Israel economist
David Horowitz
JERUSALEM (JTA) Funeral
services were held last Sunday for
David Horowitz, one of Israel’s
leading economists, who died in
Jerusalem Friday, Aug. 10. He was
80 years old. Horowitz was the first
governor of the Bank of Israel, and
for years one of the top economic
advisors to the government.
Horowitz was associated with
the economics of the Jewish
“yishuv” in Palestine much before
there was the Bank of Israel or
even the State of Israel. He arrived
in Palestine at the end of World
War 1 as a halutz. While emerging
as one of Israel's leading
economists, he also developed a
world status as a economist and
humanitarian He won world fame
when he developed the “Horowitz
Plan" for international aid to
underdeveloped countries.
Between 1935 and 1948 he
served as director of the economic
department of the Jewish Agency,
the yishuv’s Ministry of Finance. It
was very much due to him that
following World War II the yishuv
emerged with a modern economy
which made it ready to face the
challenges of independence. With
tjie establishment of the State on
May 14, 1948, Horowitz became
the first Director General of the
Finance Ministry.

larger State Department pattern.”
The Conference of Presidents
has undertaken a national
campaign urging the United Stales
Jewish community to make known
to the White House the deepening
concern about the current trend of
American Middle East policy. The
campaign’s theme. Mann says, is
“No appeasement of PLO terror,
no surrender to Arab blackmail."
Adding to suspicion that United
States policy is changing was
acknowledgement by the State
Department Wednesday that
Milton A. Wolf, the United States
Ambassador to Austria, had held
an unauthorized meeting recently
with a PLO official in Vienna
Wolf, a prominent figure in
Cleveland's Jewish community,
was not reprimanded for his
contact with the PLO, a State
Department spokesman said, but
was “reminded" of American
policy.
Until Israel’s Ambassador to the
United Nations Yehuda Blum
confronted Ambassador Young
with knowledge that the
controversial meeting had taken
place and that it was not purely
social in nature, the State
Department was insisting that
nothing substantive had taken

place.
At a press conference Tucdsay,
Blum commented on his 90 minute
meeting with Young Monday
night. Blum said he pointed out to
Young recent “disturbing” events
which have worried Israel. He said
this included the dispute over
placing the United Nations Truce
Supervisory Organization
(UNTSO) in Sinai and a recent
statement by Young calling Terzi a
“decent man.”
Blum said he mentioned other
“inaccuracies," such as a statement
by Young comparing the Israeli
bombing of terrorist bases in south
Lebanon to U.S. bombings in
Vietnam, and another statement
by Young referring to “seven
million homeless Palestinians.”
“All that has happened in recent
months is highly disturbing to
Israel,” Blum said. Noting that
there have been reports of
changes in U.S. policy toward the
PLO, Blum mentioned the
“rumors about a change in Resolution
242.” As far as Israel is concerned,
Resolution 242 contains an
“exhaustive list of all the elements
needed for peace in the Middle
East" and any additional elements
would only upset the "delicate
balance” of the resolution, Blum
stressed.
