Emphasis on u. N.

The Presidents note to Mr..
Khrushchev was followed by an
announcement at the United Ma
lions that Secretary General Dag
HammarSkjold had called in So
Wet and Western representatives
for private talks to speed arrange
ments for q summit meeting.
The State Department last week
intimated that the United States
would 60 to the summit. even
without Russia. AS in the case of
the technical talks on disarma-
ment at Geneva, the betting is
that Mr.. Khrushchev, who may
not commit himself until the last
minute, will be there.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan notified Moscow that
he would be willing to attend q
meeting August IL and told Mr..
Khrushchev, II hope you will be
there. too" Still uncommitted was
France. Premier Charles de Gaulle,
who had expressed q preference
for an August 10 meeting outside
the United Nations, however, did
not close the door on participation
in q Security Council conference.
The location of the summit
meeting still had not been de-
termined yesterday. Mr.. Khru-
shchev brushed aside objections to
New York on grounds that the
safety of participants could not
be guaranteed, but said again he
was ready to meet anywhere.
President Eisenhower ruled out
Moscow, because, THE memory
of the well-organized mass dem
onstrations and serious damage
to the United States Embassy in
Moscow is too fresh in the minds
of the American people" Dag
Hammarskjold noted that Geneva
had its drawbacks-too crowded
with other conferences. But with
Moscow and New York ruled out,
the conference probably viii be
held in Geneva.
InSistence on summit talks with
: In the Security Council is part Of
! . United States policy to bring
Lebanon under the protective
custody" Of the United Nations.
Secretary Dulles said the United
States would withdraw its troops
at the request ofthe legally con-
stituted" Lebanese government but
/ would prefer to have them remain
until political conditions are
stabilized.

Shifting Tides

One of these is certainly the
increased feeling Of Arab nation
alistn. Mr.. Dulles last Thursday
was asked If the United States
was shaping a new policy toward
Arab nationalism. He replied
that although the United States
had been one of the first to
recognize the JAR, it might not
support the shifting tides" of
some Arab nationalism that de
velops very fast"
The other is the long and
bitter dispute between Israel and
the Arab world. The United
Nations was discussing trustee
ship of Palestine in 1913 when
the British mandate expired. The
State of Israel was established
and Immediately recognized by
the United States.
This quick recognition, which
made the State of Israel an &C
complished fact, is still resented
by the Arabs. There has been no
indication so far that this long
smouldering dispute will be taken
up at a summit conference. And
Israel's Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion has served notice
that If it is taken up. Israel will
demand that the Arab nations
lend Indictment against Israel's
peace and existence"
Though world attention was
focused on the summit last week,
there was still shooting in the
Middle East. Over-anxious as

Delay Charged

The exchange Of letters began
last week with q note from
Premier Khrushchev Monday in
which the Soviet leader charged
"the United States Is delaying
the calling of the heads Of gov
eminent conference and does not
want this conference TO take ur-
gent steps toward q peaceful So
luton Of the armed conflict which
has broken out in the . Middle
East" W
Mr.. Khrushchet noted that

was replying) proposes that. In

The Soviet Premier, who has
been taking advantage Of every
opportunity to turn Middle East
events against the West. also sug-
gested that Britain and the United
States were preparing for fresh
acts Of aggression" that the State
Departments special envoy. Rob-
ert Murphy, was engaged in ~du-
bious activity :: under cover Of
American bayonets" and that the
United States was "unceremoni-
ously interfering in Leban0n's
domestic affairs"

United States. in refusing to agree
to his terms for q summit con-
ference, Of laying the ground for
an extension of the armed conflict

threat of a world catastrophe"

With many Of the pro-Western
countries In the Middle East slip
ping toward the UAR and in
fiuenced by the Soviet Union. the
United States last week took a
step to bolster the confidence Of
these nations in the United States.
Secretary of State Dulles an
nounced, after attending meetings
of the Pact in London. that the
United States would defend the
three remaining Middle East ma
tons in the pact-Turkey, Iran
and Pakistan-against direct or
indirect aggression.
This mean the United States is
pledged to defend three nations
bordering on the Soviet Union.
The new defense pact and the
presence Of United States forces
in Lebanon has won the quiet
approval Of Libya, Tunisia and the
Sudan, all threatened by pro-
Nasser groups within their borders.
The still undecided position Of
Iraq fastened recognition Of the
new regime by the United States,
Britain and the pro- Western Mid
die East nations Of Turkey, Iran
and Pakistan. -
But this new assertion Of
United States interest and aware
ness of the Middle East sun did
not answer a question that is be-
ing asked more frequently:
What proposals does the United
States have for a permanent
settlement of Middle East prob
