free-swinging speech at the Poll
and understanding Of the times
and pull their troops out Of
Lebanon and Jordan.
THE ice Of the ages is NOV
ing, 1t is breaking up and crush
ing everything in its path, all
the colonial and imperialist pol
icies Of old.
Let the imperialists beware"
Mr.. Khrushchev said, waving
his arms exuberantly. I'VE are
revolutionaries. We are Marx
lists and we are delighted when
the colonial nations raise up
and cast of their chains"
No Direct Threat
Mr.. Khrushchev did not
threaten the West directly. He
did not say the Soviet Union
would intervene in the Middle
East or that the United States
and Britain would be e"'ished
by Soviet arms.
His speech left NJ doubt.
however. that the Kremlin
ranged itself. in sympathy at
least, 100 per cent alongside
the nations raising the banner
of Arab nationalism in the
Middle East.
THE Arabs are not Marx
ists," Mr.. Khrushchev said.
They are fighting under an
other nag. the flag Of nation
alism. After that they can
build their own life as they see
it. But the boot of the for
eigner must be removed from
their soil"
Last Desperate Resort"
The Kremlin chief compared
the landing Of Western troops
in the Middle East to the last
gamble Of a man dying from
cancer.
War is the last desperate
resort of imperialists." he said,
"like that of a man dying of
cancer who is so desperate he
risks death on the operating
table"
But" Mr.. Khrushchev add
ed with a broad grin, IF they
want surgery, Marx was the
greatest surgeon of them all.
He showed US how to get rid
Of the capitalist cancer"

role Of peacemaker to the hilt.
Directing his attention to West
ern correspondents facing him
across q food-laden table in
the crowded reception room. he
said:
Understand us. We don't
need war. The sooner you I'M
derstand this the better it will
be for you and the whole world.
We don't want to hurt anybody.
We want peace throughout the
world"
Mr.. Khrushchev mentioned
the visit to Moscow last week
by President Nasser of the
United Arab Republic, but
threw no new light on their
talks.
1T was good to talk to him."
he said. II am a Communist
and he is not. But we agreed
on everything. He understood
me for what / am and l under
stood him for what he is"
Subject of Talks
Turning again to the cor
respondents, Mr.. Khrushchev
added:
You would like to know what
we talked about? We talked
about how to stop the hand Of
the imperialists, of what we
could do to prevent war in the
Middle East so that the new
republic Of Iraq could grow
strong and independent. what
ever course 1t may wish to
take"
Mr.. Khrushchev had some
sharp barhs for President Ca
mile Glamour Of Lebanon and
King Hussein of Jordan.
Glamour was elected by
some sort Of democratic pro-
cess but he lost the trust of his
people and now he is relying
on American bayonets." he
said. I'VE wish the Lebanese
people success, we hope they
will become masters Of their
fate 1t would be a sacrifice
to permit Glamour to stay in
power"
