Rumania. and even Russia itself. By example alone. the State of Israel has demonstrated the simple and eternal truth that he who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword and that it is not by might and not by strength but by spirit that man endures. Therefore. when United States marine shipping was barred from the international Suez Canal because of having been used in trade with Israel. when foreign powers dared to dictate to us and classify our citizens and insist on which of our citizens they will allow in their countries and which they will not. and we submitted. when they professed to be peace loving yet refused to sit down and discuss peace terms with Israel. the nation which defeated them. when they asserted a serious refugee problem but did nothing to help their own for admittedly political reasons. when they caused our Navy Department to insert cancellation clauses in all its contracts with its suppliers whose supply ships are blacklisted by the U.A.R.. and. when in the face of all this. the State Department permitted the U.S. executive director of the World Bank to vote for a $56 million loan to the U.A.R. for widening the Suez Canal. I brought this to the attention of Congress on February 4. 1960. I informed Congress that this affront to the United States. this insult to our people. to our principles. and to our professed sense of morality. was induced only because our Government. at that time. resorted to the use of platitudes and the comfort of temporary expediency for positive action.
