Americas Once-Aloof Foreign Policy
Bends as New World Role Beckons
HandsOf Attitude Faces Drastic Change the United States
Prepares Take Sides in Democracy Communism Issue
By Garneff d. Horner

evident III a comparison of Mr..
Truman's address last week with
the late President Roosevelt's March
l, 1945. report to Congress on the
Yalta Conference.
MIR. Truman declared ''it must be
the policy of the United States to
support free peoples who are re-
sisting attempted subjugation by
armed minorities or outside pres
sures." There was no doubt but that
by armed minorities" he meant
Communists, and by outside pres
sures" he meant Soviet pressure.
Roosevelt's Yalta Report.
Mr.. Roosevelt returned from Yalta
convinced that there will be a
more stable political Europe than
ever before" because of the agree
ment for joint action by the United
States, Russia and Britain to help
liberated countries and former Axis
partners solve their own problems
through democratic processes" He
emphasized that decisions would be
made Jointly" and that even this
joint responsibility would end "once
there has been a free expression of
the peoples will in any country"
Why the change? It is not due

interior of Asia. Long in existence
is the famed pipeline connecting
the great Iraq oil fields with the
Kuwait is an Arabian port at the
northwest angle of the Persian Gulf,
about 80 miles south of Basra. Its
fields are one of the newest develop
ments in the Middle East. The con-
cession is held by the Kuwat Oil
Co., a jointly owned subsidiary of
Anglo -Iranian and Gulf Oil Corp.
Up to July. 1912, when work was
suspended because of the war, 10
wells had been dug. Now, seven
have been reopened with a daily ca
pacity of about 10000 barrels.
Another Deal Brewing.
One prime reason for the new line
is need for facilities to transport oil
more economically. Persian Gulf
oil transported by tanker must pass
through the Suez Canal where a
toll of about 18 cents per barrel is
levied. Completion of the new line
will eliminate this toll.
The new line is. the third major
development involving Middle East
oil and American companies in four
months, and the second since the
Senate Oil Investigating Committee
announced in January that "the
United States could not fight an
other major war on its own oil
alone"
The biggest deal of all, which
many oil men believe the most
important in quarter Of a CEN
tury, is the transaction, now under
negotiation, whereby Arabian
American would transfer 40 per
cent of its rich Arabian conces-
sions to Standard Oil (New Jer-
sey) and Socony Vacuum. Details
of the negotiation call for Jersey
Standard TO acquire 81 per cent
and Socony 10 per cent.
According to william F. Buck
ley chairman of the Stockholders
Committee, Pantepec Oil Co., the
recent Middle East negotiations will
have the effect of relegating Vene-
zuelan oil to reserve status
which he highly approved
TT is obviously to the interest
of the United States that the re-
serves of oil in this country and
Venezuela should not be depleted.
and consequently that in time Of
peace the vast reserves Of the Near
East instead Of oil from the United
States and Venezuela supply Eu-
rope and to some extent the United
States" he declared.

Nations Wartime Hero
May Appear Again
in Politics
n NJ @IIs
Bv Paul Ghali

PARASITIC De Gaulle star
seems to be rising again in the
French political heaven. In fact,
the name of Frances wartime hero,
heard only in whispers since last
autumn, has returned to many lips
in the last few weeks.
"a man like De Gaulle" is what
we need to put cur house in order
and to stimulate the country's re-
construction, many astute observers
are now heard to affirm.
The nail-and- -knuckle brawl,
which extreme rightist deputies
engineered last week in the Assem-
bly,, gave parliamentary prestige
another push downward and a new
flip to the De Gaulle stock.
The idea apparently was to at
tract attention to the comparatively
small but pugnacious extreme
rightist PRL Party Republicans
Party of Liberty which poses as
Frances sole opponent to commun-
ism.
The Indo-China debate, during
which the rightist accused the
Communists of siding with Wet
Nam in its effort to wipe out French
domination, offered the rightists
their opportunity.
Dangerous Brawls.
In the course of the arguments,
Maurice Thorez, general secretary
of the French Communist Party,
was again labeled wartime de-
serter. This taunt never fails to
arouse the Communists. The party's
deputies jumped from their seats
and told the rightists just what
they thought of them, using fists
to stress their convictions.
The danger Of interparty brawls
is that they make the nation more
amenable to solutions tending to
revision of the new constitution
on a less democratic basis. Charles
de Gaulle has repeatedly declared
that a Parliament ruled by three
parties of approximately equal i'm
portance is incapable of forming
working majority and that a gov
ernment rejecting this Assembly Is
equally powerless
The incapacity of Paul Ranadier
government to put French affairs in
order thus brings water to the De
Gaulle mills. De Gaulle, incidently,
has announced his intention of
speaking on March 80, at Bruneval
in Normandy, to former resistance
leaders.

There is a raft of other important

It will include proposals to reduce
taxes and Government expenditures,
to amend the Federal labor laws,

NEW YORK.-The United States
reached out for another toe-hold
in the rich Middle East oil fields
last week by planning added facili-
ties for the quick transfer of oil
from fields in the interior to
Mediterranean ports.
The "toe-hold" was formation OF
Middle East Pipelines, Ltd, Gre
ated jointly by Standard Oil Co. IN
j., Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., Inc.
and Anglo -Iranian Oil Co., Ltd, for
the purpose of constructing and
operating still another 1000 miles
of pipeline from the Iranian and
Kuwait fields to the Eastern Medi-
terraneah.
This new line, now in blueprint
stage, is not to be confused with
the great line Arabian-American Oil
Co. is building across the Arabian
peninsula to the Mediterranean.
L1uc u OOSt oU N1liiOus
Arabian-American, sole owner OF
the oil concessions of Saudi-Arabia
lis jointly owned by Standard Oil
Co. of California and the Texas Co.
The Arabian-American line will
cost $SO,OOo,000 and is sched-
uled for competitor late in '1949
Contracts were let two weeks ago
On Thursday of this week, however
the Syrian government announced
it's dissatisfaction with terms Of
their portion of the contract. This
development may delay start OF con-
struction.
The new line from the Iranian
and Kuwait fields is the outgrowth
of a big deal announced last De-
cember 26 by which British and
American interests pledged virtual
partnership in future development
of Middle East oil resources.
Terms Of the agreement called for
Anglo -Iranian to sell substantial
quantities of crude oil for period
Of years" to Jersey Standard and
Socony.
Initial deliveries will await COM
pletion of the new line.
According to Sir william Fraser
chairman Of the Anglo-Iranian
Standard of Jersey will own 40 per
cent of the stock. Socony 10 per cent
and Anglo-Iranlan so per cent.
One branch of the line from Ku-
wait will merge with another branch
from the Iranian fields and then
form direct line to the Mediter-
ranean.
Completion Of the Iranian-Ku-
wait and Arabian oil lines viii give

measures-will be no sinecure
There is wide divergence of indi-
vidual opinion on the question OF
labor legislation, on the country's
foreign relations as they apply to
the proposed Greek and Turkish
loans and to relief appropriations.
There will be division, too, on the
Presidents proposals for unification
of the armed forces in one execu-
tive department and for universal
military training.
These are issues which will try
to the utmost the qualities of lead
ership of Majority Leader Halleck-
supported as he will be by Speaker
Martin.
The new Republican floor leader
is of sanguine temperament. He
lis confident that the Republicans
will give a good account of them
selves and will bring forth the kind
of legislation the majority of the
people desire-and in his opinion,
the kind of legislation that will be
good for the country.
The ruddy-faced. prematurely
gray majority leader is a veteran
of many hot debates on the floor
of the House-when as a minority
member he was attacking or lead
ing an attack on some of the Roose-
velt New Deal measures and poll
cies. AS majority leader, he will
attack Truman legislative proposals
when he cannot go along with
them-and will defend the Re-
publican Legislative program. But
his present job goes far beyond
this give and take on the floor.
He must be able to prevail upon
those Republican members who
show signs of going off the reser-
walton" when particular bills are
before the House.
Keeps Finger ON Pulse.
All of this takes political ability.
Politics is Mr.. Halleck's dish, how
ever. It has been said Of Hoosiers
that they are all either writer's or
politicians-ands some are both. And
