The Phoenix Jewish news., 1954-09-30

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - The
British governments decision to
lift its three-year- embargo on
arms shipments to Egypt was
hailed by state department
sources here.
These sources, which were en-
phatic on the need to arm the
Arab League states, indicated that
the state department felt that
it was enough to obtain "assur-
anceS" from the Arabs that they
would not use such arms aggres-
sively.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for
the Egyptian embassy here pre-
dicted that negotiations in Cairo
for the granting of American
military aid to Egypt would be
completed in about a week. He
said that with such new American
weapons, Egypt might expand its
army to 100000 men within year
Shuns Pressure
In an interview published in a
recent issue of us. News and
World Report, Premier Canal Alb
del NasSer of Egypt demanded
that the United States supply
Egypt with arms, but expressed

could be no thought of information
alizing it, and why the Israeli is
willing to put up with much incon-
venience and public censure. He,
too, feels there is no Israel without
Jerusalem.
There is a tranquil beauty about
the Eternal City, a feeling that
you absorb from the atmosphere
1 can even share the resentment OF
the Israeli at being deprived of the
Old City. For, without having seen
it, I now understand that it is an
indivisible part of the life and
history of the Jew. 1t is unrealistic
to separate the two. How can the
one be defended militarily against
the other, for example, when yo1
can reach out from a car and
touch the Jordan border in many
places?
ON OUR WAY to Jerusalem, we
stopped at a beautiful small klb-
butz- Maaleh Hamisha Chill OF the

by it's residents in order to retain
the character of KibbutZ.
About Is years old, it is situated

product is fruit trees; which grow
in the rocky soil. Its people, in

CARDS a prior settlement of the
Israel question. We will settle
that problem ourselves" he in
sisted.
Opposition to the arming of Arab
League states under present cir
cumstances was reiterated here
by Israel diplomats. An Israel
source said that in any case, as
a prerequisite to the sending OF
arms, the Western nations should
first require Egypt to lift its anti
Israel blockade Of the Suez Canal.
