"We Just Want A Washing Machine"
Conflict Of Interests In The Holy Land
Kansan Comments
On Monday the special session of the United Nations assembly began in New York. At present, the agenda is limited to a study of the Palestine question.
This knotty problem will provide a distinct test for the young international organization. If it can evolve a workable blueprint to end the current bloodshed, suffering, and strife in Palestine, it will gain considerable prestige as an international peace organization.
The immediate object of the current session is to appoint a fact-finding committee to investigate current conditions and issues involved in the Palestine controversy. Whether this committee will have any greater success than the last such body remains to be seen.
President Truman has advocated immediate admission of 100,000 Jews to the Holy Land. On moral and ethical grounds we feel bound to lean toward the Jewish cause.
The Palestine problem poses a difficult problem for the United States. There are conflicting points of view within our government as to what course we should pursue.
It will be interesting to watch coming developments on the Palestine problem. What will be our government's policy in this controversy? Will it be based on an impartial and just consideration of the issues involved—or will it be based on "oil diplomacy?"
They point out that by supporting the Jewish position we will run the risk of alienating the good will of the Arabs, who may then turn to Russia.
But certain members of the state department argue that it would be dangerous for us to throw our full weight to Zionism. This opinion is, of course, based on our large oil concessions in the Arab states.
A great many Americans share the sentiments expressed recently by Mrs. Henry Wallace. She said, "I wish Henry would settle down on the farm."

Terms Eagle Views Not Majority Opinion
When we read of plans to publish the Eagle, some of us who are in the usually non-vocal majority thought that a paper that would print our ideas was a great idea.
Unfortunately, the Eagle evidently believes the majority to be a pretty muddle-headed group. Their ideas of democracy which lead them to support the herding of colored people into remote sections of our local theaters don't agree very well with the democratic ideals of being born free and equal.
Nor do their ideas of peaceful pussyfooting and leaving the race problem alone seem appropriate in a country that has changed itself from an uneducated, slave-holding, tyrannized colonial land to a free and forward moving nation.
As for the Dove-like pressure minorities, some of us thought that movements for women's suffrage, abolition of slavery, and American independence were begun by "pressure minorities" who gained the support of the not-so-muddle-headed majority.
The Eagle may be in the middle of the road—but so are all the ruts.
