had been no Marshall Plan. no North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The free nations of Asia and Africa. too. would be placed in serious jeopardy. And the countries of the Middle East would lose the markets upon which their economies depend. All this would have the most adverse, if not disastrotis effect upon our own nation's economic life and political prospects.

"Then there are other factors which transcend the material. The Middle East is the birthplace of three great religions-Moslem. Christian, and Hebrew. Mecca and Jerusalem are more than places on the map. They symbolize religions which teach that the spirit. has supremacy over matter and that the individual has a dignity and rights of which no despotic government can rightfully deprive him. it would be intolerable if the holy places of the Middle East should be subjected to A rule (Com- munism) that glorifics athcistic niaterialism.”

SEEKS NEW MARKETS

in these times of slackened trade with China, Hung Kong merchants have rt-at-bed out for new markets in Malaya and Indonesia. Many of the refugees brought considerable sums of money with them into Hong Kong. The cash has gone into development of new indust- rics. including the manufacture of plastics, textiles. flashlights. en- amelware. and air conditioners.

Ancient East and modern West, stirred together in Hong Kong. offer vivid contrasts to a visitor. in the harbor great luxury liners are niizzled by traditional junks and sanipans.
