General Julius Klein, a Jewish-American soldier and World War II hero and later National Commander of Jewish War Veterans who garnered enormous support for the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In part: "<i>...Thank you for having forwarded me...the text of the declaration of our friend Senator Javits...I am convinced...that it is indispensable today to seek in the Near East a definite settlement...a cease-fire or a precarious and revocable armistice...the leaders of the State of Israel know that they will be called upon to make concessions and to yield to reasonable arrangements...It would be very dangerous to let the fear develop in the Middle East, the Arab States and around the world that the expansionistic and annexionistic sentiments are prevailing among an important part of a certain number of Arab agitators...the friends of the State of Israel, those who wish that they could finally enjoy a solid and lasting peace, will have to make efforts to combat these suspicions and accusations...</i>". Very attractively matted with marbleized accents and set, with a portrait of France, into a gilt frame. With a full, typed, translation, framed separately. In very good condition, and a nice association piece. <b>$75-100</b>
