Miscaiculating an enemy's
intentions can be more dis
astrous for a nation than mis-
calculating his strength.
In the years before Pearl
Harbor, our intelligence was
concentrated on finding out
Japan's strength rather than
her designs. We lacked ade-
quate political intelligence, and
we paid dearly for the mistake.
The findings q few bright
and enterprising diplomats
communicated to Washington
about the Tokyo warlords we're
brushed aside. Oficials de-
scribed the warnings as mid

worthy to be passed on to mill

that to pay attention to these
appraisals might foster q war;

The so-calIed spirit Of
Geneva" is dead. The Russians
have killed it. The big news
is at last coming out--that.
despite polite phrases of re-
straint with which Western
government officials have been
expressing themselves, they
now realize that the Soviet
tactics at Geneva constituted
a bold attempt to make it
appear that the Communists
were peacefully inclined. The
evidence now shows that since
the Geneva Conference the
Communists have stepped up
the cold war
The latest development is
the Communist controlled elec-
ton in Indonesia which Is
demonstrating the Communist
pattern--the local infiltration
by the Communist technicians,
A similar pattern will be re-
vealed If 1ndo- China holds an
election.
Throughout Asia and North
Africa. moreover. the Commu-
nists' have redoubled their ef-
forts. They have inflltrated
into Morocco to make that is
sue a perplexing one for the
French government to handle.
Likewise. in Algeria the
French have been UP against
Communist interference In a
local problem. On the broader
stage, the Communists have
mustered a majority in the
United Nations not only to
discuss the Algerian problem
but to get the subject of West
ern New Guinea--a colonial
possession of the Netherlands
-on the agenda. The objective
Is to mix into the strategic
situation in Southeast Asia.
For, by depriving the Dutch
navy Of a base in Western New
Guinea, the whole Of Southeast
Asia Is easier for the Cornmu-
nists to overrun.
The Communist activity in
selling arms to Egypt and in
lining up a number Of the
Asian and African nations
which attended the Bandung
Conference is significant of
the new policy of fomenting
trouble between the Western
powers and the Middle Eastern
countries. The whole purpose
is to weaken the military line
up Of the West.

clusively within Frances do
mestic jurisdiction. They were
relieved to note that United
States Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge made that point in an
Assembly discussion.
But as they scanned the roll
call by which the Assembly
fiouted such counsel, they be-
gan TO wonder whether the
United States delegate had
really done his homework. Six
Latin American nations voted
with the Soviet Union and its
satellites, the Arab states and
a number of Asian nations in-
Guiding the Philippines. Most
OF the six Latin-American gov
ernments have close and
friendly ties with the United
States. Nationalist China, Ice
land and Paraguay were among
the five nations which ab-
stained from voting.

The Khrushchev statement
is significant not only because
Of the interesting reference TO
shrimps but also because the
Red leader left out the name
Of Stain in his mention of
the apostles of communism.
Until recently he was consid-
cred the most important figure.

that the dangers Of another

1t should be pointed out that
neither the USSR nor Commu-
mist China has made a single
gesture to remove the present
frictions. They have asked and
obtained diplomatic conces-
sions from the West by offer
ing to barter the European,
American and japanese host
ages they have kept in their

CAIRO, Oct. 5.-The Soviet
Union has renewed a secret offer
to King Saud of Saudi Arabia
to furnish his ill-equipped army
with modern weapons, including
heavy ornaments. according to
reliable sources in Cairo.
The offer to arm the oil-rich
Arab kingdom with Communist
bloc arms is similar to the com

cluded among Egypt, Russia and
Czechoslovakia. Egypt is to pay
for the Communist guns, tanks
and MIGHT jet fighters with
hard-to-sell Egyptian cotton and
rice.
Saudi Arabia will pay the
Soviet Union in dollars, earned
from shares In profits of the

ating along the Persian Gulf.

visit to the Shah of Iran. The

arch to deliver him a verbal mes
