appreciative of every kindness
shown them. Their persistence in
reaching Israel despite every SEEM
ingly insurmountable obstacle con-
vinced Resner that they would be
excellent new citizens of Israel
and so they have proven to be.
RESNER TRAVELLED through
North Africa and most of the Arab
states surrounding Israel, and
everywhere he found the Jewish
communities living on sufferance.
Although in many cases the Jews
had lived in the country longer than
had the native population, they
were everywhere second class cit
izens and in some places actually
in danger of determination.
He visited the notorious ghettos
of Casablanca and Tripoli, as well
as such lesser-known, isolated Jew
ish settlements as those situated
on the island of Djerba, off the
coast of Tunisia, and in the under
ground caves of Garian in northern
| Lydia. He was amazed, as are we,
to find these Jews still determined
| ly practicing their religion, in the
| face of centuries of Moslem per-
secution. Their faith alone has
sustained them, there is no doubt,
for their physical lot is as miser-
able as one can imagine.
In recent years, the Joint Distri-
| button Committee has given them
temporary relief = little food,
some clothing, and medical care
but no long-range Improvement is
to be expected. The governments
involved have been Indifferent to
their situation, if not actually hos
tile; the masses of the people, illit-
crate and themselves proverty-
stricken, are eager for a scapegoat;
and the United Nations gives no
promise of help for the Jewish
minorities.
Israel is their only hope. But
they must wait their turn to leave
for Israel must first accept and
integrate other entire communities
which will have perhaps only this
one chance to emigrate.
The Jews of the Middle East will
all one day come to Israel, provid-
ing their governments still permit
their emigration and their fellow
Jews in better circumstances give
Israel the help she needs to inte-
CRATE them. The problems, both
social and economic, will be great
but after reading Resner's book
one feels no doubt as to their
eventual solution.
A scattered, impoverished, perse.
cuted community of Jews has re-
mained alive through 20 centuries
and more, and one feels that they
will not be denied their right tc
live, united, in the land of Israel as
Jews and as free men.

Root Of the Matter

part of the ZOA to conduct a
"Food for Israel" campaign.
The Jewish Agency insists that
such campaign solves no perma-
nent problem and may harm cur
rent campaigns for the UJA as
we'll as the Israel Bond campaign.
Since the ZOA endorsed the APPOINT
program for Israel, it will be Of in
terest to watch developments in
the GOOD Drive" issue.
THE WHOLE community is
pleased with the results of the Red
Feather Fund campaign which re-
Gently went over the top for the
first time in its history. There
was no magic formula by which
this was done. This writer, serv-
ing as the secretary for Dave
Bush's Central Division, was in a
position close enough to the struc-
ture of the campaign to be able to
report effectively.
The factors that went into the
success of the Red Feather effort
were the same as those which go
into any successful effort: hard
work, realistic giving and follow
through.
The publicity on the campaign
was very good, but this alone can
never bring in money. The pub
licity stimulated workers more
than it did givers. The workers
kept on the job until it was done.
Phoenix has proved for all time
that the money is here if only
people can be kept working until
it is all gathered.
There is a lesson here for the
United Jewish Welfare Fund Cam
paign and we have learned it and
are attempting to put it into prac-
tice: get plenty of workers and
don't give any one worker too much
to do. Every person involved in
our Welfare Fund campaign thus
far is convinced that if we stay on
the job and see every prospect,
telling our story effectively, the
Phoenix Jewish Welfare Fund can
also go over the top in 1862.

proposed Middle East Comand.
Harvey P. Hall, chief of publica-
tions of the Middle East Institute,
has publicly referred to "the solu-
tion" being put forth by the Arabs
and their fellow-travelers. They
say the reason the Moslem distrust
America is because "Israel is a
creature of the United States" in
their view. Proof of the alleged
favoritism shown the Jews over the
Arabs, they say, may be found in
the extent of governmental finan-
cial support extended to Israel by
the United States.
Therefore, they say, if America
is to obtain goodwill and co-opera-
ton from the Arabs, our country
must first prove its impartiality by
limiting aid to Israel. This would
allegedly show that American love
for Israel is no greater than our
love for the Arabs. 1t is pointed
out that, on a per capital basis,
Israel benefited much more from
the Mutual Security Act of 1861
than did the Arabs (failing, of
course, to take into account the ex-
tenuating circumstances).
HALL SPOKE BEFORE forum
audience at George Washington
University. He said that an idea
has been advanced that the United
States should not only put limit
on aid to Israel but should make
it perfectly clear why we are do
ing it," He stressed that the Ar
abs are a proud people and that
their feelings have been hurt.
The remedy suggested, he said,
would be to "cut off collections and
appropriations" for Israel to "dem-
onstrate to the Arabs that we re-
gard Israel as an independent coun-
try which can stand on its own
feet" He suggested that this would
disprove the Arab idea that Is
rael is an American colonial out
post.
The theme was something like
this: eve can count on Israel as
safely in the bag as democratic
outpost in the Middle East, there
fore we must turn our attention to
the winning of the Arab states on
which we can't rely"
Through such sophistry some
people would betray the struggling
democracy which is surrounded by
the anti-democratic Arab League.

that are working have been en-

On the theory that a good work
er in the campaign is one who has
himself made a generous contribu-
tion, workers have been encouraged
at all meetings to discuss and make
their own contributions. Thus far
these have resulted in 20 per
cent increase over last year.
There are some voices in the
community clamoring for "name
speaker" who will come to Phoenix
to stimulate the giving at large
public meetings. The campaign
committee has been in constant
communication with the UJA Of
fices trying to work out visit to
Phoenix of some prominent person
ality. The costs of such visits to
Phoenix are so large that in some
cases it is prohibitive to bring a
Quentin Reynolds or Sen. Wayne
Morse.
Furthermore, while it is true
that such personalities bring out
fairly substantial crowds, it is not
true that justifiably large sums of
money are raised as result of
their coming. Most of the money
that is announced at such meet
ing is usually raised beforehand.
Actually very little new money re-
suits, although the publicity of the
visit is good for other campaign
purposes.
ONE OF THE most heartening
developments has been the readi-
ness on the part of campaigning
groups in the community to desist
from their efforts during the per-
iod. of the Welfare Fund campaign.
This is not so true of certain ma
tional organizations, notably the
Zionist Organization of America.

tween the Jewish Agency and the
Zionist Organization, referred to

Ferguson Urges u. 5.
To End Ties al Once
With All Red Nations
by the Associoied Press

Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan called today for i'm
mediate severance of diplomatic
relations with Russia and all her
satellite nations.
I'VE should break of relations
until these Communists learn
how to live properly in the free
worlds family Of nations" Sena-
tor Ferguson said.
The Michigan lawmaker ex-
pressed his views in commenting
on reports-conflrmed by the
State Department yesterday-that
the United States is reviewing the
question Of whether to close all
American embassies in Russian
satellite countries.
s. I'VE should close them all right,
but we should go further and
sever all diplomatic relations with
the satellite iron curtain nations
and Russia ITSELF" Senator Fer
guSon said. eve should insist
that the embassies and consulates
all those countries maintain in
the United States be shut down
Immediately"
Senators Sparkman, Democrat,
Of Alabama. Morse, Republican, of
Oregon and H. Alexander Smith,
Republican, Of New Jersey said
the idea of closing American en-
bassies in the satellite countries
merits careful study.
Senator Ferguson said he had
concluded "our embassies in Rus
sia and these Red dominated
countries are not functioning as
embassies at all in the usual
sense" He said American per-
|sonnel stationed in those nations
actually are the prisoners of
Communism and can't serve ef-
fectively In any listening post
capacity.
by closing the embassies and
consulates Russia and her Satel-
lites have in this country we would
get rid of a lot of spies the Com
munists have sent here. The good
that would result from such a
move would far outweigh any dis
advantage to u.s." Senator Fergu-
son declared.
Senator Smith said, "I certainly
would like to see the question re-
viewed because I think we are
being played for suckers in a lot
of these iron curtain countries.
But we ought not to just dive in
and close up shop before all as
poets Of the situation have been
carefully explored"
