Would it be out of order, however, to suggest some supplementary considerations?In quoting from a statement of the Zionist opposition, you reported their planks as follows:*% Establishment of the principle that no Diaspora Jew can in any way control the policies of the new state of Israel.” With every good will to the State of Israel, would it not be equally desirable to establish the principle that the new state of Israel in no way control the policies of what your writer calls the Diaspora Jew?2. Thorough study of the relationship between existing Zionist organizations and the new state of Israel with modification or dissolution of all agencies and organizations likely to be a danger to the full development of internal democratic machinery’ in Israel.” Would it not be similarly appropriate to provide for the dissolution of agencies likely to be a danger to the full development of the democratis integration of Jews outside of the State of Israel?“3. Complete revision of present-day fund raising machinery for Palestine.”Should not such revision provide for a severance between relief Activities and political—for-eign governmental activities?Your story quotes a leader of the opposition group as saying: *‘A situation must never be allowed to develop where even a whisper of suspicion might exist that American Jews were using the dollars they were contributing for Palestine as a lever to influence action in Pal estine.”An admirable J sentiment—towhich I can only Add my fervent hope that a situation must never be allowed to develop where even a whisper of suspicion might exist that the State of Israel is using the sentiments of American Jews as a lever to influence political action in the United States.SIDNEY WAULACHNew York Ed. Note: The depth of American Council For Judaism member Wallach’s good will” toward the new state of Israel can easily be imagined.—B. G.
