Danger for Boghdod Coalition?

Communist infiltratsons In
the Middle East.
Iraq was on the verge Of
withdrawing from the pact
on the eve Of the Ankara
meeting. Turkish Premier
Menderes rushed TO Baghdad
and convinced the king and
government to wait and see.
In addition to these ma
terial considerations, accord
ing to reports received from
Ankara. Mr.. Loyd's initial
speech at the parley did not
create q happy atmosphere.
He insisted that talks with
the Russians tending to bring
about relaxation Of the pres-
ent tension should be In the
forefront Of the allies diplo-
matte efforts.
In the Middle East, Russia
has acquired two loyal satel-
lites-E gypt and Syria
which she is providing with
almost unlimited assistance
in military equipment and
cash. Moreover, In order not
to deal with two separate en-
titles. she has forced both
countries which have nothing
in common except the Mos
lem creed TO join In q single
state which can be easier
controlled by the Kremlin.
Thus. the members Of the
Baghdad pact are complain
ing, while the Russians fol-
low q positive policy. Amer
lea and Britain appear con-
fused and uncertain. II these
feelings penetrate to the
masses. a. We are being
warned. there may be some
dramatic changes in Iraq
and Iran with disastrous con-
sequences to the coalition,
which Is the brainchild OF
American diplomacy but IL
treated now as . poor rela-
tive.
These fears may not ma
terialize II there are some
eleventh-hour changes Of
heart on the part Of the
American and British repre-
sentatives.
