Arabs Threaten Swiss
Firm for Using Star
Of David as Trade Mark
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
historic six-point Star of David
is now on the Arab League’s
boycott. A Swiss watch com
pany, Ardath, which has been
using the Star of David as a
trade emblem for many years,
has received an inquiry from
the Arab League’s anti-Israel
boycott committee, asking whe
ther the emblem has any con
nection with Israel.
The boycott committee de
mands that Ardath eliminate its
years-old emblem, threatening
that, otherwise, the firm’s
watches will be banned from
import into Arab countries.

BEHIND UN SCENES—by David Horowitz
7 f
Gigantic Pro-Arab U.S. Machine
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP) —
Critics of alleged Zionist propa
ganda in the United States
would do well to read the an
nual report of the “American
Friends of the Middle East" —
widely circulated here at the
UN among delegates and the
press—and learn of a vast pro-
Arab machine, highly developed
and backed by a half-million
dollar budget, which now runs
through the U.S. like an intri
cate network of road communi
cations.
The Report, issued and signed
by the President of the organ
ization, Harold B. Minor, a
former U.S. Ambassador to Le
banon, shows that the organiza
tion has acquired a virtual in
doctrination monopoly of the
Middle East students now get
ting their schooling in Ameri
can universities and colleges.
The organization describes its
objective’ as one which uses
“selected data” to inspire “the
pursuit of peace through the
nurturing of amicable relations
with the nations of the Middle
East.” This, of course, does -not
include Israel, since it now has
offices in all Arab states and
even in Iran and as far as Pak
istan, but none in Israel. Nor
does the movement’s program
actually seek “peace,” since,
from its very inception, it has
been critical of Israel, pandering
to Arab prejudices on what is
the biggest “peace” problem in
the Middle East, according to all
the highest official evaluations.
As a matter of fact, the Re
port—while avoiding the all-out
open Israeli antipathy of the
days of Dorothy Thompson’s
Presidency when the so-called
“dual loyalty” of American Jews
was challenged—makes it very
clear that an Israeli-Arab peace
is one thing that should be
kept in the deep freeze. It
quotes Ike’s Minister, the Rev.
Edward L. R. Elson, Chair
man of its board of direc
tors, as follows: “In the light of
recent events, ‘it is probably
more important to keep the
Arabs and Israel apart than try
to bring them together in direct
negotiations . . .’” This is the
man with whom Eisenhower
worships. Of course, the Minis
ter has no objection to having
the UN make “a new” study of
boundaries, waterways resources
and other factors. That is, to
redraw the map that would
shrink Israel down to one-third
or half of her present size—the
Arab demand.
nels graduate students to good
jobs of oil and other U.S. com
panies in the Arab States.
Its hold on the whole student
exchange traffic between the
U.S. and the Arab States is a
virtual monopoly and in Iran
the Ministry of Education this
year ruled that no student will
be given a passport without a
letter from AFME vouching for
his qualifications.
AFME is not only far removed
from Israel. It is running askew
of the U.S. foreign policy vis-
a-vis the Arabs. For example, it
sponsors the-unity of the Arab
states to save it from Commun
ism, while Western policy bat
tles to keep such a union from
emerging via Nasser “under
whose alert leadership” the or
ganization’s Cairo director
thinks progress can be made.
One of its Board of Directors,
Earl Butning, former President
of the National Chamber of
Commerce, thinks that “invest
ment of American capital in the
Middle East will hasten stabili
ty.” Other big businessmen who
participated in the organization’s
campaign or serve on its Board
of Directors with contributions
are the President of the Union
Tank Car Company, the Chair
man of the Board of General
Mills; Executives from the Oil
Consortium of Iran and the In
ternational Division of the Min
nesota Mining and Manufactur
ing Company; a Chicago Invest
ment banker, a former execu
tive of Dupont and an executive
of Aramco.
There is, of course, every rea
son in the world why friendship
and better understanding should
be developed between the
American and Middle Eastern
peoples—but certainly not at
the expense of Israel by sub-
misson to Arab policies.
Counterpart of the regional
offices in the Arab states —
where the “Friends” screen U.S-
bound students—is a network
of offices in the U.S., in the
Midwest, on the East and West
