Middle East Views

We are now confronted with
q situation where the cham
pion of Egypt, Soviet Russia,
is demanding that Britain,
France and Israel pay indem-
nifty to Egypt. In addition to
which, the Soviet rulers have
practically told the whole
world that they can take over
all Of Europe without missiles
or rockets. Under no circum-
stances, legally or morally,
does Egypt have any right to
indemnity This kind Of diplo-
matte shenanigans should put
Col. Nasser on notice that
sooner or later Egypt will be-
come a Soviet satellite with all
the horrors and terrors which
such status carries.
And here it is quite pertinent
to remind Dorothy Thompson,
who blames little Israel for the
penetration Of Russia into the
Middle East. that she flies into
the face of history, because
any high school boy can tell
her that the keystone Of the
Russian foreign policy in the
days Of the Cars, and at pres
ent under the Communists. is
to get a foothold in the Mid
die East. and that it will use
any pretext to accomplish
this.
Throughout these troubled
years. Israel has not only
sought but offered peace to
her Arabian neighbors, freely
arrived at by direct negotia-
tons at q conference table. All
Of these offers have been con-
dstently rejected by the Ara
bian states; and the charges
and distorted facts which Miss
Thompson and her cohorts in
the American Friends Of the
Middle East have spread In
this country have not helped
this situation.
