chairman of the Council of
Jewish religious commu-
nities in Czechoslovakia,
participated as an ob-
server in a meeting of the
World Jewish Congress

turned from a visit to the
United States, said there is
a growing feeling in Wash-
ington's political circles that
Israel is demanding too
much aid in proportion to
that given to other countries
in the world. The same im-

Urge Businessmen
to Deal With Israel
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Declaring that it is profita-
ble to invest in Israel, Uri
Ben-Ari, Consul General of
Israel in New York, urged
American businessmen "to
do business with Israel" and
to invest in that country's
economy.
Addressing some 200
businessmen at a luncheon
sponsored by the American-
Israel Chamber of Com-
merce and Industry at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Ben-
Ari said that the last 28
years have shown that it
pays for American busi-
nessmen to invest in Israel's
growing economy.
Assemblyman Joseph F.
Lisa (D-Queens), who ini-
tiated the New York State
anti-boycott law against
Arab discrimination and
pressure on companies
which deal with Israel,
stated that "evey state in
the country must follow the
New York legislation." He
said that more than 1,500
American companies are on
the Arab "blacklist."

meet the basic needs of its
citizens."
