the night watchman at the

Straits was the issue on which
this cordiality disappeared.
Demilitarization of the Straits
was provided in the Treaty of
Lausanne in 1923 on terms
which were pleasing to neither
Russia nor Turkey. In 1886 the
MontreuX Convention revised
the Lausanne formula to per-
NIT Turkish remilitarization and
to give that country effective
control Of the waterway. Mos
COW was plainly dissatisfied with
the new arrangement although
Soviet representatives signed
the convention at Montreux,
Switzerland.
In the decade from 1886 to
1946, the Russian attitude to-
ward Turkey was alternately
. good. bad and Indifferent
depending upon the Soviet
fortunes of war at the moment.
In 1945. however, shortly be-
fore the end of the war in
Europe. Moscow began a press
and radio campaign of denun-
citation of Turkey and Soviet
publicists expanded the terri
torial claims which the Kremlin
was making. The question Of
revision of the Montreux Con-
vention came up at both the
Yalta and Potsdam Conferences.
In November. 1945, with Turkish
agreement, Secretary of State
ByrneS proposed certain revi-
sions which would have gone
far to meet Soviet complaints
about possible use of the water
way by warships Of non-Black
Sea powers.
The proposed concession was
not enough for Moscow and in
August, 1916, the Soviet govern

The Middle Way Spells StroddIe
Eisenhower Getting Bad Advice on Campaign Strategy
OF Neutrolty. Speech Made in Idaho indicates
David Lawrence:

If the Boise, Idaho, speech by
Gen. Eisenhower is a sample
of the strategy he has been ad-
vised to use in his campaign.
then the Republican presiden-
trial nominee has received some
bad advice.
For here at the opening of
the campaign, when the Nation
might have expected a clear
cut outline of the issues as they
have been drawn between the
Truman-SteVenson party on the
one hand and the opposition on
the other. the only thing that
is offered is an appeal to the
country not to be misled by
either the 'left" or the fright"
but to adopt a course which the
generals speech calls "the
middle way"
AS philosophical doctrine in
the field of political science, it
may have some merit, but, as
a piece of campaign strategy,
it is species of neutrality that.
spells colorlessness, compromise
and straddle.
For while, in the battle over
issues of the day, extremists of
the left" and the right" are
to be deplored, so are the ex-
tremiSts of the middle way"
often the unwilling sponsors of
confusion and delay.

to Become Big Allied Base
Allies Push Action to Block Any Possible Russian Thru
Into the Turkish Straits or Along Either Side
JohnC. Henry:

The NATO powers are draw
ing the net tighter against any
possible Russian thrust into the
Turkish straits or along either
side.
SHAPE announced a few days
ago that the new headquarters
for the Allied land forces,
Southeastern Europe. would be
located at Smyrna, in Asiatic
Turkey, and that eventually an
Allied tactical air force will
be located in the area. For the
time being the air planning and
command functions will be done
at forward base of the Allied
air forces, Southern Europe,
in Salonika, Greece.
Thus, while one of the vital
containment corridors of the
Middle East-Iran and the Per-
sian Cuffs lying in an in
creasingly exposed state, a Sec
ond one which is strategically
vital to the whole Mediterranean
littoral is being sealed more
tightly. Both are traditional
targets Of Russian aggressive
design, Czarist as well as Com
muniSt.
Control of the Turkish Straits
and the annexation of the Kars
and Ardahan districts of North
eastern Turkey were being
sought by imperial Russia be-
fore World War I. In fact.
during that conflict, Britain and
France did promise to the
Czarist government that the
Dardanelles. the city of Con-
stantinople and q strip of Tur-
keys Black Sea coast would be
ceded to Russia after the war.
The Communist revolution re-
moved any obligation from the
Western Allies, however, and a
few years of cordiality devel-
oped between postwar Turkey
and Russia. The future Of the

inherent powers" claim. it was
an extreme step. 1t was 100 per
cent wrong because it violated
the Constitution, and the people
who opposed the step proved it
was wrong. Either there is a
law to sanction such a policy,
or there isn't. There was no
middle way" in the seizure
issue.
When the Truman admins
tration decided to yield to its
fears of an enlarged war" in
Korea and declined to use maxi
mum power. the middle way"
meant procrastination and de-
lay. and only after year were
the American air forces given
permission to bomb vital bases
in North Korea, though, in the
interim period of compromise
and temporizing, the enemy
was able to achieve a big build
up of its planes and troops. That
was the middle way"
The issues before the Ameri-
can people which have a cleft"
and "right" cunnotation aren't
going to be settled by a third
course-a middle way" which
rejects them both. Often there
is a good deal of substance in
the position of those on the
right" or the cleft" respec-
lively. and to reject them both
and try a third way can mean
no solution at all. More often.
a fiat decision against the
right" is as desirable as on
other occasions is fiat decision
against the cleft"
It has long been the habit
of politicians to avoid COM
mitments of a positive nature
and to try to balance conflict
ing groups on the theory that
this is the way to get votes
from both sides. It is often called
carrying water on both
shoulders"

times succeeds in politics when
the electorate is unable to make
up its mind between opposing

Turkish Interpretation, could
only mean the occupation by
the Soviet army of the Dar-
danelles. Constantinople and,
obviously, the entire hinterland." I"
The Turks turned the whole
idea down.
Capture of the Nazi archives
after We day confirmed that
Moscow had been dickering
with Germany on the Straits
and Turkish territory as early
as 1910. A proposed pact to
define Axis and Soviet spheres
of influence contained in its
Russian draft request for the
KarS and Ardahan regions, for
Russian bases along the Straits
and for recognition of the
principle of the "area south of
Batum and Baku in the general
direction Of the Persian Gulf
-. as the center of aspirations
Of the Soviet Union"
There is no question that
the Soviet aspirations are un-
changed today. The Western
powers have not done well yet
at erecting any stalwart con-
tainment barrier down the Iran
corridor but in bringing Greece
and Turkey into the NATO
association they have posted a
strongly worded keep out" sign
to any Russian gestures toward
the Straits and the strategic
prizes which lie beyond.
