Almost 49,000 Jews re- side in Mexico City, with its current population of more than 15 million. The re- maining 1,000 reside in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Tiajuana. Despite the crisis besetting the country, the Mexico City Jewish community manages to maintain most cordial and positive ties with govern- ment officials from the President down, the power- ful labor confederations, and non-Jewish Mexicans in general. The pride and joy of the community is its Jewish •Sports Center, which has no less than 23,000 members and contains every facility imaginable. A logistical problem faced every. Sunday is getting to the center: one has to rise bright and early for a day's fun and frolic without having to park some miles away. Bernardo Weitzner, president of the Central Committee of Mexican Jewry, a body that acts as liaison with the govern- ment and with interna- tional Jewish organiza- tions, revealed that lead- ers of the Jewish com- munity have met twice with the new President, Miguel de la Madrid, who impressed them as being "most realistic and defi- nitely able to take the proper steps to cope with the problems he has inh- erited from his predeces- sor, Lopez Portillo." "We are optimistic that, under his leadership, we will recover from the pre- sent economic slump, and we will be able to do even more for Israel in the fu- ture," Weitzner said. With the devaluation of the peso from 24 to- the dol- lar, roughly a year ago, to its current 150 pesos to the dollar, many JewiSh enterprises have come to a grinding halt, Weitzner said. The ability of Jews to travel abroad, and espe- cially to Israel, has suffered accordingly. Weizner noted that Mexico sells oil to Israel, has a sizeable export and import program with the Holy Land, and promotes considerable cultural inter- changes on a professional level. He expects the cur- rent president to maintain a friendly attitude toward the government of Israel de- spite any pressures that may emanate from Arab countries. The Palestine Libera- tion Organization opened an office in Mexico City in 1979, but despite the propaganda it churns out regularly, the vast major- ity of Mexicans are unaf- fected and unimpressed, Eban Quoted according to Weitzner. Mexico City Jews are proud of their own school system, which has very di- rect links with Israel. There is a Jerusalem Program for students finishing junior high school, in which they visit Israel for four to six weeks. Upon their comple- tion of high school, a great number go to Israel for six to nine months to work on a kibutz. After such an ex- perience, many elect to stay and to become citizens of their ancestral land. Apparently, there is no significant degree of anti- Semitism in the city. There was a brief flare-up after the fighting in Lebanon, with the local PLO office playing a role, . JERUSALEM (JNI) — Member of Knesset and former Foreign Minister Abba Eban has become the first Israeli to be quoted in the British "Dictionary Of Contemporary Quotations." The volume includes Eban's definition of prop- aganda, "the art of convinc- ing others of what one does not necessarily believe one- self," and his comment, "Men and nations some- times behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives."
