Abba Eban. so eloquently inferred. the chief villain in this crisis has been the Soviet Union and its irresponsible shipments of war materiel to the Arab nations. The Soviet Government started the trouble by pouring into the Arab world billions in instruments of slaughter. when these billions should have been spent for education. for food. for homes. His Government would be performing a real service to the Arab States if he reversed his grievous policies and began to spend Russian money to make a better life for the Arab refugees to which his Government have contributed not a cent and the other Arab people. It is a shame that he is wedded to practices which will only exacerbate relations between Arabs and Israelis and their conditions of life. In contrast. the early morning speech of President Johnson. offered a much more prudent and constructive policy for the disputing nations as he held out the hand of peace through his five great principles. Recognition of each nations right to live. justice for the refugees. respect for maritime rights. opposition to the arms race. and respect for political independence and territorial independence are principles which can and should be embraced by all the nations in the Middle East. Premier Kosygin made a serious mistake to come to New York to deliver words of hatred. Now it is time for a restoration of sanity.
