United States Senator Leverett Saltonstall declared yesterday that “peace and stability in the relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors are basic aims of American foreign policy in the Middle East.” He spoke at the concluding session of the two-day New England Conference for Israel Bonds at the Hotel Bradford, which was attended by 500 delegates from 50 communities.
Reuven Shiloah, Israel’s Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, addressing the conference, declared that “Israel and the United States are in friendly but serious debate today on the methods, not principles, of achieving peace in the Middle East.” Other speakers included Israel Goldstein, president of the American Jewish Congress; Mrs. Rebecca Shulman, president of Hadassah; Dr. Sarah Feder, president of the Pioneer Women of America, Dr. James G. Heller, American Zionist Labor leader, and David Horowitz of Israel.
