IAPERIALISTS TOO
Don't Place Hopes
On Russia S Soldiers

Various responsible American
political leaders have expressed
the view that the exercise of SUI
preme political power in the So
Wet Union by the military would
result in more peaceful and
tractable Soviet foreign policy.
1t is believed by those who hold
such views that the military lead
ers of the Soviet Union are men
OF little political sophistication,
that they are used to dealing with
realities and on practical basis
rather than with Marxist abstrac-
tons; that-as good soldiers
they are first and last Russian
patriots concerned with the ma
tional interest, not with world
revolution; that they have
tasted" the free world ways of
life. having become familiar with
the Vests thought and ideals
during their assignments abroad,
and are therefore less .patho-
logically suspicious Of the free
worlds intentions and policies.
Although there probably is
some truth in all these views,
over-optimism would be dangerous
leading to self-deception, miscon-
ceptions and miscalculations.

Of the late-summer harvest break
in food and vegetable prices, might
show its first decline in year.
Fruit and vegetable prices did
drop as expected, but the price of
other foods and other market bas-
ket items rose sufficiently to bring
the overall price index to new
high. its 18th consecutive rise.
The August index rose two
tenths of per cent, bringing it
to 121. compared to 100 Of the
l947-49 base period. Standing at
3.6 per cent higher than a year
earlier, 1t meant that a typical
family paid about three and one

services that cost it 81 In August,

his words are listened to with re-

Prince Faisals mission in Wash

primarily that Of bringing about
a softened United States attitude
toward the Syrian regime. What
the Crown Prince accomplished on
that score is impossible to meas
ure. But State Department off,
cials do not hide their belief that
if King Saud is effective in Da-
maScus in urging restraint on the
present military leadership. there
will be a strong disposition in the
United States to cooperate. at
least to the extent that Soviet in
volvement is minlmized.
That the Soviet Union is already
firmly entrenched in the Middle
East is conceded. Arab national

source and distruStful of the West
from whence came the colonialism
Of the past, cannot be persuaded
to reject offers OF Moscow's sup
port. And every shipment of
arms, every covey Of Soviet tech
nicians arriving in the troubled
area adds to the Soviet foothold.
But. in the Vests view, political
stability among the Arab states
would weaken significantly the
Soviet bid for a dominant role in
the Middle East. That bid has
been gaining primarily through
the shrewd exploitation of Arab
nationalist aspirations pitted
against Western resistance. With
an emerging Arab unity encour-
aged by the nations of the free
world. the open season for Com
munist intrigue will have been
considerably reduced.

DR.. Wilson H. Elkins. president
Of Maryland University, has pre-
dicted that the university's en-
rollment will double TO 10000
by 1866.
Officials at American and
George Washington expect a SIM
liar increase, bringing them to
1890 and $4,000 respectively. by
1870. At Howard. enrollments are
expected to hit 5000 to $500 this

Georgetown. which has 5000
students this fall. is anticipating
an additional 20 per cent by 1870.
This desire TO accommodate
higher enrollments is nothing
new. A review of past perform
ances shows that the universities
have done extraordinarily well.
Since 195l--the first year OF
normal" college enrollments since
the early 1940's-the six institu-
tons have spent about S43.3 mil
lion for building.
Howard and Maryland led in
construction. Howard spent STA

them we're a dentistry school for
SO million. an engineering and
architecture school for $2,250.000
and an administration build
ing for SIG million. Maryland
spent $l6.5 million on a total of
AZ projects.
George Washington spent So

Georgetown $3,450. 900. Catholic

As for teachers. universities say

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.-The
18th session of the United Nations
General Assembly promises q con-
tinuance of the verbal clashes
between the .Asian-African bloc
and the Western powers. Some
observers here see the distinct
danger that the rift between the
West and the emerging nations
of Asia and Africa will be deep
ened and broadened to the adj
vantage of no one but the Com
munists.
The growing relative strength
Of the Asian and African nations
is one of the most significant U. N.
developments Of the past II years.
From 10 nations, comprising less
than one-fourth of the U. N. MEM
bership. the bloc has grown to
its present strength of % members.
or more than one-third Of the
total. Moreover, the continuing
power struggle between the free
and Communist camps has had
the effect of adding to the strength
of these so-called neutralS, whose
support is sought by both sides.
The Asian-African forces re-
ceived a dramatic push at the
Banding Indonesia) conference
Of 1855, at which 20 nations. repre-
senting one-half the worlds popu-
lation, developed a united stand
against colonialisrn and lined up
together on other issues as well.
The bloc's existence as q cohesive
force has been encouraged by the
fact that on such matters as the
Suez Canal. Algeria and the
Palestine question the West has
come into direct conflict with the
resurgent nationalism Of the
Asian-African peoples.
Three CoteeOries
The General Assembly's agenda
includes three types Of problems
involving the bloc:
Q Problems which find the
Asian-Africans ranged against
one of the two great power blocs.
Practically all Of these involve
the bloc VS.. the West.
o Problems within the bloc
Kashmir, for example.
Q Problems in which the Asian
African bloc is not directly con-
cerned but in which it is an
interested and potentially influen-
tial observer-such as disarma-
ment.
1t is noteworthy that most Of
the problems of the Asian-African
bloc are, at least on the surface.
with the Western powers. Their
grievances with the Communist
bloc appear more theoretical than
practical. thanks to skillful Red
maneuvering. In other words,
while the West points out to the
emerging nations the danger Of
communism. the Communists
champion-or pretend to cham
pion-the causes Of independence
and nationalism.
Thus the bloc nations tell the
West: The Soviet danger you
speak to US of has not fallen with
in our immediate experience. On
the other hand. we do have press
ing problems to resolve which
stem at least in part from our
past relations with the West and
the solution of which the West is
impeding. You say the Commu-
nists have Interior motives in
supporting us. We must reply
that we cannot afford at this time
to look a gift horse in the mouth"
The Toughest Problems
The two knottiest problems in
Volving the Asian-African bloc
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-29
U.N. Asion-Africons
Are Back in STRENGTH

with the Western powers at pres
ent are Algeria and Palestine. The
position Of the African bloc
on the two problems is in general
as follows:
On Algeria. a trusteeship lead
ing to independence, which would
embody in its text a definite
promise Of independence, is what
the Asian-African bloc seems will
ing to accept. To the latest French
argument that, If given independ-
ence. Algeria would become Com
muniSt or lean towards commu-
nism, they refer to the cases Of
Morocco and Tunisia. There, they
say, not only were the Communist
agitators French Communists tax
ing their orders from Moscow via
Paris, but the nationalist move
ments in both those countries
were so strong and so genuine that
they engulfed and swallowed I'D
the Communist elements until
they dissolved.
The Argument
The Asian-African Spokesman
say that If 1t is true that commu-
nism thrives on local Illustrations,
Moscow would benefit from the
forced French withdrawal from
Algeria in two ways. First, she
would strengthen her position as q
champion of independent move
mentS. Second. French discomfort
at home over the loss would give
aid and comfort to Russia's Com
munist followers within France.
But. they say. if France should
take leaf from the British book
and voluntarily give Algeria her
independence or some sort Of COM
monwealth status, Frances pres
tige would rise throughout the
Asian-African area and at the
same time the French people
would have been saved from q
demoralizing loss Of face.
This is the argument being
heard among certain pro- Western
Asian and African delegates to the
U. N. Whether it will have any
effect on France remains to be
seen.
Palestine Challenge
AS TO the Palestinian problem.
the United States appears anxious
to solve that delicate and knotty
question which is considered to be
basic to the tension in the Middle
East. Some observers here feel
that President Eisenhower could
have capitalized on the United
States attitude. expressed by him
during the height CT the Suez
crisis. and could have then come
out with a clear-cut American
policy toward Palestine.
In the opinion Of the Asian and
African bloc delegates, the most
challenging and dangerous factor
in the Palestine crisis is that OF
the Arab refugees. now barely ex-
listing in camps and shacks as
wards Of the U. N. The Afro
Asian bloc contends Cd that the
U. N. resolutions safeguarding the
rights Of the Arab refugees to re-
patriation and. or compensation,
have been confirmed by subsequent
resolutions on the Palestine ques-
ton; 20 that the Arab refugees.
in the event Of Israel opening the
doors for repatriation, would not
flock back to Israel, but would &C
cept United States offers to help.
financially and otherwise, in the
resettlement Of the refugees.
Once the refugee problem is
solved. the world would be well
on the way toward diSentangling
the skein of the Palestine problem,
in the opinion of the bloc nations.
