WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON--The spirit
of Geneva" appears to nave
died where il was born.
No experienced observer will
try to hide the tragic fact that
the foreign ministers had a
frank and comprehensive dis
cussion" of three items entrust-
ed to them by the four heads
of state: (l) European secur-
ity and Germany, ~ disarma.
ment, and ~ the development
of contacts between East and
West.
The communique added that
the foreign ministers agreed
to report the result of their dis
cussions to their respective
heads OF government and rec,
ommend that future discussions
be settled through diplomatic
channels.
Irreconcilable disagreement
characterized all the items dis
cussed.
The talks made it clear that
Soviet Russia will not let its
zone OF Germany slip out of
the communist orbit. II wants
a united Germany, only If it
will be a communist Germany.
Neither the western Big Three
nor the so million free people
in Western Germany can agree
to that,
BY European security" the
Soviets mean Soviet security
and western insecurity through
q breakup of the North Allan
tic Treaty Organization.
On disarmament the Soviet

Bulganin and Khrushchev
had waved to the crowds on
the bathing beaches like
bunch of prosperous farmers
in their new store clothes out
to see the sights of the big
city. At the current meeting
Foreign Minister V. M. Molo-
tov and his deputy Andrei
Gromyko, showed all the mirth-
lessness of professional bill
collectors bored in advance by
the sentimental arguments
against foreclosure they must
hear. 4
In place of q well-tanned
President Eisenhower choosing
dolls in a novelty shop, Geneva
saw a solemn-faced Bostonian,
wan as a social worker in need
of a vacation from his settle
ment mouse Work.
Mr.. Dulles enthusiasm for
his task of persuading Molotov
can be compared to that of q
counsel appointed by the court
for a penniless drunk. For the
Secretary of State to listen to
Molotov's praise of single-slate
elections as the highest express
sion of democracy was mani
festly as tedious as analyzing
the testimony of an alcoholic.
Even the most enthusiastic
supporters of the always elu-
sive spirit of Geneva" admit
that it was snuffed out by the
foreign ministers conference.
Whether it also means that
the cold war will get colder re-
mains to be seen.

and around the area of Nazar-
eth, which is an entirely Arab
city. There are a number of
Bedouins in the south around
Beersheba. Here and there in
the cities one finds a small
Arab population, standing out
in sharp relief by virtue of the
distinctive costume that most
of them wear. Even in Israeli
Jerusalem I was astonished to
see several Arabs in their typ
ical kdfiyer, quite unmolested
by the overwhelmingly Jewish
population that now prevails in
that city.
A Vsxing Problem
The Arabs who have remain
ed have done so for several
reasons. Some did not have
time to flee or thought better
of it. Others preferred to take
their chances under the new
dispenSation and stuck it out.
Still others have returned un-
der special arrangements be-
cause of family connections
which they did not wish to
break.
The problem is, quite OBJ
viously, vexing one. Even
200, 900 Arabs in a population of
100000 constitutes a respect
able bloc; and in view of the
political and military tension
with the surrounding Arab
states, it leaves them open to
the suspicion, to say the least,
of potential collaborationism
with their fellows across the
the line. AIS
Subflefiss and Exceptions
1t is not easy TO analyze the
status of the Arabs in Israel in
view of innumerable subtlet-
les and exceptions that charac-
terize the problem. From the
legal angle, they have been ac-
knowledged as full-fiedged Is
raeli citizens. Ben Gurion, over
and over again, has insisted
that there must be no distinc-
tion between race or religion
as far as membership in the
national community is con-
cerned.
On the other hand, the Ar
abs are not accepted into the
army nor entrusted with any
thing that has to do with ma
tional defense. They live in
the north and south under the
surveillance of the respective
military governor of Nazareth
and of Beersheba. They have
been restricted in their move
ments and must have special
permits To circulate. II IL trus

ties. This is especially true IN

AmbivsIent Attituds
In a recent article in The
Middle East journal of Wash.
lngton, D. c., (Vol. 8, No. q
Don Peretz has indicated that
there is evidence of an "ambi.
valent attitude on the part of
the Israeli government and pub
lie opinion generally" toward
the Arabs. There is not much
rancor or fear, but obviously q
lack of confidence. The Arabs
are represented in the Israeli
parliament and the Arabic Lam
guage is given full rights along
with Hebrew. Arab schools are
provided in which instruction is
impaired in the language of the
minority and the rights of
both Christians and Moslems.
among them are guaranteed by
the provision for their own
tribunals and other agencies.
Mr.. Edwin Samuel, an old
Palestinian, writing in the Jew
ish publication, Commentary
May, 1855, calls attention to
the fact that the Arabs are
still in somewhat dubious POI
sition on several counts. They
are not full voting members
of the great labor organization.
Histadrut, nor do labor exc
changes in Jewish areas take
upon themselves the RESPONSE
bility of providing work for
Arabs. This same writer con-
cludes that without a political
settlement between Israel and
the Arab states, there is little
hope of IsraePs Arabs being
able to settle down to become
loyal Israel citizens"
Whole Situation Complex
Little by little many of the
prejudices and generalizations
about the Arabs held by many
Jews are being dispelled. I
heard it said in Israel in soms
quarters that Nazareth was q
place where thousands Of
Arabs sat about drinking eof-
fee and smoking and refused
to do lick of work, thus pro-
viding excellent ground for the
work of communism. 1t seemed
to me when | visited Nazareth
that this was far from the case,
for the city was in no sense q
refuge for the idle or the shift
less. l was pleased to see this
impression confirmed in a SER
les of articles in The Jerusalem
Post in which one of the news
pa pers' correspondents de-
scribes Nazareth as peaceful
and hard working" giving the
lie to the sometimes popular
notion that the Arab is an eco-
nomic backslider.
The problem is complex be-
cause it cannot be settled inde-
pendently of the entire Middle
East. 1t is we'll to remember
always that all Jews are not in
Israel in this general area, nor
is Israel free of all Arabs. The
Arab in Israel is somewhat in
the same situation as the Jew
in Cairo and Beirut--tolerated,
not prosecuted probably, but
nevertheless on what is certain

well known Catholic journalist,
Mr.. Max Stampfll, who has re-
peatedly written in recent years
that the U.S.S. in general and

to corroborate Mr.. Stampfli's

Mr.. Stevenson told his audience
that athe most urgent struggle Of
an today is "the war against
war itself :
What humanity now demands
Is q great leap ahead in our
thinking and our action. We talk
of limiting war. But that is not
enough. War in the hydrogen

said: As woodrow wilson de-
