Your editorial of February 3, "Looking Over Jordan," states that "both Israel and the Arab nations are entitled to equal protection." Yet, nonetheless, the editorial maintains that Israel's arms request, to balance Egypt's recently swollen supply of arms from Czechoslovakia, should go unheeded.

...Middle East, buttonholed him at once to press his pet plan for Palestine peace-bilateral negotiations with Egypt's Nasser under U.N. chairmanship. Ben-Gurion is pushing this idea to avert mediation by Western powers, and particularly to keep out the British, whom the Israelis regard as pro-Arab. As in Cairo, Hammarskjold listened sympathetically, and would only say that he had now "got a fairly complete map" of the problems...
