Monroney Cautions U. S. Government
on Arming Near East as RussianBuffer ;
Rabbi Adler Speaks to Hadassah Parley
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
United States Government was
cautioned against offering large-
scale American military supplies
to the Arab countries by Senator
A. S. Mike Monroney, of Okla-
homa, who addressed the open-
ing session of the 40th annual
convention of the Hadassah),. at
the Hotel Waldorf Astoria, here.
Speaking before -4,000 delegates
and guests, Sen. Monroney said
that security against Commu-
nism will not be found "in the
wholesale arming" of any of the
states in the Middle East, "re-
gardless of treaty restrictions or
agreements."
"Certainly," the Senator said,
"we cannot hope to arna the
Arab states, or Israel for that
matter, -so that any of these
states could cope with the Red
Army. It would take the com-
bined forces of the United States
and our Western Allies to ef-
fectively block an invasion in
force by Russia in that area.
"Any such quantity and quality
of arms that would be useful in
withstanding such an invasion
would offer only a false hope of
security against invasion, while
upsetting the tenuous balance of
power that now exists between
Israel and the Arab states."
Emphasizing that Israel-Arab
relationships were steadily de-
teriorating, and that the Anglo-
Egyptian agreement providing
for the withdrawal of British
troops from the Suez Canal area
had upset the balance of mili-
tary power in the Middle East,
Sen. Monroney said it would be
"unfair to lay the blame for this

worsening of conditions on the
Eisenhower Administration, or
to be critical of individuals or
of policies."
The Senator asserted that the
world conflict between the forces
of the free world and Russia
"has raised the Arabs vastly in
international importance," and
has contributed to Arab intran-
sigence.
Hits Arabs for Rejecting Peace
"The Arabian countries want
no formal peace," Sen. Monroney
said. "Indeed, they refuse even
to sit down in conference to dis-
cuss peace berms. They seek, ac-
cording to all evidence, a contin-
uance of the present program of
boycott, economic and military
harassment, and other tactics
which they think will help force
Israel out of the Middle East."
On the other hand, the Sen-
ator added, "Israel is out to
force, if it can, a showdown
conference with the Arab
states for a final peace settle-
ment. Israel would like to get
on with the real job it has
cut out for itself. With hercu-
lean efforts needed to make
the country self - sustaining
and to complete its reclama-
tion program, Israel cannot
afford the waste and the ex-
pense in money and men for
continued military activities
on the present scale."
Sen. Monroney pictured the
United States as 'being "caught
in the middle of a situation that
is incapable of quick solution."
He said that strengthening of
the United Nations by the
United Sates, and an enlarged
American program of technical
and economic assistance to both
Israel and the Arab states, of-
fered the best hope of solving
the Middle East dilemma.
Mrs. Samuel W. Halprin, Zion-
ist Affairs chairman of Hadas-
sah, who presided at the session,
charged that the U.S. State De-
parment's "continued silence, in
the face of arrogant refusals by
the Arab states to enter into
negotiations leading towards
peaceful settlement" of their dif-
ferences with Israel, was only
"strengthening Arab resistance
to peace and security in the
Middle East."
She asserted that the State
Department's policy, no matter
how sincerely motivated, offered
the Arab states "no inducements
for peace or for concessions."

NEW YORK, (AJP) — "The
State of Israel shows the Jew to
be a maker of history," Rabbi
Morris Adler told the 4,000 Ha-
dassah. delegates. "Jewish his-
tory is not all the past," he said.
"It is contemporary and its in-
carnation in a present event re-
veals the capacity of the Jew
worthily to continue the signifi-
cant chronicle of his collective
career. -
Pointing out that "the
State of Israel gives body and
reality to the culture-pattern
of Jewish life," the spiritual
leader of the Shaarey Zedek
Synagogue in Detroit held the
Hadassah audience spellbound
when he declared:
"Since the inception of the
State a new concreteness has
been introduced into the pat-
tern of our group life as we
view it. The Hebrew of our
prayers, our festivals and Sab-
baths now have a background
against which they become
current cultural forces and not
merely memories and echoes
of earlier days. The tangibili-
ties of Jewish group life are
now before the eyes in the
language, the press, the lit-
erature and the manifold Jew-
ish activities and institutions
in Medinat Israel. The s e
