Congressman Warns
Against Parliamentarian

Budapest (JTA) — A
visiting American con-
gressman has warned the
Hungarian government
against accepting the fascist,
anti-Semitic ideas of a
leading Hungarian
parliamentarian.
Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif.,
a Jew who immigrated to the
United States from
Hungary, said that Ameri-
can help would be cut off and
tourist contacts would be
endangered if Hungary were
to accept the beliefs of Istvan
Csurka, who is deputy head
of the country's ruling polit-
ical party, the Hungarian
Democratic Forum.
Mr. Lantos spoke at a news
conference held at the
American Embassy. He said
that Mr. Csurka and his
remarks would be discussed
before the U.S. Congress.
Mr. Lantos also called for
Mr. Csurka's dismissal from
Hungarian political life.
Last week, in Magyar
Forum, the newspaper of the
Democratic Forum, Mr.
Csurka openly criticized
Jews throughout the world,
blaming them for
dominating Hungarian po-
litical life.

There was nothing new •
about Mr. Csurka's tirade. •
In January 1990, just as
the country was emerging
from strict Communist rule,
Mr. Csurka made a radio
speech calling on
Hungarians to "wake up" to
the dangers of a "dwarf
minority" that he said
threatened to take control of
the country. He was referr-
ing to Jews.
Last month, he fired a par-
ticularly harsh volley at'
Israel and at the World Jew-
ish Congress.
Mr. Csurka used his
regularly scheduled Sunday
radio program to hurl invec-
tives at Israel and at Jews .
such as Edgar Bronfman,
the Reichmann family and
George Soros.
He also accused Israel of
controlling the Hungarian
media.

Mr. Csurka accused the
WJC, which he called the
"World Federation of (WJCs
President) Bronfman," of
"collecting money for the
running of the Jewish-_,state
and for the war costs," ands
even of fueling anti-
Semitism.

Israel And China
Ink Trade Accord

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel
and the People's Republic of
China initialed a trade
agreement that lowers ad-
ministrative barriers to
mutual commerce and opens
up vast new vistas to Israeli
exporters.
The speed with which the
pact was drafted — in only a
month — was an indication
of China's interest in de-
veloping commercial rela-
tions between the two coun-
tries, said David Koren, di-
rector general of the Israeli
Ministry of Commerce and
Industry.
The announcement follow-
ed reports that Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin was
reconsidering plans to sell
40 Kfir jet planes to Taiwan
because of objections by the
Chinese People's Republic,
which feared the deal would
strengthen its traditional
enemy.
Mr. Koren, who inau-
gurated the trade talks dur-
ing an official visit to Beijing
last month, said the Chinese
are interested in Israeli
technology, industry and
agriculture.

Even before the estab-
lishment of diplomatic ties
in January, Israel and China
were trading partners. Israel -
registered $40 million in ex-
ports to China last year, in-
cluding agricultural and in-
dustrial goods and equip-
ment, as well as arms.
It imported only $4 million
in Chinese goods, mainl
shoes, textiles, pencils and
other light industrial goods.
The accord was initialed
two weeks before El Al's
scheduled launching of_
direct flights from Tel Aviv
to Beijing.
On Sept. 3, El Al Flight
095 extended the flight
map of Israel's national
airline eastward in a non-
stop, 101/2-hour flight to the
Chinese capital, passing
over Russia and the now- in-.
dependent states of the
former Soviet Union.
The airline expects to fly
7,000 passengers to Beijing
in the first year of operations
— the vast majority of them •
Israelis and Westerners .
visiting China, with very
few Chinese taking advan-
tage of the flights initially.
