Press Ileac- lion to M. E. Crisis

Once again, the press reacted
strongly in the new Middle East
crisis, demanding assurances to
Israel and condemning UN dou-
ble talk.
The Detroit Times, whose edi-
torials consistently demanded
justice for Israel and condemned
the pro-Nasser attitude of the
UN, declared last week that "the
value of U.S. promises are at
stake." A follow-up editorial
stated: "The UN and the United
States should be prepared to
exercise their responsibility if
the little 'Hitler of the Nile
moves from ranting into action;
if, 'in brief, Col. Nasser tries to
force UN troops out of Gaza, to
deny Israel right of passage into
Aqaba or use of the Suez
Canal."
Charging that UN Secretary
General Dag Hamrnarskjold "is
an advocate of utterly secret
diplomacy" and that a vacuum
was created in the Gaza situa-
tion, the Detroit News editori-
ally condemned the UN `S-G,
stating:
"When Israel took ; the Strip
over, the bureaucracy was re-
. composed of individuals, if not
sympathetic to Israel, at least
not actively hostile. The na- -
tive police was also screened,
and active antagonists were
eliminated. It therefore be-
came • certain that many of '
these people, charged with
Gaza operations, had dis-
credited themselves with
Ekypt..,They were_effective in
their jobs mainly because Is-
raeli higher administrators su-
pervised their - work.
"Any change which dis-

placed this organization, with-
out replacing it, was: certain
to create political chaos in
Gaza. 'Yet for more than four
months Hammarskjold looked
at this problem and did not
one thing about it, never once
suggesting that UN should be
ready with a substitute ad-
ministrative corps and a plan
for the police.
"Thus Hammarskjold pur-
posefully mane uvered to
create the vacuum; and noth-
ing remained - but for Nasser
to move into it. Meanwhile, he
wears an air of innocence
about the whole- affair. So
effective i s Hammarskjold's
secrecy that not even UN's
inner council seems to know
what is _on his mind."
In, a subsequent editorial, the
Detroit News warned that Nas-
ser is "playing for- hegemony
over the Arab world he can get
in only one way: by making
himself the most militant leader
against the Western world and-
its creature, Israel. Peace, there-
fore, is the last thing he wants.
. Peace would Cost him lead-
ership in the crusade against
Israel, the only real bond be-
tween Arab states. Peace would
recall to his enemies that he
did not after all prove very
glorious in war, and expose him
to his people as the fraud that
he is."
- Editorially, on Wednesday,
the Detroit News stated under
the heading "Farce Ends":
Now that the United Nations
Emergency Force is threat-
ened with dissolution, having
contributed practically noth-
ing to Middle East peace,
there is need of a scapegoat to
explain the failure. From the
view of General Secretary
Hammarskjold of UN, the
logical candidate is Israel.
Having changed the rules in
the middle of the game, the
secretary accuses Israel of
frustrating UNEF by refusing
to let it patrol Israel's side of
the border. Egypt prodded
him into saying this." .
The New York Herald Tri-
bune asserted editorially:
"It must be clearly demon-
strated that the international

organization does not e xis t
merely to underwrite the acts
Of Nasser and pr o t e c t him
against their consequences."
The New York Times warned
against putting too much • trust
in Nasser and stated that "neg-
otiations with him—to this date
—are beginning to evoke un-
comfortable mem ori es o f
Munich and Yalta."
In another editorial, the New
York Times state&
"The integrity of the UN
and of every member who
voted for the Middle Eastern
resolutions, including above
all the United States, is at
stake. The situation is danger-
ous, but it is • not as 'dangerous
as it would become if Nasser
were allowed to use the Char-
ter as an instrument of his
own tawdry brand of im-,
perialism."
In his syndicated column,
David Lawrence referred to a.
press conference held in Aus-
tralia where it was indicted that
if U.S. aid' for the Aswan Dam
had not been withdrawn Nasser
would have found another 'ex-
cuse for seizing the Suez 'Canal.
Lawrence stated: "Nasser, sti-
mulated by Soviet advisers, is
still bluffing his way, even as
Hitler and Mussolini did in the
1930s. The r e a 1 question is
whether the free governments
of the world have learned that
it doesn't . pay to appease dicta-
tors."
Iry Kupcinet's column in the
Chicago. Sun-Times this week
carried this significant item:
"A pro-I sr a el attitude_ is
sweeping the Pentagon, from
Adm. Arthur Radford, chairman
of t h e Joint
Chiefs of Staff,
dawn. The feel-
ng among the
military brass
is that Uncle
Sam should
now close
ranks and do
an about-face
in the thinking
of most Penta-
Adm. Radford g o n officials.
Military leaders now • believe
America should strengthen Is-
rael (1) as the Middle East out-
post for the free world and (2)
to enable Israel to retaliate
swiftly if Egypt causes a n y
trouble at the Gulf of Aqaba or
Gaza Strip. In the intimacy of
his own' circle, Adm. Radford
admits one problem: Sec. of
State John Foster Dulles has
yet to consult him on his ideas
for the Middle East!"
Rose o e Drummond, .in his
syndicated column from Wash-
ington, declared: "In many
ways, Israel is today resting her
safety and, perhaps even her
survival upon the good faith
and good offices of the United
States. If Nasser, continues" in
his present course, the United
Stats, by itself "andthrough. the
UN, will be called upon to prove
that these assurances are strong,
not weak. The peace and sta-
bility -of the entire Middle. East
will be at stake."
Inez Robb, another distin-
guished columnist, w a r n e d:
"Before World War • II there
were complacent people who
thought they could do business
with Adolf Hitler, a project
comparable to trying to do
business with a rattlesnake. If
experience has taught the. WeSt-
anything—and I'm not certain
it has—it should have proved
that it can't do business with
NasSer or any other . screaming
demagog 'with any more success
than with. Der Fuehrer."
Sylvia Porter, _ a recognized
authority on -eeOnomic matters,
in a recent syndicated column,
pointed out that Egypt is headed
for bankruptcy but warned
against too early confidence that
Nasser will fall from power and
added: "But the economic back-
ground for the political destrnt-
tiOn of 'Nasser is unmistakable.
The plight of Egypt flashes the
message that the nation cannot
long continue 'free' under Nas-
ser — unless we, the United
States, • make the blunder of
bailing hint out." -
