Our thoughts naturally turn
to the United Nations as a pro-
tector Of small nations. It's
charter gives it primary respon-
sibility for the maintenance Of
international peace and security.
Our country has given the United
Nations its full support in rela-
ton to the hostilities in Hun
gary and in Egypt. The United
Nations was able TO bring about
a cease-flre and withdrawal of
hostile forces from Egypt because
it was dealing with governments
and peoples who had a decent
respect for the opinions of man
kind as reflected in the United
Nations General Assembly. But
in the case Of Hungary, the sit
uation was different. The So
Wet Union vetoed action by the
Security Council to require the
withdrawal of Soviet armed
forces from Hungary. And it
has shown callous indifference
to the recommendations, even
the censure. of the General AS
sembly. The United Nations can
always be helpful, but it cannot
be a wholly dependable protector
of freedom when the ambitions
Of the Soviet Union are involved.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-06

Russias rulers have long
sought to dominate the Middle
East. That was true of the
Cars and it is true of the Boil
sheviks. The reasons are not
hard to find. They do not affect
Russia's security. for no one
plans to use the Middle East as
a base for aggression against
Russia. Never for a moment has
the United States entertained
such a thought.
The Soviet Union has nothing
whatsoever to fear from the
United States in the Middle
East, or anywhere else in the
world, so long as its rulers do
not themselves first resort to
aggression.
That statement I make SOL
EMMY and emphatically.
Neither does Russia's desire to
dominate the Middle East spring
from its own economic interest
IN the area. Russia does not
appreciably use or depend upon
the Suez Canal. In 1855 Soviet
traffic through the canal repre-
sented only about three-fourths
Of per cent of the total. The
6oviets have no need for, and
could provide no market for, the
petroleum resources which con-
stitute the principal natural
wealth of the area. Indeed, the
Soviet Union is a substantial ex-
porter Of petroleum products.
Power Politics Is Reason
The reason for Russia's inter-
est in the Middle East is solely
that Of power politics. Consid-
ering her announced purpose of
commanding the world, it is
easy to understand her hope of
dominating the Middle East.
This region has always been
the crossroads of the continents
Of the Eastern Hemisphere. The
Suez Canal enables the nations
Of Asia and Europe to carry on
the commerce that is essential
II these countries are to main
tain well-rounded and prosper
Gus economies. The Middle East
provides a gateway between
Eurasia and Africa.
1t contains about two-thirds
OF the presently known oil de-
posits Of the world and 1t nor
mally supplies the petroleum
needs OF many nations OF Eu-
rope. Asia and Africa. The ma
tions Of Europe are peculiarly
dependent upon this supply, and
this dependency relates to trans
portation as we'll as to produce
ton. This has been wildly
demonstrated since the closing
Of the Suez Canal and some OF
the pipelines. Alternate ways Of
transportation and, indeed, al
ternate sources Of power can. II
necessary, be developed. But
these cannot be considered as
early prospects.

Under all the circumstances
I have laid before you, greater
responsibility now devolves upon
the United States. We have
shown, so that none can doubt,
our dedication to the principle
that force shall not be used in
ternationally for any aggressive
purpose and that the integrity
and independence Of the nations
of the Middle East should be
inviolate. Seldom in history has
a nations dedication to principle
been tested as severely as ours
during recent weeks.
There is a general recognition
in the Middle East. as elsewhere,
that the United States does not
seek either political or economic
domination over any other peo-
pie. Our desire is q world en-
vironment Of freedom, not servi-
tude. On the other hand many,

The Middle East has abruptly
reached a new and critical stage
in its long and important his
tory. In past decades many of
the countries in that area were
not fully self-governing. Other
nations exercised considerable
authority in the area and the Sc
curity of the region was largely
built around their power. But
since the First World War there
has been a steady evolution to-
ward self-government and indie
pendence. This development the
United States has welcomed and
has encouraged. Our country
supports without reservation the
full sovereignty and independ-
ence Of each and every nation of
the Middle East.
The evolution to independence
has in the main been a peaceful
process. But the area has been
often troubled. Persistent cross
currents of distrust and fear
with raids back and forth across
national boundaries have brought
about a high degree Of insta-
bility in much of the Mideast.
Just recently there have been
hostilities involving Western Eu-
ropean nations that once exer-
cised much influence in the area.
Also the relatively large attack
by Israel in October has intensi-
ned the basic differences between
that nation and its Arab neigh
bors. All this instability has been
heightened and. at times, manip-
ulated by International commu-
nism.

To whom it may concern, Con-
greSs meets again tomorrow in
joint session on an issue hardly
as unsettled as the Middle East
or as undetermined as the State
of the Union. House and Senate
will merely see for themselves
the official outcome of the presi-
Dental election last November 6.
In accordance with conStitu-
tional ground rules for the Elec-
toral College, the ballots cast by
43l electors December II will be
opened, counted and proclaimed
at a l pm. meeting Of Senators
and Representatives in the House
chamber.
President Eisenhower, who ad-
dressed a joint session yesterday
and will address another one
Thursday. will not be present in
person tomorrow afternoon. But
his political presence will be very
much in evidence. Moreover,
Vice President Nixon will be
there. although with little pros
pect of a f1libuster and even less
likelihood of a tie vote.
The ballots cast by electors
elected last November have been
delivered to the Capitol and en-
trusted in a mahogany box to
Secretary of the Senate FELTON,
NJ. Johnston. They will be car
ried tremendously to the House
chamber tomorrow afternoon
and solemnly Tailed under the
eyes of official tellers named
last week by the Senate and
House. The watchers are Demo-
cratic Senator Green Of Rhode
Island. Republican Senator Jen-
ner Of Indiana, Democratic Rep

gress have united. without parti-
sanship, to serve the vital in
terests Of the United States and
of the free world.
The occasion has come for us
to manifest again our national
unity in support Of freedom. and
to show our deep respect for the
rights and independence of every

also. if armed attack occurs, be

The legislation now requested

conditions l suggest, presently
appropriated funds will be ade-
quate for the balance of the
present fiscal year ending June

First may I express to you my
deep appreciation of your cour-
tesy in giving me, at some in
convenience to yourselves. this
early opportunity of addressing
you on matter I deem to be
of grave Importance to our
country.
In my forthcoming state-of-
the Union message, I shall re-
view the international situation
generally. There are worldwide
hopes which we can reasonably
entertain, and there are world
wide responsibilities which we
must carry to make certain that
freedom--including our own
may be secure.
There is. however. a special
situation in the Middle East
which I feel I should, even now.
lay before you.
Basic Aim Is Peace
Before doing so 1t Is we'll to
remind ourselves that our basic
national objective in interna-
tional affairs remains peace-a
world peace based on justice.
Such a peace must include all
areas. all peoples of the world
If 1t is to be enduring. There
is no nation, great or small, with
which We would refuse to ne
gotiate, in mutual good faith.
with patience and in the de-
termination to secure a better
understanding between us. Out
of such understandings must,
and eventually will. grow conf
dence and trust, indispensable
ingredients to program of
peace and to plans for lifting
from us all the burdens of ex-
pensive ornaments. To promote
these objectives our Government
works tirelessly. day by day,
month by month. year by year.
But until a degree Of success
crowns our efforts that will as
sure to all nations peaceful ex-
istence, we must, in the interests
of peace itself, remain vigilant,
alert and strong.
