WILL A MIDDLE EAST EXPLOSION HERALD THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA?"In Washington, officials said that the Johnson administration felt the United States, Britain and France would be committed to take action under the terms of their 1950 Middle-East declaration, if an Arab-Israeli war broke out." The Age, May 23. The State of Israel was voted into existence
by the U.N. The U.S.A. applied pressure to those nations, which showed
recalcitrance on this issue. The U.S.S.R. joined with the U.S.A. in
the vote for Israel's creation well knowing that inevitable friction
with surrounding Arab States would produce exploitable situation for
the Communist conspiracy. Recently, the U.S.A. having supplied so much
of the finance for Israel's existence, has latterly been supplying arms,
planes, etc., to surrounding Arab States, notably Jordan, in order to
offset the superiority of Israel," in the words of one report. The confusion which arises out of such seeming contradictory policies can be reconciled only by observing a thread of common policy which ran through the Political Zionist movement, the U.S.S.R., "and those highly-placed fellow-travelers who guided American policy, during the negotiations which led up to the creation of the Israeli State." All these political forces embrace the concept of a supra-national world authority and this serves the purposes of the International Communist conspiracy, which operates in all countries. The noted Jewish historian and critic of Political Zionism, Alfred Lilienthal, in his book, "The Other Side of the Coin", wrote, "The creation of a Zionist State in the heart of the Arab world, I felt, could only adversely affect the position of the United States and of the free world in the strategic Middle East." The destruction of the U. S. A. and the free
world is essential to the forces working to affect World Government.
Will the strength of the U.S.A., France, and Britain, but especially
the U.S.A. in consideration of its abortive Vietnam involvement, be
finally dissipated in the vortex of a Middle East War utilizing 62 million
Arabs as raw material to destroy what remains of Christendom? |

THE HONG KONG RIOTS"The Chinese leaders today admit widespread violent fighting and said that the Army had been ordered to deal with clashes. The admission was published in the Peking People's Daily, the organ of the Chinese Communist Party." The Australian, May 23 News from Hong Kong of anti-British rioting has
created the impression that the Chinese Communists are on the verge
of taking the British colony over. Nothing could be further from the
truth at this point of time. Red Chinese take-over of Hong Kong need
not entail rioting; discontinuance of vital water supply backed by adequate
military force would suffice to strangle the colony. British forces
are there because Peking allows them to be there. Also Hong Kong is
essential to Peking as its point of contact with the West. |
ADEN AND MR. WILSON'S HYPOCRICY"King Faisal will also tell the British Government that he does not consider that the cost of Britain staying in Aden will be very big. In fact, he has offered, through the British Ambassador, to offset it." The Australian, May 11. Mr. Wilson is determined to dismantle the British
Commonwealth completely. The final stroke will be the entry of a weakened
Britain into the European Common Market. Prohibitive expenditure has
been one of the reasons advanced by Britain for the Aden betrayal. And
this plea, put forward as enormous sums of British money are spent to
destroy friendly Rhodesia. King Faisal hopes to persuade the Queen to
use her influences to stop the drift towards a Communist take-over in
Aden. In the meantime, the terrorist organisation
F.L.O.S.Y., through its chief, Mr. Abdulla Asnac, taunts, "The British
are heading for chaos and they will get it." That such an offer could be made twelve months prior to the scheduled British withdrawal, and this, not to be challenged by Wilson, is an indication of the Socialists' haste to dismember the Commonwealth. |
GENERAL DE GAULLE'S TERMS FOR BRITISH ENTRY INTO THE E.E.C.The so-called Kennedy Round of tariff negotiations started over 4 years ago and ended this week in an agreement, which is still largely veiled in secrecy. Dilatory throughout, the negotiators eventually had to work against a rushed time-table, and resorted to the Continental expedient of stopping the clock in their last minute scamper to end the cliff-hanging suspense." Political Intelligence Weekly (London) May 19. We continue the comment on this important matter from P.I.W. "This prelude to Britain's renewed application needs to be borne in mind in assessing the published views this week of General de Gaulle. To what extent is he really saying NO, or starting the preliminaries to a protracted maneuver designed to give France the best of both Worlds, vis-à-vis her E.E.C. partners and the British?" P.I.W. has consistently maintained that there will be no veto on the British application, if Britain pays the high French price. One item would be the abandonment of sterling's role as a world trading and reserve currency. This incidentally, was sent by a reader to Edward Heath, for comment, and the latter's office replied on the Conservative leader's letterhead that it can only be described as the work of a vivid imagination". Moreover, we were criticised by the same source
as appearing "to have an access to General de Gaulle's private thoughts,
which has not been accorded to anyone else in the world." It is regrettable that Heath should be ill-informed by his single-minded dedication to the European cause possibly limits the width of his reading and circumscribes his capacity for balanced judgment. |
POSTAL CHARGES, GOVERNMENT BY REGULATION"It seems Mr. Holt is determined to press on with the Government's dogged intention to bring down some of the increases by Regulation on the planned date of July 1. "Alan Ramsey in The Australian, May 22. Having been defeated in the Senate twice on its
proposal to increase charges for both telephone calls and postage, the
government is demonstrating to the Australian people in a most blatant
manner the extraordinary powers vested in government departments. The
Post Master General is obviously not responsible to the national parliament
when he can circumvent a decision of parliament by simply promulgating
a regulation to achieve the result denied to him by parliament. Nor is it possible to make democratic control of any business successful through the ballot box whether it is postal, shipping, fuel or anything else. It would be refreshing to see private business contracting to accept and deliver mail in competition with the P.M.G. Already organisations such as IPEC are giving competitive service in parcel delivery, why not letters? |
