Is it possible?
Events of the eighties at Mount Sinai and Jerusalem are an actual
prelude to soon-coming world peace!
T
HE WORLD NEWS
spotlight has been
focusing on the
boiling caldron of
animosities and wars m the
Middle East.
The hostage crisis with
lslamic Iran, the Arab- Israeli
wars, the Arab oil crisis, have
flared all over news headlines.
This entire embroilment has
enftamed out of an ancient jeal–
ousy between two women over
one man. Yet out of the present
emotional ftare-up emerges now a
prelude to final
GLOBAL PEACE
for the first time since mankind
has inhabited the earth!
It
is a factual story, stranger,
more
e~citing
and intriguing,
than any fiction. Yet the world is
unaware of tbis tremendous por–
tent or its fascinating back–
ground.
Seven modern events involving
Middle East antagonisms, the
United States and Britain con–
verge into this immediate fore–
runner to world peace.
I have .been remotely involved,
personally, in sorne of these seven
events. These recent events and
their background is a long story,
2
but one of majar significance to
the whole world.
I have only recently returned
from my most rece11t Middle East
visit. There 1 had significant per–
sonal conferences with Prime
Minister Menachem Begin of
Israel and President Anwar el–
Sadat of Egypt. President Sadat
showed me architect's renderings
of bis historie projected World
Peace Center at the basé of
Mount Sinai. Amazingly, this is
an actual prelude to soon-coming
world peace! Mr. Sadat invíted
my participation in this peace
project.
But my personal detached
involvement in this whole Middle
East activíty, leadíng to the cli–
mactic crisis at the clase of this
age, began even befare the estab–
lishment of 'the modern state of
Israel in
1948.
1Meet Arab and Zlonist Leaders
After the end of the Second
World War,
1945,
the charter for
the United Nations was drawn up
at the San Francisco Conference.
1 attended the entire conference.
There I met and had prívate talks
with severa! world leaders. 1 had
two long meetíngs with sheik
Hafiz Wabba, Plenipotentiary
Extraordinary and spokesman for
the Arab world at the confer–
ence.
Later, February,
1947,
my wife
and

were in London en route to
Switzerland to investigate a possi–
ble establishment of a European
branch of Ambassador College.
Tbe sheik was hosting in London
a royal receptíon in honor of
crown prince Emir, who later
became the late King Saud of
Saudi Arabia. There 1 had anoth–
er prívate talk with the sheik.
Again in June,
1958,
we were
in Cairo, Egypt. The sheik was
spending the suínmer in Alexan–
dria. He and his wife carne over
to Cairo to spend an afternoon
with Mrs. Armstrong and me.
After the San Francisco Con–
ference and formatíon of the
United Nations,

Council. It was held at Hunter

Cíty. While in New York
