Speaking on the occasion Of the

Jubilee Celebration, the native
born Israeli said, 1T is only ma
tural that a young country like
Israel which has recently fought
for freedom and has fought
against the British, should view
with favor the aspirations for
freedom of other countries in the
Middle East, and especially free
dom from Britain. But the free
dom which is being sought by the
Arab countries is not the kind of
freedom we understand.
Egypt wants freedom from
Britain for herself, but she does
not in turn offer freedom to the
Sudan. In Egypt as in other Arab
countries $50 of the wealth is
owned by only SO of the popula-
ton, and these few hundred
wealthy families do nothing at all
to better the terrible lot of filth
and poverty of the people.

Men are still being taken into
the armed services. and girls are
still wanting to marry them before
they 60. Chaplain j. came into
my Office to talk about some OF
the resulting problems.
"I've been interested to note
that you are discouraging these
NASTY marriages" he began. Il
have read several of your columns
lin which you said 1t is usually the
Igirl who insists on a wedding just
before the young man leaves for
camp. That agrees with my own
observations. There have been too
many of those weddings to suit
mel"
EYES," agreed. "the latest cen
sus figures show that the marriage
rate in the United States has been
rising pretty steadily ever since
war broke out in Korea"
There's one point that you
could stress" the chaplain contin-
ued. "I see it every day. The
point is this: No man should
marry just before he goes into
basic training!
THE first three or four months
after he comes to camp are taken
up by basic training. Leave is
rarely given. It's the worst pos
Isible time for a man to have the
anxiety and responsibility Of look
ing after a bride. I wish girls
could be made to realize how self
Iish and unfair they are in forcing
a man into that position!"
II suppose that Is true even If
the girl Is a thousand miles away
from the camp" suggested.
Certainly. Her husband nat
Iurally wants to write to her every
day, but he may be tired out after
a hard days work and not do
himself justice. Then he gets a
pouting reply asking If his love
has cooled so soon. and so on! He
can't do justice to his wife. him
self and the Army all at the same
time!
| Moreover, any girl naturally
feels that 1t is a hardship to mar
ry and then see nothing OF her
husband for some months. So her
inclination is to visit him or. If
possible, to live near the camp
This rarely works out well. And
lit is probable that men in the
service will be moved around more
and more from one camp to an
other after basic training Is fin
lshed.
Let's go one step further" the
chaplain concluded. after pre-
liminary training many of these
boys are going to be sent to Eu-
rope or Japan or somewhere else.
The bride wants to be near her
husband as long as possible. She
comes to live near the camp, prob
ably in an expensive dwelling with
several other wives and perhaps
their children. She's very un-
comfortable and can't help show

before he goes abroad are of a
