Today and Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
BOUHGUIBA AND NASSER
FromTunisia, which has been
celebrating the first anniversary
of its national independence,
one could see the crisis in Jor
dan
ti
Walter Lippmana
in an in-
teristing and
revealing per
spective. Here,
more clearly
perhaps than
anywhere else
in the Arab
world, there
exists the will
to work out
the national
future with enmity towards, in
deed by accommodation with,
Western Europe and the United
States. Under Habib Bourguiba,
and his party which is called
the Neo-Destour, the Tunisian
nation is turned away from the
road on which Nasser is attemp
ting to take all the Arab peoples.
If there is an alternative to the
revolutionary movement which
precipitated the crisis in Jordan,
it is the kind of progressive na
tionalism, energetic but not fan
atical, which the liberators of
Tunisia represent.
The critical and dramatic
question is whether the future
of the community of Arab peop
les lies with Nasser or with
men like Bourguiba, with the
supernationaiists and the revo
lutionaries working out of Cairo
or with the nationalists and the
reformers in the various coun
tries. The answer 'to that ques
tion depends only in some meas
ure on what the United States
will contribute to the develop
ment of Tunisia. In much great
er measure the answer depends
on how far-sighted and generous
is the French policy. In the final
reconing the answer may be
determined by what happens
next door to Algeria.
fT ONE GENERAL, conclusion
" we can, I think, be certain.
It is that foreign intervention,
be it Soviet, French, British or
American is secondary to the
internal conflict within the Arab
countries. In all of them, though
in differing degree, the issue is
raised by two great conflicting
tendencies. The one, as exempli
fied by Bourguiba, is to main
tain the existing political and
social order of the national lib
erators, and in some degree to
reform and Improve it.
The other tendency, which is
propelled from Cairo, is revolu
tionary. It aims not only at the
overthrow of the existing politi
cal order, as was attempted re
cently in Jordan, but also at the
creation of a revolutionary im
perialism which would make
Nasser in Cairo the master of
th Arab wdrld.
In Tunisia the progressive na
tionalism of Bourguiba provides
a genuine and promising altern
ative to the revolutionary move
ment which Nasser is leading.
Where there is no such alterna
tive, as for example in Jordan
itself, there is not much left to
do except suppress the revolu
tionary forces by martial law,
and to sit as long as possible
on the lid of the cauldron.
BOTH' the Soviet .Union and
the United States are invol
ved in the conflict between the
revolutionary forces and the es
tablished order.' Our policy is to
support the established order
against the revolutionary move
ments. Wherever we can, we
encourage the existing rulers to
be progressive and benevolent
and to try to raise the standard
of life among their people. But
when the ruling classes will not
be progressive and benevolent.
as for example in Saudi-Arabia,
we support them nevertheless
because they maintain the exist-

ing order as against the revolu
tionary and fanatically anti
Western popular forces which
Nasser excites.
.The Soviets, on the other
hand, support the revolutionary
forces wherever and whenever
they can do so without commit
ting themselves to military ac
tion or even to large financial
contributions. They support Nas
ser's revolution not because he
is a communist. They support it
because if Nasser succeeds, he
will ruin irretrievably the Wes
tern European and American po
sition in the whole Middle East.
It does not necessarily follow
that the Soviet Union could take
over what the Western nations
would lose. Nasser's revolution,
if he gains the momentum of
success, would probably produce
not a new social order but pro
longed disorder and . anarchy.
But from the Soviet point of
view this would mean that
America and Europe were no
longer in a strategic position to
threaten the soft under-belly of
the Soviet Union.
"NE OF THE questions we are
" bound to ask ourselves is
whether we must accept this his
torical fatalism, as one of the
unchangeable facts of life, this
contest within the Arab com
munity, with the Soviet Union
on one side, with ourselves on
the other. I must say that noth
ing has as yet come out of Mos
cow . which suggests that this
grim and dangerous contest can
be moderated, much less ended.
The latest official Soviet state
ment this week treats as aplot
against Arab independence our
support of King Hussein against
those who would overthrow Turn,
and bring Jordan under the
domination of Egypt and Syria.
But if nothing has come from
Moscow which suggests that ne
gotiations and arrangements are
possible, nothing has come from
the President and Mr. Dulles
which suggests that they have
any thought of negotiation and
an accomodation which would
recognize the indubitable na
tional interest of Russia in the
Middle East. Nothing has come
from them which suggests con
they have anything more con
structive in mind than a policy
of unconditional surrender.
I think well of what I under
stand we have done in Jordan.
But martial law under a little
king is not a durable order of
of things. We must look ahead,
and our position for the long
pull will be stronger, so it seems
to me, if we make it known that
the issues in the Middle East
about the canal, the oil, the
bases are not irreconcilable,
and that we do not exclude ab
solutely and forever an accomo
dation with the national interest
of Russia.

lan. An "ad lib" which was not
in the script occurred when the
last cake, a beautiful angel food,
was put on the auction block.
Just as bidding got under way
the cake slipped out of the auc
tioneer's hand onto the floor.
This incident made the perfect
ending for an evening filled with
suspense and laughter.

Film Festival Says
Clamp Is on Stripping
Cannes, France CU.R) Or
ganizers of the Cannes Film Fes
tival promised Saturday they
would clamp down with a firm
hand on any starlet caught strip
ping for photographers.
The stripping usually takes
place on an island off the Riv
iera resort. And the monks who
own the island have protested.
'Yesterday was picnic day at
the annual movie festival, the
day when photographers get the
chance to stock up on cheese
cake pictures for the rest of the
year. Starlets and cameramen
usually sail out to the island of
Lerins, off Cannes, to picnic and
photograph.
British starlet Simone Silva
started the stripping boom three
years ago by posing naked 1
the waist with an embarrased
Robert Mitchem. The tradition
has been carried on ever since
by various unknowns seeking to
break into movies.
Organizers revealed that the
monk's who own Lerins have de
manded that such goings on be
stopped or they will ban the
festival cavalcade from the is
land.
Italian Husband Goes
Back to His Side
Milan, Italy (U.R) An
Italian husband went back to
living on his side of the wall in
his apartment Saturday free of
desertion charges brought by his
wife.
A court ruled Friday that the
man, identified only as Alberto
M., was perfectly free to build
the dividing wall and isolate
himself from his wife. Alberto
said his wife insulted and beat
him and that "I was afraid of
her."

Spanish Painter Arrives
In Le Havre, France
Le Havre, France (U.R)
Spanish painter Salvador Dali
arrived here from New York
Saturday on his way to Spain to
seek inspiration for eight illus
trations he will do for a luxury
edition of Cervantes' Don Qui
xote. The self-proclaimed ' genius
said the central point of his in
spiration is now scallop shells.

On The Side By e. v. During
(Distributed by King Failure Syndicate, Inc.)
Are barbers smart business
men? Could the average tonsor
ial parlor owner use some good
business' advice? Ask your bar
ber what his opinion. Any
way, in one section of the coun
try all the barbers agreed to
stay open Saturday and close on
Monday. Then one barber began
to think the situation over. He
figured that Saturday was a bad
day for his business because so
many men went away for the
week end. So he decided to close
Saturday and keep open Mon
day. And so what? Well, sir, he
is now doing three times the
business on Monday that he pre
viously did on Saturday.
Presidents
Who do you think have been
the four greatest Presidents of
the United States? In what or
der? A poll on this query among
a number of educators in this
country had the following re
sult: 1. Abraham Lincoln. 2.
George Washington. 3. Franklin
D. Roosevelt. 4. Woodrow Wil
son., I can't go' along with that
rating. I would say the first
three were: 1. George Washing
ton. 2. Thomas Jefferson. 3.
Abraham Lincoln. I can't decide
on the fourth.
Sidelights
A remark frequently uttered
by wives in reference to their
husbands is, "I gave him the
best years of my life." What are
the best years of a woman's life?
It is said they are those between
the ages of 25 and 40 . . . Flat

used is claimed to be the
healthiest and most rest produc
ing way to sleep. I use one pil
low and sleep on my right side
and sleep like a log. Feel fine
in the morning, too. Never start
a quarrel at breakfast'. In fact,
at the morning meal I am
always in a generous and for
giving mood. Well, nearly
always.
Guide to Gals
Piscean (Feb. 20-Mach 20)
women have a strange magnetic
power of attraction. Men are in
trigued by Pisces females and
fall in love with them without
even knowing exactly why. Or so
say the stargazers. (Note Wom
en born under - Pisces include:
Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, El
sie Janis, Lily Langtry, Made
line Carroll, Jean Harlow and
Edna St. Vincent Millay.)
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Saw
it reported that two San Fran
cisco 'couples swapped matri
monial mates. Has there ever
been a play or film with a wife
and husband trading back
ground? A. The successful musi
cal show titled "So Long Letty"
by Earl Carroll had such a plot.
The featured players were Char
lotte Greenwood, May Boley,
Hal Skelly and Walter Catlett.
That play had a San Francisco
background. Perhaps matrimon
ial mate trading is an old San
Franciscan custom. '
Getting Fat
Not all bread is fattening. You
can eat plenty of pumpernickel
bread and it won't make you
fat. That is, if you don't put too
much butter on it. Take baked
potatoes. They are not fattening
either. It is the excessive amount
of butter people put on baked
potatoes . that increases their
weight.
Asides
According to the feminine
figure experts, a woman's bust
measurement should be five and
one half times her waist meas
urement. How's your memory
for film titles? What was the
title of the first film In which
Garbo talked? Advertising slo
gan for it was "Garbo Talks!"
How about the title of the film
for which was used the slogan
"Gable's back and Garson's got
him"?
