A delegation of the Central Jewish Committee met here recently with Tadao Kato, the Japanese Ambassador to Mexico and asked him to convey to the Japanese government the opposition of the Jewish community against Arab oil blackmail and its hope that the Japanese government would resist such pressures to break diplomatic ties with Israel.

Other members of the delegation were Sergio Nudelstejer, secretary general; and local Jewish merchants and industrialists who have business ties with Japan.
