Three Kings Of Mideost
May Form Royo|ist Bloc

Arab nations serve only to empha-
size the complicated nature Of their
relationship. For example, Jordan
was tied in close military alliance
with Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia.
The alliance was forged by Col.
Nasser in 1855, taking as its base
the mutual hostility to defiant
Israel. Yet the fact Of the alliance,
providing for a unified military
command under Egyptian leader.
ship, did not deter either Egypt or
Syria from interference in the
internal affairs of Jordan.
The apparent reason for the al
most-overt Egyptian and Syrian
subversion in Jordan was their fear
that King Saud, after his visit to
Washington in March, was being
successfully wooed toward the West.

policy has been officially neutralist,
but events have forced him closer

with the at least tacit approval Of
Baghdad. appears to have decided
that shaky Jordan, crowded with
bitter Palestinian refugees who out
number native Jordanians two-to-
one, must be toppled forthwith into
the nationalist camp.
The coup failed mainly because
the young King Hussein displayed
a startling determination to hold
on to his own. When his success
was obvious, King Saud hastened to
praise his courage and to pledge
him support. In effect. the four
nation alliance so carefully fostered
by Col. Nasser had died, save always
that it would undoubtedly function
were the Israelis to make a hostile
move.
Lurking behind the crosscurrents
in the Arab world is the Soviet
Union. International communism.

have refrained from joining or have
bitterly attacked the pact as a new
colonialism. But the events Of the
. past three weeks may alter their
outlook, at least to some extent.
If the three kings, in their cur
rent negotiations. decide that their
mutual interests in survival call for
a new Arab bloc of Saudi Arabia,
1raq and Jordan. then Egypt and
Syria will have been dangerously
isolated. In such an event, ma
tionalist agitation inside the three
kingdoms can be expected to in
crease in extent and ferocity. The
theological attack will be aimed at
the young and best educated ele-
meAts in the populations and It
probably will take the form Of an
assault on "feudalism" as the block
to Arab progress.

HIND THE DRAMA
BY OLIVIA HAGER

At the end Of May. international
relief organizations win meet in
Geneva and attempt to bring about
a final solution to the refugee prob
lem.
Urgency has been added to their
task by the recent hunger strikes
Of the Hungarians. protesting
Washington's decision to end our
emergency refugee program. The
$4,000 human beings still awaiting
resettlement find 1t difficult to un-
derstand why the emergency should
be considered over.
A little less than seven months
ago. when the dramatic story OF
the Hungarian rebellion broke, the
Austrian nation Joined with the rest
OF the free world in rejoicing. It
wasn't long since Austrians had rid
themselves OF Russian troops. and
the common bond of suffering was
strong.
However. while other countries
went on an emotional spree, cheered
by the knowledge that the Iron
Curtain could be cracked, geogra-
ply laid an expensive problem in
the lap Of the Austrians. Their
country bordered that OF Hungary,
and 1t was to Austria that the
refugees fled. Austrians gave asy-
lum to all who crossed, with no
screening. These good samaritans,
with little In the larder or the
treasury. had TO roll UP their
sleeves and do the housekeeping.
Eventually they became host to
l7l.000 unexpected guests.
Comps inadequate
Although there had been many
buildings and camps In the coun-
try, used TO house refugees who had
entered In the period since the end
Of World War II, some Of the more
rundown centers had been razed
because conditions seemed to be
returning tol normal. The camps
that remained were still In use,

ardized the refugees opportunity to
earn a living Most Of them hoped
to einigrate to America, and were
afraid that prior resettlement In
another country would damage
their CHARGES.
Quotes Filled
The American quota has been
filled, and the offers from almost
every other country met. For the
$4,000 remaining homeless, the
greatest hope at the moment is the
Dominican Republic. The Carib-
bean nation has offered to accept
10000.
For those with skills to offer. able

there is a chance to make a new
life. Five hundred and twenty-five
refugees have already made the
trip. but for the remainder the big
problem is the price Of a steamship
ticket. Private individuals from
the Dominican Republic dug deep
into their pockets to finance the
first shipload, but the next funds
must come from relief agencies.
The fiow of refugees from Hun.
gary has stopped. and on paper the
statistics are encouraging. Today's
figure compared to the peak makes
one feel that much has been ac-
complished. But for those left to
linger on In the camps. statistics
are meaningless. A hunger strike
is q natural weapon for those who
cannot earn their own bread.

ting better negotiating conditions
by waiting. On the contrary. we
are running the risk Of losing the
few chances that may exist now;
the longer we wait, the greater the
danger Of war.
All things considered, the Rus
sian leaders may very well regard a
balanced compromise proposal as
advantageous to their people and
to themselves.
Peoee, the ldeoI cIimote
Let us return to the general sub
ject of relations between the two
major groups. which we touched
upon earlier. One Of the major rea-
sons for negotiating-and negotiat-
ing without delay-becomeS i'm
mediately apparent.
Let US assume, for the moment,
that the negotiations conclude with
a compromise in keeping with our
general outlook. Let us imagine
that the conditions Of the peace
that has been re-established are
such that people cease to fear for
the morrow. Let'us further mag
inc that both sides begin to work
on the assumption that there will
be long periods Of peace. Which
regime would benefit most from
such conditions? Would 1t not be
that of the free countries?
An atmosphere Of peace would
open the way to truth. OF the two
regimes, the one that was intrin-
sically superior, that touched the
deepest chords. that was most able
to satisfy all human needs, would
win out in the end.
Do What You Must
In the last analysis, what does 1t
matter to US whether the outlook
for success be more or less good
or bad? Is it not wiser to try our
luck?
Even IL negotiation had only one
chance in a thousand Of insuring
peace. we would still have to take
1t. We must bet on its winning.
Let us offer one more hypothesis:
That the negotiations are unsuc-
cessful. or even that the proposals
made in all good faith by the free
countries fail to bring the Russians
even to the point Of discussion.
Would the allies position be weaker
as a result?
All men of good will, wherever
they live. would thereafter draw a
line between those who really and
truly want peace and those who
merely pay lip service TO 1t. the bet
ter to hide other intentions.
In short. in offering TO discuss
with the Russians broad and
vigorous program for organizing
peace, the free countries would be
giving those who follow them and
those who observe them all the
more reason for having confidence
in the future.
And regardless Of what tomor-
row may hold in store. be 1t peace
or cold war, or even worse. each
of US will feel stronger II he can
say to himself with q clear con-
science that all means Of insuring
peace were employed when the his
torical moment called for them.
