feeds on Arab fear Of Israel's
more dynamic and able European
settlers, with their economic
knowhow. Israelis say their
economy in peace could be a true
boon to the Arabs.
No Arab leader dares to stand
up and say he would come to
terms which would assure the
indefinite existence of Israel as a
state.
Even Col. Nasser might not be
strong enough to say he'd like
to live in peace with Israel. His
own radio has sown violent
propaganda throughout the en-
tire Arab world, from Morocco
to Iraq. which would initiate
against Egypt getting of the
limb.
Thus Arab leaders might we'll
be caught in their own trap so
far as peace is concerned.
If a climate could be created
for getting together at a table it
is possible. even likely. that
Israel and the Arabs could reach
some formula at least to keep
from destroying one another.
But in the present climate, the
outlook continues dismal and
the Western world, cycling the
all-important Middle East oil,
keeps its fingers crossed.

But Israelis feel today that the
only Arab leader whose word and

New Danger Signal to West

many would insist on absolute
independence in conducting its
foreign policy, and appeared
designed to assure the Rus
slams that such policy would
be guaranteed in advance not
to be hostile to the SovietS.
This column has in the past
pointed out the grave dangers
that would exist for the free
world in any German-R Russian
accord which would bar Ger
man association with the West.
If Germany were either eff
fectively neutralized. or enticed
into the Red camp. central
Europe would be a Communist
province. The effects of such
a development on the remain
ing free nations would be
disastrous.
Since the Kremlin is we'll
aware of these facts, it is
not inconceivable, despite the
brusque attitude of Mr..
Gromyko, that the Soviet
Union may use the Bonn offer
as a basis for discussion to try
to split West Germany from
the NATO defenses and from
the West in return for some
probably spurious unity. 1t
easily can happen.

Nusser Should Visit Ell AIomein

Egypt. But the situation today
is much the same. Unless the
Suez Canal is protected from
falling into the hands Of the
Soviet Union and her allies,
the Western allies are in dam
ger of losing control of the
Mediterranean in the event of
war.
Mr.. Nasser has shown a will
ingness to play ball with the
Communists. This means that
he is ready to risk a fight with
the Western allies in order tc
have the Suez within his COM
plete control. The people of
Egypt have been protected by
the British for many decades.
Originally in World War I
there was a danger that Tur-
key. then allied with Germany,
might seize Egypt.
Throughout modern times
the British and French have
fought on the side of Egypt.
The sacrifices made have given
Egypt her chance. The net
result has been ingratitude and
a turning toward the enemies
of the free world--the Com
munists.
One wonders why many
Americans are so ready to de-
nounce Britain and France for
their "colonialism" when so
much blood has been shed to
give the smaller countries the
autonomy they have been
granted by the British and
French over a period of years.
Evidently the sacrifices have
been forgotten at Cairo. May
be Mr.. Nasser ought to pay
a visit to the battleflelds Of
FL Alamein, where the white
crosses tell the story of what
the British and French did to
win freedom for the Egyptians
and to assure safe passage of
their ships through the Suez
Canal.

der the supervision of the
United Nations or an interna-

Under existing circum-

The Federal Republic of

Moscow to relax its adamant
stand on the identification

regime has proposed that if
the Communists will agree to

the creation of a demilitarized

emily pointed to the dangers
of a resurgent German mill
tarism as one of the major
reasons why they have so far
refused to agree to any reuni-
fication plan. West and East
Germany are both recognized
as sovereign nations by the
Kremlin, and developments of
the past few years have in
dicated that Moscow views
the division of Germany as
permanent, at least for the
foreseeable future.
OF course the Soviet plotters
have long admitted the fact
that German Identification is,
in theory, desirable. They have
agreed to discuss it at interna-
tional meetings, only to stymie
any progress at these confer
ences by insisting that a pre-
condition to unity must be the
withdrawal of West Germany
from military association in
the defense system of the West.
And as a further condition, the
Reds insist that identification
be worked out between the
governments Of West and East
Germany by negotiation. and
prior to any elections.
The Communists know full
well that any German elections
in East Germany would throw

Then in Mach, 1941, Gen.

in April the famous siege of
Tobruk occurred. Gen. Rom
mel figured that, if he could

Gen. Rommel was on the

Egypt as a glittering prize.
Gen. Montgomery stood firm
