A special edition of the United Nations World magazine, devoted to Israel and the achievements of the Jewish state, made its appearance here today carrying articles written by Premier David Ben Gurion, Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan, Ambassador to the U.S. Abba Eban, and others. The special issue also carries an article by Victor Reuther, American labor leader, on the Histadrut, terming it “the world’s most successful trade union.”
In his article, Premier Ben Gurion emphasizes that Israel’s policies will be inspired by the universal aims of the United Nations. “Israel,” he writes, “will seek, by every means at its command, to strengthen the authority, effectiveness and international character of the United Nations organization. At the same time, Israel will consistently aim at maintaining friendly relations with all the peace-loving nations of the world in the East and the West and in all the five continents. In particular, it will strive loyally for peace and amity with the neighboring Arab states.”
