Hussein's Visit
King Hussein of Jordan has been on a junket visiting world capitals
to try to arrange some sort of deal to pull his chestnuts out of the fire
caused by the Arab-lsraeli War, Chapter No. 3 now called the "Six
Day War."
This week Hussein met in Washington and spoke before the press ,
and a university and finally agreed that Israel "was a fact of life."
But he added this did not mean that Jordan or the Arabs had to re-
cognize Israel.
Hussien said he was certain that he spoke for Nasser, too. This is
rather amusing because most times we thought it. was the other way
round: that Nasser spoke for Hussein.
It seems that the Arabs have dug their heads out of a little
more sand to take one fast peek at what is going on in the world and
then dug back in again. Extricating themselves from a mess will take
great diplomacy—something which they certainly have lacked. Even
ithough Hussein says he is now willing to throw in the right of Suez
use, he still must realize that the only way to recognize the facts
is to face them. This means sitting down with Israel and all the other
interested Arab nations and discussing a long-lasting solution to their
mutual problems.
Israel holds that the problems of the area concerns the nations
beset with those problems. Israel still hears that the Arabs are intent
on destroying her independence, that they are arming to the teeth for
Chapter No. 4. To conclude a proper peace treaty she must insist upon
discussing terms with the parties involved and not as a pawn in power
politics.
Speaking last Thursday at the Unitarian Church in Dallas we re-
minded our audience that Israel was prepared to discuss peace with
the Arabs anywhere and at anytime provided it was direct negotiation.
Here is a direct quote from Prime Minister Levi Eshkol's speech in
the Knesset last week (Oct. 30):
“The Arab States are maintaining their attitude not to reconize the
State of Israel, not to negotiate with her, not to conclude with her a
treaty of peace. Israel expresses the hope that the peoples and govern-
ments of the world will not overlook this* grave fact, which is utterly
incompatible with International Law and the principles of the United
Nations Charter.
"In view of the attitude of the Arab States, Israel will continue to
maintain in full the situation as it was established in the cease-fire
agreements and will consolidate her position, in keeping with the vital
needs of her security and development.
"Israel is willing and prepared to work for peace with the neighbor-
ing Arab countries. She will not acauiesce in boycott or blocade, siege
and agression, Israel is prepared to conduct direct negotiations with
all the neighboring Arab countries or with any of them separtely, We
are prepared for economic cooperation and regional planning with
all the countries of the area."

EGYPT SAID TO POSSESS
NEW TYPE USSR MISSILES
LONDON (JTA)—Diplomatic sources here asserted today
that the Soviet Union had supplied Egypt with a new type of
ground-to-ground missile to strengthen the Arab position
against Israel.
According to the reports here, Russia has given Egypt
Luna-I type missiles, a medium range weapon. The Soviet
Union gave Egypt ground-to-ground missiles before the June
war and some of these were captured on their launching pads
in the Sinai Peninsula during the Six-Day War. Those weapons
were described as of lesser range and not as powerful as the
Luna-I type.
Meanwhile, Col. Un, commander of Israel’s forces on the
east bank of the Suez, said that Egypt is building up what is
“virtually an international army.” He estimated that there are
new 50,000 soldiers along Egypt’s western shore of the canal,
many of them wearing foreign.,,
uniforms which are obviously 1
not Egyptian. The soldiers are
from Kuwait, Algeria and the
Sudan, and are equipped with
large numbers of tanks and ar-
tillery piece's, he declared.
I. Sharfjtl, the JTA cor-
respondent, returning from a
first-hand view of the situa-
tion along the Suez Canal area,
reported that, at the point
where the Suez Canal enters
the Red Sea, and the site of
last week’s thunderous Israeli
tian side, we could still see
smoke coming from the ruined
Egyptian installations and
from Egyptian oil tankers
knocked out by the Israelis.”

tumultous welcome was given
