86th Annual Meeting, National Canadian Bank Reports Higher Earnings Per Share
The 8Gth annual general meeting of National Canadian Bank was held, in Montreal, on Tuesday, January 10. The president of the Bank, Ulric Roberge, paid a tribute to his predecessor, Charles St-Pierre, who retired after fifty-eight years, in the service of this institution; and as general manage for fourteen years; and president for over ten years.
Mr. Roberge remarked that, on the average of the past five years, business on the whole has been as active in 1960, as in several recent years, particularly in some important sectors, such as mining, forestry and the building industry.
The substantial volume of our foreign trade should not make us lose sight of the disadvantages which are shown in some respects, remarked Mr. Roberge. He then pointed out that the proportion of
THE ISRAELIS AND ZIONISM
(Continued from Page Twelve)
would have to draw one of two conclusions: either that they belong to some special class of Jews, who are foolish enough to want to stay in Israel or unfortunate enough to have no alternative; or else there is no reason why those who can find the opportunity should not take advantage of Professor Handlin's offer and enjoy both the moral credit and the fleshpots.
It is true that Ben-Gurion's view of the future (or, rather, lack of future) of the Zionist Organization is not shared by the majority of even his own party. But that is rather a matter of terminology and organizational convenience. The question at issue between Ben-Gurion and, say, Sharett, is simply whether it would be better to maintain and foster the present Zionist Organization, although the vast majority of its members have no intention at present of settling in Israel, or to regard organized Zionism as bankrupt and to build
up a new form of association between Israel and the Jewish people. Ben-Gurlon says: The so-called Zionist Organization is no longer Zionist; let us drop the pretence and establish the closest possible direct contact.with all Jews, irrespective of their ideology. The Mapai majority says: Yes, there are only a small minority of true Zionists, it is true. But, in the first place, if we relentlessly .insist on the point we shall antagonize devoted workers for Israel without thereby increasing the number of potential immigrants, and besides, it would be better to broaden the scope of the Organization by bringing in communal and other bodies, thus making it representative of the great bulk of Jewry, than to scrap it all and start again from scratch. (This, I believe, is close to the attitude of Dr. Nahum Goldmann.)
There are many arguments on both sides, but they do not affect the basic belief, which is characteristic of what I might call "Israeli Zionism," that there can be no true Zionism without at least the sincere aspiration and the consent effort to settle in Israel. It is strange, by the way, that Ben-Gurion's attitude should be s o frequently misunderstood, though he has expounded it in print with great clarity and at considerable length. Krivine writes, for instance, "Ben-Gurion, for a rarity, is -wrong this time. The Western Jews in the mass are no longer Zionists or potential Zionists in his sense of the term." Apart from a reservation with regard to the question of "potential Zionists" in the long run, this is exactly what Ben-Gurion says, and his conclusion is: Well, then, let us stop calling thrm Zionists.
Ben-Gurion ends the essay I have referred to on a note of hope: "Hebrew education, the vision of Messianic redemption for the Jewish people and for humanity, and an ever-strengthening attachment to Israel � this is the threefold thread that can unite and bind together all trends in Jewry in all the countries of the dispersion, and if those who are loyal to our people in Israel and the Diaspora so will it � the thread shall never be broken."
The question which Israel poses to every Zionist is this: these principles and aspirations can become the common heritage of all Jews; are you prepared to offer something more: the readiness to make your home in Israel if you can, and � if you are unable to make the break yourself by reason of age, economic difficulties and so forth � to encourage and assist your children to do so?
