Also, that the lifting of this bur¬ den from 'the shoulders of the government, enabled Israel to meet the threat of force and ag¬ gression f ronn a position o f strength  Instead  of  weakncaa.

SPENCER IRWIN TO
DISCUSS SUEZ
ON DEC. 12
Recognizing tho need for ag- thoritlvc information on the Mld- dle-Eaatern crisis, B'nai B'rith Zion Lodge 62 hgji obtained Spen¬ cer Irwin, Foreign Affairs editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, .to give a realistic interpretation of the situation.
He will be heard at a special meeting, open to members and friendfl of all Columbua Jewish organizations, to take place Wed- ncsday, Dec. 12, 8:30 p. m.
Zion Lodge has arranged this solely as an Informative program for its members and the com¬ munity.
With the swiftly-moving events occurring in that part of the world, many of us undoubtedly are standing In the crosafire of contradictory reports and varied interpretations of Middle-Eastern conditions.
Though few of ua are in doubt about what Is right and wrong, the removal of many misleading views would serve to fortify our own convlotlons. On this note, at¬ tendance at the meeting will re¬ sult In greater understanding of the problems involved.
A leading spokesman for peacf with Justice In the AOddle-Saat, Mr. Irwin needs little Introduc¬ tion to the Columbus community. He Is one of the recognlKed au¬ thorities on the present Arab- Israel conflict. He will give a vivid picture of events and facts about the present and future out- 1 look for the Middle-East, with implications (or the American ' community.
