Goldmann for Taking Lead In Solving Mid East Problem. Jerusalem (JTA) — The Jews must take the initiative in solving the problem of Arab-Israel relation!, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, cochairman of the Jewish Agency, declared here at a reception given In his honor b y the Progressive Party of Israel. Dr. Goldmann said that although the Arabs are primarily responsible for the existing hostile situation, they are a static factor while the Jews are the dynamic force in the situation and, therefore, must take the lead In a solution.

of Arab warfare against Israel was imminent, but stated that "the fact is that Israel cannot remain an island in a sea of enemies." Iirael, he continued, must be integrated into the Middle East area "which is of supremo geo-political importance.'1 The Jewish Agency l e a d e r warned the Israelis, especially the young generation, that although they now have the support of world Jewry and the friendship and sympathy of tho non-Jewish world, they must not take this for granted. Israol more than any country in the world needs the sympathy, of world nations, he said therefore Israel must do everything to win and hold the world's sympathy. Dr. Goldmann told the Israelis that they must not expect the Jewish world's support of Israel will continue "eternally;" this support, he stated, must be won anew daily. He pointed out that if American Jews, because of their feeling of solidarity, contribute $70,000,000 to Israel beside t h e hundreds of millions of dollars collected for domestic needs/the aame sense of solidarity must ex* press itself In Israel's attitude to» .ward world Jewry.

f o Jerusalem Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israel Cabinet approved the decision by Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett to transfer the Israel Foreign Office from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The Foreign Ministry was the last major department of the government to remain behind in Tel Aviv. Formal notification of the move was communicated this week-end to all foreign missions i n Israel. The official communique announcing the transfer expressed the hope that eventually all foreign missions w o u l d establish their quarters in the capital. (In Washington, the Department of State said that Israel has no right to declare Jerusalem as its capital. It emphasized that the United States does not plan to transfer its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Such transfer, it pointed out, would bo "Inconsistent with the United Notions resolutions dealing with the international nature of Jerusalem,'1 as well as with the solution regarding Jerusalem Set forth by Secretary John Foster Dulles in his address on June 1, 1953.) < It is understood that in its communication to the foreign missions, the government expressed its conviction that no useful purpose would be served by the separation of the Ministry from the main body of the government a.nd that the Ministry Would be unable to fully discharge its normal functions under such circumstances. The message is also said to have stressed that there is no case in modern history where a Foreign Ministry has been separated from the other organs of a state,

BRITAIN OPPOSES London (JTAJ — T h e British Government informed tho Government of Israel that the British Embassy will not be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem which became the seat of Israel's Foreign Office. In transmitting this information through its Ambassador in Israel, the British Government said that the decision is based on the following three points: 1. Britain never recognized Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem; 2. The moving of tho Israel Foreign Office from Tel AVlv to Jerusalem is not likely to ease the tension in tho Middle East; 3. This move is likely to prejudice future consideration of the status of Jerusalem.
