Jackson speaks on Mid East
A member of the British
House of Commons who has
taught at the University spoke
on the Middle East crisis
Wednesday in the Union.
Colin Jackson, who is also a
commentator for the British
Broadcasting Company, first
visited Nebraska in 1952. He
estimated that he has returned
"about 15 times." One of these
occasions was in 1955 as a
visiting professor in interna
tional relations.
Jackson claimed the Middle
East situation is a crisis
"greater than Vietnam." The
United States is ending the
Vietnam conflict, he added, but
the Middle East is an erratic
and dangerous situation which
"could spiral out of control."
Nasser's death and dreary
conditions in Egypt were two
factors which, he cited as in
tensifying the problem.
Jackson said Nasser was tired1,
diabetic and ill and he "was not
surprised he died." Jackson
paid the Egyptian leader an

informal visit shortly before his
death and was one of the last to
see him alive.
"Egypt is unstable." He
noted the country has a rapidly
growing population that is
becoming crowded on Egypt's
poor land. Their major source
of revenue, the Canal, is closed
and no tourists bring in money
now.
Jackson feels the death of
Nasser may be a blow to
chances of peaceful settlement
in the region. He said Nasser
was tired of war. According to
the speaker personal sources
have told him that Nasser had
said he would accept the peace
plan offered by Secretary of
State Rogers.
Jackson said he claims
almost every leader in the
Middle East as a friend. He
first went to the region as a
British soldier almost 25 years
ago when it was still called
Palestine.
He said young Arabs could be
a "source of danger" because
they are pro-Palestinian. The
Red Chinese would also,
Jackson believes, like to see
continued conflict in the Middle
East because they would
benefit in comparison to the
United States and Russia.
