FREEDOM’S FIGHT
Wherever man is oppressed
^ World the inspiring story
of Chanukah will serve as a
remarkable example for the
fight for the sanctity of the in-
dividual and Freedom from dic-
tatorship.
The Maccabees fought a
glorious battle against tyrants
and won more than a century
before the Christian Era.
Events of the past few days
illustrate that the fight is still
continuing.
What was done in Israel, and
what the brave Hungarians
have done in Europe, clearly
demonstrates that the will for
Freedom still exists.
Quite significantly we note
with pride that the backbone

The promotion is in honor of

It might be well to ponder
the meaning of Chanukah and
especially to consider the risks
that were calculated and taken
by the modern minutemen of
Hungary and Israel, who, in
the face of stupenduous odds,
fought bravely and again
illuminated that bright light of
freedom in men’s hearts the
world over.
It is an eternal light and,
though it may flicker under
oppression at times, it will
never fade.
It will continue to burn how-
ever dimmed by dictators and
tyrants.
And one day it will burn
with the brightness of freedom
and liberty for all men of good
will the world over.

Crisis Looms As Soviet-Arah Bloc
Asks Ouster Of Allies And Israelis
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(WNS)—The expected easing
of tension in the Middle East
from U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskj old’s visit to
Cairo, where he conferred with
President Nassejr a)nd other
high political officials, has not
been realized and the U. N.,
as a result, faces a crisis on
whose solubility may well rest
the future effectiveness if not
the very existence of the inter-
national organization.
This was the opinion of poli-
tical observers here as they
watched the unfolding of a sit-
uation that is wrought with
dangers and pitfalls that will
challenge the diplomatic acu-
men of the men at the helm of
U. N. leadership and constitute
perhaps an acid test for their
professions of peace.
When the U. N. Secretary
General left for Egypt on the
deployment and functions of
the U. N. command force there,
there was some hope that his
talks with a beaten Nasser
would lead to the abatement
of the threat of peace in that
area of the world, and even
more, to concrete moves in the
direction of peace with Israel
and settlement of the S u e z
crisis which generated the cur-
rent turmoil.
But a reading of Mr. Ham-
marskjold’s report on his visit
to Cairo, provoked much eye-
brow raising among the Bri-
tish, French and Israeli repre-
sentatives to the U. N. In es-
sense, Mr. Hammarskj old seem-
ed to have acceeded to Nas-
ser’s major demands. Under the
agreement, Britain, France and
Israel were to withdraw their
forces which was to be follow-
ed by an expeditious with-
drawal of U. N. forces. The
powers affected at once demur-
red, and their representatives
in the U. N. at once demanded
clarification. If the British and
French were to leave, to be
followed by the exodus of thei
U. N. command, and if there
was to be no settlement of the
causes which led London and
Paris to their military action
against Egypt, wasn’t there the
danger that the vacuum thus
created would at once be fill-
ed by a Moscow whose red
wings will have been held by
the Arab world as the shield
which protected them against
Western aggression? It was
asked, and not alone by the
British or the French. Thus the
new York Times, commenting
ecfitorally on the agreement
reached in Cairo, said in part:
“Should these agreements be
permitted to stand they would
reduce the United Nations po-
lice to a protective guard for
the Egyptian end of the Mos-
cow-Damascus-Cairo axis, and
only Colonel Nasser’s good
faith could save what is the
most hopeful enterprise t b e
United Nations has ever under-
taken from turning into a tra-
gic farce.” v
While the British and the
French were showing a stiffen-
ing stand, even against the
background of troop removals,
Israel was studying the report
and demanding a number of
clarifications. Mr. Hammarsk-
jold, in a letter to Mrs. Golda
Meir, Israeli Foreign Minister
now attending the Assembly
session, requested that U. N.
forces be permitted to enter
the Gaza area and be Stationed
there. Mrs. Meir’s reply was
that “there is now complete
tranquility” in the area, but
she would give a fuller reply
after instruction from her gov-
ernment. At the same time she
informed Mr. Hammarskjold
that Israeli forces had with-
drawn “for varying distances”
along the entire Egyptian
front, adding that in accepting,
the cease-fire, Israel had spe-
cified that the withdrawal
would depend upon satisfac-
tory arrangements with the
United Nations about the force
and other related matters.
Meanwhile, the Moscow bloc,
aided and abetted by the Asia-
tic and Arab blocs, mounted
an effort in the Assembly for
a resolution directing the im-
mediate withdrawal of British,
French and Israel forces from
Egypt. With the U. S. reported
to have thrown its support in
favor of such a resolution, there
were indications that the reso-
lution would be approved be-
fore this appears in print. But
will there be compliance? One
neutral diplomat here wonder-
ed how a General Assembly
whose resolution on Hungary
is being defied could summon,
the moral courage to demand
compliance with a resolution
affecting other powers? Will
the United Nations, he asked,
set a precedent for double
moral standards at th is, its
most critical juncture in its his-
tory.

Wave Of Anti-Semitism
Engulfing Soviet Union
LONDON (WNS)—A wave
of anti-Semitism, finding ex-
pression in physical assaults,
is sweeping the Soviet Union,
the London Jewish Chronicle
disclosed in a report it claims
to have received from reliable
sources.
The Chronicle says t here
have been attacks on Jews in
several Russian cities, parti-
cularly in the Ukraine city of
Kiev, where Jews were attack-
ed, beaten and insulted on the
streets. In some cities there
has been a recurrence of “Zyd”
calling, an insulting name for
Jews in the Tsarist days.
At the same time the Jew-
ish Chronicle reported the exis-
tence of panic among the Jew-
ish communities in the Soviet
Union over those develop-
ments.
