Friday, December 27, 1957—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS- 1 0 The Suburban Community Heb•ewAcademy 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- I Turover Society Begins Project for Second Grove of Trees in Israel to Make Move 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.
