The Manufacturers Association of Holland today advised Dutch businessmen who receive questionnaires from the Arab League or the Arab states on Jewish personnel within their organization or on their business dealings with Israel, not to reply to any questions before consulting with the association’s executive. It is understood that the executive is privately advising members against answering any of the questions.
Earlier, the association had advised manufacturers to use their own discretion in replying to questions about their business dealings with Israel, but to refuse to reply about Jewish personnel in their firms. The Arab questionnaires seem to have been sent to many countries, and the Netherlands association announced its intention of consulting with manufacturers groups in other countries over the questionnaires.
