Democratic Split Over Doctrine

America is invited to aid-lest
the growth of a Democratic
Party bloc in opposition to
such policies may tend to hurt
the position which the Demo-
Gratis as a party have taken in
the past.
Certainly the trend away
from policies of international
cooperation is noticeable
among the Democrats in the
Senate, despite the valiant
efforts of Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas, majority
leader, to keep the party in
line. A stable bloc of Demo-
Gratis is defying the leader
ship, and some of its members
are talking like the Repub-
lican isolationists Of the 1920s.
They can hardly be classified
as modern Democrats"
This development is a dis
couraging one. but 1t seems to
have escaped the notice of the
many writer's who are always
IN the forefront Of the critics
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton with the vague charge
that the State Department has
no foreign policy" or that 1t
lacks imaginative ideas"
Plenty has been written,
moreover, about a trivial cir
cumstance that occurred when
the news dispatches from the
Middle East happened to be
good one day and Ike called
this to the attention Of the
country in a casual remark
during one of his speeches.
Plenty has also been written
about another triviality-that
some of the administrations
plans about the Eisenhower
doctrine leaked" to the press
before Congress could organize
its committees and receive the
information. But when Is
Democrats out of 40 in the
Senate repudiate the interna-
tional policies Of the party
as expressed in the Marshall
Plan. the Truman doctrine
and in Korea-somehow or
other there is a tendency in
some quarters here to ignore
a really important piece of
news about a trend that could
adversely affect the whole
course Of the United States
in fighting the cold war"
against the Soviets.

expected by those who look
realistically at the interna-
tional situation and have
always maintained that "You
can't do business with dicta-
tors" It is unfortunate that
the lessons of history-and
particularly contemporary his
tory-are so easily forgotten
by the present-day diplomats
who still believe that expedi-
ency can produce lasting re-
suits. They all seem to have
forgotten that in 1889 another
and more powerful dictator
Hitler - was appeased at
Munich with the handing
over to him of the Sudeten-
land. a portion of the territory
of Czechoslovakia inhabited
overwhelmingly by Germans.
He accepted this surrender of
territory made by Britain and
France IN the face of strong
opposition by the Prague
government, with the state
ment that all claims of Nazi
Germany had been fully sat-
isfied and that henceforth he
would cOllaborate with the
other Western powers toward
a new era of peace and under
standing in the world. Within
six months he took over more
territory and a little later the
rest of CZechoslovakia, making
it into a German protectorate.
There is no reason to believe
that Nasser's word could be
more valid than that of the
Fuehrer, Mussolini, Stain or
Mao Tse-tung. Quite the con-
trary; the Egyptian dictator
his statements notwithstand-
ing-is a puppet in the hands
of Moscow. He has acted "ac-
cording to instructions" for
the last two years. There is
positive proof in the files of
the State Department, the
Foreign Office in London and
the Quai d'Orsay in Paris that
the arbitrary. naturalization
of the Suez Canal Co. was
instigated by Moscow and
backed by India and Yugo-
slavia, whose leaders had long
talks with Nasser only a few
days before he ordered the
naturalization of the inter-
national company.
Similar proof is in the hands
of our policy-makers that the
so-called nationalist move
ments in North and Central
Africa which are undermining
the remaining strength of our
French and British allies are
emanating from Cairo where
Russian specialists" are busy
coaching Egyptians in the fine
art of international intrigue.

Israel permitted the UNEF
contingents to enter the GAIA
Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba.-
But nobody seems to have
taken the trouble to look at
the fine print Of Nasser's ac-
ceptance. Those who believe
that the policy of the free
nations should be Justice at
any price" instead Of peace
at any price" are now worried
that neither the U. N. nor
this country, which is the
power which generates the
effectiveness of that world
organization, will dare to pick
up the gauntlet thrown by
Moscow through the medium
of Col. NaSSer.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Nosser's Insistenee on Egypts Return
To Gozo Strip Presents New Problem

The skies in the Middle East.
despite the passage of the Ell
senhower doctrine and the So
called strong stand of the
U. NJ" have become heavily
overcast again.
President Nasser insists now
that he permitted the United
Nations forces to enter Egyp-
tan territory only to supervise
the withdrawal of the "aggres-
sor forces" and that he has the
right to order them out at any
time. This means that the
Egyptian dictator has reserved
the right to order the UNEF
out whenever he desires.
The Israeli government has
informed Washington that 1t
will not look complacently on
such a withdrawal of the token
forces from the GAIA Strip and
reserves the right to do any
thing it deems necessary TO
preserve it's security.
Israel looks to the United
States. which has been the
honest broker in bringing
about the temporary settle
ment of the Egyptian Israeli
and Suez Canal frictions, to
live up to the informal COM
mitments it gave to Israel.
Not all these commitments
are available to the public.
But it is admitted in respon-
sible quarters that while both
Israel and the United States
have recognized the juridical
right Of Egypt to return even
tually to the GAIA Strip. the
Cairo diplomats had given
U. N. Secretary General Ham
marskjold and our own repre-
sentatives verbal assurances
that this return would not be
immediate. The UNEF was to
be allowed to remain there
until the controversy had
cooled of sufficiently to permit

Egypt and Israel.

the goodies in his budget have
been displayed to the voters
he cannot possibly regain that
