Starved, Beaten, Panic Stricken Jews Push
Blindly Toward Holy Land, Pawn of World Power Politics, Only to Find Door Closed
This is the “story behind the story” of the latest crisis in Palestine, It tells what is happening behind the scenes, as well as on the stage, and why—and what is going to happen next. The story is told in terms of long-term, fundamental factors which explain—not only the current crisis in the Holy Land, but the other similat crisis: which have gone before and the further crisis which will probably come later. By WALLACE R. DEUEL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—New stark. and. terrible tragedies loomed | over the Holy Land today. The tragedies cast their shadows far out over the world. They darkened chancelleries 10,000 miles away. The first victims of the new tragedies will be Europe's tormented and desperate Jews. They are the starved, beaten, tortured and panic=

{is happening in Palestine? __ Reasons Behind Struggle
The basic cause of the tragedy is a struggle among four great | conflicting world forces—America | and Britain, whose interests co-in-cide; the Soviet Union; world ! Jewry and the Arabs. . Why are these forcés engaged in- such a struggle? There are two main reasons why | Palestine is of crucial importance in world politics: | -—Its location. { The fact that the religious, historical and patriotic passions of | three great world faiths center in | this tiny. Holy Land — Christians, {Jews and Moslems. Palestine lies at the crossroads of | empires and history, of the highways that connect Europe and Asia and Africa. The country that con‘trols this crossroads controls also much that happens in all three of these continents too. Britain Needs Highways | The British Empire and commonwealth can survive in anything like their present form only so long as they can freely use these highways. The country that controls Palestine also controls access to the | vast oil reserves of the Middle East. But Palestine is not just a pawn {of great power politics. It is also {the Holy Land of Christians, Jews land Moslems alike,

Mors em ere ean set the Arahs- wflame all "| the way fiom Casablanca to the {China sea. Anything that’ fooks like a threat { to the Jewish position there can irouse all world Jewry. Most especially it can rouse Zionist Jews in the U. S. where the Jews make their wishes felt at the polls just as everyone else does. These, then. are the raw materials of the tragedy. | Here is the storygef. how these raw materials have" combined to cause the present crisis: | "Seek Jewish State | The Zionist Jews know exactly | what they want. They are striving with passionate singleness of | purpose to achieve it. They want Palestine. They want the Holy Land to be a Jewish state The Jews want Palestine because of their deep religious and ‘historical attachment to the country and because they believe they willgnot {be accepted and cannot survive | anywhere else. But the Arabs want Palestine, | | too. Both the Arabs in the Holy Land | itself and those throughout the
» | whole Arab world want Palestine
{to be an Arab state, not a Jewish one. | The Arabs, moreover, strive to | achieve their aim with a singleness | of purpose as passionate as that of the Jews. The Russians too, kmow exactly what they want, and they go about getting it with cold-blooded singleness of purpose, The Soviets want to control the middle east.. They want to do this in order to “cut the world—and the British empire and commonwealth —in two,” and in order to shut off. the U. 8. and Britain and everyone else from the oil of the Jmiddle east If the Soviets succeed in this, they will enormously’ strengthen their own power in the world and disastrously weaken the strength of the U. 8. and Britain, Arabs Become Hostile °
In this savage struggle for survival and for power, America and Britain have made a mistake which has proved almost fatal—they have tried to accomplish two different and conflicting purposes. The result, thus far, has been that they have accomplished neither one. This purpose can be accomplished only if the Arabs are friendly, or weak, or both. However, America and Britain have also tried to accomplish another purpose in their middle east policy. They have tried.to win the support of world Jewry to their side in world—and domestic— politics.
They have tried to do this by
| supporting Jewish immigration into
Palestine. But the more Jews that America
(and Britain have encouraged and
helped to go to Palestine, the more hostile the Arabs have become. This hostility has jeopardized | America's and Britain's position in It has done, so in two ways: ! First, the Arabs have created a political, a police and a military problem by their own" resistance Wi | Zionism! Second, ‘the Arabs are turning towards the Soviets for help against
