PAGE EIGHT Land Visit Champlin Describes Holy Land Situation Carroll D. Champlin, professor emeritus, said this week that during his visit to the Holy Land this year he was aware of 'con siderable tension and suspicion between the Arabs and Jewish people. “It is the belief of the missionaries and of the businessmen that we talked to in Jerusalem and Jordon that the Arab-Jewish situa- ation is threatening and full of danger, but that war can be-avert ed by western impartiality to the two peoples," Charnplin said. Champlin and his wife, resi dents of State College, spent Holy Week in Jerusalem this year. It was the educator’s twelfth inter national tour and his eighth Euro pean trip. The couple were mem bers of the Christian Herald Bible Land tour which lasted 60 days. 262 On Tour The tour was composed of mis sionaries, retired teachers, and laymen of churches. Only 13 clergymen went on the tour. Dur ing the trip, the 262 members visited the Island of Madeira, Al geria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordon, Israel, Cyprus, Tur key,- Greece, Italy, .France,. Spain, and Portugal.' ; The Arab-Jewish situation did not seem quite as bad to them as the newspapers play it up to be, Champlin said. He . expressed his belief that the differences be tween the two peoples would be ironed out even though it may take several decades. He said the Arabs eventually will see they will reap some of the benefits from Jewish diligence and pros perity and .will decide it might be most beneficial to them to settle their differences peacefully. Aid From U.S. Israel is getting the benefit of expert counsel and aid mainly from the United States, and it is making the most of it, Champlin said. The Jewish immigrants who are pouring into Israel, are prov ing that they are good workers and farmers, he said. The United States, Champlin said, is trying to show its im partiality by not only giving aid for the development of Israel, but also by giving substantial. aid to the Arabs for defense and se curity purposes. This appears to be profitable' diplomacy, he said. The educator mentioned seeing troops in Syria, Jordon, Israel, Turkey, and many of the other countries. Syria, an Arab coun try, had more troops ..than any other country, Champlin said, but they were not as well trained nor equipped as the Jewish troops. Turkey Army Best Perhaps the best armed and trained army belongs to Turkey, he said. The soldiers in’the Turk ish army look like American foot ball players, he said. “Neither the Jewish people nor the Arabs like communism, but both are afraid of it because they are so close to Iraq and Iran where communism is definitely a threat.

He said he thought tlje American people should realize ; that the Arabs are worthy people who are contemplative, and refined—even the poor people. The unfortunate part, Champlin said, is that in many instances they are en couraged by their Moslem leaders to be indolent, indifferent, and idle, and to ignore any ■ oppor tunities to obtain an education. The Arabs are forced to beg, he said, and it isn’t unusual for even a little child being carried by his mother to stretch out his arms and say, “Bachshesh,” (money), Champlin said. The American dollar is revered everywhere in the Middle East, he said. During their tour, they went to several “Kasbahs,” or na tive markets. The Kasbah is lo cated in the heart of the town and the “ro-"k-” (shops) he said, 262 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE Moments ago his instructor said, “Good luck son.

The shopkeepers sold every thing from petty merchandise to heavy copper and silver fabrica tions. The shops, Champlin added, were exactly as literature pictures them—dirty and dingy. The educator said he made a point of talking to children, stu dents, and adults alike in an effort to establish a friendly relation ship. “At first the people, would-look cynically at- these- Americans dressed in their good clean clothes. But soon, they would relax and begin to talk,” he said. Champlin taught at the Uni versity for 27 years before he re tired in July, 1953, as professor emeritus. Seniors- (Continued from page one) .
