Unfortunately the matter of our leadership in the area is made extremely difficult by the fact that the United States is held responsible by the Arabs for the establishment of the Republic of Israel. whose existence they resent even though their wise men have accepted it. We are the whipping boyand because of our position of world responsibilitywe carry the major burden of finding ways to bring a new and lasting stability to the area. . No one factor is more constantly harassing than the tragic situation of the nearly 850.000 refugees. whose ultimate fate still hangs in the balance. Here again. the United States must use persuasion. patience. and above allunderstanding. Israel. realizing that there can be no peace while these thousands of human beings are homeless and unwanted has taken a few first steps in the problem of compensation. At the same time. there are signs in several of the Arab countries that with a little help they will begin to move in on the problem. So it is to the interest of this country to help the people of the area in their efforts to solve the tragic problem of the refugees and at the same time institute such programs as will raise the standard of living for all. For only by solutions to these problems can there be stability and peace in the Middle East. Let us go now to south Asia: This very ancient area of the world is going through new and difficult rebirth pangs.
