Stone's deep-commitment to Judaism and the promotion of peace in the Middle East is reflected throughout the collection in his correspondence and in his writings. This small series brings together files designated by Stone as "Jewish Affairs".
They contain correspondence reports and press cuttings relating to the public controversy waged between Stone and Sir Isaac Isaacs in 1943 and 1944 concerning the fate of Jewish refugees from Hitler's Europe. Stone's open letter to Isaacs was later published as Stand up and be counted: an open letter to Sir Isaac Isaacs on the occasion of the twenty sixth anniversary of the Jewish National home. (Sydney, Ponsford Newman and Benson, 1944). (See also Isaacs Papers MS 2755) Smaller files contain "Jewish Affairs" correspondence (1967-72); Stone's opinion concerning legal aspects of the Palestine Question (1947); Jewish Trade Fair (1967); Australian Jewish Welfare and Relief Society (1969); the fourth Annual Maurice Ashkanasy Award as Australian Jew of the Year (1971); N.S.W. Friends of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem and visit to Sydney by Mrs Zena Harman (1972); and Stone's correspondence with the Zionist Federation of Australia and New Zealand relating to "tax" on Soviet intellectuals "essentially directed against the Jewish intelligentsia intending to emigrate to Israel" (1972).
One of Stone's monographs Aggression and world order (1958) deals with his challenge to United Nations Claims to use sanctions as pressure on Israel to withdraw in 1956-1957. His studies Peace in the Middle East (1967) and Middle East Under Cease fire (1967) were available in time for critical debates at the United Nations as well as in Jerusalem and elsewhere after the 1967 Six-Day War, in 1969.
