Jewish Role in Political Arena
(Continued from Page 12)
appeasement policy is most
troublesome to sensitive
Jews, who view it as a
danger signal to democracy,
reminiscent of the odyssey
to Munich and aprelude to a
third World War, with Jews
serving as the scapegoats.
The U.S. is appeasing
almost everyone, and
most striking is its ap-
peasement of the Arabs,
which is, of course, most
offensive to Jews. The
appeasement of the
Arabs cannot be seen as
standing apart from the
pattern of the overall
American policy. In es-
sence, it is an outgrowth
of the general philosophy
of the Administration's
international relations. It
apparently emitiates
from the Vietnam syn-

drome and a fear to ap-
pear to be stonewalling
and aggressive.
The vogue is to com-
promise, to retreat and to
appease. The Middle East
appeasement policy is in-
deed an integral part of the
general weakness in
America's international re-
lations, East, West, North
and South. Many Jews
would like to see a new
leadership, dedicated to a
"no appeasement" policy.
The forthcoming elec-
tions will be, as usual, a test
for American democracy;
and especially for Jewish
voters regarding their per-
ceptiveness, interests and
aspirations as Jews and as
Americans.

Israel Tries to Bring Budget
Into Line With Inflation
JERUSALEM (JTA)
Finance Minister Yigal
Hurwitz's economic cabinet
decided to stretch the na-
tional budget to bring it in
line with galloping inflation
and to take tough measures
against employers who ex-
ceed the government's wage
guidelines.
This move will add IL 900
billion to the budget. Origi-
nal estimates had projected
an IL 653 billion increase.
The treasury reportedly
calculated the higher sum
on the basis of a 120 percent
inflation rate.
The adjusted budget will
be 125-130 percent higher
than its nominal value in
terms of average prices for
scal 1979, compared to a
'35 percent increase origi-
nally calculated.
It does not take into ac-
count the proposed
package deal now under
discussion by the gov-
ernment, Histadrut and
employers. It anticipates
a three percent drop in
consumption and a gross
national percent, drop in
consumption and a gross
national product in-
crease of only three per-
cent, due mainly to
greater exports.
.
Hutwitz, meanwhile, con-
tinues to insist on further
cuts in the various ministe-
rial budgets.
One of the main problems
in trying to balance the
budget is an expected five
percent shortfall of tax
revenues, amounting to an
estimated IL 20 billion. This
has been explained by the
government's austerity
program which has led to a
considerable drop in im-
ports. Imports of consumer
and durable goods have de-
clined by 25 percent. •
Hurwitz has ordered the
internal revenue service to
make good the tax shortfall
by tougher collection meas-
ures.
Healthy Economy
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
economic counsel at the
U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv for
the last three years, Samuel
F. Hart, told the America-
Israel Chamber of Com-
merce that Israel's economy
"is quite healthy despite the
enormous problems it
faces."
Hart says Israel has made
great strides during the
past three years, especially
in the field of high technol-
ogy.
