THE CHINA MAIL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1953.

STALIN

WAB

MESSAGE passed to me by Mrs Golda Meyer- son, Labour Minis- ter in the Israeli Govern- ment.

"Mrs Moyerson regrets," It said, "that she will be unable to discuss with you her experiences in 1948 as first Israel envoy to Moscow.

"She would

never for- give herself if there was so much as a thousand to one chance that anything she and might affect the safety of so much as a single Jew out of the 3,000,000 in the Soviet Union and its satel- lites today."

A MESSAGE from TEL-AVIV

and the JEWS

"Even Stalin made no secret of it to Rib- bentrop that he was only waiting for the moment when enough of his own Russian intelli- gentsia reaches maturity to do away with the Jewish element which he still, for the moment, needs as a lender class."
