Wall Street Journal Clears U.S.-Israel Policy Stand

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Letters
of criticism by numerous read-
ers of the Wall Street Journal
of an editorial, published by the
newspaper Aug. 12, which was
interpreted to imply that it was
a mistake to recognize Israel,
produced a second editorial in
the Wall Street Journal outlin-
ing what it thinks the American
policy toward Israel and the
Arab countries should be.
Declaring that one of the dif
ficulties, in-so-far• as American
policy is concerned, is that any
discussion of the Arab - Israel
problem seems to arouse almost
as many passions in the United
States as in the Middle East,
the new editorial states:

"Yet the danger of that explosion
is not going to disappear by being
ignored. If we are going to have
any successful policy in that area
of the world it must deal realisti-
cally with the Arab-Israeli dispute.
Moreover, any discussion of that
dispute that hopes to be reasonably
dispassionate must begin, it seems
to us, with a recognition of a few
basic considerations.
"The first of these is that Israel
exists. Whatever the controversies
over its origin,. Israel today is an
established country with a stable
government, a progressing economy
and a loyal citizenry. It is not
going to go away, and. if its Arab
neighbor try to .push it into the

sea they will have to make war
on a determined foe.
"The second is that the thing
called variously Arab nationalism
or Pan • Arabism also exists, It is,
to be sure, somewhat difficult 'to
define because its binder is neither
a common government, a common
race nor a common religion. Yet
though its form be intangible, the
evidence is overwhelming that
there is a powerful common feel-
ing among these people. Whether
the world likes it, the world must
deal with it. And for Israel this
means that in any attempt to take
more territory . it would have to
make war against the whole Arab
area.
"From these two basic considera-
tions, there follows another. Israel
and the Arab world must either
mutually recognize the existence of
the other or the danger of war will
be ever-present. The maintenance
of peace does not require that they
be friends. It does require that
they accept the realities, one of
which is that a war might•not re-
main just a war between them and
that they themselves would be en-
gulfed in a general war.
"Now obviously the first hope is
that Israel and the Arab countries
come to this mutual acceptance
voluntarily. Perhaps this is not so
vain a hope as it may appear. There
are signs the expansionist segment
in Israel is not as strong politically
as it seems; Israel has made a num-
ber of overtures for diplomatic ex-
changes with Mr. Nasser. There is
also some evidence that the war-
whoops of Mr. Nasser and his
cronies are not really as full of
fury as they sound. There are, we
may be sure, hard-headed realists
on both sides of the Israeli-Arab
borders.

"But it is equally obvious that
this hope, all alone, is not a very
reliable one," the editorial con-
tinues. "Certainly it is not enough
for the United States, or the United
rations, to rely only upon it to
preserve the peace between, these
enemy camps. So the question is:
What attitude should the United
States adopt toward both Israel
and the Arab world with regard
to the hostility between them?
"It seems to us that the answer
must flow from those same basic
considelations. The U. S. must ac-
cept-the reality of the Arab move-
ment as well as the reality of Israel.
We must also recognize that an
Arab-Israeli war is most likely to
occur if either side gets the idea
that it does not risk disapproval of
the West if it is aggressive, or, con..
versely, that in the face of a hostile
West the only way it can protect
itself from the other is by war.
"Then at least the aim of U. S.
policy can be clear. We should seek
to make it clear that we are neither
'anti - Arab' and 'pro - Israel' nor
'anti-Israel' and 'pro-Arab' when it
comes to aggression by either of
them against the other. We extend
friendship to both but we do not
extend friendship to the point of
countenancing aggression by either.
"Admittedly this policy is easier
to state than to carry out. Hereto-
fore our friendship for Israel has
been cleared than our sympathy for
Arab aspirations; for one reason or
another we have unquestionably
given, the Arabs an excuse to charge
us with being both 'pro-Israel' and
'anti-Arab.' Hence our efforts to
rectify this balance may leave the
impression that we are over-weight-
ing the Arab side; this could cause
political misinterpretations both
abroad and here at home.
"But the more pressing thing now
is to balance the scale. This is
clearly what President Eisenhower
was attempting to do in his speech
to the United Nations: Somehow,
and by every diplomatic means, we
must convince the Arab peoples
that we are not out to block their
legitimate aspirations, that we are
not giving aid and comfort to any
imagined expansion plans of Israel
—but neither will we sanction Arab
acts to drive the Israelis into the
sea."
