IL 11 Billion Supplemental War Expense Budget OKd by Cabinet JERUSALEM (JTA)—The, cabinet approved a record IL 11,000.000,000 ($2,750,000,- 000) supplementary budget representing an increase of more than 50 per cent over the regular annual budget of IL 20,000,000,000. The suPplementary budget is intended mainly to cover expenges arising from the Yorn Kippur War. It is over and above an emergency sunplementary budget of IL 1.250,000.000 approved while the war was still being fought to cover immediate exnenses. The supplementary budget was approved without opposi- tion and will be submitted to the eighth Knesset when it convenes for the first time next week. Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir who introduced the budget to the cabinet said it was Israel's biggest addi- tional budget, both absolute. ly and relatively. In addition to regular war expenses. the budget also covers the salaries paid mobilized men which amount to IL 200,000,000 a month. The budget also includes sums which were determined before the war, such as the pay increases in the summer of 1973. Sapir said the national Product declined sharply in the last quarter Of the year, more sharply than any de- cline in the past and was related to the partial mobil- ization of the economy. Red Paper Softer on Israel, Is Possible Diplomacy Move BRUSSELS (JTA) — The Communist Party organs here have been circulating a text said to be written by Communists of "Jewish or- igins" which departs from the usual hard anti-Israel party line. The writers of the unsign- ed text, "Reflections on the Future of the State of Is- rael." assert that "Israel is a living reality for us" be- cause of "historical, tradi- tional and family ties." Many observers here note that the text appears at a time when there is much talk of the possible renewal of Soviet-Israeli diploinatic re- lations. These observers indicate the article may have been published in a Western Com- munist Party paper at the instigation of the Soviet Union as a diplomatic move in order to sound out the opinion of the Jewish com- munity in the Western world. The outline of the article remains within the general Communist Party lines, but is noteworthy for its tone of moderation. It criticizes Is- rael's present government and what it calls its "sui- tidal" policy of "annexa- tion," but at the same time, makes no virulent attack on Zionism and Zionist struc- tures in Israel. Furthermore, the writers see Israel's survival in the Middle East among its Arab neighbors - as positive and even go so far as to say Is- rael has the right to exist on condition that the Arab territories be evacuated and the national rights of the Palestinians be fully recog- nized. It criticizes the United. States and its policy of force in the Mediterranean and ad- vises the Jewish state to "change its allies." Such an alliance, they say, is jeopardizing Israel's chance to develop better re- lations with Europe and take advantage of the East-West detente. In this connection, the writers express "their hope for improved Soviet- Israeli relations in the near future." The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. — Henry Da vid. Thoreau.
