MAIL TRIBUNE MfftforJ, On, TiranJiy, November 20, 1958 S In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Perhaps we'd better talk a j little m this space today about foreign affairs. Some interest ing situations are shaping up in the news. For example: West Berlin and the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan. i I1TEST Berlin - all of Berlin, ! " for that matter - is one j of those impossible things that just COULDN'T be' per mitted to happen in a world supposedly run by reasoning people, but DID happen. - West Berlin is a little island of Western freedom entirely surrounded by communist slavery. r'S A tONG, sad story much too long to be gone into in detail here. It started at Yalta, where we turned over much of mid Europe to Russia, presumably in an effort to get her into the war with Japan. When the Germans surrendered, Germany was divided into four occupation zones tne American, the British, the French and the Russian. Ber lin, the capital, although en tirely surrounded by Russian occupied territory, was also divided into four zones - Brit ish. French, American and Russian. - This impossible situation still exists. IT REMAINS a festering sore in international rela tions for a perfectly simple reason. West Berlin has be come an Island of Western ir Miternrise orosoerity and relative happiness in a sea of rnmmunist misery. . That situation gripes Rus sia. It gripes her particularly herause the highest ambition of the poor devils of Germans who are compelled to live in communist East Germany is to get over into West Berlin and live happily ever after wards. . That doesn't look good for rommunism. So Russia is per petually seeking (without ac tually going to snooting wan in make West Berlin such a hot potato that the Allies (to use a World War 2 term) wiu Hrnn it and eet out. That's the long and the short of it. llfHAT of the Anglo-Egyp- tian Sudan? That also is too long to be gone into in detail here. IT BOBS into the news be cause of what is known in diplomatic language as a "coup" that has just taken place. ("Coup" is a French word that has a wide range of meanings. Among other things, it means a SUDDEN RT-nW. French is the lan guage of international diplo macy, and so sudden develop ments have come to be known among the diplomats as "coups.") " In this particular coup, a desert chieftain has seized power in the Sudan. There is a possibility that he may have done so to keep Nasser from grabbing the Sudan as a part of his United Arab Republic, which is his baby. He hopes to use the United Arab Re public as a stepping stone to his goal of becoming another Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin or what have you. IF YOU want to know why the Sudan is tempting to Nasser, take a look at your map. The SUDAN CON TROLS THE HEADWATERS OF THE NILE. The Nile river is Egypt. Without the waters of the Nile, Egypt would be ALL desert instead of being only part desert. It should be added that Nasser wants ALL OF AFRI CA. So does Russia. Nasser wants all of Africa in order to make him a very much bigger big shot. Russia wants all of Africa FOR COMMUNISM. Without the Sudan, it will be harder to gain possession of all of Africa. , Thats' about the long and the short of the Sudan business.
