Highlights From Ben-Gurion's Speeches
NEW YORK  (AJP)—The following are some of the high- Ughta  from the  several  speeches Prime Minister David  Ben- Gurion delivered in his whirlwind tour of New York City last / week:
• Without a Messlanlao vision there can be no successful Israel.
• A strong Judaism tn the Diaspora is imperative.
• Jewish seminary students should i^nd a year in Israel as part of their studies.
• Israel is destined to become a "Light unto the Nations."
• Jews In Qaluth have split personalities.
• CaUed himself a "Jew without an adjective" following his visit of the three New York headquarters of Orthodox, Conserva¬ tive and Reform movements.
• Singled out Brandies and Stephen Wise as the twp greatest American Jews whom he had known.
• No one man can take the credit for the miracle of larael. It is the work of a -collection of three generation of Jews, In fact, the work of all generations of Jews.
• Declared Jews UVed in Israel before Abraham.
• Americans must treat Africans and Asians as equals or lose tl^em In tbe cold war.
• Enviaioned one million Jews eniigrating from the USSR to Israel In the next decade.
• Spinoza was the greatest Jewish thinker of modern times;
• Israel, a new center for science, Is bringing honor to Jews the world over.
• Slnol brought us new friends in Asia and -Africa.
• Philosophized on "waste lands in human souls" whloh he said was more dangerous than waste lands on eaith and more difficult to solve.
• Highly praised Israel's youths who "are well trained for everything." But he hoped "they won't have to fight," but!, "If they must, they will win." ,
• Speaking of five million Jews in America, he said "we want only one per cent, biit tbe best."
ance as that," R. A. Allan, Foreign Offloe Undersecretary, told the Parliament
The assurance was asked by Dingle Foot, a Laborite, who wanted to know what requests the British Government had re' ceived for the sale or transfer of rockets or other arms to Israel.
AIXEN RBPLIBD that as a matter of general principle, the government felt it was not in public Interest to disclose whether requests for arms had been re¬ ceived from other governments or to state the extent, if any, to which particular requests would be met.
Allan told the House that the question of big jiower supply of arms to Middle Blast countries was not on the agenda of the 10- power disarmament conference now underway In Geneva. He was asked tp what extent it was the British 'Government's policy to seek the cooperation of the Soviet ("rovemment In maintaining; a bal¬ ance of arms among Middle Blast countries, as specified in the ISEO Tripartite Declaration.
ALLAN SAID that the Brltlsb Government holds the view that It was the duty of tbe major pow¬ ers to "show restraint" In supply¬ ing arms to Middle East countries

mation is a German newspaper.
THE ADDITIONAL confirma¬ tion of the deal comes from Lon¬ don where Ben-Gurlon stated that his government intends to go ahead and tap the waters from the Sea of Galilee for development of the Negev region.
B.G. made this decision despite the recent Arab declarations that such a move would bring war on Israel.
It is therefore obvious that Ben-Gurioai Is prepared to gamble on the risk that the Arabs are either bluffing or mean business —and to call a nation's bluff, a government must be armed.
THE QUESTION arises In many minds whether the "deal" was an honest one—whether B.G. was correct when he said that Germany today Is not the Ger¬ many of yesterday.
The question implies, critics say, that Germany today Is not countenancing the resurgence of Nazism.
There is a natural confusion on this point which resolves itself not to the question on whether thefeaffe Ntols IM Wgh Offices,'bur whether the Bonn regime Is wil¬ ling to clean them out.
ALTHOUGH THE Adenauer government belittles the recent swastika conspiracy, ample proof exists that the foreign^ office, the
German embassies abroad and the German judiciary are riddled with former Nazi servants of Hitler, some of them with bad war criminal records. This In- fonnation emanates from the American Jewish Committee, from Warsaw and Prague, and has in fact been no secret for many years during the time the Western Powers had overlooked.past (3er- man sins for German participa¬ tion In NATO.
It Is reported that Ben-Ourion had counselled the C3ianceIlor to undertake a more vigorous purge of these Nazis, Adenauer prom¬ ised urging all former inmates of concentration camps to supply names of war criminals for trans¬ mission to the Bonn authorities.
ADENAUER also promised to speed up payments of reparations to former victims on the claims list
B.G.'s statement in London has aroused a sense of anxiety which, on the eve of the Summit talks, creates a new complicating factor on the international situation.
