UNITED NATIONS (WUP)—-It
is the view of this writer that
the grave situation in Vietnam
and America’s role there cannot
be divorced from the current
crisis in the Middle East which
has this organization—divided as
it is — completely befuddled
even as Vietnam has the United
States both divided and confus
ed.
At the outset this writer wishes
to state that he is against all
wars which seldom settle any
problems. However, he also
wishes to note that had it not been
for America’s all-out World War
II effort, belated as it was, Hit
ler’s Third Reich might have
been ruling the world today in
satanic glee. y
As it now seems clear, the
world has not yet been freed of
dictators and peoples set on ag
gression, yea, even on genocide
no less gruesome than that at
tempted and wrought by the Nazi
butcher. Red China, for example
—Hanoi acceding — has openly
proclaimed for the whole world
to hear that aggressive war con
stitutes its current and future
policy. Vietnam appears to be
a proving-ground for such a
policy and India finds itself in
the shadow of the threat from
the north as do the other South
east Asia sttates. Here lies the
crux at the present U. S. policy
in the area.
And what about the Middle
East? A similar situation obtains.
The only difference is in the cast
of characters. Here, as we have
all recently witnessed, the Arab
dictators were set on a policy of
genocide and had it not been for
the heroic action of the Israelis
the world would have witnessed
a second holocaust, a bloodbath
which, as Golda Meir pointed out,
would hardly have left a single
Israeli alive. All through this
danger period, shocking to say,
the Soviets not only stood by the
would-be perpetrators of gen
ocide. They also armed and sup
ported them. They still do —
shamelessly! True, Peking also
played an indirect part, as did
Hanoi. Both trained Ahmad Shu-
bairy’s Arab guerrillas.
Thus we see that within the
human race there exists (within
some peoples) an evil strain bent
on the destruction, spiritual and
physical, of other peoples, more
particularly the Jews. And since
several Big Powers are involved
in this diabolical scheme, if is
vital that the people of Amer
ica understand exactly why
President Johnson and his Ad
ministration are pursuing a pol
icy aimed at nipping in the bud
the aggression emanating from
Peking and Hanoi, an aggression
which, if not stopped, may in
time engulf the whole world.
Charles Alpert still continues to
gain greater strength, but also
keeping dose to home. Harry
Bauman is also coming along
nicely, doing no visiting, while
Mollie Bauman is getting out
and visiting the club.
Molly Brandi is back in her
home in 9t Petersburg Beach,
following surgery on her eyes,
Kate Cohen doing nicely, but un
able to visit. She can have vis
itors. Mae De Weil getting about
without the use of her crutches.
Sol Eisenberg still at Bayside
Manor and anxious to see some
of his old cronies. Eli Gelman
coming along nioely. Adele Las-
day is well and strong enough to
visit her friends at Club Meet
ings.
Anne J. Livingston still unable
to get out and visit but she can
have callers at home. Kasper
Loewenstein greatly improved.
Bernard Miller fully recovered
and visiting the dub. Ethel and
Harry Rosenberg both fully re
covered and making the rounds.
Max Sohlachter recovering slow
ly at home from his eye attack,
being able to see dimly but un
able to visit.
It is certainly for this same
reason why President Johnson
set forth his five points on the
question of the Middle East
crisis.
During his press conference
last Friday, the President put his
cards on the table quite simply
when he spoke about “resisting
aggression.” Said he: “I think if
you saw a little child in this
room that was trying to waddle
across the floor and some big
bully came along and grabbed it
by the hair and' started stomp
ing it, I think you’d do something
about it. And I think we thought
we made a mistake when we saw
Hitler moving across Europe and
the concessions that were made
by the men oarrying umbrellas
at that time, I think in retrospect
we thought that was a mistake.”
Speaking of the present crisis,
Johnson said: “We’re going to do
whatever it is necessary to do
to see that the aggressor does
nolt suoceed!”
The original design of Amer
ica’s sovereign Seal submitted to
the Continental Congress by Jef
ferson, Adams and Franklin car
ried a biblical theme showing
Moses and the Israelites safe on
the shore with the aggressive
Egyptians engulfed by the Red
Sea — the scene encircled with
this legend: “Rebellion to tyrants
is obedience to God.” The “tyr
ants” then were the oppressing -
British, and the Israelites rep
resented the redeemed Ameri
cans.
It seems to this writer that
President Johnson’s current pol
icy vis-a-vis the uncompromising
aggressors in Sou|theast Asia —
and if there it must certainly also
be applied to any development
in the Mideast—is in the finest
tradition of the Founding Fa
thers who had found it worthy
to select this Old Testament
UNITED NATIONS (WUP) —
The issue of anti-Semitism had
its first bearing here when the
Third Committee began to de
bate the draft International Con
vention on the Elimination at
All Forms of Religious Intoler
ance.
The question was brought up
by Mise Patricia R. Hariris, U. S.
delegate, in the course of her
speech which soared the Soviet
Representative who, she charged,
attempted “to turn the Third
Committee into a forum for po
litical vituperation, and to make
outlandish charges about the ac
tions of other Governments in
question” under discussion.
Declaring that the Commission
on Human Rights “properly de
cided to include the reference to
anti-Semitism in Article VI” of
the Convention, Miss Harris told
the delegates that “anti-Semitism
is without doubt the classic ex
ample of religious intolerance
and discrimination in its most
persistent and pervasive form.”
Criticizing the Soviets and
their friends who voiced strong
objection to the use of the term
“anti-Semitism,” Miss Harris
said: “Whatever the technical
merits of the arguments in favor
of avoiding mention of any par
ticular form of religious intoler
ance, such arguments are not
persuasive to those of us who
have witnessed the transition of
anti-Semitism from a simple
matter of prejudice into a ‘final
solution’ for millions of Jews . . .
We will refuse to use this issue,”
she added, “for hurling political
brickbats.
“We do not wish to engage in.
a useless debate with the Soviet
Union about the treatment of
Jews in the USSR. The delegate
theme as the motto of the new
Republic.
Although this Franklin-Adams-
Jeffersan Seal was later substi
tuted with another Seal >— also
linked to Egypt—currently print
ed on all dollar bills, this might
be a good time for the Admini
stration to mint a coin or issue
a stamp carrying this significant
emblem with the legend “Rebel
lion to tyrants is obedience to
God.” A reminder mighjt do some
of the “Doves” some good.
There can be no compromise
with evil.
of the Soviet Union appeared to
suggest that Soviet Jews had a
greater measure of freedom than
Jews in my own country. This
ridiculous contention cannot have
been made with seriousness at
purpose . , .
