Mr. President. in recent nonths there have been a number of articles in the press reporting that many if the Arab refugee camps maintained >y the United Nations Relief and Works AgencyUNRWAhave in effect become training grounds for Arab guerrillas. Some of the articles have carried photographs of guerrilla units in training in these camps. This situation is the subject of an editorial captioned "We Accuse UNRWA" which appears in the current quarterly issue of the organ of the Society for the Prevention of World War III. a private organization headed by a group of highly distinguished Americans. Pointing out that the United States contributes nearly twothirds of the total budget of UNRWA. the editorial goes on to say: With the firststated purpose of UNRWAthe giving of reliefwe have the sincerest sympathy. The suffering of human beings everywhere is the concern of all of us. But the concept of refugee camps as recruiting centers for terrorists must be rejected as outrageous. Money spent for that purpose is worse than wasted: it is used dishonestly. and used to keep the Middle East at war. Mr.
