could invite the western al
lies to send in troops to take
protective steps to repel the
aggression that is threatened.
But II is doubtful whether
public opinion. either In Brit
ain OF America. is as yet
ready for a war that might
ensue. It wasn't ready in the
l930s. either. So the only
logical policy at the moment
is TO begin to build a re-
sistance within the Middle
East by strengthening Tur-
key, Iran, Jordan and Paki-
stan in a military way and BY
supplying tie sinews Of de-
fense to the members Of the
Baghdad alliance. Slgnifi-
cantly. the revolution In Trad
was timed 10 coincide with a
meeting Of the representa-
tives Of the Baghdad pact to
be held this week in Turkey.
Another move might be
the cutting off by the West
ern powers Of diplomatic re-
lations with the Communist
government in Moscow. This
would serve notice on the
Kremlin that the West is well
aware Of the subversive tac-
tics Of the Communists and
is ready to apply an inter-
national Quarantine" This
was the proposal for dealing
with world lawlessness "
made by the late President
Franklin d. Roosevelt, who
suggested it in q public
speech in Chicago in 1887.
1t was recognized then as q
means of applying the moral
force Of the world. To heed
the advice about q "quaran-
tine" meant a trade embargo
as a sequel. This would have
prevented Hitler's building up
his war machine. But, un-
happily, materialism then
blocked the way, and less
than two years later a global
war began that cost millions
Of casualties.
Today the threat of a
worldwide embargo against
the Communists and against
Nasser would be one means

Vests Problem Seen to intervene
Or Let Moscow Stooges Have Way

At no time since June 2s.
1850. when the Communists
attacked South Korea. has
the international situation
been as much ION the brink"
as It is now. The Western
powers are confronted with
the dilemma Of either inter-
vening in the Middle East to
maintain democratic govern
ments or yielding TO Moscow's
proxy President Nasser. and
letting him establish q new
Arab empire hostile to the
West.
The coup in Baghdad had
been carefully and compe-
tently planned for some time
before the outbreak In Leb-
anon. On Friday night WASH
ington was alerted that the
King Of Jordan would be
assassinated. On Saturday
there was a meeting at Sec
retary Dulles home with top
military and political figures
to discuss the Middle East
cauldron. The revolt in Bagh-
dad had not broken out then.
but reliable reports from our
own observers indicated that
1t was imminent. On Mon
day morning when the tragic
news from Baghdad reached
the world. additional intelli-
gence indicated that unless
drastic steps were taken in
stantly, Jordan would not re-
main immune to the plots of
Col. NaSSer's agents and SYM
pathizers. The problem be-
fore Washington and London
is whether to accept the new
Soviet challege and act with
the latitude given them un-
der the terms of the Baghdad
Pact and the Eisenhower doc
trine or resign themselves to
the fact that the whole Mid
die East. with its oil resources

I'he sovlet strategIsts have

The Soviet strategists have
made a bold move In the
"coId war" They have insti-
gated a revolution IN IraQ,
They have increased Nasser's
power. They have also inten-
sified their threat TO take
over the whole Middle East
through their stooge. Nasser
Of Egypt.
This means a crisis in
Western policy which re-
sembIes what happened in
the 1896 when Hitler and his
stooge. Mussolini. used to take
step after step in their CAM
paign OF gradual absorption
Of weaker states. As Winston
Churchill lamented afterward
in his memoirs. there were
many occasions when the
allies could have taken a firm
stand and stopped the on
ward march Of totalitarian-
ism. Instead. the Western
governments vacillated and
were finally forced into war
after many opportunities to
checkmate the enemy had al
ready been passed by.

VIII the Security Council Of
the United Nations, where
action can be blocked by a
Soviet veto. prove as futile as
was the League Of Nations In
its day?
Win the West then let the
dictators in Moscow and
Cairo, who are jointly en-
gagged in aggression, pursue
their plots and take over all
the Middle East, when it may
be too late effectively to in
tervene without a big war?
The main question here
now is: What can the West

hover doctrine could. Of
course, be interpreted as
meaning that the circum-
stances justify a military in

a Crisis for Western Policy

Of bringing the men In the
Kremlin TO their senses. For
they are playing with fire to-
day. They are banking on
the lack Of res0luteness Of
the West. The Communists
have deliberately weakened
the Lebanon government BY
stirring up a rebellion, and
now they have managed to
overthrow q government In
Iraq which was friendly to
the West.
It win not be Of any avail
10 be legalistic and assume
that the whole situation In
Iraq is internal and that the
uprising is merely a clash be-
tween local factions. The
announcements Of the rebel
leaders are plainly written In
the phrases Of Soviet propa-
ganda. The m m e date
proclamation OF adherence to
Nasser's so-called republic.
for instance, gives the game
away. The revolution was
started from the outside and
is plainly a part Of the
scheme Of aggression and
conquest which Nasser, en-.
couraged by Moscow, has been
carrying on for some time.
The Western powers win
have to make up their minds
that they are not dealing
with the customary form OF
rebellion within a coun-
try. but are facing the con-
sequences of an international
revolutionary movemen
which has for its principal
object the capture OF whole
countries and making them
part Of the Soviet apparatus.
Unless firm action is taken
now. there is certain to arise
a bigger and more dangerous
crisis in the not-far- distant
future that could involve
large defense outlays and
grave risk. 1t is a time when
firmness is essential, when
the United States and Brit
ain must promptly consult
with Turkey, Pakistan, Jor-
dan and Iran to establish a
military program that will
really protect the Middle
East against further invasion
by the Communists.

World Hanging on the Brink

They found ready sympathiz-
ers and supporters among the
students and the clergy. And
they were In q position to
exploit with q high degree Of
success the story that the
West Is no longer IN q posi-
ton 70 challenge either the
UAR or its powerful spon-
sor and supporter. the Soviet
Union.
This Is the last chance the
free world has to put q halt
to the well-planned bids for
world domination Of the men
in the Kremlin. The coup In
IraQ has alerted more than
anything else not only the
members Of the Baghdad
pact but also the French, who
had not been invited to Join
1t. The most effective mili-
tary power In that area un-
questionably is Turkey. The
Ankara government, which
has been warning Washing
ton for a long time that we
must take q strong stand in
the Middle East, is report-
edly prepared for any kind Of
action 10 save what can still
be saved. But it is, by neces-
sity, mindful OF the presence
Of 80 Soviet divisions on its
borders. Hence it is not likely
to take a chance without pos
tive assurances from the
United States that we are
ready to stand by them with
everything we have.
London and Paris are re-
ported more alarmed than at
any time since the fateful
September of 1899. But they,
too, are looking to Washing
ton for a nod. They don't
want a repetition Of the Suez
Canal failure. They are now
inquiring whether President
Eisenhower will adopt a "for-
malistic" attitude. that the
Iraqi tragedy is a mere ''in-
ternal affair" which precludes
outside Intervention. or
whether he will take a real
istic attitude that "this is it"

DORIS FLEEsON

The Capital met the Iraq
disaster in a mood Of resig-
nation and cynicism.
There. was no disposition
to deny that the United
States does not have a policy
which can cope effectively
with the rising tide Of Arab
nationalism. Nowhere did
anyone say mo- to headlines
which spoke of death blows
to the Baghdad pact and the
Eisenhower doctrine for the
Middle East.
Nor did anyone expect any
military or naval action short
of news that substantial bod
les OF Americans were in dire
peril.
The Eisenhower adminis-
tration was taken by surprise.
A reporter broke the news to
Assistant Secretary Of State
Andrew Berding early yester-
day morning. Mr.. Berding is
the departments chief infor-
nation officer.
The President character
istically moved to bring Con-
gress into the orbit of the bad
news. Although they were ad-
mitting at State that they
had little information beyond
the press and radio reports,
he quickly called congress
sional leaders Of both parties
to the White House. He had
hardly had time to digest
the news himself, much less
to reflect upon it.
Aware of this, some of the
leaders were rather sullen
about their privilege, but in

Europe. should enter the
Soviet orbit.
Diplomats OF the Baghdad
pact nations In Washington
already are making a post
mortem examination Of the
present situation. They are
convinced that had the United
States Government gone
through with its original
strong stand in the Lebanese
outbreaks and allowed Presi-
dent Glamour to appeal for
American support, in keeping
with the formal pledges given
him by Washington, the pres
ent tragedy could have been
avoided.
Lebanon. according to Arab
as we'll as Western diplomats,
was q Laboratory" for Col.
Nasser and Mr.. Khrushchev
to test the determination Of
America and Britain. Col.
Nasser had thrown a stone
into the Middle Eastern
waters and was watching the
ripples. His position then
was that if the United States
and its associates took the
strong stand the administra-
tion had announced. Col Mas
ser could withdraw without
losing anything. But If the
Western powers principally
interested in the Middle East
decided to let nature take its
course in Lebanon and adopt
the position of mere watch
ers. the plans concocted with
Mr.. Khrushchev during Col.
Nasser's three-week visit to
the Soviet Union would be
Immediately put into action.
That is what is happening
now. Col. Nasser's agents had
been planted in Iraq and Jor-
dan for a long time. They
worked necessarily and spent
a good deal Of money. par
ticularly in the ranks of the
officers corps in the Iraqi-
Jprdanian federation's army.

Officials and Lawmakers Believed
Hompered by Lack of Data on Event

this city an invitation from
the President is a command,
even when the affair in hand
is infinitely less serious than
at present.
Most members of Congress
actually would like to be
helpful in foreign affairs.
They have been asserting
themselves on the foreign aid
bill in opposition to the Presi-
dents wishes because they
sincerely feel the policies it is
designed to implement are
outworn and ineffective.
On reciprocal trade they
performed well in the House
and may yet do so in the
Senate, although Finance
Committee votes there show
clearly the extent and power
of protectionist presSureS
from major United States
industries. With respect to
the pet Eisenhower project Of
Pentagon reorganization, the
Congressman point out that
the President has reversed his
own previous stand; they also
feel they, too, have had ex-
perience in this field.
1t is possible, even prob
able, that the fresh crisis
will incline Congress to close
ranks behind these bills
which Mr.. Eisenhower de-
scribes as pillars of his for
eign and defense policies.
Yet none even remotely meet
the Middle East situation as
it has been remorselessly
