Iran Command Aids Russia
Eliot Declares New British setup
Offers Better Chance to Cooperate

! increasing the capacity of the trans
Irianian railway and extending its
branch and feeder lines.
Good relations have been main
tanned with the government of Iran
despite an undercover Axis propa-
ganda effort which persisted even
after the expulsion from that coun-
try Of known Axis nationals and
agents.
The situation, nevertheless, re-
mains a somewhat uncertain one,
due not only to the German ad-
vances in the Caucasus, but to the
fact that Marshal Rommel still
hovers before the line of Ell Alamein
only IS miles west of Alexandria.
II the Germans should break
through the passes of the Caucasus
at the same time that Rommel
makes a successful advance into
Egypt and onward to Palestine, not
only would the military situation of
the British and American forces In
the Middle East be seriously COM
promised, but the political situation
In all the Arab land, In Turkey and
Iran would take a decided turn for
the worse.
Take Realistic View.
All of these peoples have tended
to take a most realistic view of the
war and their relation to 1t and
none of them is in any way i'm
pressed by words; they are i'm
pressed only by deeds. We have
already made the painful discovery
that in Malaga and Burma our
words had far less weight with ma
tive populations than Japanese
deeds, and If it should be a question
OF German deeds against Anglo
American words in the Middle East,
it Is to be feared that the result
would be just as unsatisfactory from
our point of view.
The whole area, Gen. Wilson's
new command plus that of Gen.
Alexander covering Egypt, Syria
and Palestine, has in the past been
called the strategical arch of the
British Empire, commanding as it
does the land bridge between Eu-
rope and Asia and that between
Asia and Africa, as we'll as the
vitally important maritime commu-
nications of the Suez Canal and the
Persian Gulf.
When, therefore, calls arise for
offensive operations by the United
Nations in this or that part of the
world, we ought to keep in mind
that before answering them we
much examine the security of those
fixed positions which are essential
to our communications one with an
other. to the maintenance of the
blockade of Germany, to the con-
tinued separation of our two chief
enemies and, indeed, to our ability
to prosecute the war at all.
Any decision for an offensive
which compromises the safety of
our positions in the Middle East is
for that reason alone essentially de-
fective. The necessities of war con-
front those who are charged with its
conduct with many difficult choices,
but in war as in most human enter
prises, first things must come first.

While it delays acceptance Of a

until it regards it as practically
complete, it must get relief for
the starving population from
whatever trade can be kept up
with the New World, and it is
irresistibly inclined to empha-
size the ideal of "Hispanidad,"
which, 1t fears, the rallying OF
the old continent to the cause of
the United Nations might impair
or destroy.
Declaration Of Neutrality.
The problem for which the
diplomacy of Gen. Franco at
tempts to find a solution, arises
from the Brazilian declaration of
war on Germany and Italy. Is
Chile to follow suit and, in her
turn, will Argentina have to be-
come a belligerent lest she soon
finds herself dangerously iso-
lated? It is obvious that the VIC
tories achieved in the Coral Sea,
the Solomons and Midway by
the United States and Australian
forces have, to a great extent,
dispelled the fears of the Chilean
government and people for the
safety of their coast line and that
now they are prone to side with
the United Nations in the conflict.

public Is expected to visit Wash
ington next month. The od&

Evening star., 1942-09-05

Serrano Suner Is considered q
preparation for a significant
step. For more than a year con-
versations have been going on be-
tween the Spanish and Portu-
guese governments regarding a
union between the two countries.
All the elements in favor Of at
least an economic union were at
hand. The main difficulty was
the political aspect of the union.
Serrano Suner was enthusiast
tically in favor of a complete
politico-economic union on the
pattern of Switzerland, and he
saw the only possibility of
achieving the result in tying the
new Iberian state to the Axis
chariot.
Serrano Suner Baked.
The Portuguese we're not op-
posed to the idea Of a complete
union, but were reluctant to go
into the Nazi camp bag and bag
gage. They held strongly to the
view that such a newborn state
should preserve strict neutrality
and have friends in both camps.
Since Spain was close to the
Axis, and Portugal, particularly
since Brazil became one of the
United Nations, was close to the
United States and Britain, the
view in Lisbon was that it would
be to the advantage Of the new
state to have friendly relations
with all belligerents. In fact, the
Portuguese are reported to con-
tend, Spain and Portugal are the
logical nations to promote any
new peace move.

and has violent temper, is re-

Spain Proposes Neutrality
Sounding Out Portugal and Argentina
On Course to Check Anti-Axis Solidarity

recommend that Portugal and
Argentina should join with Spain
in a declaration of neutrality to
be published whenever an OPP
portunity comes for 1t. A Russo
Japanese conflict, If 1t broke out,
would supply an adequate pre-
text. Hitherto, Portugal and
Argentina have avoided clearly
defining their position toward
the delicate neutrality problem
which, for them, was the out
come of Brazils bold move last
month.
Overseas Assistance Needed.
Then, what is believed to be a
potent argument could be used
by all those who strive to dis
courage Chile's impulse toward
the United Nations. 1t would
be said that since the Lisbon
government, Notwithstanding the
bond of common origin with
Brazil, decided on policy of
strict aloofness, no valid justifi-
cation for entering the struggle
can be found by Chile in those
moral and material interests on
which the Pan-American ideal
is supposed to rest, nor even in
the commitments subscribed to
in the American conferences
of Havana and Rio de Janeiro.
On behalf of those moral and
material interests, at any rate,
Chile should not feel compelled
to do what Portuguege Premier
Salazar did not concede to Brazil
in the name of kinship. In any
event, once that tripartite decla-
ration of neutrality had become
an accomplished fact, the gov
ernment of Buenos Aires would
be more firmly anchored in the
formulas of abstention worked
out by Foreign Minister Ruiz
Guinazu. Such is the plan with
which the Franco government
has been credited.
All other considerations left
aside, the Portuguese government
has always been in the past so
careful not to take any risk
whenever Brazilian friendship
was at stake that Spanish diplo-
macy will need exceptional per-
suasive power to win its point
in Lisbon. Moreover, Spain her
self, however vulnerable to Ger
many she feels, is aware that she
can hardly do without economic
assistance from overseas and she
must be impressed also by the
growing military might of Eng
land and America.
On the day Spain realizes that
the policy which she attempts to
carry out in South Amehrica Is
bound, sooner or later, to set
her at crosspurposes with those
two great nations, she may choose
to give 1t up rather than to have
to run the full course in the
other direction and to stand or
fall with Hitler.

This Changing World
Serrono Suner Custer Viewed as Preparation
For Union Between Spoin and Portugal

ported to have refused to accept
the Portuguese point of view and
to have suggested to Gen. Franco
that Nan methods be used to
bring Portugal into line. Gen.
Franco, who was aware OF the
dynamite In such action, pre-
ferred to jettison his brother-in-
law, even at the risk Of incurring
the displeasure of his Berlin and
Rome friends.
According to all available re-
ports from Spain, there is no
question Of Gen. Franco hopping
on the United Nations band
wagon. Gen. Franco is chiefly in
terested in keeping Spain out of
the war as long as possible. When
it becomes no longer possible to
continue this policy he will un-
questionably join the group which
in his opinion is most likely to win
the war, Just as that other neutral
-Turkey-will do.
Diplomats Breathe Easier.
The American high command
is fully aware that neither the
Spanish leader nor the head of
any nation can be expected to
yield to emotional appeals when
Nazi bombers and panzers are
less than Is miles from the
Spanish border.
A merger of Spain and Portugal
in itself is of secondary impor-
tance In the development of the
war. But the fact that Gen.
Franco has taken more of the
reins of government into his own
hands has caused many a United
Nations diplomat to breathe with
relief.
Gen. Franco has many faults as
a man and as statesman, but he

"Rommel has lost the initiative and
we seem to have seized it."
While the opposing forces spared
for position on the Egyptian land
front, Allied air forces, including
American bombers, blasted at Rom
mel's supply lines on land and sea
Raj and Australian bombers and
torpedo planes picked out an Axis
convoy on the Mediterranean and
1t was announced one merchant ship
was sunk, a destroyer probably sunk
and a third ship set ablaze. The
same convoy had been attacked
previously by United States Army
bombers.
Reports from the front said Unit
ed States tank crews, riding Gen
Grants into action in the first two
days of the battle which began
Sunday, had showed they can both
take it and hand 1t back. United
States headquarters in Cairo an
nounced that one American tank

One Hit by Five Shells.
British Lance Corp. j. H. Webb,

it had been hit by five shells and
then returned and drove it off the
field, said the American tank men
were "a fine bunch of chaps who
are quick on the mark and can shoot

always, even under difficult cir
cumstances. He is not likely to
go against the Nazis and the
Fascists who helped him defeat
the Loyalists. But now that he
is the sole head of the Spanish
government he is likely to work
for Spain first and for his old
friends afterwards.
During the early part of this
week there were "circumstantial"
rumors in England that a sur
prise attack against Gibraltar
from the Spanish position at La
Linea could be expected. How
much truth these rumors con-
tanned is difficult to say, but
the departure OF serranos Suner
from the Madrid foreign office
has at least moderated British
fears on this score.

and from India on the other.
AS long as they were not so de-
tached, the Russians might well
have felt that decisions vitality af-
fecting the security and communi-
cations of the Caucasus might be
made under difficult circumstances
by British officers whose primary
concern was the defense of Egypt or
the defense of India.
Gen. Wilson Is now In position
independent of either Egypt or In
dia, with his own lines of commu-
nication by way of the Persian Gulf,
and can devote the whole of his
attention to the security and i'm
provement Of those lines and to the
concerting with the Russians of
plans for the defense Of the Cau-
casian area and the TRANSIT Caspian
region.
The officer selected for this i'm
portan task is, fortunately, one of
the ablest commanders on the Brit
ish Army list. He commanded the
Army of the Nile when Gen. Waven's
| first great campaign was launched
which resulted in the destruction of
the Italian Army in Libya and the
first British occupation of Cyre-
naica.
Commanded British in Greece.
Subsequently he commanded the
| British forces In Greece under
extraordinarily difficult conditions
and he was the commander of the
British force which took over Syria
from the French. Both In success
and in adversely. Gen. Wilson has
shown outstanding qualities of mill
tary character and his elevation to
the post of commander in chief is
a proper recognition of his record.
He has no easy task. 1t is quite
possible, one might almost say it is
probable, that the Caucasian front
will be separate from the main Rus
sian, front and will be entirely de-
pendent for its supplies on the rail-
ways and roads Of Iran and Iraq.
| An Anglo o-American mission under
Gen. Rhodes has been busily en-
gagged since last winter in improv-
| ing these communications and,
| judging from the rather fragmentary
information available here, has ac-
complisned wonders in building
highways, improving port facilities,
