NIcosIA, Cyprus.-The political
ferment In this lovely island Of the
Leyant, with Cypriot against Briton
and Greek against Turk. has four
main ingredients which, IN the
proper admixture. could explode
and destroy the Vests security
system in the Middle East.
one Is the emotional. almost IA
natical. longing Of the Greek
speaking people Of Cyprus to re-
turn to Mother Greece" IS they
put it--and, Of course, taking their
island with them.
The second is the determination
Of strong wiIled leaders Of the Or
thodox. Church Of Cyprus 70 regain
the temporal powers which the
church held under the former Turk
ish regime and lost under British
rule.
Third Is Britain's seeming de-
termination TO hold Cyprus for NIL
itary reasons vital to British STRAIT
egy In the Middle East.
The fourth is what seems TO be
an equal determination on the part
Of the government OF Turkey not TO
allow Greece under any circuni-
stances to grab this island only 40
miles from Turkeys southern coast.
Opinion at British Middle East
Command headquarters here Is that
the conflicting desires Of Britain.
Greece and Turkey (which the re-
cent London conference failed to
reconcile) have already greatly re-
duced the effectiveness and value
of the Balkan Alliance Of Greece.
Turkey and Yugoslayia. The dis
pute, they feel, also threatens co.
operation among Britain. Greece
and Turkey In protecting the east
ern flank Of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Campaign for 'Enosis'
The Greek Cypriots' agitation for
en0sis. or union with Greece. dates
back well into the S00-year rule Of
the island by the Turks. long be-
fore the British acquired Cyprus IN
1878. It lowered when the British
colonizers made no effort to estab-
lish the English language In the
schools, but instead imported
teachers and school curricula from
Greece. and by default shunted
Cypriot youths to the University
Of Athens for higher education.
Racially, the Hellenic quality Of
the Greek Cypriots Is open to ques-
ton. True, they speak Greek, and
their church Is q member Of the
Orthodox rite. preceding the
churches OF Greece and Russia in
seniority. But never in their 5000
year history on Cyprus have they
owed allegiance to the ancient
city-state Of Athens or to the
modern nation of Greece which they
now call mother.
The original Greek Cypriots came
from the Greek city-states Of Asia
Minor, but this era Of Mycenaean
colonization lasted only about 500
years. BY 500 BIC. the Phoenicians
began to penetrate the island. Then
followed Assyrians. Egyptians. Per-

The Indonesians are using O
system Of proportional representa-
ton, 60 the exact makeup Of the
new parliament win not be known
for days after the ballot. Then,
too. there are three areas Of In

group. the Darul Islam. has caused
so many disturbances that ballot
ing win not be attempted at this
time.
Reason for Hope
The vote, however. should reflect
the thinking Of the Indonesians.
This ID the reason that the West
can hope for the best.
Although Western diplomats de-
cline TO make any statement on
the electicns-it could be criticized
as interference In Indonesia's do
mestic affairs--the West clearly
would not be unhappy n the Mos
lem Masjumi emerged as the DOM
inant group.
Even during the brief period that
Masjumi Premier Harahap has been
In power, relations between Indo-
nesia and the West have shown
signs Of improving. Last week. for
instance, the United States and In
donesia signed an agreement Tor
the distribution there Of American
books. magazines and motion pic
lures.
The agreement has some COM
plex financial arrangements, but
the net effect Ii for the United
States Government to substitute the
distribution Of the American prod
ucts in Indonesia. The United
States, Of course. will do 20 only
for items that should further
Americas foreign policy. In other
words. the agreement helps Amer
ica's propaganda effect. The old
government Of Ali Sastroamidjojo
often hamstrung the United States
propaganda in Indonesia.
Some officials Of the new Mas
jumi government also have been
talking about increasing trade with
the West and even of letting West
ern capital into Indonesia- -some-
thing that the previous government
abhorred.
This Is the kind Of talk which the
United States likes to hear as II
struggles TO turn back Communism
In Southeast Asia and weld the free
Asian countries into o cohesive eco
noniic and political bloc.
We may hear more Of 1t II the
Masjumi and their political con-
federates win In Indonesia this
week. We may hear less II the Ma
tionalists win. And we will hear
almost none at all II the well-heeled
Communists get too many voters
to punch their ballots at the sign
Of the hammer and sickle.
