The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today heard an unofficial Zionist point of view on the proposal to send military and financial aid to Greece and Turkey.
Nathan H. Brodsky, of Newark, president of the Esser County Zionist Council, told the Committee that it was “inconceivable” to consider Greece and Turkey as an isolated position in the Middle East when Palestine forms such a large part of the Middle East picture. He said he could not see why “America should be asked to stabilize a part of the picture — Greece and Turkey — when another part of the same area presents a more critical problem.”
Brodsky said he was appearing before the Committee as a private individual and that Senators Smith and Hawkes, Republicans of New Jersey, had urged him to appear to present his views.
