significant achievement in
that the sum was more than
half that raised during the
previous year, which was
the year of the Yom Kippur
War emergency campaign.
Second was South Africa,
he said, followed by Switz-
erland (the German-speak-
ing part), Canada, West
Germany, Belgium, and
Australia.
Keren Hayesod-U1A oper-'
ates in 70 countries and is
the main fund-raising body
for Israel outside of the
U.S., where the United Jew-
ish Appeal operates inde-
pendently.
Kreutner said estimated
operating expenses for
Keren Hayesod in the com-
ing year would be $4 mil-
lion, only about two percent
of estimated income.
Asked to compare Keren
Hayesod's results to those
of the UJA, Kreutner
stated that in the calendar
year of 1974 Keren Haye-
sod's cash income was
$167.3 million while that of
the UJA was $222.5 mil-
lion.
Asked to grade Jewish
communities in miler of
their response to Keren
Hayesod fund-raising ef-
forts, Kreutner noted that
British Jewry had sur-
passed all estimates during
the wartime appeal.

He stressed that Keren
Hayesod fund-raising was
based on the work of local
leadership which v, 'ts
aided and guided by tie
head office in Jerusalem.
In at least two centers,
Antwerp and German-
speaking Switzerland,
there were virtually no
overhead, all the work
being done voluntarily.
Kreutner said Keren Hay-
esod asked its fundraisers to
stress the true situation in
Israel, neither whitewash-
ing the real picture nor
painting it in exaggeratedly
gloomy colors.
If aliya was down — as it
is at present — the ireren
Hayesod campaigning cen-
tered on Israel's pressing so-
cial, health and educational
needs which the govern-
ment, overburdened by de-
fense expenditures, could
not meet alone. •
Kreutner had warm
words of praise for the suc-
cess of the Keren Hayesod
"study mission" program
which brings parties of over-
seas Jews to Israel for short
and intensive study tours to
familiarize them at first
hand with the country's
problems.
During the 1974-75 year,
there were 55 such missions,
including 19 from Britain,
nine from Canada, and
seven from France.
He said that in some out-
lying Jewish communities,
such as the Caribbean or
Rhodesia, Keren Hayesod
comprised virtually the sole
consistent year-round Jew-
ish activity which embraced
most of the Jewish popu-
lace.
`Arabs Prepare
for New War'
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Pre-
mier Yitzhak Rabin said
recently that developments
in the Arab world indicated
that the Arabs are prepar-
ing for a possible new war
against Israel rather than
laying the groundwork for
new peace initiatives in the
Middle East.
Therefore, the Premier
said, Israel's policy must be
based on rehabilitating its
currently strained relations
with the United States;
preparing politically for
new efforts to solve the Is-
raeli-Arab conflict by peace-
ful means; and intensifying
its military preparedness to
meet any eventualities.
Such measures, he told an
audience of industrialists
meeting here on the Export
Week program, would allow
Israel to 'exercise indepen-
dent political, economic and
security policies.

COPENHAGEN (ZINS)
— The Jewish population of
Siberia's Birobidjan dec-
lined by 20 percent in the
period 1959 to 1973, accord-
ing to two censuses con-
ducted by the Soviet govern-
ment for the years 1959 and
1973.
In January 1959 the cen-
sus showed that there were
14,269 Jews living in Birob-
idjan. In 1973, there were
only 11,452.
In the latest national cen-
sus there were only 1,970
Jews in Birobidjan who said
that their native tongue was
Yiddish, whereas in 1959
there were 5,597 Jews who
declared that their native
tongue was Yiddish.
