Japanese Insist Israel Ties Continue
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
delegation of Japan's Demo-
cratic Socialist Party, includ-
ing two members of Japan's
parliament, met at the home
of the Japanese consul gen-
eral in New York with Jacob
Stein, chairman of the Con-
ference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Or-
ganizations; Rabbi Israel
Miller, vice chairman; and
Yehuda Hellman, executive
director.
The Japanese parliamen-
tary leaders said recent visits
by Japanese government
leaders to, and offers of,
substantial Japanese invest-
Arab countries
ent
Juld be viewed as showing
a greater interest in coun-
tries that supply Japan with
oil and not as a change in
Japanese-Israel relations.
The Japanese expressed
concern over the possibility
of an American boycott of
Japanese consumer goods.
The Jewish leaders said
that in yielding to Arab oil
blackmail Japan was follow-
ing a policy which had his-
torically proven disastrous,
that the action of Japan
weakened the American ini-
tiative for peace in the
Middle East and that Japan's
failure to support American
foreign policy in the Mideast
was losing Japan many
friends in this country.
Stein told the Japanese
representative that there had
been great restraint in any
economic reaction to Japan's
actions but that if further
capitulation to blackmail oc-
curred Japan could expect a
strong reaction from the
American public.
Stein urged that Japan act
in concert with the U. S. and
other oil consuming coun-
tries in resisting blackmail
and in developing new and
alternative sources of energy.
Ustinov Denounces Existence of Israel
AMSTERDAM (JTA) —
Actor-producer Peter Ustinov
said in an interview with
Elseviers magazine that he
did not believe that the state
of Israel must go on existing.
In the Christmas issue,
Ustinov, of Jewish origin,
declared that the Diaspora
was not a tragedy and said
he believed the greatest
Jewish achievements were
made before the establish-
ment of the state of Israel.
He criticized Zionism as
"a sentimental matter and
the source of unhappiness for
everyone."

Aleksandr L. Solzhenitsyn's
revelations of the Soviet atro-
cities, in his 260,000-word
"The Gulag Archipelago,
1918.1956," reveals that Josef
Stalin, the Soviet dictator,
had planned a pogrom on the
Jews of Moscow, mass expul-
sion of Jews from Russia to
Siberia and that in Czarist
times Stalin had joined the
secret police of the oppres-
sive government of Czar
Nicholas II.
Land o' Goshen!
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Prof.
.Yehuda Elitzur of the_ Tel
Aviv University had some
disappointing news for the Is-
raeli forces on the west bank
of the Suez Canal.
This area is unofficially
referred to by the soldiers
as "Eretz Goshen" — that
part of Egypt where the an-
cient Israelites were dwelling
while in Egypt.
According to Elitzur, this
area cannot be the ancient
Goshen region because that
area was, according to the
Bible, a fertile area while
the west bank now held by
Israelis has only recently
become fertile.
Hence, the deduction of the
scholar is that Goshen lies
some 35 miles west or north-
west.
