Report to the Senate Interior and Insulur

In accordance with the express

Puerto Rico, / made a personal in

Virgin Islands group, namely ST.

Because of the necessity of ira

cause of the close relationship, in
fundamentals, between the two
areas, Mr.. French and l also spent
some time in Puerto Rico. I wish
to state that I was highly graft

is making under Governor Luis

which the Puerto Ricans have
achieved has had a dynamic effect
on their economic and social life.
They are making strides toward
solving their great and pressing

efforts.

about this development came out
of our committee after Puerto

Unity of Caribbean problems
The interdependence of the Ca

and security point of view was re-
cognized on the highest political
levels in the United States by the
Establishment in 1912 under Depart

Joint Anglo-American Caribbean
Commission which subsequently
became and is now the Caribbean
Commission. The United States

The following quotation from
the House report on the measure
by which Congress gave its ap-
prevail to the Commission sets
forth the interest of the United
States in the area clearly.
The interest of the United
States in the Caribbean area is
traditional in the foreign policy
of this country. The reason for
this can be understood by a
glance at the map. The islands in
the Caribbean are of some econo-
mic Importance for their trade;
they are vastly more important
because of their strategic location.
For more tina a century the Uni

worth of American aid under the
Marshall Plan and the military
aid program. Some of this. how
ever. has not yet been voted by

BY American calculations. the

Arab League Boisters
Front Against Israel

DAMASCUS, Syria, May 10 (P1.
The seven-nation Arab League
Council decided today to establish
a special bureau in Damascus to
consolidate and strengthen the
long-standing boycott of Israel bv
her Middle East neighbors.
The action was another step in
creating a solid Arab front behind
SYRIA IN her current border feud
with Israel. The two nations are
observing a nervous U. N.-spon-
Sored ease-fire which last week
ended nearly a month of bloodv
frontier fighting.
AS the council ended it's meet
lngs here, Syria's Premier Khaled
Bey Azem told news conference
OF the meeting that no one in
syria accepts the idea of making
peace with Israel or thinks of such
a thing"
Khaled Bey said Syria welcomes
the action yesterday by the U. N.
Security Council in ordering Israel
to halt the huge drainage project
in the Huleh SWamps. This land
reclamation project - most of
which is in the demilitarized zone
OF Palestine between Israel and
Syria-has drawn Syrian wrath
and touched off the fighting.
An Israeli Foreign Office spokes.
man in Tel Aviv scored the Secu-
rity Council action as a premium
to aggression" and termed it a
surrender to threats =. and liable
to serve as encouragement to fur
ther adventures of a kind which
paid such handsome dividends.
Reclamation of the Huleh
Swamps is Israels absolute and
vital task" the spokesman added.
The Israel government is deter
mined to bring this project to a
successful conclusion despite all
obstacles and with all means at
its disposal"

1STANBUL, Turkey, May 19.--
An irritable King Abdullah of Jor-
Dan said today he would not stand
with folded arms if aggression
took an inch of land from any of
his Arab neighboIs.
The monarch is in Turkey on a
state visit. He talked to newsmen
in 1stanbul'S famed Dolmabache
Palace about warlike preparations
by both sides in the border feud
between Syria and Israel.
Reporters noted that Iraq had
sent forces to help Syria, that
Egypt had offered to help and
that Israel was reported to be
partially mobilizing.

Il do not think there will be a
war; Abdullah declared, but I
do not really know the future.

/ soon found that even among
the Communists there was in-
equality and a distinct class
division. The main distinction was
in the matter of food, Paity
cadres of the higher ranks re-
ceived what was known as 'nealth
food" No delicacies were too good
for them. The rest of the classes
were divided into three groups !:
Small Stove" Medium Stove, -
and Large Stove" Large Stove, -
no more than a bare subsistence,
was actually the fare of the SOL
diers. There was one exception

was a great event in our lives, and
on that day Chi-hwa and I were

battalion party cadres. We were
sent to various places to lnvesti-
gate or assist in the work Of the

Comrades! You must bear in

not within the province of your
