Mid-East 'Constant State of War'
Attacked in Gen. Yigal Allon'S Talk
"What the"Middle East needs
is tractors, not tanks," said Brig.
Gen. Yigal Allon, speaking re-
cently to a standing-room, ca-
pacity audience that overflowed
a State Hall lecture room at
Wayne University.
The former leader of the Pal-
mach, famed Israeli commando
force, and present member of
the Israeli parliament, stressed
the need for agreement among
Israel and the Arab countries,
if peace is to be preserved.
Allon said, "All of us, Israeli,
as well as Arabs, must forget
a few things in order to achieve
good relations; we must forget
the invasion, they must forget
their defeat; we must forget the
infiltration and they, the coun-
ter-attacks."
The reasons why Egypt must
maintain a constant state of
war, explained Allon, are re-
venge, the characteristic of the
militaristic Nasser dictatorship,
"which cannot stand a real de-
mocracy near its border with-
out fearing that this show -win-
dow of free people will attract
some of its own oppressed," and
the failure of Nasser's reforms,
due to his fear of the powerful
landlord class.
"I have no doubt of Nasser's
sincerity," stated Allon. "He
really wants to improve the
standards of life. But he cannot
afford this, because the great
number of officers supporting
his regime are sons of the land-
owning class."
"In 1948," he continued,
"when my forces surrounded
Nasser in the Negev, we had
lunch together. He admitted
they were fighting the wrong
battle, against the wrong peo-
ple. We agreed that foreign oc-
cupation of Egypt and its social
backwardness are the real en-
emies."
Allon suggested that a solu-

tion to the present crisis could
be attained by the Great Pow-
ers by restoring the destroyed
balance of power, with suffi-
cient arms to Israel, if not equal
in quantity with the Arabs, than
at least quality; by supplying
the entire Middle East with
tools, irrigation aids and better
health service; by encouraging
competition by ideological and
economic means, rather than
war; and by finding a solution
to the Arab refugee problem.
"Israel is not responsible for
the Arab refugee problem," said
Allon. "She didn't start the war
or ask them to leave the coun-
try. Yet, we are prepared to pay
our contribution toward a solu-
tion. Remember, of course, that
over 100,000 Jews fled from
Arab countries."

Will Mufti Head
State of Jordan?
By MILTON FRIEDMAN
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
(Copyright, 1956, Jewish
WASHINGTON — Haj Amin
el Husseini, t h e notorious
"Grand Mufti" of Jerusalem,
who supported Hitler, may be
installed as head of the state of
Jordan through Egyptian in-
trigues.
Diplomatic observers watched
as Egyptian Premier Nasser,
aided by Saudi Arabian oil dol-
lars, - intrigued to overthrow
remaining vestiges of British
influence in Jordan. If Nasser
fails to control Jordan, a coup
d'etat might follow. The Mufti
is ready to serve Nasser and
himself.
Nazi Germany's leading
Arab collaborator, the Mufti
used the slogan: "In Heaven
Allah, on earth Hitler." His
career of terrorism began in
1920 when he became leader
of a group organized to mur-
der Zionist settlers. He was
jailed by the British but
freed, ironically enough, by a
Jew, Sir Herbert Samuel, first
British High Commissioner of
Palestine.
It was Lord Samuel who de-
signated Amin as "Grand Mufti"
and perhaps even originated the
title. As British-appointed Mos-
lem religious leader, the Mufti
not only resumed anti-Zionist
agitation but turned against his
benefactors. He built an anti-
British terrorist organization.
Palestinian Arabs consider him
the spiritual godfather of the
present Egyptian "fedayeen"
suicide squads.
The Mufti was the evil genius
of- the Palestine strife of the
1930's. In 1941 he helped engi-
neer the pro-Nazi revolt in
Iraq. Escaping to Berlin, he be-
came Goebbels' chief Middle
East propagandist. He urged
Himmler to speed up the gas-
sing of European Jewry. He re-
cruited Moslems for the Nazi SS
corps. When the war ended he
craftily evaded trial as a war
criminal.
After the Palestine war,
Bing Abdullah of Jordan
emerged as the Arab states-
man most likely to make
peace with Israel. The Mufti
participated in intrigue that
culminated in Abdullah's as-
sassination. In 1951 the Mufti's
cousin, Mussa el Husseini, was
condemned to death by Jor-
dan for the murder of Ab-
dullah.
Today Nasser works closely
with the Mufti. This coopera-
tion was demonstrated at -the
Bandung Conference where
the Mufti helped Nasser ad-
vance Arab links with Com-
munism.
The Mufti rides the coattails
of Nasser's pursuit of a fantas-
tic goal. That goal is Egyptian
domination of the entire Mos-
lem world and the African con-
tinent.
Nasser has unleashed intrigue
and wild incite/Tient in countries
all the way from the Atlantic
to the Indian Ocean and from
the Mediterranean to Lower
Africa. His instruments include
not only the Mufti but a swarm
of similar renegades, exiles and
terrorists gathered together in
Cairo from all parts of the
Middle East and North Africa.
Never before in modern times
has there been organized in the
Middle East a ramified network
of such intense and widespread
subversion.

Cremation in Jewish Law
Cremation of the dead is con-
trary to Jewish , law. The law
requires that the body be re-
turned to the dust whence it
came, according to the account
of Adam's creation in the Bible.
Thus, there would - be no cere-
mony in Jewish tradition for
cremation.
