elieve that popular enthusiasm for Israel has passed its peak with the successful establishment of that State. nderstand that some of the principal Jewish supporters are already cutting down their contributions, and it may be that financial resources will steadily dry up. If this is understood and believed by Israeli leaders, they may be willing to camp:omise their ambitions and settle downimited state such as tho territory they now occupy. If, oa the other hand, they are confident of co it 1suing resources, the extremists may win out, and they may continue to selre additional territory. This continues to be the chief threat to peace. The Caited Nations has not been able to agree oa definite borders for the Israeli State which already administers territory It was never contemplated she should have; and without agreeaeat among the powers to establish the frontiers, the hope for peace depends upon the reasonableness of both Jews aad Arabs la accepting boundaries thatompromise, and then remaining within those boundaries.'
