UNITED NATIONS (WUP) —
Following three weeks of perio
dic sessions witnessing a Soviet-
Arab attempt to whitewash and
kill an Israeli complaint against
unoeasing Syrian murders of Is
raelis, the Security Council last
week reached the stage of deci
sion and took a vote on a six-
power resolution which, among
other things, “invited the Gov
ernment of Syria to strengthen its
measures for preventing incidents
that constitute a violation of the
General Armistice Agreement.”
Although a majority of ten—
Uganda, Nigeria, New Zealand,
Japan, Argentina, the Nether
lands, the United States, the Unit
ed Kingdom, France and Uruguay
—voted for the resolution which
had been inspired by Ambassa
dor Kironde of Uganda, the Soviet
Union vetoed it (its 104th veto).
Voting against it also were Jor
dan Mali and Bulgaria; China ab
stained.
Despite the veto, the Israelis
viewed the outcome as a victory,
a moral victory bound to have
a powerful international impact
in the understanding of Israel’s
case against Syria.
Throughout the debate, Israel’s
Ambassador Michael Comay dis
tinguished himself with presen
tations clearly proving Syria’s in
volvement in the guerrilla on
slaughts on the Jewish State.
His concluding speech follow
ing the vote will assuredly stand
out as a historic record as well as
a challenge to the United Na
tions not to shirk its Charter

David Weinstein, president of the

cago, will deliver an address on

Learning.”
Following the plenary session,
Dr. Weinstein will conduct two
seminars, amplifying his ideas
and approaches for teachers in

Jewish Religious Schools.
In addition, a seminar will be
conducted by Larry Schwartz, di
rector of education, the Temple,
on “Teaching Techniques in the
Primary Grades of the Religious
School.”
The program also includes a
panel discussion on “The Place of
the Jewish Community in the
Curriculum of the Religious
School.” Members of the panel

Greenberg.
Sunday night, Nov. 20, Dr.
David Weinstein will address a
special meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Atlanta Bureau
of Jewish Education in the home

1567 Knob Hill Drive, N. E. His
topic will be “A Sense of Great

On the second day of the con
ference, rabbis, principals and
Hebrew teachers will meet at 10
a. m. at the Ahavath Achim Syn
agogue to participate in a sem

duties. While hailing those del
egations which upheld the cause
of justice, he puts the Soviets to
shame, the Arabs to ridicule.
“On October 12,” the Israeli
ambassador said, “the Govern
ment of Israel asked the Security
Council to intervene urgently in
a situation which has become
tense and ominous. Armed groups
were penetrating our territory at
night from across the border,
dynamiting our houses and instal
lations, laying landmines on the
roads, and even as we have seen
recently, trying to blow up trains.
It was clear that these were not
sporadic and unrelated incidents
carried out by individuals, but a
series of destructive raids organ
ized and directed from a central
authority . . .
“It has been clear that the raids
originated in Syria and were aid
ed and abetted by the Syrian au
thorities. In fact, Syria publicly
identified itself with this violence.
Through the utterances of Syrian
political and military leaders, the
government media in Damascus,
the acts of sabotage have been
glorified, and have been present
ed as the opening phase of a so-
called “popular war” aimed at
another UN member-State . . .
“From the beginning of the de
bate, most members of the Coun
cil were deeply concerned about
its implications for the peace and
security of the area.
“Two central elements have
emerged in the debate. One is the
recognition that we were faced
with an organized pattern of gu-
errila activity, with which Syrian
territory is connected the sec
ond element was that the
Government of Syria had to ful
fill its obligations under the
Charter, and its specific commit
ments under the 1949 Armistice
Agreement by preventing such
acts of violence. A number of
Council members insisted rightly
that this was a governmental res
ponsibility which could on no ac
count be repudiated or shirk
ed .. .
“My Government has taken
note of the clear and forthright
response to its complaint in many
statements made in the debate.
That response was reflected in
two resolutions, one of which has
now been supported by ten mem
bers of the Council, though its
formal adoption has been pre
vented by the veto. The central
theme of both resolutions was the
deploring by the Council of the
incidents which have been the
subject of this debate, and the loss
of human life and casualties
caused by these attacks; and sec
ondly, the need for action on the
part of Syria to prevent such In
cidents in the future.
“My delegation is interested to
note that the significance of the
resolution was understood by
those to whom it was addressed.
It is unusual for our view to coin
cide with that of the Syrian del
egation—but on this occasion I
find myself in agreement with
what was said by the Ambassa
dor of Syria, namely, that •Syria
is being admonished, that Syria
is being blamed for not having
taken the necessary measures In
preventing incidents ... *
“The Israel complaint against
Syria has thus been vindicated
in its essential and substantive
aspects. The fact that even such
a moderate resolution has been
prevented by a veto does not de
tract from the political and moral
weight behind the findings of fact
and the fixing of responsibility.
This broad expression of inter
national opinion is underlined by
the fact that the majority sup
porting the resolution is made up
of Council members from all the
five continents, including three of
the Big Powers who are perman
ent members ...
“It is regrettable that a per
manent member of the CVwmoil
should have bean opposed to a
Draft Resolution an a matter so
obviously involving peace and se
curity. Moreover, tbs raaolution
was couched in the spirit of non
intervention, peaceful co-cnrie-
tenee and respect for interna
tional obligations. It is vital for
these principles to be applied to
the troubled Middle East. This re
fusal to allow the majority’s view
to be formally adopted does not
contribute to the reduction of
tension in the Middle East nor to
the furtherance of co-operation
and peaceful co-existence ...”
As for Ambassador Arthur
Goldberg as president of these
concluding sessions of the Coun
cil, this writer wishes to note that
he handled himself magnificently
in the true spirit of a Supreme
Court Justice.
