While Arab and Jewish leaders have put partisan demands above peace, the British have muddled, the Russians have conspired and our own government has flopped back and forth with dizzy

But they are a minority in Palestine as a whole, and even in the. areas they claim for their own, their majority is not over- ~~ whelming. “The Jews cannot find either security or pros- : wah without co-operative relations with the Arabs—the land is too small, the population too mixed, the natural resources too limited for any lasting solution which disregards their mutual interdependence.

The country is one of the strategic cross-roads of the world-—even more so in this age of oil, aviation and atomic power than in the past. It is inextricably involved in the dangerous international situation treated by Soviet
trigues in the Middle East. This explains in large part failure of the United Nations to function effectively so-far. International authority could not be made to stick without international force to maintain international agreement. But use of inter. national force was prevented by fear of Russian partici. * pation, and by unwillingness of small nations to co-operate.

A Rood to Disaster 3
EN high tariff Republicans in the House clamped down their own “iron curtain,” and behind it held secret hearings on the Reciprocal Trade Agreoments. Act, ++it- became plain-that they were up to no geod: nD Even. so, they didn't quite dare condemn this wise. and ~~ popular law- to die: Jute 12 as ait: would if-Congress failed —to-renew-it:-——- : t they iritended to restrict the authority it gives the President to make two-way agreements with other countries for the lowering of barriers to international. tradé. And they meant to allow it only a Arief new lease ‘oh 1ife, hoping that after the elections a Republican President would help them to get rid of it altogether. ~ Their intentions have now taken open form in a bill, - drafted behind that “iron curtain,” to cripple the Recipro-
year instead of the three asked by President Truman, Enactment of this bill would be a terrible, if not fatal, blow to the European Recovery Program, hitherto given bipartisan support in Congress. It would amount to notifying the world that America is turning back to economic isolation, Through ERP, America offers to help other nations toward prosperity and peace, one of the conditions being that they act to promote freer world trade. How | can we expect the condition to be met if America herself starts retreating down the old, disastrous road of restrictive tariffs? Perhaps the high-tariff Republicans don't care what happens to ERP and the world. Let them give thought, then, to what their bill could do to their own party and its hopes for winning control of the White House as well as Congress. For many years one of the Republican Party's heaviest handicaps has been a public suspicion that too many of its leaders take orders from selfish business interests behind closed doors. Can the Republican Congress now afford to tell the American people that a Republican victory next November would be followed hy a swift return to the —evil log-rolling system of writing tariffs?
