Government be forced to formulate a policy suitable to the Arabs yet detrimental to Israel in order to continue the freeflow of oil from the Middle East? Our State Department need not be apologetic for its statements. It must be the intention of the United States to construct a strong policy for the Middle East. free from the coercive influences of oil. free from the sympathetic response engendereti by the Palestinian refugee whose plight is a result of Arab politics. Our policy must not be swayed by the threat of joining the other camp if it is detrimental or in opposition to their own. Our foreign policy makers must remembqr that the threat of nationalization or stoppage of oil is nothing more than blackmail.
