U.S. Will Continue Financial Aid to Israel, ike Says
WASHINGTON. UTA) Prcsdlcnt Elacnhouwer indicated In a re- port to Congress on the Mutual Security program that the U. S. Is in¬ clined to continue Its program of financial and technical aid to tho Near East, while "avoiding any unwanted Intcrferiince" in area political disputes.
Regarding these disputes, among which he numbered the Arab. Israel differences, the president said: "We have been ready at all times. however, to aid In finding peaceful solutions, and our good offices have always been available to Interested parties."
On the Arab-Israel problem, the report noted: "There Is the bitter feeling between the Arab nations and Israel. The Arab people feel that Israel will expand to threaten their Interest and territories. The Israelis feel that the Arabs may try io clamp a military vise on their country and ultimately squeeze It out of existence. Animosities are further intenslfind by the Arab refugee  problem."
"DESPITE TIIE heavy frictions within the area," the president said further in his report, "the peoples of the Near East share common aspirations for better living stand¬ ards and these aspirations no longer be ignored. Of course; it la the governments and the peoples themselves who must carry for¬ ward the task of bringing about a better way of life. The U. S., how¬ ever, can offer useful assistance, not with expenditures ot doilars alone, but by demonstrating prac¬ ticable applications of modern knowledge to problems of irriga¬ tion, disease control, food growing, and other specific fields."
The president said Secretary of State Dulles' visit to th.; Near East in May "rhado a deep and favorable impression on Us people." Dulles' "frank and intlniatc discussions with political leaders of each coun¬ try proved fruitful and beneficial to all concerned," the report stated. "We learned much of their point of view, and they In turn became better Informed on U. S, Intentions and attitudes."
or 970,200,000 In special aid funds appropriated by Congress for Israel in the 1953 fiscal year, the report said, the largest portion, $23,000,000, went for foodstuffs. A- bout $11,600,000 waa expended on Irrigation equlpmeint, and for hous¬ ing construction under resettle¬ ment and capital development ex¬ penditures totalled $26,600,000, ac¬ cording to the report.
The report, for six months ended Jaat June 30, In re/erring Co some $60,000,000 made available by Con¬ gress for Palestine refugee relief, mentioned steps being taken by the Egyptian and Syrian Governments towards helping the refugfjea locat¬ ed in their countries.
