bombs. The time would have come
to shoot the works.
What would this meanf
Almost certainly 1t would mean
contamination Of our food supply.
Grain fields In the Middle West
would become battlefields. Govern
ment surplus stocks would become
targets. Air bursts from guided
missiles, from balloons, from Soviet
bombers' droppings. deliberate dis
persion Of radioactive waste mate
rials-all Of these could contami-
nate our bread basket with deadly
poison.
America, the land Of milk and
honey and plenty could overnight
be faced with starvation.
Which brings up more questions:
Are We wise In trying 20 hard to
peddle our farm surplus? AZ .
matter Of fact. do We have any
surplus" at all?
How long would 1t take to deplete
these huge, depressing surpluses
overhanging the market" In case
Of a1l-out war?
Our Stondby Stocks
Here are some answers. supplied
by the National Farmers Union and
based on Agriculture Department
statistics american consumption
and exports assumed to be the same
as In 1852. the last year no sur
pluses were accumulateO:
o We have corn for only 3 months
and 10 days-barely enough to keep
the distribution pipeline filed.
0 We have enough wheat for 10
months and IL days.
0 We have enough cotton for ID
months and 10 days.
. Enough rice for Z months and
. days.
. Enough butter for / month and
II days.
. Enough rye for Z months and
IS days.
. Enough barley for 4 months and
II days.
. Enough oats for "A days.
o Enough soybeans for 10 days.
The List goes on. but there Ii no
important crop In which our sur
pluses exceed IA months supply. OF
course, fallout with long-term per-
sistence, like strontium or cesium,
could contaminate our farmlands
for many years.
Today, even the meager stocks
we have on hand could be con-
taminated in the first days Of an
all-out war. We have made no
preparations to protect them Cor
anything else) against radioactive
fallout or chemical attack.
Despite these inadequacies Of our
food and fiber stocks for q nuclear
war situation, both Democratic and
Republican administrations have
sought to reduce them In two ways.
by selling them or giving them
away abroad, and by discouraging
farm production.
Two Voices
At least two Democrats In the
Senate are now awakening to the
political as well as nonpolitical ad-
vantages in setting up q strategic
reserve Of food and fibers. They are
Senators Hubert II. Humphrey Of

This is O field in which Americans
have always shown particular aptt-

the marvellous things which make

But we have not fully applied this

Lead time. Of course. has always
been a key factor In warfare. from
the days when q man equipped his
army with stone hatchets faster
than his enemy. There has been q
tremendous increase In chronological

Com passion

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(JTA) = A resolution con-
demning Israel for its retalia-
tory raid on Syrian military
positions on December II in
the Lake TiberiaS area was
unanimously adopted by the
U.N. Security Council a f t e r
eight S e S S i on S held in the
course of nearly five weeks.
Achievement of a unanimous
vote was a distinct victory for
the Big Three Western Pow
ers which fought sterner con-
demnation proposed by the So
Wet Union as we'll as "compro-
mise" drafts by Yugoslavia
and Iran.
Mr.. Eban making no denialS
with regard to the Lake Tiber-
las incident, told the Council
that the government had the
choice of resisting the aggres-
sive threat openly maintained
by Syria or abandoning its
sovereignty and rights. He re-
minded the Council that "the
United Nations has not been
able to offer Israel the minim-
al daily security enjoyed by
everyone of its other IS mem
bers in nearly every sector OF
their national lives.
"We know" he added, "that
Israel is most popular when
she does not hit back, and
world opinion is profoundly
important to us. A practice
has grow up of accepting
Arab belligerency with indulg-
ence and of insisting only that
Israel should never hit back.
1t is our apprehension that
more influence is used to pre-
vent Israel's reactions than is
exercised to prevent the pro-
vocations that give rise to
them" He added that Israel
felt entitled to prevent the pro-
vocations that give rise to
them" He added that Israel
felt entitled to receive greater
understanding.

Zionists in Israel are current

negotiations" looking toward
the merger of the two groups
into a solid anti-left bloc
movement" aacov Liber-
man, member of the world
executive of the Herut Party,
announced.
Mr.. Liberman asserted that
the apparent readiness OF
the Western Powers to aban-
don Israel has forced home a
lesson in Israel that the ISrae-
lis must depend upon them
selves for their own salvation.
He noted that the West was
"our naturally ally" but said
that the Vests counting of
the Arabs was a policy of
"total bankruptcy"

Of Peace

has obtained pledges from
the leaders of all the Arab
states which he visited last
week, as we'll as from Isra-
ell where he conferred with
the Jewis S h government
leaders, that they will "ab-
stain from any acts of hos

above all, to settle conflicts,

Mr.. Dulles told Mr.. Eban that
there would be no arms for
the Jewish State-now and for
months to come. The report
added that the Secretary of
State had informed Mr.. Eban
that the door was not perma-
nently closed on the matter
yet, and that it was a matter
of timing-the nature of us.
policy in the Middle East at
this time precluded favorable
action on IsraePs reques
That report was neither con-
formed nor denied in official
circles.
But one thing did become
clear this week. The status of
the Arab Israel issue was very
much involved with this elec-
ton year. Mr.. Dulles is seek
ing an agreement with Demo
cratic leaders, to take the Is
rael-Arab issue out of the area
of political debate. It coul d
better be settled without pub
lie discussion, he felt and he
was backed up by President
Eisenhower.
The reaction was wifi t
and unfavorable. Sens. Wayne
Morse and Humbert Humphy-
rey state that the Arab-Israel
iSpute would not be
exempt" from discussion in
the 1856 campaign. Sen. Her
bert Lehman said that if there

which truly needed public de-
bate, this was certainly it.

with Assistant tary
Allen.
In the opinion of State De-
partment officials, the resolu-
ton adopted by the U.N. Sc
curity Council condemning Is
rael for its recent retaliatory
raid on Syrian military posi-
tons would delay considera-
ton of Israels arms applica-
ton. These officials indicated
that Secretary Dulles promise
to take a "fresh look" at the
application was linked with
the nature of the decision.
One official, however, said
it was mot realistic" for Israel
to expect favorable action on
the arms list for a consider
able time. His explanation was
that the major goal of US.
Middle East diplomacy at this
time is to win Egypt away
from Soviet influence. Sale of
us. arms to Israel, he said,
would jeopardize American eff
forts in Cairo. If these efforts
succeed, he said, Israel may
see peace with the Arabs and
have no need for additional
arms.
