"NEW$PA P E R jPSjjk PUBLISHERS V-ASSOCIATION - -J MAIL TRIBUNE The Arab Refugees What's behind Soviet bloc arms sales to Egypt, reported offers of arms to Israel, Russia's sudden friendliness toward Turkey, its about-face on Tito. In large outline, the answer seems to be centuries old ; Czarist or Soviet, Russian policy is expansionist. And for centuries the principal object of Russian glo bal expansion has been a toe-hold on the Mediter ranean. Once that toe-hold were gained, Russian pol icy presumably would call for making the eastern Mediterranean, like the Baltic, a Russian lake. 0 IMPERIAL Russia for over 200 years was in freq uent conflict with the old Ottoman Empire as suc cessive Czars tried to push across the Black Sea to ward the Mediterranean. The Crimean War in which Great Britain, France, and Turkey defeated Czar Nicholas I's aspirations for protection over the "holy places" of Palestine and over the several mil lion Greek Christian subjects of the Sultan was really a struggle for control of the Dardanelles. It ended with the Treaty of Paris of Mar. 30, 1856, in which Russia agreed to the neutralization of the Black Sea. After Turkey's defeat in war with Russia in 1877 88, the Treaty of Berlin assigned to Russia the Turk ish districts of Kars and Ardahan. Russia also got Batum, still an important Russian oil port today. BRITAIN and France in World War I, when Turkey was allied with Germany, secretly promised to rvovicf "Russia flnnstantinonle. both shores of the Bos- thp Rnrrmpan roast and the Dardanelles. The snneomiPTit rprmnriation the Allies of the obligation to live up to these pledges. SnhspmiPTit.lv Russia, bv treatv returned Kars and Ar dahan to Turkey and the Turks agreed to allow the Russians to keep Batum. But in 1945, as World War I was drawing to an end, Russia was demanding from Turkey Kars and Ardahan, plus other Black Sea territoy, plus the Turk ish port of Trebizond, plus bases at the Dardanelles. Turkey rejected the demands and threatened to take them before the United Nations, but Soviet pressure on the Turks died out only in 1948. 17 LSE WHERE around the Mediterranean, Soviet 1-1 Russia over the years has made these major moves toward a Mediterranean foothold: 1. Arms aid and advice to the Spanish Republican government in the Spanish Civil War of the mid 1930's. 2. Post-World War II demand for trusteeship of the Italian colonies of Libya and Eritrea. This prob lem was not resolved until November, 1949, when a UN General Assembly resolution provided for the eventual independence of Libya and otherwise made arrangements for administration of the colonies. 3. Postwar political agitation m Italy and pres sure on Greece by means Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. The pressure on Greece, and the external pressure the Soviets brougnt to bear on Turkey gave rise of 1947. 4.. War of Nerves against Tito's Yugoslavia, be gun in June 1948. It was this policy the Soviets re versed when they began to woo Tito in 1954. Soviet Russia s expansionism is by no means lim ited to the Mediterranean in regard to the Baltic states, the Central European satellites, and the Far East. But the positive policies listed above, plus Soviet opposition to Turkish and Greek membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization and to the "northern tier" pact of Turkey, Pakistan, and Iraq, qualify the Mediterranean as quite as much a major Russian target as it was in the days of the Czars. E.R.R. Russia And The Mediterranean Of all the tough nuts to crack in the Israel-Arab conflict, none is tougher than the plight of the Arab refugees. They number about 900,000, most of them quartered in makeshift relief camps in the Gaza strip or near the frontiers in Jordan and other Arab states. Minimum subsistence is provided by a UN agency. TTHESE former residents of Palestine left it in 1947 48. Israel holds that they left voluntarily, persuad ed to decamp by Arab propaganda, and that the Arabs who stayed behind are glad that they did. The refugees insist that they had to get out to escape ter roristic activities of Israel extremists. The refugees have gone largely uncompensated for the homes, farms, farm animals, bank accounts and other property which they left behind and which were impounded. Israel, hard pressed economically, says that as much compensation has been given or offered as the state can afford. Also, that more could be vouchsafed if the United States would make a loan for that purpose, in the interests of peace. ""THE refugees want Israel to recognize their right to be repatriated, even though few of them, probab ly, would use that right. Israel maintains that with its total population of 1,700,000, including some 175,000 Arabs, the incursion of 900,000 more, most of them bitterly anti-Israel, would mean internal combustion that' would break up the state of Israel. However, Israel has permitted some 50,000 of the refugees to come back. It argues that the Arab states, wTith their large area, could absorb the others, but the Arab states say they can't accommodate more than the few they have assimilated.

Nonetheless, this new devel opment has clearly put an extra edge on the rather edgy political situa tion that is Joseph Also T ,. x waiting in Washington for President Eisen hower. Everyone in a key position has been and still is extremely chary about getting committed in any manner. Eut it is now possible opinions on the Republican fu ture that the President will hear from those who are closest to him on his symbolic return to Washington which lifts the Den ver ban on all political discus sion. The men around Eisenhower like all other R urally hope that the President's remarKabie recovery from his u e a r I axiacic will make it possible for him to run again. Unfor tunately, how ever, the odds will still be rather he a v y against Eisen hower agree ing to run, even if he gets the Stewart Alsop kind of medical certificate that would normallv clear the road. The truth is that the President himself did not want to run, and his wife and family were pas sionately opposed to his running, even before he had his tragic heart attack. The President's own reluctance, and the nleas of Mrs. Eisenhower and Maj. Eisen hower were being gradually over-borne when he went to Denver. All the Republican leaders in the country were shouting the call to duty in Eisenhower's ear. At that time, he regularly answered that there are nlentv of younger Republican leaders who are capable of finishing his job for him. But the constant appeal to his sense of duty was clearly overcomins his doubts. As reported in this space some weeks before his heart attack, the stage had been reached where an Eisenhower candidacy to succeed himself was all but inevitable, "unless Yip haH the kind of (physical) upset which would give greater force to the pleas of his wife and son." JTiHE importance of the heart attack is not so much that it has partly incapacitated the President, although this is des perately important. The real im portance of the heart attack, as one Republican politician has gloomily remarked, is that "you can t tell a man who s had a bad heart attack that it's his duty to run for the Presidency." In oth er words, Eisenhower is now wholly protected from pressure to run. He can therefore do as Today and By Walter THE GENEVA GAMBLE Mr. Dulles, and Mr. MacMil lan and Mr. Pinay as well, went to Geneva knowing that there was no chance whatever that the Soviet Un ion would ac cept their terms for the reunif icat ion of Germany. There is no warrant, there fore, for pain- Walter Lippmann ed surprise at the fact that Mr. Molotov has restated what was so obviously the Soviet posi tion while the President was talking to Bulganin at Geneva last July. Just to show how obvious it was even to one who was not in Geneva, I should like to quote from an article I wrote while the summit meeting was still in session: "The Soviet Union has rejected the Eden plan" and "the West is left with what is in facta gigantic gamble: wheth er time is on the side of Aden auer or of the Opposition to Ad enauer. The German Chancellor is playing for very high stakes for a German settlement on his own terms, for a Germany reunited within frontiers that are better than those of Pots dam, reunited under his govern ment in Bonn and under his party, rearmed within . NATO and when rearmed, the leading European power within NATO . . . What the Atlantic allies very much need is something lhat will reinsure their interests in case Dr. Adenauer's gamble fails, and a successor enters into direct negotiation with Moscow." "POR reasons which seemed compelling to them the West ern Foreign Ministers chose to. go to the Geneva conference By Joe and Stewart AIsop he pleases. Unless he had changed his mind in his hospital bed, what will please him most is to retire to Gettysburg. If he has in fact changed his mind and now desires to run, the talk about Eisenhower getting a new running mate will almost certainly prove to be empty non sense. The President likes Vice President Nixon far too well to inflict this sort of public humil iation on him. And making such a fuss about the Vice-Presidency would be an Implied admission that the state of the President's health was still rather doubtful. On the other hand, while there is no substance to the move to replace Nixon as a Vice-Presidential candidate, there is no discernible enthusiasm in the White House circle for Nixon as a Presidential candidate. Most of the President's closest advisers appear to believe that Nixon cannot get the independ ent vote. Hence they think that Nixon will be unable to lead the Republicans to victory if Eisen hower retires. TF THE President in fact, re- tires, therefore, it is probable that most of those around him will first try to persuade him to try to persuade Chief Justice Warren to become the Republi can candidate. Almost all Republicans agree that Warren would be their strongest candidate after Eisen hower, and the White House cir cle is particularly strong on this point. They feel, in truth, that Warren would be almost unbeat able, and the Democrats, holding their breath, secretly agree with this view. But the big question about Warren, of course, is whether he will consent to run, It is perfectly plain that War ren will not leave the Supreme Court, except at the direct re quest of the President who put him on the Court. It will be un like Eisenhower to make such a request, but in view of the opinions of his advisers, the odds seem to be about even that Eisenhower will try to persuade Warren to run if he decides not to run himself. AT" THE present moment, the Chief Justice is freely telling all and sundry that nothing will change his mind about staying on the Court. He means every word of it, beyond question. But no one on earth, including the Chief Justice himself, is in a po sition to forecast the Chief Jus tice's response to the kind of ap peal that the President can make if he chooses. The odds are against Warren's yielding, bu he may yield. Say the odds are even on the President making the appeal Say the odds are two to one against Warren yielding. That makes one chance in four of the Justice becoming the Republican candidate if Eisenhower does not run. Then, if both Eisenhower and Warren are finally eliminated it will be Vice-President Nixon against the field. And then most of the old Eisenhower-for-Presi- dent crowd, who do not fancy Nixon, will be searching the dark horse stable with a rather feverish intensity. (C) 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Tomorrow Lippmann with the old Adenauer terms, which they knew, which their experts knew, which every cor respondent knew, were not ne gotiable. After a visit to Mos cow in September, we may al most take it for granted that not even Dr. Adenauer himself can have failed to realize that reunification could not be had on his terms. So far as I have been able to find out, the reason why the Western Foreign Minis ters remained inflexible on the unnegotiable terms was that they feared ' the effect on the German opposition to Dr. Aden auer of any concession from them. In any event the gamble has failed. Unless there is some kind of brilliant improvisation by the westerners at Geneva, we are once again in the kind of position we were in when we stood so immovably on the Eu ropean army plan and saw it re jected by the French Assembly. The situation then was saved by Sir Anthbny Eden's diplomatic ingenuity. The situation we are now in will need a very bold statesmanship if it is to be saved. WHAT is at stake is our posi tion in Germany and the confidence of the Germans in our leadership of the Western coalition. For there is a very strong German opposition, by no means limited to the Social Democrats, which has never be lieved that we could prevail upon the Soviet Union to ac cede to Dr. Adenauer's terms. This German opposition has al ways maintained that Germany could not be unified as an armed state within the Western mili tary alliance. It has , always argued that German membership in NATO must be treated as a negotiable asset in dealing with the Soviet Union.

They Wash the Smoke To the Editor: With the State Sanitary Commission citing two Coos Bay lumber firms for air pollution, there'll be some saw millers wondering what to do about it short of going broke. But it can be done and not go broke, for one sawmill owner did just that. It's the Gamble Lumber Co. at Brewster, Wash., on the Columbia River some 60 miles south of the Canadian line. Dan Gamble ran it there for some 45 years when at last it was "sawed-out," both in tim ber and years. They were sit ting around the cook-house sup per table figuring how to get enough stock to fill a box-shook order when Dan said, "There's that pile - of rough lumber out back we can . . ." and he swayed into the arms of an em ployee, one of the old-time loyal, pride-of-accomplishment kind . . proud that he could do this last bit of service for Dan. So, his danghter Martha (Mrs. John Gebbers) took over, Mar tha whose name is more used by the lumbering fraternity of north central Washington than Gamble Lbr. Co. What to do? No more timber available "on the hill." So she proposed mov ing the mill back to the gulch on the town's north edge where Dan first had it, and this writer helped rock up the twin Scotch boilers for power. But the townspeople objected to the smoke and cinders from it, though the pay-roll would be most acceptable. Martha told them, "We'll just wash the smoke." And she did just that, force-drafting the burned gases from the dutch-ovened boilers to an upright steel washer that discharged all solids into the mill-pond. It's a most unusual sight to see the mill in operation, clean white steam pluming from en gine and shot-gun feed exhaust pipes, no smoke-stack or high cone burner with their, high po tential fire hazard polluting the air. Then come winter, the char coal cinders are drag-lined from the pond and distributed" by dump-truck over the extensive apple or c h a r d s thereabouts Proof enough that the plan pays off financially and also in com munity goodwill. F. J. Clifford, 1211 West Main st., Medford, Ore. Pound of Flesh? To the Editor: Armistice Day: Business as usual, and we all hope the business men of Med ford have salvaged their pound of flesh by keeping open this day. Now on Sunday they will go to church to show the people they put God before the dollar. It would be too bad if someone gave them the idea of canvassing the churches for a. concession just outside the door to set up their wares just in case someone had the idea of driving to Ash land to get a clean pair of sox on Sunday. And still they had the nerve to hang out the flag in front of their stores. Thank God we have the banks, city and county, who are willing to close, and let's not forget the barbers. Jess Flowers, Route 1, Medford, Ore. Soviet Union would not agree to German unification even out side of NATO. My own belief is that the Soviet Union will not agree to that now in view of the inner political weakness of the Western powers. But what Moscow would do now is not the first question. The first question is whether the German people will think we are making proposals that are not only sincere but are rational and practicable terms I for their own reunification. To make German membership in NATO negotiable would be to take a position that Moscow cannot reject without great loss of face in Germany. As long, on the other hand, as we stand fixed in. a position that is not negotiable, there will be in Germany a growing loss of confidence in our good sense, and even in our sincerity. OUR position is very difficult indeed. For if we concede German membership in NATO in order to promote German unification, we shall be faced with a deep dislocation of the NATO military structure. West ern Germany is the keystone of the structure, and if it were taken away, the strategical con-1 ception of NATO would have to be radically revised. The Western governments would con sider that an exorbitantly high price to pay for the unification of Germanv. On the other hand, if we stand pat on our present terms and, as Mr. MacMillan has said so hopefully, just continue to "lean" on the Soviets, we must be prepared to see increasing intercourse and direct negotia tion between the West and the East Germans.

Thomas McCamant, a dedicated and able birdwatch er, reported last week the fact that a flock of about eight large birds is roosting in tall elm trees on Orange st. near Fourth. Res idents of the area had called him to tell him about them, and he went to look at the birds. They roost in the daytime, and apparently fly out to eat during the evenings. Mr. McCamant identified them as black-crowned night herons, which he said are not particularly rare birds, although they are not listed as being in digenous to Jackson county. He said, however, that it is inter esting to find them roosting in the middle of a city. .
