Stand kw Peace in Middle
East Security for Israel

fore his senior's death for a

Senator Homer Ferguson, in
a statement to The Jewish News
on the issue presently affecting

free and independent Israel
and that in the last six years,
as a member of the Senate ap-
propriations committee he la-
bored for maximum aid to Is-
rael.
"That's on the record," he
said. "It is not one of those
falsehoods that are dragged
across a hitherto unpoluted
Michigan political road over
which some of my opponents
would now pull along Israel,
that democratic state that
needs encouragement, not to
be turned into a political foot-
ball."

Senator Ferguson's friends
this week asserted that he has
been and "continues to be in-
fluential in bringing up the Israel
issue for discussion at meetings
with President Eisenhower when
policies were discussed, that he
is important to the country in

McNamara Says State Department Policy on Israel is 'Shortsighted'

Patrick V. McNamara, Demo-
cratic candidate for the U. S.
Senate, this week said that the
diplomacy of Secretary of State
Dulles and the Republican ad-
ministration in their handling
of Near East problems was
shortsighted.
"There is but one solid bastion
of democracy in the Near East,"
McNamara said. "That, of course,
is Israel, and everybody knows
I it. Yet the Republican adminis-
tration has reversed the so-
called '2-T' policy of Truman
and the late Senator Taft, which
gave solid support to the eco-
nomic growth and national sta-
bility of the Near East state.
"Under present policies, the
avowed enemies of Israel are

being given weapons of war with Near East Arab states refuse

no guarantees that these will
not be used against our sure
friend in the Near East.
"It seems to me that it is the
duty of Secretary Dulles to en-
courage negotations that will
lead to a negotiated peace be-
tween the Arab nations and Is-
rael. -
"It is my belief that American
diplomacy is being affected to
the detriment of Near East
peace by the political policies of
the American-owned oil cOrn-
panies.
"The ships of Israel are 'de-
nied the use of the Suez Canal,
which is supposed to be open to
the ships of all nations; the

even to admit that Israel is a
state. These are not the policies
that insure peace."
