Acting Premier Sharett Says Israel
Is Ready for Peace With Arabs
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — In his
first press conference as Acting
Premier of Israel who is seeking
to set up a new Cabinet, Moshe
Sharett pointed out that whatever
government emerges from the pre
sent negotiations, it will have to
continue and develop further “the
great work achieved under the in
spired leadership of David Ben
Gurion.” He said the two major
tasks facing the new govern
ment would be the fullest possi
ble development and utilization of
the country’s potential resources
and the economic, social and
erriritual integration of the hun
dreds of thousands of newcomers.
A major problem to be inherited
by the new government, he point
ed out, was Israel's relations with
the Arab states surrounding it. He
declared that "the conclusion of
a permanent peace between us
depends on them alone. We, for
our part, are always ready for it
and I can only express the hope
that the counsels of peace will
sooner or later prevail against the
hatred and prejudice of the ruling
classes of the neighboring'Arab
lands to the benefit of us all ir
the Middle East and as a contri
bution to worldwide peace and
stability.”

Letter to Editor
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Edtior:
I am enclosing my article about
I ho Mississippi Southern College
which appeared in the Jewish
Daily Forward of Sunday, Dec. 6,
1953. This article, in addition to
being an independent research,
was partly based on the editorials
and letters wheih appeared over
a period of time in The Southern
Israelite.
The article takes into considera
tion the fine record in human re
lations of Mississippi Southern
and dwells upon the warmth of
the Jewish community in this
small town. It also joins you in
appealing to Jewish society, and
especially to some competent Jew
ish organization, to establish a
scholarship fund for needy Jewish Mitzvah recently at the B’nai
students at this school—in token j B ’rith j aco b Synagogue,
of “recognition.”

The resolution requested that
i contributors make full payment
of their pledges before the end of
this year and urged the commu
nities to pay in full, all outstand-
\ ing amounts on account of allo-
i ciations to the UJA for 1953 and
prior years.
The delegates also adopted a
: resolution expressing “warm af
fection and high esteem” of David
Ben Gurion on the occasion of his
I retirement as Israel’s Premier,
j “We view with admiration the
great strides which Israel has
made during his tenure in indus
try, agriculture, settlement and
development of every sort,” the
resolution said. “It is our hope
that he may find renewed strength
in the rest which he has so richly
earned; that many more years of
good health and happiness may
be granted to him and that his
; wise counsel may continue to be
| available to his people.”
Leon Keyserling, who served as

Truman’s Council of Economic
Advisors, forecast that the year

creased support of the United Jew
ish Appeal. He told the delegates
that “even though we have been
generous in the past, the level of
our giving has been far short of
I Israel’s needs.”
Other speakers at the three-
day conference included Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, William Rosen-
wald, Rudolf Sonneborn, Morris
