The word was out that Gov.

embraces the crossroads Of the
world, the thoroughfare of its
traders and the passageway of its
armies.
There remains the third source:
Ola sinew of material civilization
without which all its machines
would cease to function. The great
factories, producing every kind OF
goods; all the instruments of land,
sea and air communication: all the
weapons of war, from the mechan-
ical bird above the clouds to the
submarine beneath the waves
without oil, all would turn back to
naked metal, covered with rust, in
capable of motion or use.
So we are strong. Strong not in
the loudness of our voices when we
wall or shout for help, but rather
when we remain silent and measure
the extent of our ability to act;
when We really understand the
strength resulting from the ties
binding us together, making our
land a single region from which
no part can withdraw. and of which
no part, like an isolated island, can
be defended without defense of the
whole.
So much for the first circle in
which we must turn, and in which
we must act with all our ability
the Arab circle.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-09
The Second Circle

If we consider next the second
circle-the continent of Africa--I
may say without exaggeration that
we cannot. under any circumstances,
however much we might desire it,
remain aloof from the terrible and
sanguinary conflict going on there
today between million whites
and 200 million Africans. We can
not do so for an important and
obvious reason: We are in Africa.
The peoples Of Africa will continue
to look to us, who guard their
northern gate, and who constitute
their link with the outside world.
We will never in any circumstances
be able to relinquish our respon-
sibility to support, with all our
might, the spread of enlightenment
and civilization to the remotest
depths of the jungle.
There remains another important
reason. 1t is that the Nile is the life
artery of our country, bringing
water from the heart of the con-
tinent.
AS final reason, the boundaries
of our beloved brother, the Sudan,
extend far into the depths of Africa,
bringing into contiguity the polit-
ically sensitive regions in that area.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-09

burdens, off-peak days. taxation and
"under-pricing Of fares" add to the
transit woes. Street railways and
rapid transit are particularly vul-
nerable, he finds, since they are
unable to change routes to meet
shifting patterns of demand.
These problems, Mr.. Owen
gloomily predicts, are going to con.
tinue, creating increasing finan.
ciaf embarrassment" for the tran.
SIT systems. He prescribes drastic
medicine.
Need for Regional Development
To handle today's transporta.
ton problems, he holds, municipal
governments are obsolete. Oniy
regional governments can do the
necessary job. Even such regional
authorities as have been created
are inadequate. The Port Of New
York Authority, for instance. has

To4evel transportation peaks, Mr..
owen suggests community-wide

space as well as time. This means
spreading out homes and economic

murderous, invisible siege upon the
whole region, a siege one hundred
times more powerful and pitiless
than that which was laid upon us
in our trenches at Faluja, or that
which encircled our individual
armies and our capitals whence we
received our orders.
When all these truths had ina
pressed themselves upon me, I be-
gan to realize the need for a COM
mon struggle. said to myself that
so long as the region is one region,
sharing the same conditions and
problems, and the same future (and,
however he tries to change his
disguise, the same enemy so long
as this is true, why do we Scatter
our efforts?
The experiences which followed
the July % (1952) revolution have
increased my conviction of the
necessity for a common struggle.
And now, the hidden parts of the
long developing picture began to
be disclosed, the obscuring shadows
began to disappear.

which block the path to the COM
mon struggle, but I began to be-
heve that these obstacles, being the
creation of the common enemy,
had to be removed.
do not want to minimize the
obstacles to unity in the common
struggle. There is no doubt that
these obstacles have their roots in
the nature of the situation and in
the historical and geographical
circumstances Of our people. But it
is also certain that with a little
flexibility. based on foresight, not
on neglect, it will be possible to call
into being plan upon which every
one will be able to agree without
reservation-a plan for carrying
out the common struggle.
] do not doubt for a moment
that our common effort will achieve
for us and our peoples everything
we desire. For I shall always main
tain that we are strong. The only
trouble is that we do not realize
just how strong we are.
We make the wrong definition
of strength. 1t is not strength
to shout at the top of the lungs;
real strength lies in acting pos
itively with all the effective
means at our command. When
try to analyze the elements of
our strength, there are three
main sources which should first
be taken into account.
The first of these sources is
that we are community of neigh
boring peoples linked by all the
material and moral ties possible,
and that we have characteristics
and abilities and a civilization
which have given rise to three holy
religions-factors which cannot be
ignored in the effort to build a
secure and peaceful world. So much
for the first source.
AS for the second source Of
strength, it is our land itself and
its position on the map-that i'm

important thing is to bring forward those who can

necessary to build that glory.

Expert Sees Need for an About Assault
On Cities Traffic and Transit Headaches

close cooperation between the Dis
trict and neighboring counties Of
Virginia and Maryland as we'll as
the State and Federal governments.
Mr.. Owens book on the metro
politan transportation problem
shows that Washington's transit
headaches are common to large
cities throughout the country and
also whether local transit
is privately owned or owned by a
public authority of some sort.
Our big cities have expanded SO
far that they threaten to choke the
transportation which made them
possible. Few of our city highways
approach adequate standards
Remedies" to traffic snarls often
just move the snarl to some other
local point with no real effect on
the overall problem.
TToffic Still Grows
Traffic on city streets has grown
by nearly 10 per cent since 1910,
and it seems destined to keep on
growing. as Standards Of living"
and personal incomes are raised. In

the next 20 years, the study pre-
diets, automobile ownership will
keep on growing faster than popula-
ton. Yet everywhere sprawling
suburban developments are repeat
ing the errors which helped create
downtown congestion, setting the
stage for future problems.
Some of Mr.. Ovens observations
are Of particular interest to Wash
ington in view Of the problems en-
countered by the late Capital Tran
sit Co. and its recent purchase by
the D. c. Transit Co. If his gen.
eral observations have local ap-
plication. this areas transit head
aches are by no means over.
Tronsit Systems in Trouble
Mr.. Owen found that throughout
the Nation, the fortunes Of large
city public transportation systems
have waned. He blames the stran-
Cling effects Of increased operating
costs because of traffic congestion,
spiraling wages. higher fares, lost
customers. curtailed service, and the
like. Improbable routes. rush-hour
