...Veritas or Committed Men?": how misleading can a title of an article be? (Mr. Arnold's letter appeared on March 3.--Ed.).

If we are unwilling to commit ourselves fully to Israeli interests, it is indeed base to attempt to force the French into it. France with her Algerian problem, is as interested in maintaining Moslem goodwill as the United States, and hence is most unwilling to make the shipment, in spite of American pressure.
