UN SPECIAL
Winds of Another Cold War
By DAVID HOROWITZ
UNITED NATIONS (WUP) —
The winds of another cold war
were blowing hard from Czecho
slovakia in the direction of the
23rd General Assembly which is
going into its second week of
general debate.
By the time the wind struck
the UN buildings, however, it
appeared to have been greatly
reduced in intensity and velocity.
Within 48 hours time the voices
of the two Big Powers, Rusk and
Gromyko, were heard in the
general debate, and, while the
Czechoslovak issue — not on the
formal agenda — was mentioned
by both, it became obvious that
it would not stop the two Big
Powers from entering into in
formal talks on both the Middle
East and the nuclear armaments
race threatening a dangerous re
birth.
Even before Gromyko had
made his speech — the day after
Rusk delivered his address, much
of which was in strong criticism
of the USSR — the U.S. Secre
tary of State called on the Soviet
Foreign Minister in the Soviet
Mission for their first consulta
tion on the Middle East — and
this move set the pace for a rapid
and multiple round of such talks
which took in the Foreign Minis
ters of Israel, Jordan, and the
UAR. Moreover, with the arrival
of Britain’s Minister of External
Affairs Stewart, the United King
dom will join the two Big Powers
in what looks like a real, de
termined effort to get the Jarring
Peace Mission at least off the
ground.
One thing is certain — and
Abba Eban has let all those con
cerned know in no uncertain
terms — Israel will not let her
self become the pawn or the
scapegoat of Big Power politics
and there is some indication that
Washington will not let Jerusa
lem down.
Indeed, the intervention of the
Big Powers, actively, in the
mounting crisis reflects their
consciousness that the whole
thing is too big to become a

bargaining fracas between the
directly-concerned parties. The
U.S., the USSR, Britain and
France are surely not playing
this role out Of a sentimental
desire to mediate as good offices.
Their vital interests, too, are at
stake.
The Soviets, whose influence is
strongly felt, have gotten a head
start in their maneuvering in be
half of the Arabs. Their fleet in
the Mediterranean has been aug
mented in a manner that may
soon overshadow the potency of
the U.S. Sixth Fleet. Washington
is worried.
But the UN is a slow-moving
organization and global events,
such as the tragedy of Czecho
slovakia and Vietnam, happen
despite its existence. Also, as the
whole world knows, on the very
eve of the Six-Day War when
the existence of Israel hung in
the balance, the UN did not move
a finger. Thus, at this uncertain
stage, getting talks started some
where, somehow is more import
ant to delegates than the terms
of peace so greatly desired by
Israel, but even in this area of
apparent gloom and confusion
there are at least a number of
informal proposals from all sides.
But these will avail nothing so
long as the malcontent Arabs
refuse to recognize Israel and
sit down and talk over differ
ences. Acceptance of direct ne
gotiations by the Arabs will be
a test of their sincerety. Failing
this, Israel has no other course

California table grapes “until
such time as the fair and decent
wage scales and working condi
tions which most Americans en
joy be recognized by the growers

lines intact.
In full recognition of the pres
ent tense situation, and not being
unmindful of Arab-Soviet trick
ery, Moshe Dayan recently
warned that Israel must be pre
pared for the eventuality of re
newed battle. He had in mind a
possibly combined Arab Soviet-
supported surprise attack. “We
must be ready to achieve full
victory,” he said. “We cannot
prepare only partially. It’s not
like other spheres, such as farm
ing where preparations can be
gradual. We cannot afford to
lose. We cannot put off prepara
tions to meet a war, even if
hostilities do not break out right
now. We must gear our way of
life to this,” he emphasized.
Israel’s position here at the
UN is clear: “We shall respect

NEW YORK (JTA) — The

Square Garden on Dec. 2 and

William A. Wexler, B’nai B’rith

He said the Garden event
would be the start of a year
long national observance by the
500,000-member organization. Mr.
Schary described his plans for
the presentation as “a showcase
of B’nai B’rith in action.”
He said programs would be
dramatized at the Garden in
sketches by well-known play
wrights with leading roles to be
performed by prominent actors.
