UN Carpenters Made No Provisions Against Propaganda Techniques, But Can Handle Arabs' Knotty Problems (Copyright, 1951, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) By DAVID NUSSBAUM UNITED NATION S, N. Y.— When the founding fathers at San Francisco first hammered the Unit e d Nations together plank by plank, they had no il- lusions about 'heir carpentry. They were building not only a world organization but also a global platform finer than any- thing the politicians had ever had . for disseminating propa- ganda. What the f o u n d i n g fathers probably foresaw less clearly, however, was that propaganda is a protean monster and that their great peace structure could be- come suborned to its purposes in many ways. The Security C o u n c i 1, top peace organ of the world organ- ization, was given the responsi- bility of policing the interna- tional neighborhood and disci- plining unruly elements. To carry out this assignment, of course, it was primarily in the business of hearing complaints by peaceful members of the community against the aggres- sive actions of the unruly. Arabs Chief Victimizers But it wasn't long before the propaganda possibilities in such a set-up were perceived by those who wanted to employ such techniques, or who were forced to by the failure of their other practices. The possibility lay in bringing complaints before the Council against a neighbor you • didn't like whether there was a decent case against him or not. It didn't matter whether the case fell flat; the object was to label the victim as an aggressor through the charges you made. One g r o up of UN members have become past members of propaganda—the Arab states of the Middle East. And the victim is their tiny neighbor, Israel. Arab attempts to .get Israel hailed before the Security Coun- cil are becoming a periodic af- fair. Over a period of three or four months last fall, the com- plaints came in thick and fast from Jordan, from Egypt, from Lebanon. To observers it looked like a gang-up. The Security Council, already immune to Arab antics in connection with Israel, placidly let the accusations pile up. But Egypt was a Council member, and finally there was no denying her determination. Thet only embarrassment suf- fered at the Council hearings was on the accusing side. The Arab charges impressed no one. On the other hand, the Council found it impossible to deny the validity of certain counter- chargts raised by Israel. The testimony of General William E. Riley, head of UN's permanent watchdog operation in Palestine, helped the Arabs little, Israel much. The only concrete result of the sessions was a decision to have a further report on whether Egypt would agree to call off its blockade of Israel-bound goods through the Suez Canal. If not, the Council indicated it meant to do something about that sit- uation. Score Public Works Plan The Israelis are accused of ex- tending a public works program into a portion of a demilitarized zone, accompanying this labor with a few stray shots in an Eastward direction. In an offi- cial complaint to the Security Council, venerable UN elder statesman Faris El Khouri of of Syria thunders about Israel "aggression." But the thunder has a familiar ring, and the charges on which it is based are even less serious than the ones that have come before. The main r e a s o n, however, why the Security Council can't work up any real interest in the Arab antics is tha'.:, no matter how much of a kicking around the Arab goliath is getting from the Star of David, there is a fully set up and functioning UN truce observation organization in the Middle East, which has primary responsibility on Se- ,. . .::4611kittok curity Council authorization to deal with such problems and for several years has been doing so quite well. The Council doesn't want to be bothered.
