Yadin Tells Effect of
War in Korea on Israel
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel’s
military situation was aggrevated
following the outbreak of hostili
ties in Korea and Israel was sub*
sequently compelled to take all
precautionary measures to pre
pare for any eventuality, Brig.
Yigal Yadin, Chief of Staff, told
the concluding session of the con
ference of Israel’s top diplomats
from more than a dozen countries.
Earlier, Premier David Ben
Gurion presented an overall re
view of the Jewish state’s political,
military and economic problems.
Several of the ministers will leave
for their posts soon, following a
tour of the new state, beginning
at once. A review of the problems
facing the Jewish Agency in the
resettlement of newly—arrived
immigrants in Israel was present
ed by Raanan Weitz, of the
Agency’s settlement department.
Brig. Yadin’s report to the
diplomats was given during a dis
cussion of Israel’s peace efforts
and its neighbors’ attitude toward
Arab preparations for a seebnd
round of warfare against the new
state. It is understood that Brig.
Yadin outlined the structure of
the Israel Army and the problems
of the new state’s armed forces in
view of Israel’s unfixed borders,

which, he stressed, demand ex
treme watchfulness in view of the
Arabs attempts to infiltrate the
border not only for smuggling
purposes, but also for the delivery
of arms and the entry of fifth
columnists.
The formation of regional blocs
of nations and Israel’s attitude to
ward such blocs in the event that
they are formed was discussed
earlier at the eighth meeting of
the conference of Israel diplomats
assigned to various countries.
One of the most important prob
lems considered was the question
of reconsidering the Israel posi
tion on the Italian colonies. The
discussion on this issue centered
about the likelihood of Israel’s re
versing itself. At the last U. N.
General Assembly session Israel
voted to turn *over territory it
holds to a U. N. trusteeship. How
ever, in view of Israel’s exper
iences with the Jerusalem issue,
the Jewish diplomats doubt that
any state can be compelled to
turn over territory it holds to a
U. N. trust body.
The diplomats also recommend
ed that the government propose to
the United Nations Conciliation
Commission on Palestine, which is
returning here next week, that it
discontinue its attempts at con
ciliation in view of its record of
failure. The meeting was opened
by Foreign Minister Moshe Shar-
ett and was attended by Berl
Locker, Jewish Agency head in
Jerusalem.
