The Arab world has lately
become the center Of affec-
tom Of the M6scovites, who
are taking advantage of the
blunders Of the Western pow
ers and expect to ensnare the
Arabs from Morocco to the
borders Of Iran. The bait Of
fered and swallowed by them
Is 1ationalisrn. The Russians
have succeeded in represent
ing themselves to the guilt
Bile masses as their cham
pions. The Arab leaders who
know better feel strongly that
since the Western powers
have turned q deaf ear to
their demands for complete
liberation from colonialism,
they had better accept the
Red carrot.

and the Rhine would under
the best circumstances be
capable Of only a delaying ac-

onslaught must come princi-
pally from the air bases

coast Of North Africa to the
Persian Gulf. Their exist

seem determined now to re-
move that potential threat
and are taking advantage Of
the mistakes Of the West to
gain to their side the govern
ments which control these
strategically important terri
tories.

Most people prefer the new

which the present is one, when
American officials think the
United States is afflicted with
rather more than its share.
This country has Just been
trapped again in three of the
colonial disputes which con-
sumo so much U. N. time and
effort. It has pursued a diff
ferent course in each one. The
result is that it is under fire
at home for confusion, inde-
cision and lack Of policy.
Abroad it has gained only an
extremely mixed bag of friends
mot the same ones on each
issueand a general feeling
that it has failed to lead and
has not really helped anybody
