'Arabs Must Face Logic' of Refugee
Problem, Says Noted Christian Leader
"America's role must be to
continue to help both Israel and
the several Arab States," Rev.
Karl Baehr, executive director
of the American Christian Pal-
estine Committee, told the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Commit-
tee.
Rev. Baehr discussed the
problems and prospects of Arab
and Jewish refugees from first-
hand knowledge, for he has
spent part of each of the last
three years in the area, and was
in Israel shortly after the Is-
rael-Arab war ended. He has
discussed the refugee problem
with both Arab and Jewish lead-
ers.
Israel is successfully integrat-
ing refugees into her productive
and largely self-sustaining eco-
nomy, Rev. Baehr said. It would
likewise be possible for the Arab
States to integrate Arab re-
fugees, he continued.
However, despite financial
help from both the U.S. and
the UN, vast land resources, a
lack of manpower in Syria
and Iraq, a willingness on the
part of Israel to make com-
pensation for Arab lands
abandoned in Israel, and the
vast Arab income from oil, the
Arab States have done little
to resolve their refugee prob-
blern.
The Arab refugees are victims
of economic and political war-
fare against Israel by the Arab
States. By economic boycott and
blockade the Arab States hope
to achieve what they were un-
able to accomplish by war—the
destruction of the State of Is-
rael. The Arab refugees, he said,
are "propaganda pawns."
In 1952, Sir Alexander Gallo-
way, then head of the UNRWA
for Jordan, told Rev. Baehr, "It
is perfectly clear that the Arab
nations do not want to solve the
refugee problem. They want. to
keep it as an open sore, as an
affront against the UN and as
a weapon against Israel."
"The Arabs demand that Is-
rael cede territory, and yet they
demand that Israel admit to a
smaller area a large number of
Arabs who would be available
to cooperate in the threatened
resumption of hostilities. They
insist that Israel compensate for
Arab property, yet carry on a
blockade to cripple Israel's eco-
nomy," Rev. Baehr said.
He added that Arabs in UN
refugee camps get better food,
educational and health facili-
ties than do Arabs in neighbor-
ing villages. Non-refugee Arabs
often enter the camps as re-
fugees to avail themselves of the
facilities offered.
"It is economically and cul-

turally impossible for Israel to
solve both Jewish and Arab
refugee problems. Therefore,
the Arabs in u s t- undertake
speedily for the sake of the
refugees and to bolster the
economies of their countries
the settlement of their re-
fugees. Only in this manner
will the financial burden be
lifted from the UN and thus,
from the U.S. taxpayer.
"The moment the Arabs ac-
cept such logic, they will also
have accepted the facts neces-
sary to inspire a peace settle-
ment with Israel,' Rev. Baehr
told the Committee.
