Palestinian refugees “have been used by the Arab countries–particularly Egypt–as political pawns for years,” Democratic Congressman Abraham Multer told the House today. He characterized the Arab refugee question as “one of the most disturbing problems of the world today.”
Rep. Multer’s remarks were made as a preface to his insertion in the Congressional Record of an article by journalist Martha Gellhorn which appeared in “The Atlantic Monthly.” The article surveyed the work being done in Arab refugee camps by UNR WA, and drew the conclusion that its activities are subject to Arab political supervision and propaganda purposes.
