Whatever the mo- tives for the American Jewish record on aliya it must surely generate a decent humility towards Soviet Jews who, in their fatigue and confusion, are unable to fulfill the dictates of our national history. When Zionism celeb- rated its decisive political victory after World War I its leaders took a double and parallel course. Weizmann and his col- leagues appeared before the peace conference in 1919 with their call for recognition of Jewish na- tional independence.

The most 'satanic and heinous anti-Zionist prop- aganda after the 'Second World World War sought to saddle Zionism with the sin of indifference to the saving of Jewish lives other than those destined We dare not accord re- troactive validity to this libel by giving our Jewish solidarity a parochial or selective interpretation. When we rightly assert that a Jewish state, had it existed in the 1940's, would have saved the lives of millions of Jews, the diagnosis certainly includes not only those who would have "come * home" in the fullest sense, but also those who would have used a sovereign Jewish passport for their varied forms of personal de- liverance. I hope that Israeli lead- ers who wish to obey an integral Zionism, free of any Canaanitish em- phasis, should think again, and liberate * * Jewish Symposium Set in Moscow NEW YORK (JTA) — A delegation of four Ameri- can Jewish scholars has been chosen to go to Mos- cow in response to a world-wide call for Jewish scholars to attend a three-day symposium in Moscow organized by a small group of Soviet Jews, according to the Association for Jewish Studies (AJS). The AJS was one of the Jewish groups which re- ceived the invitation, said Dr. Leon A. Jick, director of the Center for Contem- * porary Jewish Studies at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. An American Academic Committee for the Mos- cow Conference, which is scheduled to meet Dec. 19-21, has been formed to support the goals of the conference, at which the Moscow Jewish activists hope to meet to discuss the future of Jewish cul- ture within the Soviet Union. In their call to Jewish scholars to come to Mos- * * Papers Disagree. on Dropouts JERUSALEM (JTA) — Two of Israel's leading newspapers have taken opposing views on the issue of Russian drop- outs. Editorials in the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz reflect the polarization of opinion in Israel as to whether as- sistance should be ex- tended to Jews who leave the Soviet Union with Is- raeli visas but go elsewhere. The Post maintains that dropouts should not be aided by Israel or by , That's the Tamaroff Sales Policy.

Haaretz holds, how- ever, that denying these emigrants aid would transgress against a car- dinal Jewish precept — "pidyon shevuyim" — the rescue of prisoners. The paper states that the re- scue of Jews from a land where they cannot main- tain their Jewishness takes primacy over what their ultimate destina- tion may be. In New York, Menachem Beigin, the leader of the Likud opposition in Israel, suggested that there should be an "interim" period of about a year be- fore any aid is cut off to Soviet Jews who leave the USSR for Israel but go to some other country. He said this would prevent creating real human hard- ships. Beigin told an overflow crowd of some 2,000 people at Cong. B'nai Jeshurun in Manhattan that during this transi- tion period efforts should be made to convince the potential dropouts that they owe it to themselves and their fellow Jews to go to Israel. Subsidy Criticized JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Knesset member Yosi Sharid strongly criticized subsidies paid to Israeli officers who are sent to the U.S. for specialized military training. He claims that the standard of living of these Israeli officers is too high. Sharid cited the $50,000 paid to General Eli Zeira for 14 months in the U.S. as en- tirely unrealistic — espe- cially when it was known that the general would not return to military service: cow to participate, the ac- tivists affirmed the rights of Soviet Jewry to cultural freedom and cited the tenets of the Helsinki agreement. Elie Wiesel is chairman of the American committee. Jick said the American Jewish scholars — Mar- vin Herzog of Columbia University, Baruch Levine of New York Uni- versity, Jacob Neusner of Brown University and Marshall Sklare of Bran- deis University — had applied for visas in the hope that Soviet au- thorities would permit the conference to take place, allow the activists to rent a hall for the con- clave, and issue the visas for the four American Jewish scholars "in the spirit of the Helsinki agreement." Jick said similar com- mittees had been or- ganized in Israel and in Britain. American Jewish leaders from a pressure that goes against every fraternal and humane impulse. In any case this is a theme on which American Jews have a right, and per- haps a duty, to assert their independent judg- ment. Nothing could be more tragic than -to embark on a policy that would cause division between Ameri- can Jews and each other, between American and Russian Jews, between Israel and the Jews of the two main diasporas. If we separate our disapproval of the drop-out process from our humane duty to those involved, these dis- cords can still be avoided. (In an address last week to the Women's League for Conservative Judaism meeting at Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., Eban said that "Ameri- can Jews are making practically no contribu- tion to help Israel's de- mographic drought" by aliya.)
