The United States-Israel treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation, which was signed last year by Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Ambassador Abba Eban, has been submitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for approval. Ratification has been urged in a statement to the committee by Harold F. Linder, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs.
The treaty aims at promoting mutually beneficial economic activities, such as fair treatment of citizens and corporations. It endorses standards to protect persons and property, reduces discrimination in trade and shipping, and protects private investment and enterprise.
