Wisdom of Ban on Mideost Debate

There is a belief widely
held by Senators that mem
bership on the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations
is a stepping stone to the
White House. If true, none
of that committees more
politically ambitious mem
bers are taking advantage of
the opportunities inherent
in the turmoil of present for

tation for knowledge and
leadership in the field.

autocracy of which his cele-
brated predecessor Uncle Joe
Cannon would have APP
proved. has cut off foreign
policy debate entirely. He re-
fuses to recognize members
to make what he calls CON
troverSial" speeches - by
which he means speeches on
the Middle Eastern situa-
ton. In doing so he means
to protect the President and
the administration at a criti-
cal period for foreign poll

No such bar to discussion is
present in the Senate, but
for all intents and purposes
there might as we'll have been
one. The Senate, and par
ticularly the Foreign Rela-

have helped the Nation make
up its mind about its respon-

in relation both to the crises

Political parties in the
United States lack the cohe-
sion of British parties. In
Britain the Labor Party, de-
spite its left and right wing
divisions. has a foreign pol

fective in modifying the views
of the Conservative govern

Israel Must Accept Arab Sphere

that they flourished in Spain
under the Moors and suffered
overwhelmingly under the
Christian Spaniards.
At any rate 1t remains my
unshakable conviction that
only what is really good for
the Arabs is good for Israel,
and that no Israel can long
survive in peace that does not
identify itself with its neigh
bors-the children of Jacob
with the children of his
brother Esau, the children of
Isaac with those of his
brother Ishmael. and that
those Jews who have longed
to return home" must rec
ognize that that home is not
theirs alone.
If the Arab people are de-
termined to base their future
on nonalignment with either
of the great power blocs, as
they certainly are, Israel
must adopt the same policy
and Americans must stop
talking and thinking of Israel
as a 'bastion of the West"
Israel must go back to the
ideas of a great, enlightened
Western Jew, Judah Magnes.
and not promote with Amer
lean Jewish support the
ghetto-chauvinism of David
Ben-Gurion.
A settlement with the Rus
slams is possible in the Mid
die East. but it is inconceiv-
able along present lines. If
such a settlement. based on
mutual noninterference. is
betrayed by Russia the Arab
myth of Russian beneflcence
will evaporate.
If anyone can suggest any,
thing more rational, let him
do so.

The Silence on Foreign Affairs

This was true Of the late
Senator Walter F. George
when he was chairman Of
the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
The present chairman, Sem
ator Theodore Francis Green,
is the Senate's senior mem
Der. He is both kindly and
amiable. He presides over his
committee but does not lead
it.
The committee, however,
has plenty of younger and
more ambitious Democratic
members. Among them are
Senators Fulbright. Spark
man, Humphrey. Mansfield,
Morse and Kennedy. The
presidential ambitions of Sen
ators Humphrey and Ken
nedy are openly public. But
except for occasional efforts
by Senator Mansfield, who is
too much of a lone wolf to
be a decisive leader, they
have been remarkably silent
in the present crisis.
The excuses offered that it
is hot and humid in Wash
ington, that this is a politi-
cal year in which most men,
bers of Congress would like
to be home, that there is a
rush toward adjournment en-
failing long hours of work.

Nor am I anti-Israel, in
the sense of believing that an
