• Friday, August 1, 1981 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 21 Western Nations Must Develop Anti-Terrorist Consensus By FRANKLIN LITTELL National Institute on the Holocaust PHILADELPHIA — In a gaffe which must surely rank with history's major howlers, the British gov- ernment has so offended Spanish sensibilities that King Juan . Carlos and Queen Sophia decided not to attend the wedding of Pr- ince Charles and Lady Di- ana. The offense given was the choice of Gibraltar, a piece of rock disputed be- Teen Spain and the British __ingdom, as the starting place for the honeymoon. To most of us commoners the absence of some member of Europe's shrinking nobil- ity from the wedding will hardly cause pain. When the American republic was founded, all hereditary rul- ers could have been missing from all occasions — and our forefathers would have cheered. Since 1776, however, two different kinds of monar- chies have developed — one type by no means incompat- ible with liberty and popu- lar sovereignty. And there have also appeared new forms of dictatorship and misrule which make the re- gime of George III, against which the Americans rebel- led, look positively benevo- lent. Today, in a world where most nations have no standards of human liberty and self- government whatever, constitutional monar- chies — actually gov- erned in the main by par- liaments — are an excel- lent form of government. There are, to be sure, old- fashioned absoslute monarchs in many back- ward countries, and they are frequently guilty of the savageries which have led lovers of liberty and human dignity to overthrow them and set up republics. Such despotisms today are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Trucial States — where a person loyal to the Ameri- can tradition can only hope that a republican revolution will be successful before things get so bad the Com- munists have a shot at it. But the parliamentary governments of the Nether- lands, England, Sweden and Denmark, for example, deserve the good will and support of lovers of liberty and self-government — especially when one of them comes under fire from ter- rorists or other tools of dic- tatorships or despotisms. For where there were -,nce only hereditary gov- ernments, mostly arbitrary, and a few struggling young republics, there are now forms of tyranny far worse even than arbitrary rulers who think they rule by di- vine right. The most com- mon of these new forms of tyranny are two: fascist and Communist. The former Nazi Third Reich and its col- laborating satellites, and the Communist USSR and its satellites, are far more dangerous systems of re- pression and murder than . rl even Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar or Morocco. Under King Juan Car- los's patronage Spain has been making a remarkable transition from Franco's fascism to the practices of a constitutional monarchy with a powerful parliament. The difficulties have been enormous, economic and religious and political. With room to breathe for the first time in de- cades, some sections have attempted to break away from national di- rection: terrorist move- ments, assisted in part by the international ter- rorist networks, have as- sassinated prominent political figures and sha- ken the new regime. Most serious, two fascist con- spiracies have been nar- rowly prevented from overthrowing parliamen- tary government and re- establishing a dictator- ship. That they both failed was in large part due to the courage and loyalty of King Juan Carlos. An England whose cities are being burned down by urban guerrillas, whose police and public order are being whipsawed between fascist "skinheads" and mobs led by Marxist cadres, might well consider that re- publics and constitutional monarchies ought to be sen- sitive to -each others' needs and concerns. The enemies that are as- saulting liberty and self- government in a most dangerous way are trans- War Criminal Has Citizenship Revoked by U.S. NEW YORK (JTA) — Karl Linnas, who was ac- cused by the Federal gov- ernment of supervising and participating in the execu- tion of prisoners in the con- centration camp in Tartu, Estonia, during World War II and of hiding this infor- mation when he entered the United States after the war, had his citizenship revoked last Friday. The revocation decision was issued by Judge Jacob Mishler of the Federal Dis- trict Court in Westbury, N.Y. If linnas, a native of Es- tonia who is now a resident of Greenlawn, L.I., fails to appeal or is unsuccessful in an appeal, the Department of Justice would attempt to deport him. A Justice De- partment official said he would not speculate as to which country the U.S. might seek to deport Linnas should expulsion proceed- ings be initiated. Linnas, a draftsman, entered the U.S. in 1951 and obtained his citizenship in 1960. He was tried in absen- tia in 1962 in Estonia and sentenced to death for the crimes he had committed in Tartu. When Linnas entered the U.S. he told immigration officials that he had been a university student in Tartu from 1940 to 1943. national and international, in both strategy and prac- tice. They must be con- fronted by allies that stand shoulder to shoulder. Maybe the British gaffe simply means that their Foreign Office is as in- competent as our State Department. Didn't any- one in the Foreign Office register a thought about Gibraltar? Maybe the an- swer is for "Lord Haw Haw II" (Carrington), who has been rushing about Europe to sell ap- peasement of the PLO to European Common Mar- ket countries, to stay home and build up a competent shop — one in which lovers of liberty and self-government everywhere can put their trust. In any case, the nations that have governments that are either republics or con- stitutional monarchies need to develop some real cooper- ation and mutual support. They need to agree upon joint measures to crush ter- rorism. They need to agree upon joint action in emergency, so that a citizen of any one of them can count upon the protection of each and all. They need to set up, as Dr. Gideon Hausner has pointed out in an important Israeli Students Get Scholarships JERUSALEM (JTA) — Scholarships ranging from 400 to 3,200 Shekels ($35- $265) have been given to 349 Jerusalem high school and vocational schools stu- dents from poor families for lessons, books, clothing and other school expenses in the coming academic year. The money is from the Mrs. Walter Rothschild Scholarship Fund which annually provides $25,000 for this purpose.

"The Merrill Lynch Cash Management Account.. may be the most important financial innovation in years'." Fortwie Magafhle, Oct. 20th, 1980 French Officials to Visit Arabs PARIS (JTA) — President Francois Mitter- rand will pay an official visit to Saudi Arabia next month, his first trip to the Middle East since his elec- tion in May. Official sources added that Foreign Minis- ter Claude Cheysson will visit Jordan later this month for talks with King Hussein and members of his government. It will be Cheysson's first trip to the Middle East since he be- came Foreign Minister. Mitterrand promised dur- ing his campaign to visit Is- rael at the earliest opportu- nity but Cheysson last week told Israeli correspondents that the trip "could not take place immediately after the Tammuz and Beirut bomb- ings." The minister said at the time that no date for the president's trip to Israel has been set and that this will have to wait "appropriate circumstances." Cheysson also ex- plained that the bomb- ings have prevented the establishment of an in- timate Franco-Israeli dialogue" which is being postponed until calm re- turns to the area. paper on eliminating inter= national terrorism, mobile strike forces for joint action against terrorist stron- gholds and improvizations.
