Israel’s pro-Soviet Mapam Party today sent a message of greetings to the Russian Communist Party Congress currently meeting in Moscow. It read in part:
“On behalf of the masse of workers, builders of the restored homeland of the Jewish people, believers in friendship between the Jewish and Arab peoples, and on behalf of the leaders of the movement for peace and friendship with the U.S.S.R. in our land, we send your historic conference our enthusiastic brother-workers greeting.”
