Looking at the Jewish World
By WARREN FREEDMAN
The American Jewish
community can hardly take
pride in the fact that less
than 1 percent of American
Jews have made aliya to Is-
rael . . . perhaps 50,000 be-
tween 1948 and 1980.
Interestingly, the first
American ,Consul in the
Holy Land, Ward Cresson,
converted to Judaism in
1845, made aliya, and then
established an agricultural
colony near Jerusalem.

do India's 700 million

Israeli - American trade
hit $3.8 billion in 1981. Fur-
thermore, American busi-
ness has invested in Israel
more than $1 billion.
Americans are in oil
exploration, genetic-
engineering and metal-
finishing in Israel. Inci-
dentally, American - Is-
rael trade gives the U.S. a
surplus of $1.2 billion.

Pope John Paul II, despite
four years of invitations to
visit Israel, has seen fit to
journey to Mexico, Brazil,
Ireland, the U.S., France,
Germany, India, the Philip-
pines, Portugal, Britain,
Argentina and various
countries in Africa.
He has referred to Jews
by the vague phrase, "Seed
of Abraham," so as not to
create disfavor with the de-
scendants of Ishmael. He
has called for the recogni-
tion of the "legitimate
rights" of the Palestinians
and wants Jerusalem to be
an international city.
On the other hand, Pope
John Paul II has been a
great humanitarian, sensi-
tive to the needs of the op-
pressed. But on Oct. 2, 1979,
at the United Nations, he
recalled the agony of Au-
schwitz without a reference
to its Jewish victims.

Irving
, Professors
Abella and Harold
Troper of Canada, in
their new book "None Is
Too Many," have de-
scribed th'e callousness of
Canadian government
officials in excluding
Jewish refugees before
and during World War II.
The authors, relying on
unpublished documents and
archives, revealed private
efforts by Canadian leaders
to block immigration of
Jewish refugees - 7n a
"menace" to Canada's
ethnic, social and moral in-
tegrity. In particular, F.C.
Blair of the Immigration
Dept.; Ernest Lapointe, an
associate of the Prime
Minister Mackenzie King;
and Vincent Massey, the
Canadian High Commis-
sioner in London between
1935 and 1946, were ac-
cused.
During that period of
time only 5,000 Jews made
it to Canada . . . compared to
14,000 from Bolivia and
14,000 from Chile.

Did you realize that you
can telephone Israel di-
rectly? First dial 011 or 01,
then Israel's code of 972,
then the city code (Haifa 4,
Jerusalem 2, Ramat Gan 3,
Tel Aviv 3, etc.), and finally
the local telephone number.
Remember that the time
difference is seven hours.
All who have meditated
on the art of governing
mankind have been con- ,
vinced that the fate of em-
pires depends on the educa-
tion of youth.
