TEL AVIV — American Jewish professor for political science and
modern history Hans Morgenthau, who taught U.S. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger at Harvard, often criticises the policy of his former
pupil, especially this attitude towards the Near East.
Prof. Morgenthau, who is an international specialist for strategic
problems was invited as a guest lecturer by the Haifa University. He
told an audience in Haifa, that after the return of Dr. Kissinger from
his recent mission in the Middle East, he met his former pupil and both
tried to analyze the reasons that led to the break-off of the last negotia-
tions between Israel and Egypt.
He proposed to Dr. Kissinger, that the U.S. should establish a naval
base in Haifa to influence the Arab countries to refrain from starting
a new war against Israel.
Prof. Morgenthau told his audience that Dr. Kissinger returned
from the Middle East in a nervous state and accused Israel of not
being flexible enough to promote a new settlement with Egypt. Is-
rael, he said, deluded him that it would give up the oil fields of Abu
Rodeis and the Mitla and Gidi mountain passes.
But it was clear from the beginning that Egyptian President Sadat
could net give an assurance of end of belligerency. Prof. Morgenthau
soidithat even such an assurance would:Lie of no practical value and that
ii Sadat would determine .to renew the war in future, he would do so
Oregarding any former assurances.
Prof. Morgenthau opposed partial settlements. The main question
for him is the existence of Israel. One can reach an agreement with the
Arabs on several problems like borders, retreat from certain areas,.de-
militarize areas, but the most important and decisive question remains:
are: Arabs ready to recognize the state of Israel?
Dr. Kissinger told Prof. Morgenthau Israel should be ready to leave
the entire Sinai area if Sadat would recognize the existence of Israel.
But in the opinion of Prof. Morgenthau Israel should take the initiative
and propose a total settlement on the basis of the UN Security Council's
resolution 242, according to which both sides agree to demilitarize cer-

Paraphrasing Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's declaration at his press conference
Tuesday afternoon, that "no lesson should be drawn by the enemies of our friends" from the
calamities suffered in Vietnam, political analysts and those concerned over recent developments
in efforts to obtain peace agreements between Israel and the Arab states now are adopting the
slogan: "This is a time to draw a lesson from the enemies of the democracies in the Middle East."
Secretary Kissinger's expression of shock that the anticipated Vietcong cooperation for ne-
gotiations with South Vietnam should have been abandoned on Sunday evening, when the at-
tacks on Saigon took on increased ferocity, is being equated with the exchange of views between
Israelis and Arabs which collapsed when Israel refused to submit to a pledge of non-belligerence
that was to be given not to the Israelis but indirectly to the Secretary of State.
Israelis now assert that Israel's position was a realistic one, that unless there are
direct talks between Israel and the Arabs, and not through an intermediary, with firm
agreements, there is no guarantee that breaking of pledges or failure to attain anticipated
gestures of good will could be counted upon as diplomatic certainties.
Conceding the obligation to support President Gerald Ford and Secretary Kissinger in their
call for a "healing of wounds" and avoidance of "re-criminations," pragmatists on the Middle East
issue hold to the view that if conditions calling for a "healing" are to be avoided there must be
prevention of wounding.
"Anything like submission to Sadat invites wounding, and that would be an introduc-
- "-lion of a Vietnam error into the Middle East," the pragmatist warns.
The Ford administration and the State Department thus are reminded that Israel has not
in the past and does not now ask for American personnel to direct her defenses or for American
Marines to do battle for her. All we ask, is the repetition in Israel's reminder of an established
policy, is the means with which to protect our will' to live. We'll fight our own battles, but if we
are well provided with means for self-defense, that will be the best assurance that a battle can be
avoided.
Vietnam thus poses the question based on the Kissinger admonition: will the U. S. draw
a lesson. from Vietnan to avoid unnecessary conflagration in the Middle East?

AJCampaign is Assured $17,650,000;
Hits A Near-Record for Generosity
Greater Detroit's 1975 Allied Jewish Campaign — Israel Emergency Fund drive is assured a total exceeding $17,000,000. The
Campaign was like a defiance of the economic obstacles as it marked the second highest achievement in communal generosity in the
history of Greater Detroit's philanthropic efforts, as only the 1974 drive which was sparked by the needs created by the Yom Kippur
War exceeded the present achievements.
Noted journalist Robert St. John addressed the Campaign's closing meeting Wednesday evening at Temple Beth El, and
essed confidence that the United States will not let Israel down. "President Ford needs to be reminded that the latest polls show
ricans better than three to one against abandoning Israel," St. John said.
Alp
After St. John's speech, William Avrunin, executive
vice president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, under
whose auspices the Campaign is conducted, said 3,000 po-
tential contributors are yet to be reached and whose gifts
are considered certain.
As of the closing night, co-chairmen Richard Sloan and
Arthur 'Howard, and their assisting division heads reported
that 20,317 people had already pledged $16,586,787 as of
Wednesday night. Avrunin said the additional $1,000,000
estimated by him and the Campaign leaders is viewed as a
certainty.
This gives the current drive an outstanding rating for the
Greater Detroit Jewish community and again establishes an
enviable record of leadership for Detroiters in the entire
country.

Meeting are, from left, Campaign General Chairman Arthur

The closing meeting was attended by more than 900 volun-
teer workers and top contributors and was inspired by St.
John's address.
