New Year 1958 to Bring
Continued Hope for Peace
By the Oak-Woodser
Hope is a big word in a world
so long engaged in an East-
West struggle that, with one
wrong turn, could bring disaster
of a kind we can still not quite
envision.
Yet, as we approach a new
year, we look for positive signs
that tensions are diminishing,
that understanding is increas-
ing, that hope of a world at
peace is not out of the question.
During the year that will pass
completely next week, we have
seen that the Middle East has
remained the world's number
one trouble spot.
Early in 1957, Egypt and Is-
rael were still at odds over
Sinai. Later, that having abated
somewhat, Turkey and Syria al-
most came to blows and just a
few weeks ago, Jordan and Is-
rael were engaged in a few bor-
der skirmishes.
Yet, with all the near fire-
works, there was no war and
even some lessening of ten-
sions in the area. And at
year's end, reports are flying
thick and fast that there may
be some settlements made in
the troubled Near East before
long.
To a great extent, the Sinai
campaign of a year ago Novem-
ber did much to call attention
to the problems that exist in the
area. Even though Israel was
censored at the United Nations,
a moral victory was won in the
eyes of the world.
More than that, people began
looking at the area of the Mid-
dle East in a new light, recog-
nizing it for what it is—the
trouble spot of the world.
Today, no other region oc-
cupies so much international
discussion—in the UN cham-
bers, at the NATO conference
of last week, in the offices of
statesmen, presidents, dictators
and secretaries of state, as does
the Middle East.
It is difficult to believe that
with so much attention focused
on it, the Middle East rep-
resents the threat to world
peace that it did just the year
before last!
By now, statesmen and news-

men and plain ordinary citizens
recognize the basic problems,
the causes of possible flareups,
the bases on which peace is to
be attained.
There may be remaining a
hostility by Arab toward Is-
raeli for many years yet, but
there is also possible now the
hope that a peace settlement-
ment may be reached. And
even a peace without full con-
viction is still better than an
armistice.
While we wait to greet the
New Year 1958, we can keep
on hoping that we may yet see
peace in our time. With rockets
and sputniks and intercontinen-
tal missiles, it's difficult to vis-
ualize how we can have a war.
