U.S. to double its Arab trainees
NEW YORK — The American Jewish Congress has assailed as "folly" Defense Department plans to double the number of Arab fservicemen receiving military ijtraining in the U.S. next year.
The Jewish group called the I Pentagon project, "discourag-
ing evidence of failure to understand our country's obliga-tlons and opportunities in extending lasting help to the peoples of the Middle East."
Stanley H. Lowell, co-chairman of the Commission on Interna-ftional Affairs of the American I Jewish Congress, said in a letter |to Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara:
"How much better it would \ be if instead o£ 633 Arab soldiers [studying military tactics we had 633 Arab students—or even 6,033 —training in.our luiiversities and industrial plants, acquiring tech-
nological and scientific skills to equip them to lead their countries in reclaiming the land and adding to the prosperity of their peoples?
"The Pentagon claims this military training program is for those Arabs 'who may be tomorrow's political and economic leaders'," Mr. Lowell continued, adding:
"The way to develop such leaders, it seems to us, is through training in politics and economics—^nct warfare. If our country seeks indeed to contribute to the stability of those Arab nations that may yet prove friendly to us, the way to do it is not by doubling the ranks of those to whom we teach the arts of war but by increasing ten-fold the number we train in the arts of peace.
**The way to extend our
hand to the Arab peoples is not by promoting a misleading and futile reliance upon weaponry and firepower but by teaching the skills of public health .and scientific farming.
The American Jewish Congress spokesman's letter to the Defense Department continued:
"Every American looks forward to the time when friendly relations can be restored between the Arab states and the United States government. Surely everything appropriate should be done to speed that day.
"But It Is folly to expect that this purpose will be advanced by continuing to ann, train and supply forces that ruthlessly carried out the wHl of Arab rulers whose objectives were and remain directly inimical to American interests in the Middle East
"It is unfathomable that we should now propose to invite for military training the young officer corps of those governments that short weeks ago denounced this country, insulted us in the United Nations, lied about our activities and collaborated with those who sought to defeat our country's purposes.
"America's curious policies have resulted in the anomaly of U.S. arms and U.S.-trained officers being used to advance the objectives of Arab dictators and potentates in intimate association with the Soviet Union.
"The way to help the Arab peoples is to co-operate in programs that will enable them to| rebuild and develop their lands —^not in ways that can only inspire further military adventures] and result in a spiraling toll of resources and lives."
