New Hampshire Bears Out Woodrow Wilson's
Theory That Crossroads Make Public Opinion

b. The double surprise furnished
by New Hampshire on Tuesday
recalls a theory that Woodrow
Wilson used to expound. It was
that public opinion in America
is not made in the metropolitan
centers but at the country cross
roads. There, he said, the citi-
zens could gather around the
pot bellied stove, chew tobacco,
spit in the sawdust box and
really talk things out. Chewing,
he would assert, was a rumina-
tive process. productive of re-
Election and serious thought.
Further. a man didn't speak
until he was ready to spit and
that reduced wasteful conver-
Sation to a minimum.
On one occasion this fanciful
idea got its author into trouble.
He offered it as a humorous
aside in the course of a speech
to a small gathering in New
York. At the time he was presi-
dent Of Princeton University.
Only one newspaper took no.
tice of his speech and above
its brief item the headline
read: President Wilson Favors
Chewing Tobacco" One of the
big tobacco companies seized on
the item and made it part of a
national advertising campaign.

Kefauver has had the benefit

ing given him during a bitter

that it would give them just the

Man Found on Isle Linked

By the Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Panama, Mar.
15.-Informed sources said today
United States intelligence agents
are questioning a man who turned
up mysteriously on a Caribbean
island about the time Dominican
Republic officials said Russian
submarines were spotted in the
Caribbean.
The man was reported as being
held in secret police headquarters,
under questioning by both Pana-
manian police and United States
military intelligence officials in
the Canal Zone. His name was
not disclosed.
He has described himself both
as a Finn and a Lithuanian, and
was said to be about % years old,
the sources said.
He was brought to Panama
after being found early this month
on Aligandi Island, one of the San
Bias islands on the Atlantic coast
of Panama.
Authoritative sources said he
claimed to have been a crewman
on a ship which he said was run
ming arms between Miami, Fla.
and Dakar, French West Africa,
and to have reached the island
after the ship sank.
No sinking in the area of the
islands has been reported in re-

IMaIik Charges in U. N
That U. 5. Is Using
Germ War in Korea
BY the Associated Pres,

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. Mar
15.-Soviet Delegate Jacob A.
Malik yesterday accused the United
States of using meteorological
weapons in Korea and China and
called on the United States Dis
armament Commission to consi-
der Immediately measures to
prevent future use Of germ war;
fare.
Benjamin v. Cohen. United
States delegate, Immediately
called the charges "unwarranted
and unsubstantiated."
Mr.. Cohen said the United
States has asked the Information
al Red Cross to investigate these
charges and urged Mr.. Malik to
use his influence to see that an
impartial investigation is made.
Says World Is Indignant.
Mr.. Malik made his charges at
the first meeting Of the new U. N.
Disarmament Commission here.
"The whole world is indignant
at the United States use of bac-
THEOLOGICAL warfare in Korea and
China" Mr.. Malik said. "The
Disarmament Commission cannot
pass over or ignore such facts as
the use by American troops in Ko-
rea and China Of archaeological
weapons designed to produce mass
destruction"
Mr.. Malik said the commission
should Immediately consider the
prohibition of this sort of war;
fare and measures to prevent its
future use"
Asks Big Arms Reduction.
The Malik charges followed a
barrage of similar accusations
from Communist Chinese and
North Korean sources.
Mr.. Malik also called on the
commission 10 declare immediate
ly for a substantial reduction in
the armed forces of the big powers
and a ban on atomic weapons.
Mr.. Cohen had submitted a plan
of work for arms control by stages,
and asked all nations to submit
disarmament plans. Mr.. Malik de-
manded immediate decisions. He
also hit a Secretary of State Dean

John c. Henry:
Arab Bloc in State Of Agitation
Propaganda OF Politically Corrupt Void Porty in Egypt
PerPetuotes Threat of Explosive Middle Eost Crisis

The announced decision of
the Wafd Party in Egypt not
to support the new government
of Prime Minister Ahmed
Naguib Hilaly Pasha means that
time is once again running
swiftly against a resolution Of
the Anglo o-Egyptian impasSe.
The Wafd Party is the domi-
nant political structure in
Egypt. 1t holds a controlling
majority in the Parliament and
it was for this reason that the
legislative body was suspended
for a month by decree of King
Farouk when Hilaly Pasha was
summoned about two weeks
ago to form a new government.
The Wafdists had tolerated the
previous government of Ally
Maher PaSha because they knew
they were in position to exer-
else a veto power over any
action or commitments.
With Parliament in suspen-
sion they cannot exercise that
veto power as directly today
but their maneuvering perpetu-
ateS the threat. In the face of
their expressed decision to OPP
pose the Hilaly regime, the King
now has the alternative of
ordering the Parliament dis
solved and directing that new
elections be held. BY terms of
the Egyptian constitution such
an election must be held within
three months of the dissolu-
ton decree. In Egypt, as else
where. the staging of a ma
tional election requires time.
The danger, however, is that
the three months limitation
will not provide enough time to
enable the anti-Wafd forces to
break the political power of a
party as highly organized and
as cynically clever as the Wafd.
The form of the Wafd an
nouncement in opposition to
Hilaly Pasha reflects the clev-
erness. The Wafd Party has
Evening star., 1952-03-15

gained a reputation. and prob
ably deservedly. for political
corruption. 1t was on this issue
that Hilaly Pasha himself left
the party last year. While pay-
ing lip service to the idea of
cleaning up such corruption,
the party leadership has delib-
erately distracted the public at
tention by hammering con-
Stantly at the grievances with
the British. It was this strategy
that played a large part in forc-
ing the Anglo Egyptian contro-
versy to its violent climax.
In the announcement of q
few days ago, made by Nahas
Pasha, president Of the Wafd
and ousted Prime Minister, the
same formula was followed. To
draw attention to Egypt's politi-
cal shortcomings during a time
of national struggle, he
charged, was to pour shame on
the country. The real and only
issue of the day, he implied.
was to drive the hated British
out of Egypt and to effect d
union between Egypt and the
Sudan. Preoccupation with any
other problem. he implied fur
ther. embraced treachery to the
national cause.
While such accusations con-
Stitute sheer political chicanery.
the fact is that Egypt and any
government it can have in the
present atmosphere are captives
OF this propaganda. Egypt does
have a grievance with the
British but with a measure of
nationality on each side-and
such measure has been indicated
by the recent words and conduct
OF both British Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden and King
Farouk-a negotiated resolu-
ton Of the issues is within
reach. Basically. the Wafdists
do not want it resolved on any
conditions except ones which
would not only confer all the

Meanwhile, continuance Of
the Anglo-Egyptian deadlock
leaves the entire Arab bloc in
the Middle East In q state Of
agitation The bonds of Islam
are strong among these coun-
tries and Egypt. by virtue of its
greater economic and political
development, is the bell
wether nation. In varying de-
grees. all Of the other Arab ma
tionS In the area have given
signs that ais of today they
would favor strengthening
rather than weakening their
relationships with the West.
Several Of. them have let 1t be,
known unofficially that they
were startled by Egypt's abrupt
abrogation of the Anglo -Egyp-
tian treaty and disappointed at
her summary rejection Of the
Middle East Command pro-
poSal.
There are doubts in their
minds, however, about the depth
of Western friendship, and in
the absence Of a reconciliation
between Egypt and Britain they
feel themselves powerless to
take any affirmative pro- West
ern step. If the Anglo Egyptian
crisis explodes again it would
undoubtedly bring to power a
Wafdist- dominated government
of more unbridled nationalist
tendencies than any yet seen.
Such an example in Egypt
might easily spread to others Of
the Arab group.
A development of this ma
ture would give a Boxer re-

Middle East that could be dis
astrous to the Western in
terests. That it might be even
more disastrous in the long run
to the Middle East is no safe
guard against its happening.
