The Suez Blockade

Your April Is editorial on
The Suez Blockade" was in
tereSting, but it distorted the
whole issue of the Suez situa-
ton.
Although I agree that it
is time that the Suez Canal
be opened, the whole crux
of the strife has been avoided
by your article-namely, the
over l million Palestinian
refugees who must be re-
settled and fully compensated
before the issue can be solved.
The things your article
presented were only the
symptoms of the situation
and not the cause. Like in
medicine, sociological mala-
dies can have their symptoms
removed and yet persist
only to develop new symp-
toms at a later date.
Noticeable was the neglect
of one major symptom-the

criticized by the United Ma
tions for not adhering to its
directions for the peaceful
settlement Of the Arab
Israeli crisis.

Incomplete Pockooe9'

When reading your edito-
rial. incomplete Package?"
and Mr.. IONS letter, it oc-
CURED to me exactly how in
complete it is. What we
really need is not another
change to tack on to the
growing pile of amendments
and additions of the out
moded election system, but a
complete reworking of the
system.
When the United States
was founded, voting through
the States and electors was
the only method at all prac-
ticable. Today with lightning
communications, electronic
computers, ETC., the problem
Of speed and accuracy no
longer demands that we cut
the Nation up into baili-
wicks. The voting, at least
for President and Vice Pres
ident, should be under ma
tional instead of State con-
troll. This would not only
give the opportunity for vot-
ing in national possessions
such as the District, etc, it
would clear up most of the
civil rights difficulty, as the
Federal Government could
act in voting matters with
out stepping on the States
toes.
