their resettlement in Arab lands.
"The Western powers" he as
serts, cannot avoid hearing re-
sponsibility for the painful and
growingly expensive stalemate
which has been reached with re-
spect to the Arab refugee prob
lem." He advocates adoption OF
the plan presented by John B.
Blandford, Jr., former head OF
the UN Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees in the
Near East, who proposed whole
sale redistribution of refugees in
Syria, Iraq and Egypt. This plan,
however, has failed to receive
Arab support.

Joseph B. Schechtman, an au-
thority on population transfers, in
his new book, '"The Arab Refugee
Problem" philosophical Library,
Is E. 10th, NY16), warns the
Western powers against pouring
vast sums into Arab lands with

entire refugee situation and ana
lyzes the position of the state Of
Israel, of the Arabs, the U. S. and
the UN. He offers proof to show
that the number of Arab refugees
has been exaggerated and that the
entire political approach of the
Arabs is aimed not at aiding the
sufferers but at destroying Israel.
Even anti-Zionist pro-Arab
Dorothy Thompson is quoted, in a
statement culled from an Arab
newspaper, as having said that
''the return of the refugees to
their original homeland would not
benefit them, or be in their best
interest, since in Israel they would
be minority among the Jews"
There is general agreement-ex-
cept among Arab politicians-that
it is folly to speak of returning
the Arabs to Israel, unless propa-
gators of such thoughts mean to
create fifth column for the de-
struction of the Jewish state.
Mr.. Schechtman has written a
most Illuminating book in which
he exposes all the false argu-
ments against Israel, all the pad
ded figures about refugees, all the
attempts at destroying Israel.
He presents facts to show that
the Arab states with vast terri
tories, are underpopulated and.
can well afford to take in the re-
fugees for their own.
His new book should go a long
way to set peoples minds straight
on this important issue.

Mrs. Wilbur Clark, was present
ed by Mrs. D. H. Jackman, presi-
dent of London Delphian Society,
as speaker at the meeting Monday
evening at the home of Miss Mar
garet Long, Maple Street.
Mrs. Clark very aptly presented
an informative paper on THE Role
of the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organiza-
ton in Promoting Human Welfare
and World Peace Through Inter-
national Education"
This dealt with the history, phil
osophy and aims, including fun
damental education, cultural heri-
tage, science and technology, and
other projects. The problems in
volved a loyalty question, loss of
u. S. support, over-organization,
limited resources and conmunica-
ton.
UneSco was organized in 1945
and on November 20, 1915, the
first general conference met in
Paris. When the organization was
established there were "a member
states. Each year the number
grows and in September 1858
there were sixty other countries.

first and foremost an organ of ed
ucation for peace. To equalize
knowledge, Unesco has as one of
it's aims, the promotion of effective
application of free and compulsory
education and to further funda-
mental education for those who
have never had the advantage of
primary education. The goal of
this adult fundamental education,
she continued, is to give each per-
son certain basic Skills so that he
can be a more effective worker,
parent and citizen. The task of ed
ucation for peace cannot be under
taken by one nation alone, but de-
mands the cooperation of all ma
tions. By belonging to, and sup
porting Unesco, nations can fully
exchange knowledge and ideas
that contribute to a fuller under
standing of each others cultures
and recognize the fact that al
though nations and cultures are
diverse, people can agree on fun
damental principles and rights and
duties, the speaker concluded.
During the social hour, two
guests, Mrs. Long and Mrs. Mil
ton Leake, enjoyed the evening
with the fifteen members of the
society.
