A tribute to “doughty little Israel” was voiced last night by former Governor Adlai E. Stevenson in his broadcast report on his five-month world tour.
(In Washington, Gov. Stevenson’s reference to the need for peace between Israel and the Arab States was taken as an indication that the Democrats in Congress, following his lead, may press for support of Israel and measures to secure an Arab-Israel peace.)
“The Middle East is largely a power and defense vacuum, except for doughty little Israel and tough, strong Turkey,” Mr. Stevenson said in his review of he world situation. “Peace is imperative in the Middle East–peace between Egypt and Britain, and between the Arab states and Israel, which is engaged as you know in an historic effort to provide refuge and new hope to oppressed people.”
