Democratic leaders think he
would be a natural to run against
Senator Potter, Republican OF
Michigan, two years hence.
Payne Of Maine Retiring
Senator Payne, Republican of
Maine, already has announced he
is retiring in 1858. Democrats
are hoping Gov. Edmund S.
Muskie will make a try for this
seat.
In Pennsylvania, where the
Democrats won a Senate seat this

chance to capture the second
one in 1858. He cannot succeed
himself as Governor. Senator
Edward Martin, Republican of
Pennsylvania, whose term ends
in two years, has said he will not
run again.

Republicans condede that they

they recalled that the last time

their party won enough races to
take Senate control. This was in
the first Eisenhower triumph.
Democratic Margin Kept
In this years voting. the DEM

could be overturned by one death.
Democrats here are looking
forward to help from popular
Governors of their party in the
1858 election, although they say
they do not have any firm word
about intentions of any Of these
men to run for the Senate.
However, they expect Gov.
Ernest Mcfarland Of Arizona,
former Senate Democratic leader,
to try to take back the seat he
lost to Senator Goldwater, Re-
publican of Arizona, in the first
Eisenhower landslide. Senator
Mcfarland won a second term as

ton" of the armistice on which
the Arabs had insisted. It is
possible that this impartial de-
cision may show the Arab
leaders where the interests of
their people lie. Outstanding
among these is Egyptian Pre-
mier Nasser, who is rapidly
becoming the standard bearer
of the Arab world.
At the same time, the West
is indicating to the Israelis
that they cannot hope to con-
solidate their new country with
a warlike policy. They are be-
ing advised to adopt a more
genuinely conciliatory policy
for the sake of all free nations.
There are rights and wrongs
on both sides, but none that
can't be settled.
The Israeli leaders must
know by now that their bitter
enemy is the USSR, where
anti-Semitism is perennial. AS
a matter of fact, the Soviet
regime has been prosecuting
Jews in recent years to an
even greater extent than the
Czarist regime.

Officials Confident of Agreement
To Save Middle East From Reds
CONSTANTINE BROWN

State Department and For
eign Office officials have been
working in Washington for
two weeks laying the ground
work for the talks between
President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Eden. They
are confident that America
and Britain will agree on a
plan to save the Middle East
from the clutches Of the Red
bear.
Leaders Of the Arab states
already know that the two
Western powers can deliver
more promptly whatever eco
nomic and financial aid they
need for development of their
countries. And the Arab
leaders are being shown with
facts and figures that the
economy Of the satellites, such
as Poland, Czechslovakia and
Hung ary. has deteriorated
rather than improved since
their policies have been di-
rected by the USSR.
American and British diplo-
mats in the Arab countries
draw a parallel between the
miraculous recovery of West
Germany which was assisted
by the United States and the
relative stagnation in East
Germany which is under Red
control. And it is emphasized
that West Germany suffered
greater devastation than the
east portion.
The heads Of the Arab
countries are also reminded Of
the great economic recovery Of
all Americas allies, Britain,
France, Italy and so on. At
the same time the USSR itself
still lags behind despite its
enormous natural resources
and labor force which must
work as long hours as the gov
eminent prescribes at what
ever pay 1t fixes.
II the Arab leaders from
Egypt to Syria are really anx-
ious to raise the standards of
their respective countries
there is little doubt that they
will accept the proffered hand
Of the American and British
governments in preference to
that Of the Reds.
OF course it must be borne
in mind that the main reason
why the Arab governments
recently have accepted the
flirtations of Moscow and
Peiping is political rather than
economic. The people in Jor-
dan, Egypt. Saudi Arabia
and Syria feel that the West
ern powers. and especially the
English-speaking ones, are
dedicated to the policies of
Israel and would not mind
that republic expanding at
the expense of its Arab neigh
bors. This feeling is particular
ly strong in Jordan where
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-23

many thousands of Palestin-
ians (Arabs from the present
Israeli have settled. Many are
physicians and lawyers and
are doing well. But they long
to go back to their birthplace
whence, they bitterly claim,
they were expelled by Jews who
came from all parts of Europe.
American policies to help
preserve Israel and the definite
superiority of Israeli arma-
ments over those of neighbour
ing countries were the main
reasons why Egypt and Syria
accepted the Soviet offer of
military equipment and tech
nical experts. Moscow was
quick to take advantage of the
Arab state of mind and inject
itself powerfully into Near
Eastern affairs.
The United Nations Secu-
.rity Councils vote unanimously
condemning Israel for the De-
cember raid in which Sc Syrian
troops were killed may be an
eye-opener for the Arabs that
the Western powers mean to
be fair. The Councils decision

sponsored resolution contain

II he delegates most of his

But is it in substance so
very different from the policy
which Sir Winston Churchill
was urging on the Chamberlain
government in l938-except
that Mr.. Dulles has a real
sabre to rattle whereas Cham
berlain's scabbard was empty?
"Since the Summit conference
at Geneva. it has been fashion
able to talk about war having
been outlawed by common
consent. This gives q pro-
foundry misleading impression.
What happened at Geneva was
that both sides understood
each other to have renowned
ambitions which might lead to
war. From renewed Russian
toughness it is possible that
Moscow is confusing these two
impressions.
mo doubt China, whose con-
duct in recent months has
been noticeably mild, needs
little encouragement to follow
suit. That Is why the hysteri-
cal outburst against Mr..

doubly dangerous.
If 1t were to confirm Rus
