Mr. Eban added that Israel’s first
bond issue, launched in this coun
try in May 1951, brought $160,-
000,000 in new capital to the Jew
ish State.
The Israel diplomat scored what
he described as “international in
dulgence to the Arab policy of re
gional hostility." He said that signs
mark I of reduced tension in other sectors
of the world are not evident in
Arab policy “which finds itself
increasingly out of harmony with
the conciliatory atmosphere of
contemporary international rela
tions.”
Referring to Syrian opposition
to Israel’s Jordan River project,
Mr. Eban noted that “the Security
Council’s ban on blockade prac
tices is defied without evoking
protest or pressure, while the same
Council’s explicit encouragement
of development work, provided
land rights are respected, is re
pudiated at the first clatter of
Syrian threat.”

U. S. Treasury Secretary, warned

Born in Russia Dr. Goldmann at

his secular education in Germany
obtaining Doctorates in Law and
Philosophy from three Universi

and the Revisionists. It has no of
ficial connection with Israel, but
its work today, deals chiefly with
the collection of Zionist funds and
world-wide Jewish education.
After the vicissitudes of a life
time’s dedication to the Zionist
cause, Dr. Goldmann crowned his
career with the recent signing of
the German Reparations Treaty.
The agreement called for the pay- k
ment of $800 millions in German
goods to Israel over a spaced per
iod of twelve years. The negotia
tions were long and protracted,
and the need for Premier Aden
auer to obtain the consent of all
the German parties in Parliament,
added to the difficulties. Rarely in
history, have a landless minority
received similiar compensation
from a vanquished nation. Dr.
Goldmann’s persistence and per
severance, plus his years of expe
rience in international parlies,
paid off handsomely. President
Irving Miller of the Z.O.A.. recent
ly said, that world Jewry has yet
to come to a fuller appreciation
and understanding of Dr. Gold
mann’s signal achievement.
Not known to many, is the fact,
that Dr. Goldmann is a Life Mem
ber of the Zionist Organization of
America. Along with the late Dr.
Stephen S. Wise, he helped found
the World Jewish Congress, and
upon the latter’s death, he suc
ceeded to the world Presidency.
He has just returned from Geneva,
Switzerland, where that group re
cently met. Dr. Goldmann speaks
half a dozen European languages
fluently.
