Threat of Being EnguIfed by Soviet Called
Real Reason for New u. S. Policy

moving against the Iranian
capital. intending to take the
country over. AS the Soviet
movements coupled with the
agitation in Azerbaijan con-
tinued in. recent weeks. the
administration decided to take
steps to thwart the new So
Wet plans which had become
even more significant now
than in the past.
The Communist penetra-
ton in Egypt, Syria and Jordan
is strong and will not easily be
removed so long as the pres
ent leaderships in Cairo,
Damascus and Amman remain
in power. The political victory
Of Col. Nasser has had more
important repercussions in
Iran than we like to admit.
Secretary Dulles realized
that in event of a new Moscow
engineered uprising in Aver
baijan. with all its conse-
quences over the rest Of the
country. the United Nations
would be powerless. Moreover,
the Baghdad pact. countries,
and especially Turkey. would
find it necessary to respond to
an appeal from the Teheran
government to help against a
disguised Soviet aggression in
which 1t is known the Mus
covites plan to inject their
own forces in the guise Of
volunteers.
In the light Of our present
responsibilities. the Unite

imperialistic aims in the Mid
die East. Turkey as a member
Of the NATO could ask for our
military aid only in the event
her own borders were crossed
by the Red force but not in the
event she were bound to go
to Trans rescue.
Under these circumstances
the administration decided
that to ward off the USSR's
plans we must commit ourselves
militarily and economically to
the defense of the whole Mid
die Eastern area while in fact
we are concerned at the present
time principally with the Sc
curity of Iran.
The administrations case
was presented to members Of
responsible committees of both
houses of Congress by Secre-
tary Dulles last Wednesday.

so clearly the Russian strategy

A new and immediate dan
ger to the sovereignty Of Iran
is said in responsible quar-
tiers in Washington to be the
real reason for President Eli
senhower's pressing demand
for standby powers to use
American forces If necessary
to stem a Soviet aggression in
the Middle East.
This explanation about the
real cause Of the administra-
tons serious concern over the
situation in that restless por-
ton of the world is said to
have changed the minds of a
number Of skeptical MEM
bers of Congress who had in
sisted only last Tuesday on a
microscopic" inquiry into
the so-called Eisenhower doc
trine.
Until the naturalization of
the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. our
diplomats considered Iran as
"Britain's responsibility" Aft
er the settlement of that
dispute, Britain's political
prestige and influence faded
out and we became loosely re-
sponsible for the protection of
that country against another
Soviet aggression like that in
1945 when Soviet troops had
reached the gates of Teheran.
We never took the RESPONSE
bility very seriously and failed
to provide the Iranian army
with the wherewith to make
it into a competent military
force. AS a precautionary
measure against a possible
Soviet onslaught we en-
couraged the creation Of the
Baghdad pact. consisting of
Turkey. Iran, Pakistan, 1raq
and Britain. But because we
could not abandon our sup
port of Israel we did not join
that defensive military al
lance.
In recent months, particu-
larly after the worlds atten-
ton was focused on the great
failure of the British and
French military intervention
in Egypt. the Soviets have
been quietly gathering forces
on the Russian-Iranian bor-
ders. Reliable intelligence re-
ports indicated the Muscovites
were once more melting the
Azerbaijanese to rebel against
the Teheran "oppressors."
They used the same means at
the end of the last war when
they created an independent"
Kremlin supported Azerbai-
jan government. 1t is thence
that the Red troops started

have put him indelibly on one
side Of the civil rights ques-
ton or the other. Such q rul-
ing would. of course. affect his
political career.
The ingenious johnson ex-
planned this curious procedure
to Democratic liberals as fol-
lows: With his feet to the fire
on the question, Nixon would
be forced to vote with the
liberals and thus destroy their
picture of him as the darling
Of the reactionaries. 1t would
strengthen him in those
States. johnson argued, where
liberals with an eye to the
future most wish him to be
weak.
The truth is that the South
erners know their day on this
issue Is drawing to a close.
They feared that a pro-civil
rights ruling by the Vice Pres
ident. inescapably carrying
with it the imprimatur of the
White House, might upset
their precariously balanced
applicant.
johnson also appealed anew
to the liberals not to split the
party with a rousing North
South fight at the beginning
of the new session. This is the
usual reparations the South
exacts from the North for hav-
ing lost the Civil War.
In short, the civil rights
fight remains where it long
has benin the hands Of the
courts.

means of rescuing a business
from the straitjacket of higher
and higher costs and lower
and lower profits. Small bust
nesses, are encountering the
same kind of setbacks as the
larger ones.
The root Of the trouble is
the failure to understand that
the profit system is also a loss
system and that the persons
who do not invest capital and
have no primary responsibility
for earning a profit cannot be
permitted to force a narrower
and narrower spread between
profits and costs. The end
result of such a pressure Is
bound to be unemployment for
many workers.
The prophecies and forecasts
for 1857 as issued at the begin
ming of the new year are. as
usual, optimistic. But the situ-
alton underneath is not stable.
One reason, of course, is that
every business must put aside
So cents out of every dollar
of profit for Federal taxes, and
there is no sign Of tax reduce
ton. Congress is still in a
mood to spend more and more.
The problem of the business
man is how to multiply his 48-
cent segment of the profit dol
lar-and that requires a bigger
and bigger volume of sales.
When this isn't forthcoming.
then there must be a reduce
ton in costs. Otherwise, red
figures appear. and eventually
comes liquidation of the bust
ness. And in too many enter
prises the labor cost is fixed.
It not only can't be reduced.
but labor leaders are insist
ing that it must go up every
year so they can keep their

candidates. This is the road
to economic disaster in Amer

raised-and few will be in Con-

that seems inevitable II the

continued without a CORE
spending increase in business
profits to take care of these
costs and to provide reserves
for new equipment and plant

the goods manufactured are

the buyers cannot absorb them.
For the first time in many
years corporation profits of
many major companies have
shown a decline as compared
with previous years. The 1856

too. The doctrine of labor lead
ers that wage increases can be
absorbed indefinitely out of
high profits has in it a basic
fallacy. For. while profits do
decline, wages never drop
except when the bottom has
fallen out of everything and a
depression is on.
There is, therefore, no flexi-
bility in Americas economic
system as at present consti-

can do nothing to stop the
wage spiral which is at the
bottom of the money infla-

produce a bigger and bigger
volume of goods, hoping there
by to get greater productivity
and higher profits. But there
are on the horizon already some
signs that the cycle is coming
to an end-the period of rising
costs can be halted apparently
only by a curtailment of buying
due to the price rises. This is

and the big question of the

An atmosphere OF impending
crisis surrounds the new Con-
gress. There is an air of anx-
iety, and it stems from internal
as well as external factors.
The uncertainty about the
Middle East and the turbu-
lence in the satellite states of
Eastern Europe which could
cause a crumbling of the
Kremlin are in the headlines
every day. but there is some
thing else which isn't - the
growing fear that Americas
economy faces some serious
storms in the months ahead.
This Congress remains di-
vided on party lines almost
exactly as it did afta' the 1854
election. That's because con-
tests for Congress are by dis
tricts and States, and local
issues play a vital part. Hence.
the popularity of a President
cannot influence the result in
Congress, as is sometimes as
sumed. The main reason why
the Republican Party didn't
get an overwhelming vote in
both houses of Congress was
economic. There was a bust
ness recession in 1854 and a
farm recession in 1856.
Now the biggest threat that
faces the party in power is the
prospect of another setback to
business. This can come as a
result of the wage and price
imitation now being experienced
in many industries.
America doesn't have a free
economy, as is so often in
sisted. If cartels and monop-
olies were to fix prices, the
public would understand, and
there would be a demand for
vigorous enforcement of the
antitrust laws. Yet, when an
artificial factor that fixes
prices and interferes with the
free flow of goods to market
is interposed by another type
Of monopoly-the labor-union
cartels-then there Is little
public understanding or COM
plant.
Today's economic danger lies
in the fact that a habit has
developed in labor-union ne
