Direct Talks Only Way to Settle
Israeli War as UN Attempts Fail
By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN
(Jewish World News Service)
NEW YORK — Israel has ad-
vanced nearer to peace than
at any time since the proclama-
tion of the Jewish State.
There were numerous portents
of this in speeches by top Israeli
leaders in this country, Paris and
Tel Aviv and in reports of secret
discussions at the UN. But more
important than these was the
growing conviction that peace
would come not through the UN.
but by direct negotiations be-
tween Arabs and Israelis.

LACKS TIIE POWER
EVER since the tragic assassi-
nation of Count Bernadotte, it has
become more and more evident
that the United Nations is not the
proper agency for settling the
Palestine issue.
True, it is the most effec-
tive tribunal for the expression of
international public opinion, but
it is only that and nothing more
for the time being.
It has not the facilities and
power for implementing its own
decisions and it can exert only
moral force which, although not
to be ignored or underestimated,
is however, not sufficient for
settling complicated issues such
as that of Palestine.
Probably the prestige of the
late mediator might have accom-
plished something more substan-
tial, but with his death, that hope
has gone and the settlement of
this problem, as of a good many
other international problems, has
to be accomplished outside the
UN.
• • •
POWER POLITICS
THIS BECAME obvious after
the Security Council had adopted
the British-Chinese resolution to
use sanctions against Israel in
case its army did not give up its
hard won new positions in the
Negev and Galilee.
This resolution, and especially
its support by the American del-
egation, has served to crystallize
opinion against the UN as an
effective agency for settling this
controversy.
For an organization whose
chief and only power is moral, to
vote the use of sanctions against
Israel, while ignoring the six
months aggression and invasion
of Palestine by the armies of sev-
en Arab states, showed that it
was not only militarily power-
less, but also demoralized by
power politics and was lacking
the necessary prestige to bring
a settlement.
The initiative passed from the
UN to the parties directly con-
cerned in the problem and this,
more than anything else, advanc-
ed the prospects of peace.

WHILE THE ISRAELI ARMY
and government arc fighting in
the Negev and in the United
Nations for a just and liberal
settlement which would bring
peace in Israel and the middle-
east, extremist Jewish elements
in and outside Israel are doing
their best to make the fight more
difficult and peace further away.
The Irgunists and Sternists
are, fortunately, suppressed for
the time being.' But other ele-
ments are arising to take their
places in the field of politics and
hate.propaganda, if not in acts
of violence. One such attempt is
doubtless the new propaganda
campaign launched in this coun-
try with the arrival of ;my.
Moshe Sneh.
Dr. Sneh is a well-known and
responsible political leader of
Israel, a man who has greatly
contributed to the success of one
of the epics of the post war pe-
riod—the organization of the so-
called "illegal" immigration in-
to Palestine.
But Dr. Sneh has now, for po-
litical reasons, joined hands with
extremist groups in Israel which
have made a hate-campaign
against England and an aggres-
sive chauvinistic expansionism
the chief planks of their pro-
Soprano.
Brandeis President
gram. These groups go under
various names and range from
the Irgunists to the Communists.
Dr. Sneh has come here with
a mission to extend his party's
campaign to American Jewry
and to obtain financial and po-
litical aid for it.
• • •
PRO-SOVIET LINK
DR. SNEWS PARTY is the
"Mapam". It is a party with a
fine record of labor achieve-
ments in Israel. but at the pres-
ent moment the chief plank of
that party is a pro-Soviet orien-
tation for Israel and it is con-
ducting, in. partnership with the
Commur,',sts, one of the most
poisonous campaigns against
England, which has on previous
occasions led to terror and po-
litical demoralization in Israel
and to the undermining of the
position of the half a million
Jews in Great Britain.
This writer does not know
enough about internal affairs in
Israel to judge whether Dr.
Sneh and his party are correct
in counseling their policy for
Israel at the present moment.
I am willing to concede that Dr.
Sneh knows the situation better
than we do and is probably cor-
rect in his politics.

NOT U. S. PROBLEM
BUT WHAT HAS this strictly
local Israeli party struggle to do
with the United States and with
American Jews? It has been pro-
claimed by Dr. Emanuel Neu-
mann, ittblai Silver, Rabbi Ste-
phen Wise, Mr. Proskauer and
other leaders of Jewry that Is-
raeli internal politics and Amer-
ican politics are not to mix.
We are friends of the Israelis
and want to help them in their
economic, industrial problems.
Why should these people try to
involve us in their own petty,
or big political squabbles which
are thousands of miles away
from us?
Are we not absorbed enough
with Israel as it is, to be drag-
ged into more internal petty
squabbles between their parties?
