The World Over

cording to dispatch in the Ma
tional Jewish Post.
With ample minera! resources
and fertile soil, Burma needs no
foreign grants. She needs techni-
cal ability to exploit her resources.
Manpower and kmowhow will
come from Israel, while Burma
supplies the resources. Costs, risks,
and profits will be shared by both.
Here is a far-seeing plan, excit-
ing in its i Implications. No coloni-
al development this. Both parties
to the agreement are sovereign
nations, both will benefit nightly
from this voluntary venture.
Some day Israel and her neigh
bors closer in will share in just
such cooperative enterprises for
the good of their people and their
nation. If we encourage their
rapprochement now, we will have
brought their friendship more
speedily into being.

turned out to be support of auto

It is a policy violently opposed
to American tradition.

Cathedral of st. John the Divine
in New York, Should be concerned
that the US. government, while
overtly refusing to enter the arms
race in the Middle East, has been
secretly sending arms to one side

Yes, though it may be hard to
believe, the United States is send
ing arms to Iraq and Saudi Arabia,
even as communist nations are
supplying munitions to Egypt and
Syria, and British military supplies
go to Jordan and Lydia.
All this and Yemen, too, COM
ments one reporter, as news comes
of arms talks between that little
slave state and the Soviet Unicn.
Is this the way to bring peace
to the Middle East?
A FEW YEARS ago Kermit
Roosevelt, ardent Arab propaganda
ist, wrote book called Arabs,
Oil and History" in which he ex-
pressed this opinion:
eff it is clear that Isreal is
strong enough to defend herself,
or that the big powers will glar-
antee her borders against attack,
most Arabs will have to accept,
tacitly at least, the status quo.
Tacit acceptance may grow into
permanent peace. That is the
only hope there is"
1t is still the only hope today.
We must ensure that Israel is
strong enough to forestall an in
vasion by commissioned Arab
forces. And We must support an
all-out peace offensive by the
United Nations, bringing both sides
in the Middle East together to re-
solve their differences.
Firmness in our policy, firmness
in the United Nations-that is the
only hope we have of bringing
peace and stability to the Middle
East.

"Ani ma'amin-I believe with a

To the victims of Hitler, as TO

meant an end to war and hate and
the madness of power. Above all,
it meant peace and human dignity,
and for this the battle has not

The young Russian woman

posals but the intention be-

Columbus Strike Violence FoiIs
To Stir Liberal Organizations

Yesterday was a black day in
American history. The Consti-
tuition was trampled upon. Civil
rights were f1agrantly abused.
And yet not a single committee
of Congress and not a single
liberal" organization showed
any signs of raising a voice in
protest.
No word of disapproval came
from any of the groups which
usually award prizes to de-
tenders of civil liberties" and
no comment came from the
organizations which are quick
to denounce a iury's acQuittal
of persons charged with vio-
lence in the South.
Yet the dispatches from
Columbus, Ohio. tell the story
plainly of how nearly 100
American citizens tried to
exercise their right to work at
the Westinghouse plant and
were set upon by a mob of
other workers ordered to en-
gage in mass picketing by a
labor-union official. This was
in defiance of a court order
limiting the number of pickets.
The United Press reports:
The trouble broke out about
$40 am. when some 1000
members of the striking CIO-
AFL International Union of
Electrical Workers massed at
the plant gates for a demon
stration scheduled by the pres
tdent of Local 746.
