quently asked In Washington
these days.
From the White House down,
there is more than anxiety
over the developments in the
Middle East, which in some
quarters are described merely
as serious" while in others
they are called ''highly explo-
sive."
There is more In this anxiety
than whether the Arabs and
the Israelis will soon be at
each others threats. What
worries Washington and Lon
don most is whether the Rus

the Republican campaign in
1852. will actually succeed in
rolling us back out of the
most important strategic area
in the world.
The Middle East, where we
are now hanging on by only
a thin thread, is vital to us
not only because Of the air
bases but because of the vast
oil resources the Reds are
endeavoring to deny to the
Anglo-American powers.
Europe purchases some 90
per cent Of its oil and gasoline
from the Middle East and from
countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. We; too, need oil from
Saudi Arabia. Iraq and Iran,
especially for our vast air,
land and naval forces in Ger
many and the Mediterranean.
But we can do without them
in a pinch. Europe cannot.
The Russians may be inter-
ested in unleashing a local war
in the Middle East to further
embarraSs the American and
British governments. They are
definitely interested in break
ing the traditional ties between
the two English-speaking ma
lions and the Arabs. The
political repercussions Of the
Anglo-American stand in the
Israeli-Arab conflict are all
ready being strongly felt. When
Egypt's Prime Minister Mas
ser stated recently that the
Arabs are not interested in the
Soviet-West conflict but only
in their national aspirations
and that the Middle East
people will not be moved by
any theology but only by their
national interests he actually
served notice that he and his
colleagues are willing to ac-
cept the proffered Red hand.
The Soviets need not take
any military action to roll us
back from the Middle East.
They can handle the situation
in the same manner as they
handled it in Iran during the
regime Of Premier Mossadegh
when the Anglo Iranian oil
company was nationalized by
the then Teheran government.
We were then able to inter-
vene and after Mossadegh's
downfall and the restoration
of the Shah to the throne

Cyprus Is an integral part
Of Great Britain. There Is
no more reason for the United
States to interfere in the in
ternal affairs Of Great Britain
than there would be for the
British to interpose any objec-
lions to what is being done
by this country in its policies
toward the islands Of Puerto
Rico or Hawaii.
Yet 10 United States Sena-
tors-l2 Democrats and 6 Re-
publicans-haye intruded in
the most delicate kind of a
matter Of foreign policy in the
Mediterranean, which is diff
cult enough for the State De-
partment to deal with any
how. Now the British govern
ment and the British people
are rightly indignant over such
unwarranted interposition.
Not so long ago some OF
these same Senators were de-
nouncing a Wisconsin Senator
because he tried to persuade
some Greek shipowners to
stop smuggling strategic goods
to the Communists, and it
was argued then that he was
encroaching on the executive

however, goes further than
anything Senator Mccarthy
ever did and endangers as well
the good relations between
America and Britain.
The proposed resolution in
the Senate asks the United
States Government to say to
the British government that it
must give up its territory of
Cyprus. The argument is that
"four-fifths of the people of
Cyprus are Greeks by Ian
guage, culture, church. tradi-
ton and affection"

FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover has proposed. in the
FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin
that legal and financial pen
alties be established for de-
linquent parents who permit
their children to run wild.
We think that Mr.. Hoover
has something in this sugges-
ton. But we are doubtful
whether a really delinquent
child would care a boot for
the suffering Of his parents,
or whether, in itself. punish

ships that contribute to juve-
nile delinquency.
Delinquency usually starts
either from lack of authority
in the home or from parental
authority so arbitrary and un-
reasonable that the children
rebel. II authority is entirely
lacking and the children al
lowed to do anything they
please, they grow up without
even a sense Of law, despise
their parents as weaker than
themselves, and adopt the
same attitude toward society.
II, on the other hand, they
are perpetually nagged, pun
ished. and made miserable,
they adopt an attitude of de-
f1ance that is then, also, trans
ferred to society.
The one group of juvenile
delinquents has no sense of
authority; the other hates and
despises it; and although their
social behavior may be similar.
the cause is different and re-
quires q different cure.
"Strict" parents are often
less concerned with the real
moral standards of their chill
dren than with their own COM
fort and convenience. They
will blow a child up and hui
initiate him, often in front of
his contemporaries. for in
advertently breaking a more
or less valuable object, tearing
his clothes. or being uncom-
fortably noisy-behaviors per-
fectly normal to children.
Such youngsters are actually
being prosecuted for being
children. Often they develop
sly traits and become accom-
plished liars. Or they fear their
parents, believe they are not
lovedl and, feeling themselves
rejected, take out their frus-
trations on society.
