Awkwardness is a more
real disadvantage than it is
generally thought to be: it

often occasions ridicule, and
always lessens dignity.

Political Effects of Inflation
Subject of Journal Article

NEW YORK — Israel's
troubled economy and the
political effects of triple-
digit inflation rate on the
Begin government were the
subject of a recent Wall
Street Journal article by
Jonathan Spivak. Spivak
said, in part:
"As with other issues,
most Israelis split on politi-
cal lines over just what are
the causes of inflation.
Labor Party adherents in-
sist the ruling Likud Party's
large spending increases
and budget_ deficits are at
fault. But Likud Party
economists charge that de-
cades of mismanagement by
previous Labor govern-
ments are to blame — in-
cluding subsidies and ex-
change rate manipulations
which long concealed the
actual inflation rate.
" The truth is that infla-
tion doesn't have much to do
with either Labor or Likud
policies,' insists one gov-
ernment expert. 'It is a
structural problem.' Talks
with business executives
and government officials
support this view and reveal
how deeply entrenched in-
flation is.
"Some Israeli officials
believe there is a simple
solution: a powerful dose
of adversity. This would
include a freeze on real

wage increases, re-
ductions in private and
public consumption, cuts.
in government spending,
increased taxes, a bal-
anced budget and lower
standards of living for
everyone.
"So far, however, triple-
digit inflation has seemed
far less painful to most Is-
raelis than this corrective.
So the search for other solu-
tions goes on."

Closing the Gap

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Dr. Eliezer ben Rafael, a
sociology professor at Tel
Aviv University, says Israel
is closing the ethnic gap be-
tween Ashkenazic and
Sephardic Jews.
He said the 20 percent of
Israeli marriages today
cross ethnic lines and 17
percent of university stu-
dents in Israel are now
Sephardim (up from six per-
cent in the 1960s)..
