tary power will be put on the
scales to produce a general
balance of power against the
Soviets and their allies and

The basic purpose, of course.
is not to take military meas
ures, but to deter the Com
munists. 1t is a move of pre-
vention. 1t conceivably could
mean no steps at all would
ever be taken on the military
side beyond the deploying of
American forces in or near the
areas that might be threat
ened.
The Monroe Doctrine kept
the aggressors of Europe out

The Truman doctrine warned
Communist aggressors to keep
out of Greece and Turkey. Now
the Essen hover doctrine
warns Communist aggressors
to keep out Of the Middle East,
just as a similar warning has
gone out to the Soviet and Red
China regimes to keep hands
off Southeast Asia. Formosa

ciously to bolster military
strength anywhere that's nee

trine pledges the United States
to take certain action. it does
not preclude America from
joining collectively with Brit
ain and France and any other

CONSTANTINE BROWN
u. S. Policy of Wooing Nations Away
From Soviet Orbit Seen Emerqinq

A new American diplomatic
policy described as "aliena-
ton" is expected to emerge
after the present successful
settlement Of the Egyptian
Israeli crisis and the approval
of the Eisenhower doctrine
without noticeable strings.
Alienation" is a diplomatic
maneuver whereby the United
States will attempt to draw
away from the Soviet orbit as
many nations as 1t can, exclu-
sively by what some diplomats
in Washington call peaceful
aggression. We will try to
cajole away from the Kremlin
as many of its stooges and
satellites as possible.
The reports and statements
from various official and I'M
official personalities and COM
missions that our foreign aid
expenditures will have to con-
tinue for an indefinite time far
into the future are the result
of this new and novel attempt
to win the cold war against
Russia.
In line with this policy was
the cordial reception of Prime
Minister Nehru. the only per-
sonality in the world who was
privileged to spend seven hours
in seclusion with President
Eisenhower. 1t is also in line
with this alienation" policy
that the administration will
insist when it produces its 1858
foreign aid program that at
least 500 million be granted
to India.
In line with this policy was
the attempt Of the State De-
partment to invite Marshal
Tito to the United States. This
project has not been aban-
doned. despite the loud pro-
tests from over the country.
Its proponents say Tito is a
very vain man. And also he is
a dictator who alone deter
mines which way Yugoslavia
will go. We have no doubts,
they say. that the Yugoslav
people want to go the Amer
lean way. To permit them to
do this, we must cater to Tito's
vanity. they add. Hence the
planned red carpet reception
in Washington.
In order to succeed in this
policy of alienation. say its
proponents. we must flatter
the rulers of the countries in
the Soviet orbit besides pro-
viding them with hundreds Of
millions in cash or substance.
T he present negotiations
with the representatives of the
Gomulka government in Po-
land to provide their country
with loans amounting to more
than $3.50 million are also in
keeping with the new policy
Secretary of State Dulles
had this policy in mind when
he testified before Senate COM
mittees last month that under
certain conditions Egypt might
become the beneficiary of our
foreign aid. The conditions"
appear obvious to those who
sired this policy in the White
House and State Department:

what they feel is a new solu-
ton to the worlds problems,
1t extends even as far as Com
munist China. A number of
policy makers in the adminis-
tration believe that Chinese
Communist bosses are no more
enamored of the present
Kremlin leadership than Tito
is today. Hence, they are flirt-
ing with the idea that some
how or other we might be able
to catch the Chinese Commu-
mist fly with honey.
The advances made in recent
months by the men in Peiping
to the leaders of the Free
Chinese Republic in Formosa
are regarded here as more
than interesting" According
to some highly placed observ-
ers in Washington, these APP
proacheS are not mere pro-
paganda but contain a kernel
Of truth. And it is up to Wash
ington to develop it.
The State Department at
least Is still determined to
oppose admission of Red China
to the U. N. But others, includ-
ing some of President Eisen-
hower's sonal advisers,
believe that since it is unlikely
that we shall be able to muster
the necessary votes to prevent
the Reds admission, We should
develop the situation to our
own advantage by trying to
wean Chou En-lai from Mos
COW. even if the price for this
alienation" might look pretty
high for those who still prefer
a policy of PRINCIPLES

'Suez Crisis Gives Aura

Amphibious and airborne
maneuvers in the Panama Canal
Zone next month will take on
added significance because Of

that the waterway is in danger.
The exercise will involve more

be used and simulated atomic
attacks will oe carried out.

one. 1t is headed by Maj. Gen.

A total of 80 different canal

lanes; Nicaragua, its large lakes;
