“The fact that we voted with the Soviet Union against inviting German representatives to appear before the United Nations has no significance and does not constitute a trend, ” Israel’s Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett declared here today to representatives of the press.

“It is our sacred duty to remind the world of what Germany was and what it did, and to keep it aware of the potential danger to world peace that a re-armed Germany would be, ” Mr. Sharett stated.

Last night Mr. Sharett was the guest of honor at a reception tendered by the Zionist Federation of France. Over 600 Jewish leaders from France and elsewhere attended.
