45TH YEAR y~w OF PUBLICATION HERE TONIGHT UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Vol. XLVII1, No. 15 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, JANUARY 15, 1954 Founded 1908 Liveran A ' Border hi Of U.N. In Says No Progress In Peace Made Since '49 Armistice Israeli United Nations Delegate Arthur Liveran, in an address to members of the University Faculty 'Aub Wednesday attributed the recurring border incidents be tween his young republic and the neighboring Arab States to a lax attitude by the United Nations in enforcing peace and the Arab Nations' refusal to recognize the existence of Israel as a state. In discussing the present tension existing between the two Middle East foes, he remarked that there has been no progress toward peace since the Armistice in 1949 as far as the total political picture is concerned. He tabbed every for ward step omitted by the United Nations as a "step backward" in bringing peace to israel and Jor (Ian. "The UN should have been the prime mover for peace, but instead of acting it has only looked into the problem year after year since 1949. The situation has deterior ated as a result of this inaction, and it has only sved as a stimulus to war. "The real obstacle to peace in the Middle East is the attitude isplayed by the Arab States. They look upon the armistice only as a temporary, removable turn stile which can be turned either way-to war or peace. Their attitude is that it is not necessary to be at peace to not be at war." History of Question In opening his address, Mr. L,iveran touched on the history of the Palestine question. He recalled Hitler's rise to power in the early 1930's and the subsequent decima tion by his dictatorship of from 5-10 million Jews. As a compen sation to the Jewish people, he stated, the United Nations estab lished Israel by decree as a home for the Jews in 1947 while trying to redraw the map of the world. "We regret that the Arabs op posed the formation of this aew state by armed'force," he said. "In 1949 the armistice agree ment was drawn up, with the UN as a party to the agreements. Since then, the situation has deteriorated-the outcome being a series of border incidents result ing in death to 400 Israeli citizens by Arab marauders and raiding parties-not to mention the prop erty damages." Kybla Incident "Unfortunate" Mr. Liveran labeled as "un fprtunate" the recent Kybia inci aTnt, in which a group of Israelis (Continued on page 8) /Maxwell, I As ODK Omicron Delta Kappa, national honorary leadership fraternity, will hold its winter banquet- to night at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church at 6:30 p.m. Two honorary members and nine new" members will be initiated during the evening.
