THE S A L E MITE February 14, 19Sf^ Britain, U. S. Are Alike (Continued from page two) an American. l*-ach of us has an o])portunity to enter into business in our Free Enterprise system.” ‘‘Well now, don’t combine De mocracy with an economic system. I think Democracy is possible with either Capitalism or Socialism. Of course England is not entirely so cialistic, but a lot of industries, such as coal mining, sugar manu facture, and medicine are national ized. We feel that the government, which is elected by the people, should not be in danger of being dictated to by the wealthy cor poration owners. After all, it is the popularly elected government which should have the final power, and not big business. So we feel that the people as a whole, through the government, should plan the tuition’s economy.” ‘‘If we look at it this way, then. Socialism is just as democratic as Capitalism, only in a different way. Is that what you mean?” "On tlie other hand, our eco nomy is not entirely capitalistic either, as there are a great many government regukitions which keep corporations from becoming mono polies or from exerting too much political influence.” “So we're in agreement, then, aren't we! As a matter of fact, there is only one political party in England which champions Social ism, and that is the Labour Party. The Conservtitives have a com pletely different policy in economy as well as in many other areas.” “Well, we were in agreement, but it seems th:it it would be very dif ficult for the two major parties^ in Hrittiin to arrive at a conclusion which is satisfactory to both in is sues on foreign or domestic policy. Our two major parties have the same general policies on many is sues. That is, their policies pro duce the same ends generally, but by different means. 1 his relative unity of thought seems to me to be a more desirable situation.” “lispecially iit the fields of for eign policy, 1 guess? Well, here s where we differ again! With the existence of two major jrolitical luirties in Britain which disagree (in fundamenttil as well as trivial issues, there is constant criticism of the government's policy and an alternative prognim is constantly jrresented the voters, dhis keeps the ptirty in power ‘on their toes’ so to speak, and keeps public in terest cnlhusitistic and alive even \'hen there is not an imminent election.” "This might be a good idea m domestic policy, but what about, foreign policy? Wouldn’t you say that unity there would be desir able ?” , “Yes 1 would, but on the other hand, 1 think two points of view are ecFially valuable in foreign as well as domestic policy. There are, of course, basic British policies which are adhered to by both par ties in the area of foreign affairs. Two points of view on nonessen- tials make for flexibility.” It seems rather ironical that two countries so far apart geographi cally and so different in so many ways can arrive at the same gen eral conclusions on matters of in ternational importance. These dif ferences can become a souce of strength in the world today as examples of a really peaceful and friendly coexistence between tw'O world powers.” So 1 left this little “Bull Session” feeling very sopomoric. 1 thought I was an authority on comparative government after five minutes of eavesdropping.

Lee Hotel — Phone PA 2-8620 (Continued from Page One) ficial for Israel; the West profited too “The closing of the canal taught us by sad experience that the whole Western world caiuiot depend on the 'whims of an Orien tal dictator guided by Russia, con cluded the speaker. The second benefit to the West was more di rect. Following Sinai, a number of the weaker Middle Eastern Arab states escribed to the Eisenhower doctrine; this they would never have dared attempt before the Is raeli army destroyed the myth of an invincible Egyptian army. By taking a chance, Israel gained something vital to its own security as well as to the security of Eu rope. After finishing his address, the speaker opened Chapel to ques tions, the first of which was asked by Dr. Gramley: “What is the significance of the merger of Syria and Egypt?” To approximately quote Mr. Eilan, “No one knows what it is going to be; we may know wdiat it is not going to be.” The fact that there is no common border at the present time between the two countries makes the whole thing merely fiction. However, common territory could be estab lished by the elimination of Jor dan : from this would come a com mon boundary; it would lead as well to the deposition of a pro- Western king. Also, the Soviet’s entry into the Middle East has been greatly strengthened by this coalition; if Jordan were to be eradicated, the result would be a huge, unbroken territory controlled by pro-Russian powers. Among other questions from the floor, Mrs. Heidbreder posed one on the Gaza Strip refugee colony, This is a distressing problem to any humane person who knows the true circumstances. To Mr. Eilan it is the “biggest and most tragic hoax” ever played on international economy. In 194S, the Arab com manders ordered the evacuation of all Arab, towns that surrounded the Jewish villages slated” for at tack. Seven to eight hundred thousand Arabs left Israel on the promise that in two or three weeks they would return. They are still held under intolerable conditions in refugee camps — forbidden to either leave or seek employment. The tragedy lies in the fact that the Arabs are exploiting their own people for political gain: mostly U. S. yioney.
