the refugees within it's borders.
AS citizens, they now have the
constitutional right to move out of
Jordan and into Iraq-one of the
countries in the Middle East which
can most easily absorb them.
A NUMBER OF surveys by neu-
trail sources have established that
under-populated Iraq needs at
least million people to settle
its land and help it develop. Large
scale resettlement of refugees on
her territory could be the answer.
On his part, King Hussein OF
Jordan should be very receptive
to the idea of the removal of refu-
gees from his territory. They have
been living in camps, without work
or hope, for the past 10 years,
and they have been deteriorating
physically and socially.
Their hostility represented real
danger to King Husse1n during his
trouble last year, when troops had
to be called in to keep the refugees
from overrunning the city of AM
man.
If they should now be encourag-
ed to leave the camps and move
to a place where they could do
useful work, their lives might yet
be reconstructed. And their i'm
proved lot could inspire the refu-
gees living in GAIA to ask for
similar treatment.
WITH INTERNATIONAL assist

be set up which would provide

SOME INTERESTING requests
for aid come to the Israel gov

Not long ago the Ministry of
Education and Culture received
such a request from far-off Cey-
lon.
There, the government is at
tempting to change the language
of instruction in the schools from
English to the native Sinhalese.
This presents particular problems
in advanced education, where
scientific literature with its technI-
cal Technology must be translat-
ed.
Similar problems were faced by
Israel when she began to use He
brew, an ancient language, as a
means of communication on mo-

use in reviving another language

and one escaped without injury.
In what was probably the worst

trapped in two second-fioor bed

The bodies OF the victims, all
