Government and Army Purges Foreseen
If New Regime Is to Retain Power

In the game of power pol
itics that we and the Rus
slams are playing in the Mid
die East. the critical country
in the Arab world is Egypt.
the Arab state with the long
est independence. most nu-
nervous population, much the
largest number Of university
9raduates, and the ablest
md most voluminous press.
That Egypt could be
brought into the Western
camp after the revolution
was always an idle thought,
and the attack last fall by
Israel. France. and Great
Britain with the explicit
object Of overthrowing the
Nasser regime exploded even
so remote a possibility. What
the United States might have
won was a neutrality that
would not preclude friendly
relations.
But we did not pursue the
opening created by the Amer
lean stand in the u. N. WASH
ington continued to freeze
Egyptian dollar assets and
refused an Egyptian request
to buy wheat-almost stimuli
taneously with sending a
large grain shipment to
Israel whom the U. N. had
just disciplined for agrees
sive military action.
Syria is the only Arab
country that can be called an
Egyptian satellite-and more
properly than a Russian. The
Arab world is too removed
geographically and too pro-
tected by Western air bases
to offer favorable chances for
Russian military Intervention.
Much scare nonsense has
been written about this dan
ger. But Syria. in her antag-

Washington or New York at

ed with cars which use either

that the driver intends to
pass or turn, but that by no

The streets are slowly being

the present city the legisla-

because the means of the
present government do not

travagance.

This was palpable when I
was in both countries last
winter. In other Arab states
I was received with cordial
ity. In Syria the leading
members of the civilian gov
eminent were friendly. But
the press and radio were dis
tressingly inflammatory and
certainly not neutral. Syria
was under martial law, and
the tone Of the press was
undoubtedly set by the mill
tary censor.
The strongest pro-RuSsian
influence six months ago was
thus discernible in a clique
Of the military.
There was. and still is, a
marked and perhaps signifi-
cant difference in the Egyp-
tan and Syrian attitudes to-
ward the American Friends of

tries and has steadfastly
worked to create more SYM

ing at high speed, the notion
Of sanitation as understood
in the West is slow to i'm
press the people. A tour
through the local central
markets would bring tears to
advocates of the Point Four

to the torrid heat but also to

But extremes are usual in

DAVID LAWRENCE

What's the matter with the
government of Red China
anyway? Hasn't it read
about how the American
Constitution-as was argued
in the recent debate here
guarantees the right Of
American newsmen to gather
information freely anywhere
in the world. even when a
quasi-state Of war exists?
BY what right does the Pei
ping government now say it
will not allow American news
men to enter Red China
unless Communist newsmen
are admitted to the United
States? Doesn't the Red
China regime know that gov
ernments aren't supposed to
put any conditions whatsoever
on the right to travel" by
Americans and that the
American Civil Liberties
Uuion has said so?
But maybe the Red Chinese
officials do have a sense Of
shrewdness. If not q sense OF
humor. For they know now
that. by continuing their Or
ganized blackmail. they may
gain converts for their OBJ
jective - formal diplomatic
recognition of the Peiping
government. They are count
ing perhaps on some of the
so-called liberal" Democrats
in Congress to put partisan
ship above everything else as
the cause of Red China is
openly championed.
Already. for instance. some
Democratic Senators are de.
claring that Red China's de-
mand that her newsmen be
allowed to enter America
should be granted. They say
this even though the State
Department pointed out a
week ago that. while relaxing
its rule about Withholding
passports to American news
men, it didn't intend to en-
gage in any reciprocal ar
rangement whereby Red
China's newsmen could come
to the United States. For the
Red Chinese journalists, the
department says. are a part
Of the Peiping government,
and to admit any govern
mental personnel is the same

thing as admitting the staff
Of an embassy-it all amounts
to diplomatic recognition.
One of the reasons the State
Department is so strongly OPP
posed to recognition of Red
China is that it could bring
on a third world war. Exten-
sion of recognition now would
force the issue as between the
armies on Formosa and on
the mainland. and could lead
to an attempted invasion by
the Chinese Nationalist out
Of sheer desperation. 1t could
dishearten the Philippine
government and the South
Koreans. too, who have sac
rificed so much in their fight
against communism.
But the Peiping govern
ment evidently is counting
on some highly influential
Democrats in Congress to
take up the case for the adj
mission of Red Chinese news
men. believing that these
Democrats will do almost
anything to embarrass their
own government. The Red
Chinese. however. are mis-
taken about the Democratic
Party as a whole. While a
handful of Democrats favor
the idea of letting Commu-
mist newsmen into America
and would yield to the black
mail tactics of Peiping. the
majority will not.
The argument is made by
some Democratic Senators
that Soviet newsmen have
been allowed to enter the
United States, but it so hap
pens that there are diplo-
matte relations between
Washington and Moscow. So
the cases are not parallel.
Also. a year ago Peiping in
vited IS American newsmen
to come into Red China and
did not request a reciprocal
exchange.
What Red China from the
beginning has been playing is
a propaganda game-to en-
deavor to use American news
men as the tool of its own
foreign policy in order to gain
diplomatic recognition from
the United States and a seat
in the Security Council of
the United Nations.
Actually, Red China has

and trying to m axe the

In a sense. the introvert

well in life, because we live

can usually wriggle out.

which the parents of an ex-

they will apply to your

Our nine-year-old girl is a
real extrovert," Mrs. J.
writes. "She makes up with
every person who comes
along, always wants someone
to play with, can't stand be-
ing alone for a minute.
Unfortunately she drops
one interest for another about
as fast as she can move.
She is becoming something
of a show-off, I'm afraid, and
1t isn't easy for us to hold her
down.
Squelching bounces of her
like water of a ducks back.
The teachers are complaining
about her and she seems to
be a problem in Sunday school
too. Yet she's a good girl in
the ordinary sense of the
word.
What can anybody do with
such a child?"
Full-Time Job
A good deal, Mrs. j., but
it's a full-time job for two or
three persons, I'll admit!
The extrovert, as the name
suggests. is a child Cor an
adult whose attention is
turned outward. The oppo-
site is the introvert, whose at
