I read with interest Doro-
thy Thompson's appraisal
of the Middle East crisis July
20. Miss Thompson, / sup
pose. is a lady first and a
journalist second. No one win
dispute the right of a lady to
battle her logic in a torrent
Of emotion. But the right of
a journalist to ply his trade
is not so unqualified. An
honest journalist does not
resort to irresponsible accu-
Stations and obvious distortion
Of facts when he presents his
case.
Miss Thompson apparently
believes that all the ills Of
the Middle East are attribute
able to the establishment of
the small state of Israel. She
accuses the leaders Of both
great parties in America Of
outright dishonesty because
they supported the existence
of this state. Their support,
she says, was "the most dis
gushing and cynical subjec-
ton Of honor, decency and
American interest to vote
grabbing" This charge, If it
be true, is a condemnation
not only of Governor Dewey
and President Truman, the
accused, but of millions of
Americans Of all faiths who
value their honor, decency
and love Of country at least
as much as Miss Thompson
values hers. Are all of us
dishonest. Miss Thompson,
because we believe that the
crisis in the Middle East is
the result Of extreme poverty,
hunger. and feudal institu-
lions that have weighted
down the wretched people of
this area for generations?
Are we dishonest If we believe
that the state of Israel can
show these unfortunate peo-
pie the way to rebuild their
homelands and benefit from
the industrial impetus of q
vigorous, frontier community.
