year-old student from Nov
gorod. She had no knowledge
of English, her only foreign Ian.
guage being German, which she
had studied one or two hours q
week in her secondary school,
an in general, she was a very
unworldly person. She had spent
most of her life in Leningrad
(she was there throughout the
blockade in the war;. and had
travelled only as far as Pskov.
Thanks to her friendly influence
and eager curiosity. and thanks
to the vodka drinking joking of
the chess-playing army officiers.
the atmosphere in the car was
relaxed, and at time hilarious,
particularly when the officers
hid one of the window curtains,
and then complained to the con-.
ductress.
This spirit of good will and
joie de vivre provided quite a
contrast to an experience another
British colleague, young
woman, recently bad on a train
trip to Smolensk, an episode
worth relating. In the corridor
Of her car, she was approached.
by a Soviet army officer who was
obviously, she said, in search of
feminine company. However,
when this officer, a major, found
out that she was English, his
manner changed abruptly and he
launched into a denunciation of
the West in the best agitator's
style, with most of the Russian
travellers in the corridor for an
audience. On leave-taking at
SmolenSk. the major turned to
this British girl, and said: "Per-
haps we shall meet again some
day-in London"
Under what circumstances"
she asked in surprise.
II am sure that the Soviet
army will have to intervene,
sooner or later. to save the Brit
ish from the clutches of the
Americans" he replied. ''The
Russian people cannot stand idly
by and watch their comrades
suffer-"

ticed that the answers to the
question appear to fall into two
opposite categories, one encour-
aging. the other alarming. The
more cheerful Interpretation.
from our. point Of view, Of the
anti : American campaign is
made up of several explanations.
any one Of which is offered as
the possible key. One of these
is to the effect that American
propaganda and the message of
the non Communist world are
effectively penetrating the Iron
Curtain, and so more ferocious
counterattackS are needed by
the Kremlin. Another says that
the Russian people are so apa-
thetic and Indifferent. so skepti-
cal and suspicious, so weary and
wary of propaganda, as the re-
suit Of years of constant shifts
in the party's propaganda line,
that the shock treatment is now
necesSary-and as the people
become progressively hardened,
even greater shocks are required.
The reasoning of still another
explanation is that Russia'S in
ternal troubles are so severe that
a scapegoat is needed, and the
American Government-and now
even the American people-can
conveniently fill that role.
On the other hand, there is
the pessimistic Interpretation
that the hate-America cam
paign has been launched to pre-
pare the Soviet people for war
on the part of Russia, and to
justify any future military move.
Each of these explanations is
valid. But the important thing
to remember, in my opinion, is
that they are not mutually ex-
cluvise. 1t is more likely, there
fore, that all of them together
form the raison d'etre of this
campaign, a campaign of pure
malice which will be studied by
historians and psychologists,
and the devil himself, for many
years to come.

Exclude Israel
From Farley

ROME (JTA)-IsraeI has been
excluded from participating in an
International Meeting of Mediter-
ranean Studies and Exchanges,
which was held in Palermo under
the auspices of the Italian For
eign Ministry. In reply to a
query submitted by the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Foreign
Ministry official said Israel was
omitted because "it would have
been impossible, in the light of
past experience, to seat around
one table both Arabs and Jews,
because of the Arabs fanatical
intransigence to Jews"
The official pointed out that
Italy has always tried to act as a
"stabilizing influence" between
the Jews and Arabs and added
that the Foreign Ministry intends
to show Italy's friendship for Is
rael in some form in the near flu
ture.

Sen. Taft said: "Our reply to this
attack on this little country is the
continuation of our policy of as
sistance, to strengthen the State
of Israel to carry out it's proper
purposes. Israel must be able to
accept those refugees who may
succeed in escaping from behind
the Iron Curtain. 1t must con-
solidate itself economically and
meet the critical problems arising
out of the great migration of the
last five years"
"In the Near East" he said, "I
think it is clear that we must ach-
ieve a clear and definite under
standing on peace between Israel
and the Arab states as to the
boundaries, as to the settlement
of Arab and Jewish refugees, and
as to Communism, and we must
build up a determination to ach-
ieVe strength that will be in fact

18th annual campaign of the Uni

DR.. Silver pointed out that Is
rael had received from the us.
only $276,000,000 in total aid and
contrasted that with the total of
more than $30,OOOO0O,0OO given
to all countries receiving such aid
in the first five postwar years
and the S7,000000,0O0 spent on
foreign aid last year alone. He
recalled that some of the nations
receiving us. Government help
are the "oldest and most power
full in Europe" Half of this aid
to Israel is from the Export I'm
port Bank as a loan and being
repaid at the rate of 31a % inter
Dr.. Silver emphasized that "Is-
rael is profoundly grateful for
the aid which it has received
from this country, which was the
first to grant it recognition and
which did so much to bring it
into existence" BY so doing, he
pointed out, the us. has assured
for itself and mankind, "a faith
full and dependable ally for free
dom and democracy in a most
critical and strategic area of the
world" The recent violent out
burst and denunciation both of Is
rael and of Zionism on the part
of the Soviet bloc are clear
proof Of this fact he stressed.
