The Belgian Government has informed the Israel legation here that it has approved a second flotation of Israel development bonds in this country, it was revealed today.
The issue will amount to $500,000. Although the proceeds of the bond sales may not be taken out of Belgium, they can be placed in a fund to pay for Israeli purchases from Belgian companies. The first Israel bond issue was completely subscribed.
Belgian Jews were warned by the Israel legation here today against unauthorized persons soliciting for alleged Israeli causes. If in doubt, the legation said, the Belgian Jew should check either with the institution in Israel for which the solicitation is theoretically being made or with the Zionist Federation of Belgium.
