatest experience during your visit in ISRAEL We assure you that you will have a spiritual satisfaction.

"Now we are 20 miles from Damas- cus and 50 miles from Cairo." But he pointed to new dangers because "Arabs can't afford a stalemate. We face new critical times. Therefore, we need your po- litical and financial support. We are defending ourselves. We don't want a single American to fight in our be- half. Give us your aid. Help us through Israel Bonds as an expression of humanity, so that we can overcome the burdens in the weeks to come." Almogi clarified issues in- volved in the Arab-Israel conflict in response to ques- tions regarding the current situation. He dealt at length with the energy problem. He pointed out that oil is a po- litical weapon, now used against Israel, later to be utilized in pressuring de- mands upon the Western world. "By yielding now, America becomes a colony of Saudi Arabia," he added. To avert future dangers, he urged Americans to stand firm against the oil demands and the Russian menacing position that affects all man- kind. Addressing an overflow gathering at the Labor Zion- ist Institute Tuesday night, Almogi urged unified Jewish action to assure solidarity in Israel's behalf. His appeal resulted in many Israel Bond purchases.

Is Mideast Grain Source WASHINGTON (JTA) — While the Arab states con- tinue to use oil production cutbacks as a political wea- pon against the United States, the U.S. has emerged as the prime source of grain and other farm products for the Middle East, according to the agriculture department's publication, Foreign Agricul- ture. The report said that in the July-September 1973 period, American wheat shipments to the Arab countries totaled 145,000 metric tons, 5 1/2 times more than in the same period last year. Egypt bought $83,000,000 of U.S. farm commodities dur- ing the fiscal year that end- ed last June 30, almost dou- ble the 'previous year's pur- chases. Egypt bought 292,000 tons of wheat flour. In recent months, Syria purchased 50,000 tons of U.S. wheat and Iraq about 100,000 tens this year. The publica- tion said that floods in Paki- stan were responsible for the Arab countries turning to the U.S. as a major source of rice pending deliveries from Thailand. The sale of U.S. grain and other farm products to the Middle East are expected to reach a record $600,000,000 in fiscal 1973-74, a 50 per cent jump over the previous year. The Middle East, according to Foreign Agriculture, is as big a market for American farm products as China or India.
