Biggest Touch in the World
How does the following - statement fit into the picture of
the so-called great American ideal of protecting the weak and
defending the righteous?
BULLETIN
CAIRO, March 18, (/P)—Cairo radio said the Egypt
ian governor of Caza annoupced tonight ail U.N. Emer
gency Force troops will leave towns in the Gaza Strip
within 48 hours.
Can this be true—will the United States stand by and
let a 20th Century pirate ride roughshod over them like this
Not many months ago we were running amuck over the
actions of England, France and Israel for beginning a war
over the Suez Canal and other actions of Carnal Nasser.
But now, the U.S., a one-time power, respected over all
the world has joined the ranks of the cowed, bluffed and
buffaloed United Nations and let this upstart make a liar out
of our country and our government.
Didn’t Secretary of State Dulles and President Eisen
hower practically promise the Israeli government such a
move would not be taken, if so we would do our best to
thwart it?
It is too bad that as usual the United States is sitting
. astride its pedestal of plenty casting so-called words of wis-
dom and “truth” for all the world to heed.
Since World War II our statesmen have cried about the
~ way the U.S diplomats have been treated, our reputation
smeared, our intentions misunderstood.
But, after this shameful episode the word and bond of
the United States will have to reach “up” to touch bot
tom in many parts of the world.
Who should be blamed?
. It was bad enough when the freedom-loving people of
Hungary tried to free themselves from the tenacles of Rus
sia and we sat back saying how nice it was for the countries
behind the Iron Curtain to begin the drum-roll of revolution.
But how much actual help did the Hungarians get from
~ the United States and her allies ?
And now here is Israel, fighting for her bare existence
^ singlehandedly, slugging it out with far superior forces and
•> twice has fought them to a standstill—now the U.N., with
the insistence of the United States says pull your troops out
and we will take over.
So Israel gets her hands slapped and the U.N. turns
over the Gaza Strip to the pirate Nasser, to raid and plunder
again the border Settlements of Israel.
On the other side of the globe we can see the bloody
outcome of what mistakes have caused—Korea.
A land still divided because of incompetence and blincl-
ness. A land fought over for four long years. The last two
" fought from ;a life-taking stalemate and ceased only with a
“face losing” Armistice, on .the part of the U.S.
When will the American people waken to the fate that
lies ahead?
What has gone before just proves that the saying you
hear and see overseas is true —
The Americans are the easiest touch in the world.

An 18-man group of Pakis
tani students will celebrate
h e Pakistan version of
Fourth of July’ Saturday at
:30 p.m. in the Memorial
Student Center Ballroom.
In somewhat different fashion
than is the usual style for July 4
in the U. S., the group is planning
quiet reception on the second
anniversary of the Republic of
Pakistan’s founding.
“Eight years after her inde
pendence in 1947, Pakistan set up
her constitution, patterned after
democracy and the principles of
Islam. That date was March 23,
1956,” says Zobaer Ahmed, in
charge of the celebration program.
The program will include a
speech on constitution by Shiraj
Hossain Khan, graduate student
in agronomy, Ahmed said.
“We are inviting other students
to attend since we want people to
learn more of our conutry,”
Ahmed says. “The reception is
open to everybody who would like
to come.”
Also on the program is a motion
picture titled “Pakistan: A Modern
Miracle.”
