Gains Seen Encouraging Khrushchev

niks have added much 10 his
luster with the Russian
people.
They had been awed by
Stains bloodless victories In
the international field. Mr..
Khrushchev had offered
none. He has them now, and
the free world which pam
licked so easily when the first
sputnik was launched last
fall has aided him con-
siderably.
A large section of the
Russian people Is Asian or
Aslan-minded. Hence any
victories In the Middle East
make an impression - more
than the reverses we have
suffered there have affected
the average American. After
the disastrous British :
French-Israeli expedition
against President Nasser Of
Egypt - disastrous because
we failed to recognize the
danger Of It's failure to the
free world - Russia had
practically a free rein in the
Middle East.
The continuation Of our
short-sighted policies helped
the creation of the United
Arab Republic. For the first
time in centuries an African
country conquered an Asian.
We failed to help the Syrians
who wanted a union with
Iraq and Jordan and per-
mitted the Russian agents to
bring about Syria's union"
with Col. Nasser.
The myth Of q vast Arab
empire extending from the
Atlantic TO the Persian Gulf
is being swallowed BY most
Arabs who listen avidly to the
Russian propagandists. The
USSR has become the big
brother" of the Arabs. Ac-
tually the Kremlin's aim is
clear: 1t does intend to estab-
lish that Arab empire under
Col. Nasser, whom they can
control despite the statements
to the contrary of our diplo-
mats who predict that we can
wean him away with dollars.

mand to newsmen-and by
implication to the American
people-to say no more about
it.
1t occurred to some re-
porters instantly that the
duty Of the massed press at
that point, denied the right
to do their job. was to say
Thank you, Mr.. President
the time-honored press con-
ference finale--and walk out.
For while the President may
think he has made UP his
mind, the story is not over;
it is running on like Tenny-
sons brook.
Such a walkout would not
be practical; some thousand
rugged individualists make up
the Washington press corps,
which is probably for the
best in the long run. So they
rushed to wires, telephones,
TV and typewriters to have
the last word, as usual. in
their news outlets.
Within minutes the new
joke went the rounds: Con-
gress now will have to i'm

he's President.
The jokes are the real

Recently a correspondent
reported to me that he had
written to the editor Of the
most important newspaper in
his city asking him to refrain
from referring to the Soviet
Union as "the enemy" or
"our enemy" on the ground
that such epithets could not
contribute to promoting more
pacific relations. He received
an angry reply that his letter
was being turned over to the
FBI, who may find 1t very
interesting"
I do not personally know
the gentleman. who writes
me occasionally to praise or
blame, nor have I seen the
correspondence, but / DO
know that overzealous indi-
viduals are often more active
censors than officials, and
that sometimes those who
would fight against any CEN
sorship that might involve
themselves are the most CEN

The suspicion that things
might take such a turn has
existed for some time, but IL
has been only recently that
II has assumed a more def
mite shape. The once mel
low" tone Of the Kremlin has
changed rather suddenly, and
is not in harmony with the
previous Khrushchev gestures
for at least q temporary i'm
provement In international
relations.
The sharp attitude Of Mos
COW toward President Tito Of
Yugoslavia was the first straw
in the wind Of the toughen-
ing Of the Kremlin's policies.
Only two years ago the Bull
ganin-K hrushchev team went
hat in hand to Belgrade to
kiss and make up" with the
Yugoslav dictator. The then
Kremlin team placed all the
blame for the misunderstood
ing among the Communist
brethren on that awful

There was no reason to
believe that the honeymoon
would be ended so quickly
and abruptly. All our OBJ
servers in the Yugoslay capt.

going smoothly and that the
Kremlin was reconciled to
the slight degree of independ-
ence Comrade Tito wanted to
keep for himself. The dicta-
tor was so sure that the Com
munist fraternity was once
more reunited that he per-
mitted himself the luxury Of
dispensing with American
military aid. which so many
members Of Congress and a
large portion Of the American
public resented.
He obtained large loans
from the USSR and things
seemed to be going on roller
skates. until out of a blue sky
Comrade Khrushchev, now
sole dictator of the USSR,
ordered him to fall in line
with everything Moscow was
doing and-what appears to
trained observers as more sig
niflcant--what 1t intends to
do in the immediate future.
Marshal Tito baked, not only
because he is jealous Of his
