Premier Nosser Hates Communism,
But Fears u. S. Is EncircIing Him

CAIRo-American relations
with Egypt are definitely
sticky as Of now. The sus-
picions that once attached to
the British are directed at us.
Prime Minister Nasser hates
communism but he fears that
the United States is encircling
him. He feels strangely unap-
preciated by Americans who
were expected to admire his
deposing Of King Farouk. his
new DEAL" his successful
struggle for independence.
The oddity is that the Eisen-
hover administration has def
nitely shifted the emphasis Of
its Middle East policy from
Israel to stability for the whole
area. In doing so, however, it
has cracked the Arab League.
and Nasser, with his admitted
phobia against big power DOM
ination, is crying foul.
United States policy now
says that while Israel is here
to stay, the oil rich Arab
states must be brought into
some kind of Western security
system, perhaps at arms
length. but certain. Turkey
and Pakistan led the break
from the Moslem world to the
West. But Iraq's new alliance
with Greece and Turkey was
the heart thrust at Arab soli-
darity and Arab isolationism.
This, more than Israel, ails
Nasser, American sources be-
neve. OF course. we are not

forgiven for Israel. A pro-
Israel motive is always looked
for in our actions.
In the new situation drama
tized by Iraq, Egypt's only
swift and vocal allies were
Saudi Arabia and Yemen, who
foresaw their ancient tribal
foes Of the northern tier be-
ing strengthened to their
detriment. Nasser is grateful
to them. But he is a thorough
convert to the social and
economic progress ideas Of the
West: he hopes with them to
remake Egypt into a leader
and beacon light for his part
Of the world. It is not done
by having as principal allies
the two most-backward Arab
areas. even though King Saud
is rich in oil revenues.
Nasser's other foreign policy
problem is the Sudan, which
controls the headwaters of the
Nile and so is literally vital to
Egypt. Specifically, Egypt
wants to build high dam on
the Nile to take care of it's
growing population. A IVA
style project. the high dam
would add 80 per cent to her
arabic acreage, increase its
yields and furnish cheap power
for industrialization.
Sudan is emerging from
British control and will vote
next year whether to affiliate
with Egypt or be independent.

cause his own safety requires
that violence shall be re-
strained. At the basis Of every
community lies the idea Of
organization to preserve the
peace. Without that idea
really active and controlling
there. can be no community of
individuals or of nations. It
is the gradual growth and SUBJ
stitution of this idea Of COM
munity interest In preventing
and furnishing breaches Of the
peace which has done away
with private war among civil
lied peoples.
"The Monroe Doctrine as
serted a specific interest on
the part Of the United States
in preventing certain breaches
Of the peace on the American
continent; and when Presi.
dent Wilson suggested an en-
largement of the Monroe Doc
trine to take in the whole
world, his proposal carried by
necessary implications the
change of doctrine which I am
discussing. The change may
seem so natural as to be un-
important, but it is really
crucial, for the old doctrine
is asserted and the broader
doctrine is denied by approxi-
mately half the military powers
of the world, and the question
between the two is one Of the
things about which the war is
being fought. The change in
wolves a limitation of sover-
eighty making every sover-
eign state subject to the SUI
perior right Of a community
of sovereign states to have the
peace preserved. The accept
ance of any such principle
would be fatal to the whole
Prussian theory of the state
and Of government.
When you have got this
principle accepted openly, ex-
pressly, distinctly, unequivo-
cally by the whole civilized
world, you will for the first
time have q community Of ma
tions, and the practical re-
suits which win naturally de-
velop will be as different from
those which have come from
the old view Of national re-
sponsibility as are the results
which fiow from the American
Declaration of Independence
compared with the results
which flow from the divine
right Of kings"

THOMAS L. STOKES
He Must Move Confidently Toward
Another Nomination or Bow Out

CHICAGO-A man who is
no longer a Governor, in fact
holds no public office, and is
not a participant in the an
nual Governors conference
here is nevertheless the center
Of attention and curiosity Of
those attending this meeting
Of State Chief Executives.
Adlai Stevenson, former
Governor Of Illinois, interests
both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. They want to know
whether he is likely to be re-
nominated as the Democratic
candidate for President next
year, or whether certain pres
sures now discernible will re-
suit in replacing him.
You get the impression that
the 1852 Democratic candidate
is at this very time, a year be-
fore the 1855 nominating con-
ventions, at the critical point
where he might either move
confidently toward another
nomination, or gradually slip
out Of the picture.
This seems to be, in short,
a time of decision and action.
In that he will have his part,
but so will many others.
Important among the latter
are Democratic State Cover
nors. This is because of their
control Of State organizations.
Today, Democrats hold the
Governorships in 27 States:
Republicans in 81. No one who
watched the political story
acted out in 1952--and Adlai
Stevenson was among those
can ever forget how it was the
Republican Governors who
really tipped the balance to-
ward Gen. Eisenhower and
against the late Senator Robert
A. Taft for the Republican
nomination.

lish a cotton mill in Anatolia.
The project provided that the
mill be purchased in Japan and
moved to Turkey where the
Republic Chemical was to in
stall it and get it into working
condition.
This plan would have en-
abled the Turks to produce
their own cotton goods instead
of buying them in England
and Italy. It would have saved
them a substantial amount Of
foreign currency. All the
United States Government had
to do was give the American
corporation the usual loan
guaranty certificate" The
corporation applied through
the usual channels.
The State Department,
Treasury and international
Cooperation Administration
(the new name for the old
FOA) got together to discuss
this momentous guaranty in
volving less than So million.
The State Department was
noncommittal and cautious.
William F. Russell, deputy
director of technical services
for the ICA, was favorable and
said he believed the plan was
eligible for guaranty protec.

representative. Undersecretary
w. Randolph Burgess. who
took the position that since
Turkey, because Of the scarcity
Of foreign exchange, could not
afford to import cotton textiles
she could scarcely afford to
import a mill for their pro.
duction. That stand is a classic.
The wisdom Of our Treasury
officials is unquestioned on
finances, but their political
wisdom leaves considerable
room for doubt.
The feeling among our peri
pheric allies that America may
now be in q mood to shake
them on has been strength

Houston, Tex. on the eve OF
the Republican National Con-
vention. "a Republican Cover
nors adopted q resolution for
support of Gen. Eisenhower
which was engineered by Her.
bert Brownell. That spoke with
authority to the delegates for
they knew that it came close
to representing the sentiment
at the grass roots.
No one expects any such
resolution from Democratic
Governors. of course, from this
conference.
But there was feeling out
on both sides-between Adlai
Stevenson and the Democratic
Governors-and among the
Governors themselves.
He set aside his law business
for the time being here in Chi
cago, to which he commutes
from his home at Libertyville,
and made himself available to
Democratic Governors when
overtures came from them to
see him.
One he had taken pains to
invite several days before the
conference began, and for a
private dinner. This was Gov.
Hartman of New York.
Gov. Hartman has come to

for the nomination himself.

but on just what terms 1t is
not yet clear. nor is it possible
to foresee whether there might
be an eventual break and an
open clash between\ the two.
This might depend on the
activity Of Carmine DeSapio,
the astute leader Of Tammany
Hall, the man who managed
Averell Hartman into the
Governors chair at Albany.
When he came here for his

tural, have had a telling effect
on Turkeys financial stability.
To these burdens were added
two disastrous years of
drought.
The Turkish government
appealed to the American
Government, which had never
in the past denied much to its
allies in Western Europe. But
there seems to have been a
change Of heart in Washing
ton in regard to the peripheric
allies. There Is an atmosphere
that the honeymoon with Tur-
key Is about over and that the
Ankara government had bet
ter realize this and exercise
some stringent economies as
suggested by the Washington
financial experts, even If this
means some curtailment Of
Turkeys military establish
ment.
Ankara finds 1t difficult to
eet obligations in foreign
currencies contracted with our
tacit approval in the sterling
bloc and in Germany and
Switzerland. Early this year 1t
asked Washington for q $780,
million interest-bearing loan to
be repaid over 20 or Is years.
1t was turned down not because
we could not afford that sum
or because Turkey was a bad
credit risk but as q lesson to
Turkey to handle its finances
better. Instead. the Govern
ment offered the government

ocratic leaders here, there

Restiveness among Demo-
cratic State leaders about
1856, which Is accentuated by
fears that no Democrat could
beat President Eisenhower, be-
came apparent in their private
conversations here and in their
sessions with the 1852 candi-
date and titular party leader.
The uncertainty was re-
fiected in what one Of them,
an early arrival, Gov. Abraham
A. Ribicoff Of Connecticut, said
publicly at a news conference
that Adlai Stevenson can't
be drafted" another time but
must come out and seek the
nomination; that there is, OF
the moment, a political vac
uum in the party, with leader
ship lacking; that 1t might be
difficult for any Democrat to
beat President Eisenhower in
Connecticut; that there are so
far very few issues against the
President. and that Averell
Hartman is definitely a can
didate for the nomination.
Another bothersome factor.
a psychological hazard. that
frets Democrats is the fact
that Adlai Stevenson was once
defeated. They were reminded
Of this bluntly by a Repub-
lican, Gov. Goodwin j. Knight
Of California. He said he
thought Gov. Hartman would
run better than Adlai Steven
son in California because the
New York Governor had not
been defeated for national Of
fee.

The Turks are particularly

There's a tendency nova

Such superficial and obvi-

to Col. House. the personal
envoy and confldant Of the
then President Woodrow Will

national lawyer, had been
Secretary of War in President
McKinley's cabinet. Secretary
of State in the cabinet of
President Theodore Roosevelt
and later a United States SEN
ator from New York. He had
much to do with the move
ment that led to the formation
Of the League of Nations. He
was 'Mr. Republican" then.
What Mr.. Root wrote in

Perhaps NaSser's trouble Is
that life to him is too real, too

broader view in his letter,
which reads as follows:
1.-The first requisite for any
durable concert of peaceable
nations to prevent war is a
fundamental change in the
principle to be applied to in
ternational breaches of the
peace.
"The view now assumed and
generally applied is that the
use Of force by one nation to-
ward another is a matter in
which only the two nations
concerned are primarily inter-
ested, and if any other nation
claims a right to be heard on
the subject it must show some
specific interest of its own in
the controversy. That burden
Of proof rests upon any other
nation which seeks to take
part If it will relieve itself of
the charge of impertinent in
reference and avoid the re-
sentiment which always meets
impertinent interference in
the affairs of an independent
sovereign state. This view
was illustrated by Germany in
July. 1914, when she insisted
that the invasion of Serbia by
Austria Hungary was a mat
ter which solely concerned two
states. and upon substantially
that ground refused to agree
to the conference proposed by
Sir Edward Grey. The requi-
site change is an abandonment
of this view and a universal,
formal and irrevocable accept
ance of the view that an inter-
national breach of the peace Is
a matter which concerns every
nation Of the community Of
nations-a matter in which
every nation has a direct in
terest and to which every ma
ton has a right to object.
"These two views correspond
to the two kinds of responsible

criminal responsibility. II I
