...likely to add. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan last week said that Israel should keep the Gaza Strip -and, although the government denied that his words were official, it did not say that they were necessarily wrong. Another area that Israel is getting increasingly attached to is the west bank of the Jordan, where Israeli administrators are finding it easier than they had thought to govern a large Arab population. Not only that, but the fertile west bank would make an attractive place in which to move the 315,000 refugees now crowded into the Gaza Strip, say the Israelis...
Different Ruler. Jordan also has a pressing necessity to act courageously. Hero or not, Hussein cannot long hope to survive, at least as a moderate, without getting the west bank of his country back. Palestinian Jordan, which the Israelis now hold, is the most prosperous part of his land. It contains nearly a third of the arable farm land, nearly half the population-and Jerusalem. With U.S. and British aid, long-range development programs and expanded tourism, Hussein had expected to make his country self-supporting by 1971. Without the west bank, however, and the strong tourist revenues from...
Hollow-Eyed Misery. And yet Jordan has been crippled by the war. The swarm of refugees crossing the Allenby Bridge from the Israel-occupied west bank has been reduced to a trickle, and the Israelis last week reversed their position and announced that refugees would be allowed to return to their homes...
Stymied by Squabbles. Over the next 30 years, rising U.S. population and incomes are expected to create a demand for more new housing than the nation has built since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. To finance it, S & Ls and mutual banks need more lee-way to attract and invest funds-partly to tap new sources of saving and partly to end the feast-or-farnine swings in mortgage lending. Builders have pressed for years to expand HUD's Federal National Mortgage Association into a central bank trading in conventional as well as FHA and VA mortgages...
Behind the conference, attended by consulting engineers and World Bank and United Nations representatives, lay Caterpillar's high-minded-and shrewd -concern with the plight of developing nations, which must start clearing their underdeveloped land if they are to meet the food needs of their burgeoning populations. Dramatizing the role it can play, Cat recently completed a test project in Costa Rica demonstrating that modern equipment can clear the densest jungle thicket for about $50 an acre; with older methods, the cost can run as high as $500. Beyond immediate clearing jobs, Caterpillar can expect to reap long-range...
