Most Americans know only English.
True a considerable number pick Up
few grammatical fundamentals of some
foreign tongue in high school or college and
acquire meager vocabulary which soon
shrinks from dsuse after they get out Of
school but even when their knowledge is
freshest and best they usually are pretty
poor at it.

What is happening in Lebanon is an ex-
ample Of brazen aggression. The rebels are
obtaining arms and support from Syria
or from the United Arab Republic. which it
is now called and the rebels refuse to
let L. n. observers patrol the border or see
Just how much aid is coming from Syria
In fact. United Nations observers were
fired On and refused entry to those sections
Of the border which are now controlled by
the rebels
If the United Nations is to be an effcc-
tive force and indeed if the United Nations
is going to be success in the job Of keep
ing world peace. then this challenge can
not be ignored. The United Nations must
assemble suitable police force and send
it TO Lebanon and seal the border
The government Of Lebanon has already
asked the United Nations to seal its land
and sea frontiers with armed forces. to
step the flow Of all supplies to Lebanese
rebels This was an Official governmental
request

INFORMED circles report that the Penta-
gon is strong y averse to the use of Z. s.
armed forces in Lebanon. II is said that the
danger Of h conflict with Russia is great
in the event that IT, S forces are sent in.
The Pentagon is not opposed to the use
Of United Nations personnel. II prefers
that the armed forces Of smaller countries
be used in Lebanon, as an effort to keep
the peace and avoid a showdown with So
Wet Russia.
This view is expressed after the Soviet
Union has threaten to regard any force
sent into Lebanon as an aggressive force.
The hint behind this announcement is that
the Soviet Union would be inclined to send
volunteers to aid the Lebanese rebels.
1t is stated in Washington that Pentagon
officials want all the power Of T. S. forces
in the eastern Mediterranean, including the
L. S. fleet to be available for subsequent
contingencies if the Russians attempt TO
overwhelm any United Nations force sent
into Lebanon. This explanation does not
impress us as much as the cold reasoning
behind the known truth that the armed
forces of small nations would stir less re
sentiment in Lebanon than would those n
