Jewish Existence
‘,. . . A sound constitu-
tional structure can only be
one which recognizes the
existence of a Jewish nation
side by side with the Arab
nations. The Jewish com-
munity in Palestine will
never surrender its national
attributes and its attach-
ment to a national tradition,
in order to merge them into
the attributes and tradi-
tions of another people."

Israel Cabinet Approves New
Budget Without Histadrut OK
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Cabinet approved an
IL 122.5 billion ($13.6 mil-
lion) national budget for
the fiscal year 1977-78
Tuesday night without
the endorsement of His-
tadrut and with defense
spending still undecided.
The new budget is one
percent less than the cur-
rent budget and IL 4.5 bil-
lion ($500 million) under
the originally proposed
budget for the new fiscal
year.
It is called an anti-
inflationary budget and
is predicated on the as-
sumption that the gov-
ernment will be able to
hold the line on spending
within its own depart-
ments and persuade labor
and management to
maintain wage-price sta-
bility.
The Cabinet did not deal
with the Defense Minis-
try's demand for an
additional IL500 million
($56 million) to meet its
minimal needs next year.
A special committee con-
sisting of Premier Yitzhak
Rabin, Finance Minister
Yehoshua Rabinowitz and
Defense Minister Shimon
Peres will meet shortly to
try to reach a compromise.
The governments har-
dest task will be to gain
the cooperation of His-
tadrut on the wage front.
The trade union federa-
tion's initial reaction to
the new budget indicated
+Inn+
are in prospect, especially
over the governments de-
cision to reduce cost-of-
living allowances.
The government ap-
parently intendS to use a
carrot-and-stick formula
in dealing with Histad-
rut. If the latter cooper-
ates, labor would be re--
warded by a general price
freeze, at least until Ap-
ril, after which prices
would remain under
strict controls. If not, the
penalty would be an in-
crease in the value-added
tax.
Other economic meas-
ures linked to the new
budget include a
maximum 30 percent rise
in the prices of basic
commodities instead of
the 40 percent rise origi-
nally anticipated and a
maximum 25 percent hike
in telephone, electric and
water rates.
Allowances for children,
a fixed sum paid monthly
by the National Insurance
Institute for each child,
and credit points for tax
purposes would be held to
70 percent of the cost-of-
living index instead of the
present 100 percent. Corn-
panies will not be allowed
to pay dividends in excess
of those paid in 1976.
Finally, the budget
calls for a 20 percent de-
valuation of the Pound
during fiscal 77-78 in-
stead of the 25 percent
