WASHINGTON — Despite the threat to Israel from leftist Arabs armed with the same types of wea- pons Russia supplies to North Vietnam, American policy-makers are de-escalating American com- mitments to Israel. The United States does not want to find itself linked with Israel's defebse. This is not because of anti-Jewish prejudice or dislike of Israel. The reasons are more subtle and ensue from fears that United States backing of Israel would undermine the shaky, "pro-west- ern" Arab kingdoms of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The U. S. policy makers private- ly reassure Israel, in increasingly vague terms, of support against aggression. But the 19th anniver- sary of Israel's independence was observed in Washington without a single strong reassurance from any important spokesman for the exe- cutive department of the govern- ment. Just at the time that Syrian ter- rorist provocations escalated, offi- cial Washington grew cautious and detached. The American Ambassa- dor to Israel was ordered to boy- cott the Israeli Independence Day parade in Jerusalem. This was cri- ticized in congress on grounds that it indicated to the Arabs that the United States wavered in its com- mitment to the permanency of Israel. Officials agree that the Syrians are guilty of a palter of border outrages but do not deem these adequate to justify Israeli counter- measures. United States diplomats sought to placate Arab positions when Lebanon took exception to a long- scheduled goodwill visit by the United States Sixth Fleet to Bei- rut. The Arab complaints were based on a reported assertion by Israel's Prime Minister Levi Esh- kol that he had assurances that the fleet might protect Israel. United States officials denied that such promises were made. Never- theless. "pro-western" Lebanon cancelled the fleet visit. Now, when Egypt unilaterally demanded withdrawal of t h e United Nations Emergency Forces from the Egyptian-Israel border, the State Department took sharp exception. The Department valued the ten-year peace-keeping role of UNEF. It had long been the de- partment's position that UNEF should be expanded rather than reduced. Washington saw the UN as an agency to restrain Arab- Israel tensions without the direct intervention of the United States. The administration may now Move to increase and expedite the shipment of military equipment to Israel, and many other important items of military hardware. An important factor in Israel's de- fense is the American "Hawk" ground-to-air missile that was sup- plied some time ago. Israeli sol- diers have been trained in the United States to operate the anti- aircraft missile system. The juncture may come where Washington must choose whether the democratic state of Israel should be backed in the manner that America supports other gov- ernments threatened by Commun- ism. But the State Department hopes this will never occur be- cause of its illusion of "pro-west- ern" Arab friendship. Warder Cresson, a United States Consul in Palestine in the early part of the nineteenth century, converted to Judaism after his tour of duty ended and permanently settled in the Holy Land where he lived out his life as an Orthodox Jew. Institutions As a snow-drift is formed where there is a lull in the wind, so, one would say, where there is a lull of truth an institution springs up. But the truth blows right on over it, nevertheless, and at length blows it down. —H. D.
