Scenically and climatically it is in one of the loveliest areas of Israel. This is the Ilon settlement. The colony -lies close to the Lebanese border, and is strategically of great value for the defense of Israel. Acknowledgement of the Forward's role has been given by Israel in an attractive booklet telling the story of how the paper financed the establishment of thi- new settlement. THE "FORWARD" — TODAY: This is but one of the examples of the Forward as a "giver." Since its existence, the Yiddish newspaper has been contributing its profit for Jewish causes. It has also helped to finance the establish- ment of Kfar Blum, the settlement in Israel named after Leon Blum, the Jewish socialist premier of France, whom the Petain government delivered to the Nazi authorities during Hitler's occupation of France; he was kept by the Nazi regime in the Buchenwald concentration camp and was liberated by the Americans entering Germany. The Forward also sent as a gift to the Histadrut in Israel several modern linotype machines to teach youngsters modern linotype setting and printing. It also made other significant contributions to Israel before and after the establishment of the Jewish state, and generous contributions to the Arbeiter Ring schools and other cul- tural institutions in the United States. Now the Forward is no longer in a position to be a "giver." The paper must struggle for its own existence be- cause of lack of advertising, mounting inflation, and other circumstances. It is today the only Yiddish daily newspaper in the U.S. and its influence is still strong. However, it is now compelled to appeal for financial aid to its readers and to Jewish institutions. It is conducting a fund-raising cam- paign for $600,000 to be raised between now and April 1982, when the newspaper will celebrate the 85th year of existence. COMMUNAL OBLIGATIONS: The readers have during recent years answered generously the appeals of the Forward for aid. Not so generous are the Jewish organiza- tions in terms of advertising in the paper. As a national cultural institution helpful to American Jewry'in combatting anti-Semitism in the United States, in strengthening Jewish continuity, in bringing masses to demonstrations against Soviet treatment of Jews, in par- ticipating in various efforts for Israel, and in devoting its pages to promoting Jewish culture, the,Forward is entitled` to financial aid from the Jewish federations. The inclusion of the Forward in the United Cultural Appeal would not only be justified but add to the prestige of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture. It would be in line with the obligations of the Jewish federations to sup- port institutions which serve American Jewry culturally and otherwise. It would relieve the Forward from being compelled to seek assistance through its own fund-raising campaigns, and would guarantee the continuation of this only Yiddish daily newspaper for many years to come.

Under the present law, only in- dividual victims of Nazi war crimes can bring suit against such persons. Vogel said that the ruling Social Democratic Party has reached agreement with its coalition partner, the Free Democrats, on the first two issues. He said he expects eventual agreement on all three.
