On the Israel Scene
U. S. Will Use Its influence f©" are afraid that the United States will back the new State of Israel in aggressive expansion. They are jnore fearful of Zionism than of Communism and they fear lest the United States become the backer of expansionist Zionism. On thff other hand, the Israeli fear that ultima! >ly the Arabs may try to push them into tho sea. "There is need for peace in the Near East. Today there Is an uneasy military armistice, while economic warfare is being conducted by the Arab states, in retaliation for alleged Israeli encroachments. The area Is enfeebled by fear and by wasteful measures which are inspired by fear and hate. "Israel should become a part of the Near East community and ccaso to look upon Itself,' or be looked upon by others, as alien to this community. This is possible. To achlevo it will requlro concessions on tho part of both sides. But the gains to both will far outweigh the concessions required to win those gains. "The parties concerned have the primary responsibility of bringing peace to the area. But tho United States will not hesitate by every appropriate means to use its influence to promote a step-by-step reduction of tension In the area nnd the conclusion of ultimate peace.",'
