THE LESSONS OF HISTORY
War, death and destruction have been legal under the
rules of our civilization. Of late there has been a stirring
of doubters who openly espouse the ending of a certain
war without making this resolve a universal one. The
same approach to other designated wars have been noted
in the history of the past two or three thousand years.
Balance of power was one of the ways thought by
some as a solution to ending wars. If, they held, powers
were equal no single nation would dare take up arms.
The double crossings that followed such alliances and
wars by and through alliances make ugly blotches on the
pages of Western history.
The intrigues and wars among nations form numerous
chapters in this developing history. We waged war over
religion and because of religion. Death was quick and
to the point whether it was by petard, musket or canon.
On the battlefield death knew no rank, nor overlooked
any age group. It bypassed race and religion and national
origin.
Then came the war to end all wars. The Kaiser’s Ger-
many, with Austria and Turkey, waged war against the
central allies. Our soldiers saw the continent of Europe
through the smoke of canon and heard new languages
as men cried out in pain. This was a new experience for
our United States and out of it, a President with a vision,
set up a new organization objective—world peace.
The League of Nations was born with American hope
and American participation until a wilful partisan minor-
ity saw to it that the United States did not participate
as a member of this body. It soon became impotent and
new wars were started by ambitious charlatans who sold
humanity down the river. Eventually we encountered
another gigantic catastrophe in the form of World War II.
Out of this struggle and millions of lives later grew
another organization—The United Nations. Conceived in
the hopes of permanent peace through diplomacy and a
set of rules, the United Nations has not solved the knotty
problem of peace but it has kept the world from large
war by busily fighting brush fires. In some directions
this organization has done remarkably well in bringing
open debate to closed minds, but still debate. It has aided
in feeding the hungry. A goodly portion of this from
funds provided by the United States. It has brought a
semblance of direction to the underprivileged, newly
created countries without giving them too much direction
in the government for the people and by the people—but
then, why expect more than the level of willingness
among the strong ideological powers.
In addition to all these, the United Nations has reiter-
ated, through its actions, the rule of the jungle. It has
set up a double standard—one for big powers and those
on the side of privilege, and another for those who are a
bit weaker. The dollar diplomacy of the past has not
disappeared; it has gone into smoked filled cocktail
lounges. Nothing was done when the citizens of Hun-
gary wanted to achieve freedom as a Hungarian republic,
free from Soviet domination and control. Nothing was
done to halt the slaughter of the innocents in Russia who
dared to defy Stalin. Little was done to ease off the
pressures in mid-Africa and the wanton attack of Nas-
ser’s Egypt on Yemen.
But why multiply what it did not do. Why not concen-
trate on what it has done, especially its latest bold ven-
ture into peace via the Mid-East.
The United Nations through its Security Council, five
of whose members do not recognize the state of Israel,
has legalized the night hawks who stealthily plunder and
murder. By a unanimous vote the Security Council con-
demned Israel for daring to break up the nests which
the infiltrators use to replenish the supplies and weapons
for their nefarious raids on unsuspecting and sleeping
farms and hamlets. .
For 19 years the threats of annihilation have been heard
in the capitols of the world. The Arab states and their
political bosses have not been silent about their intent
insofar as Israel is concerned. They have persecuted the
Jews in their own domains and driven them out of lands
where Jewish families have been domiciled for a thousand
years and more. They have confiscated their worldly
possessions. All this has been legalized by the United
Nations by turning their backs on the realities and chast-
ening Israel at every turn.
Now the United Nations has played its last card by

JEWS IN ARAB LANDS
London, (JTA) — The Brit-
ish Government said this week
that the fate of the Jews re-
maining in Arab lands was a
matter of “continued concern”
to Her Majesty’s Government
which will “continue to do all
in their power to discourage
and prevent” their imprison-
ment without trial, deprivation
of property and denial of hu-
man rights and freedom. The
Government pledge was made
in a letter to the British Sec-
tion of the World Jewish Con-
gress in response to a resolu-
tion recently adopted by the
organization. The Foreign Of-
fice letter noted that the Brit-
ish Government supported a
proposed convention to elimi-
nate the statute of limitations
on war crimes and crimes
against humanity and declared
that the Government was con-
sidering ratification of the in-
ternational convention on elimi-
nation of all forms of racial
discrimination.

LETTERS to the EDITOR
Jewish Herald - Voice
To The Editor,
The Jewish Community Council, the Jewish Community Cen-
ter andthe Mary Lechenger Chapter of ORT are about to em-
bark upon a very important community project — a Jewish
population survey. Through this survey we will endeavor to dis-
cover how many Jewish persons live in Houston, with an age-
group breakdown of the total Jewish community. It will be most
particularly useful to various institutions and organizations.
We feel it is vital for the Jewish Community to be aware of
the over-all needs of its community. Upon completion of this
survey, when the results have been tabulated, certain needs will
be revealed, and can then be met through program activities.
We would like to take this opportunity to inform the com-
munity of this survey and to solicit cooperation in helping us «
to complete the survey with accuracy and expedience. This is
an enormous task to undertake, and it can only be accomplished
with full community cooperation. We therefore ask your readers
to supply us with the necessary information, both quickly and
courteously. Please be assured that there will be nothing of a
confidential nature asked — only names, ages and group affili-
ations of family members.
Naturally, as we progress and our plans crystallize, we shall
keep the community informed — and, of course, we shall make
our findings available.
Sincerely,
Bitsy Proler and Rickey Engler
toes because the Negro “con-
fronts the Jew in two dissimi-
lar roles” — one of them that
ofthe Negro’s “most consistent
and trusted ally in the Negro’s
struggle for justice in the civil
rights movement” and also the
Jew as landlord and as “owner
of the store around the Corner
where the ghetto-dweller pays
more for less.” He said that
“the irrigational statements”
made by some Negro spokes-
men “were the result of these
confrontations.”
Responding to a question
about anti-Israel and pro-Arab
stands of some of the more
militant young black leaders,
Dr. King said that this did not
represent “the position of the
vast majority of Negroes. I
think it is necessary to see that
what is basic and needed in
the Middle East is peace.” He
said peace for Israel meant
physical security and that peace

Dr. Martin Luther King, the
Negro civil rights leader, told
the convention that “there is
absolutely no anti-Semitism in
the black community in the his-
toric sense of anti-Semitism.”
Dr. King, who was given an
ovation, said that such anti-
Semitism as does exist among
Negroes “is almost completely
an urban ghetto phenomenon
and virtually non-existent in
the South.”
This anti-Semitism, he said,

United States Government to
recognize “selective conscien-
tious objection” — objection to
a particular war — as a valid
reason for exemption from mili-
tary duty. The resolution noted
that the United States “has
been a pioneer in absoliving
religious pacifists from war
duty.” But it pointed out that
“the war in Vietnam has cre-
ated a new dilemna. Some men
who are not total pacifists do
object to serving in Vietnam
because they regard the war
and service as repugnant to
their conscience.” The resolu-
tion therefore urged the Gov-
ernment to “continue its pio-
neering in matter of conscience
with respect to war by recog-
nizing selective conscientious
objection in the same way that
total conscientious objection
has been recognized.”
The resolution declared that
“obviously everyone is obliged
to refrain from invoking such
objections except on the clear-
est grounds of conscience and
after most serious thought and
study. Further, whoever out of
conscience refuses to serve his
country at this time must be
prepared to accept the conse-
quences of his action as estab-
