ISRAEL'S FRESroENT asked the leader of the largest political party — the Labor-Mapam Alignment — to form a new government, and Mrs. Golda Meir got down to the business of negotiating a new Cabinet for Israel, officially. For ever since the results were known, feelers had been out. From all accounts the honeymoon period was over, and a time of hard bargaining at hand.
Mrs. Meir's party had not won a majority at the polls, and would perforce have to go into a coalition with other parties. Moreover, the electorate, so most experts asserted, had given her a mandate to re-establish a broadly based government of national unity. The question now was with whom, and on what basis. The Alignment decided to reconstitute the cabinet that had served Israel since the Six-Day War. It would adhere to the basic policy principles adopted by the previous government, and the main opposition group, Gahal (a right-
centre bloc), which had been co-opted to the previous cabinet, would be given the opportunity of becoming a full coalition partner.
Previously Gahal had accepted collective responsibility for foreign affairs and defence only, and had only two cabinet ministers. Soon after the elections it indicated that it wanted the overall basic program of the new government to be settled by negotiation, and adequate representation with regard to the distribution of portfolios. Then the snags began.
Mapam, at the left-wing of the
Labor Alignment, came out emphatically against any negotiations with Gahal for establishment of a full coalition. A party spokesman said it was ready to accept Gahal on the very same terms that were in operation during the period after the June War, in recognition <A. the security situation.
Defence Minister Moshe Dayan
was reported to favour Mrs. Meir exercising her full prerogatives in setting up a government <rf her own choice. He did oppose what he called partial membership. Its constituents should be adequately represented. Mrs. Meir herself (Continued on Page 11) See INSn>E ISRAEL

On Being a Mentsch
THERE ARE EIGHT Jewish community institutions who will either have to curtail their services or take other measures should the Jewish Community Fund drive fail to attain its present objective.
Tliis is a shocking state of affairs in a community as generally affluent as ours. For when you consider the matter candidly, what will you or your children be forced to do without because you have made a donatitm to the Fund? Is there anyone in the community who really denies himself anything when he contributes to any of the communal fund campaigns?
There are, however, two things which you will deny yourself if you do Jiot step forward right now to be counted as a responsible member of this community:
FIRSTLY, YOU WILL have to give up the many benefits of a combined appeal, not the least of whidi is the fact that you may expect to be inundated once again with eight separate campaigns.
And secondly, you will deny your own self-respect as a Jew, for whom Tzedaka — giving to and supporting our own charities and needs and those of humanity at large — has always been one of the most fundamental attributes of being Jewish and has more often than not characterized the Jew as being a most valuable part of society.
IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS we have but two choices: To invite chaos and waste in our ctHumnnal fund-raising by continuing to be picayune in our giving and lethargic in our attitude; or to assure the continued, development of a healthy community by {Mwiding all cf our institutions with the funds of which they are in siich dire need.
To act in the former manner is not the Jewish way of life. To do the latter, is to behave like a Mentsch.
