BEHIND UN SCENES-—by David Horowitz
B. G. and Migration
THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
UNITED NATIONS <WUP)
Apart from the Zionist aspect of
Ins speech, Premier David Ben-
Gurion’s demand for stepped-up
emigration to Israel is running
into a foul world atmosphere.
B.G. pointed his finger at the
Soviet Union and the North Afri
can states. But here at tthe UN
there are trends which show that
he is not going to do much better
with Western support for the un
fettered right of migration
The unhappy fact is that the
cold war is getting colder — or
hotter. Governments, especially
the Big Powers, are soft-pedalling
on the “right of everyone to leave
any country, including his own,
and to return to his own.”
This trend became evident here
during the opening week of the
meeting of the now-famous UN
f Sub-Commission on Prevention
of Discrimination and Protection
of Minorities. The issue is a ma
jor one on the Sub-Commission’s
agenda. Here the British and the
U S. members quickly join with
the USSR and Poland in assert
ing the restrictive rights of gov
ernments against the UN’s unre-
strictive rights as specified in the
UN Declaration of Human Rights.
In fact, the U S. representative,
John M. Raymond, virtually join
ed with the expert from the UAR
against the application of this
right to mass migration — a point
vainly pleaded for by the spokes
man of the World Jewish Con
gress, Dr. Maurice Pearlzweig,
who drew attention to the prob
lem created in countries where
the exercise of the right to leave
was in effect prohibited to every
one.
However, when it is recalled
that it was the West which initi
ated this issue in order to em
barrass the Communist states on
their restrictions, it becomes dif
ficult indeed to understand the
present shameful retreat on its
part on this vital issue of human
rights.
This retreat by most govern
ments was reflected in the first
report on the subject by Judge
Jose D. Ingles, Philippine mem
ber on the Sub-Commission and
its current chairman. Judge In
gles complained how few gov
ernments cooperated in answer
ing his questionnaire. The un
favorable trend was further re
flected in the Secretariat’s refusal
to give Ingles any more funds to
secure the information from other
sources — and the Secretariat is
a good straw to show government
trends.
In fact, of the fourteen experts
on the Sub-Commission, only two
— India and Uruguay — defend
ed this UN right; and this in a
U.S. Jewish Groups
Oppose Federal Aid
To Church Schools
NEW YORK (JTA)—Five ma
jor national Jewish organizations
took issue vigorously with Cardi
nal Spellman’s demand for fed
eral aid for church schools. In a
statement, the American Jewish
Congress, the Jewish Labor Com
mittee, the Jewish War Veterans
of the U.S A., the Union of Ameri
can Hebrew Congregations and
the United Synagogue of America
said that such aid would violate
the U.S. Constitution.

group where the ratio for rights
is usually the reverse.
What has happened 9
Why is the Free World getting
cold on this “freedom?” The an
swer is all too crushingly simple.
Cold war politics! The USSR, and
now Morocco and Tunisia, are
aligned with the Arab Middle
East. Even Israel’s best African
friends — Ghana, Guinea and
Mali — joined in the Casablanca
resoultion branding Israel a
“Zionist imperialist.” This came
as a great shock to Jerusalem.
The West is girding for an in
tensified cold war — Laos, Al
geria, the Congo, Cuba, Berlin.
A free hand must be had to con
trol the movements and migra
tions of peoples — a wartime
practice.
Thus the world atmosphere is
indeed a murky one for move
ment and travel. Zionism may
be the greatest sufferer. The
tragic downing of forty-two Mo
roccan Jews shows that Jewish
agencies are fully aware of this
basic fact It is to be hoped that
it will not be necessary to turn
the clock back to the days of
World War II and the immediate
post-war period when human
beings had to be smuggled from
p^ace to place and to uncertain
destinies because of such govern
mental restrictions on travel
which the UN Sub-Commission
is endeavoring to repeal but is
faced with a deadlock due to the
ever-threatening cold war.

drama of “Exodus” be written?
