and flourished in Israel.
Goldmann, who is 82, said
this was probably the last
Zionist Congress he would
ever attend. Peace is the
pre-condition for the ful-
fillment of Zionism, he said.
As long as Israel is engaged
in wars and expending its
energies on its defense, it
could not claim to have jus-
tified Zionism.
Goldmann also warned
against assimilation. He
cited the historian, Salo
Baron, who said that if all
Jews throughout the
ages had remained
Jewish, the Jewish
people today would
number some 200 million.

Addressing the Congress
political committee, Schin-
dler said popular support for
Israel has "suffered a major
setback" in the United
States and suggested that
the Carter Administration
was preparing the ground to
advance a Middle East solu-
tion of its own.
He said that might have
been the intent of the White
House briefings for
Senators and Jewish lead-
ers that followed Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat's
visit to Washington two
weeks ago: In any event,
Schindler said, Israel's drop
in popularity was amply re-
flected in recent polls and
could be attributed to the
settlements issue and Is-
Israel's image has become
"untruthful, conniving,"
Schindler- said, opening a
"credibility gap" in the U.S.
On the other hand, the
American public "by and
large" accepted Sadat's
messages: that Egypt gave
much and received almost
nothing in return, that
Egypt took the "high road to
peace" while Israel quibbled
over peripheral issues, and
that Egypt was on the verge
of • giving up hope and
"chucking in" its entire
peace initiative, Schindler
said. He said Carter was
personally "unnerved by
the threat of the interruped
negotiations and the fear
that the opportunity for
peace is slipping away.
According to Schin-
dler, Israel's sagging
image in the U.S. was due
partly to the cumula-
tive effect of the State
Department's assertions
that its settlements in oc-
cupied Arab territory
were "illegal" and the
"double standard" the
American news media
applied to Israel and the
Arabs. He noted in that
connection the criticism
engendered by Premier
Menahem Begin's sharp
lecture to Egyptian
Foreign Minister

dinner in Jerusalem last

Erlich South Africa Trip Debated
by Zionist Congress Delegation
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Finance Minister .Shimha
Ehrlich defended his recent
visit to South Africa against
critics who charged, at the
29th World Zionist Con-
gress, that Israel's coopera-
tion with a "racist state" put
it in disrepute. Ehrlich said
he was proud 'to have made
the trip in the interests of
- strengthening Israel's
economy.
"All thd talk of national
'damage has no foundation.
We did openly what others
are doing under the table;"
he declared, adding that
"we are willing to receive
any assistance, even from
Communist countries."
Ehrlich went to South Af-
rica on Feb. 5 for an eight-
day visit, accompanied by
his wife and an entourage of
Finance Minsitry officials.
He met with Prime Minister.
John Vorster, Finance
Minister Owen Horwood
and Foreign Minister Pik
- Botha as well as with lead-
ers of the South African
Jewish community.
The trip was described
by Israeli sources as an
effort to boost exports to
South Africa to help
overcome the substantial
trade imbalance between
the two countries and to

Ehrligh's trip was as-
sailed at the Zionist Con-
gress by Prof. Shlomo Avin-
eri of the Labor Party, a
former director general of
the Foreign Ministry and
Ran Cohen, of the Sheli fac-
tion. -
_ Avineri asked Ehrlich to
explain how Israel could
cooperate with a "racist
state." Cohen said the visit
was a slap at national liber-
ation movements and
damaging to the Zionist
image but the finance
minister was warmly
applauded by most of the
Congress delegates and his
trip was defended by Julius
Weinstein, chairman of the
South African Zionist Fed-
eration.
"As Jews and as Zionists,
if the hand of my country is
extended to Israel, Israel
should accept it," Weinstein
said. He praised South Af-
rica for being "the first on
several occasions to support
Israel" and said that
Ehrlich's trip paved the way
for greater investments by.
' South Africans in Israel.
Weinstein was also
applauded. But the Sheli de-
legate shouted from the
floor, "This is shame and
disgrace for Zionism."

Klutznick told the Con-
gress delegates that the
situation was "critical"
since the break off of
Israeli-Egyptian negotia-
tions and Jews around the
world are "very, very wor-
ried." He stressed that
Diaspora Jews saw their
role as supportive of the
negotiating efforts made by
the parties themselves.
But-he regretted that the
"sense of mutuality

appeared to be referring to
rumors spread in Israel that
he had suggested to Presi-
dent Carter that the. U.S.
apply pressure on Israel for
greater flexibility in peace
negotiations. Klutznick has
vigorously denied the alle-
gations.
