Friday, February 3, 1%1 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.

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.
