Foreign News Commentary

United Press International
MOSCOW (UPD— Fifty years
after the revolution, the Soviet
press is still what founding
father Vladimir I. Lenin once
called it: “The sharpest weapon
ol our party.”
The Soviet reporter and editor
as well as the writer and
broadcaster is expected on any
story to ask himself, “is this
good for my country: is it good
for communism?”
Any illustration ol the man
agement of news as an
instrument of national policy
has been afforded most recently
by the journalistic treament of
the Middle Eastern crisis.
The unsophisticated Soviet
reader who relies entirely on
the national communications
media must unavoidably draw
the following conclusions:
—The war was started by a
group of Israeli extremists,
inspired, goaded and equipped
by American and British
imperialists.

loving people mercilessly victi
mized by brutal Israeli aggres
sors.
-The goal of Israeli and
American policy is to restore
colonial rule in the Arab world.
—Without American interven
tion, Israel could not have
defeated the Arabs.
The Israelis are no better
I Inin the Nazis and are
against the Arabs.
What the Soviet pre.-.-, has not
reported is even more reveal
ing. No ordinary Soviet reader,
for example, would know that:
—The Arab countries declared
war against Israel in 1947 and
have since then refused to
recognize its existence and
vowed it , annihilation.
—lnfiltrators from Syria,
Jordan. Lebanon, and at one
time from U.A.R.. for years
have been harassing Israel.
—The United Slates and other
Western countries have given
incomparably more economic
and military aid to the Arab
countries than to Israel.
Severely criticized
The Soviet communications,
media have been severely
criticized not. only privately by
Soviet intellectuals but at the
highest level of the party and
government leadership.
Speakers at the 23rd party
congress in 1966 expressed
displeasure al the fact that
Soviet people often hear news
about themselves first from the
Western broadcasting stations.
And. ol course, there is much
that Soviet listeners learn about
themselves and the outer world
from the popular newscasts of
the British Broadcasting Corp,
and the Voice of America.
The Western broadcasting
institutions will continue to
enjoy huge audiences here as
long as they supply information
and views which are ignored by
Soviet press and radio.

ISRAEL'S BORDERS
hove changed significantly since the nation's birth in the 1948 partition of Palestine. The
United Nations partition plan, accepted by Israel but rejected by the Arabs, split the ter
ritory equally between the new Jewish state and Arabs with Jerusalem internationalized. In
the first Arab-Israeli war that followed, Israel gained considerable ground, including Je
rusalem's New City. Jordan held the historic Old City. In the 1956 round, the Syrian and
Jordanian fronts remained quiet while Israel overran Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. She with
drew after international assurances that included open navigation of the Gulf of Aqaba,
commanded by the Egyptian strongpoint of Stearm El Sheikh. Egypt s blockade of the gulf
touched off the latest clash. Israel again occupies Sinai plus all of Jerusalem and large
chunks of Jordan and Syria. This time she indicates she intends to hold on to key points.
