Jew-Arab Row Tops Discussion
World Affairs Club Hears Arabs Called Red, Israel Scored
By Doug Cameron
DT Staff Correspondent
RIVERSIDE, Dec. 13. — The Jewish-Arab conflict erupted into fiery debate today as a panel discussion at the Institute of World Affairs focused attention on American policy in the Middle East.
The 32nd annual meeting of the Institute at Riverside Mission Inn also heard four educators, an Australian psychiatrist, and a Mexican amhHssador discuss Americ’s world leadership record.
At the panel discussion, Guy M. Davis Jr., of Chapman College, called the Arab countries a "Corn-munist-front organization" and said they should be put on America's list of subversive organizations.
Davis praised Israel as a "miracle" and said America should send arms to Israel and should conclude a treaty w'ith them that would guarantee their borders. But Davis said, we should also extend the same rights to the Arab nations.
Not Communistic Chairman of the panel H. Paul Castleberry, of the University of Redlands, disagreed with Davis and declared that the Arab nations are not Communistic. "Communism is outlawed in these nations,” he said.
Furthermore, Castlelierry emphasized, America will not realize any benefits by following a pro-Israel policy. "Our vital interests are not with the Israelis but with the Arabs,” he explained.
Huey Louis Koitanick, a UCLA associate professor of geography, said people are skirting the main issue.
“Everyone is 'wrapped up in sheer emotionalism, ignoring the facts, statistics, and realities of the conflict. We must lie rational and objective," he declared. Hiimanitiirian vs. Practical Kostanick said America's tirst concern is the protection of itself. But, he indicated, America's humanitarian instinct is in direct opposition to global self-interest.
“I realize my position is un- j popular, said the geographer, "But I think we should forget
