THURSDAY. AUGUST 7, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 11 A U.S. Can Still Profit In Middle East By Taking Look At Own Weaknesses By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign Newi Analyst American thinking on the Mid dle East has been befuddled by labels and lines. The result is that on the verge of a fateful summit meeting Unit ed States policy in the Arab East teems a mass of confusion. The hour is late, but American policy still can profit by taking a candid look at its own weaknesses. If the United States fails to do this, the sense of frustration be hind many Arab actions conceiv ably can bring about a situation with grave consequences for West ern Europe. The waves of nationalism and Nasserism are not as such the main U. S. concern. It is rather how to prevent these forces from leading to a clear boviet break- through. And how to prevent the I Soviets from capitalizing on un ending turmoil to the extent that one day they can hope for a com manding influence over the area's resources. For years American policy makers seemed to approach the Middle East as If they were deal ing with the practical-minded cit izens of west Germany. The United States seemed to see no issue but communism and anti- communism. Anything not totally down the line for U. S. policy in the Middle East became ami Western. For years the United States captivated by the notion that hy pothetical military lines were pro tection against violent lacas, ai ompted to push Arab countries into military pacts. The attempts failed. The United States then helped put together an agreement called the Baghdad Pact, ironically tak ing its name from a city where it was opposed by probably 90 per cent of the literate population. This pact was supposed to be a bulwark against communism, but Arab nationalists saw it as an ex cuse to perpetuate Western mili tary power in the Arab world. Invariably the United States and Britain turned up on the side of unpopular men. causes and re gimes. To the United States, Nuri Said of Iraq was pro-Western. Therefore he deserved all-out sup port. To many Arabs, Nuri Said was a onetime heroic Arab na tionalist leader who surrendered his right to leadership by becom ing a creature of British policy. American policy refused to face up to the fact that Nuri's dictator ship was opposed by an over whelming majority of Iraq's lit erate population.

In Jordan, young King Hussein ruled a country created by the British arbitrarily from Arab ter ritorya strange little country wun no real reason lor existence. Hussein was "anti-Communist." Therefore he was entitled to all out American support. Only British-American support keeps the courageous young King auve. The United States has invested heavily in Hussein about 130 mil lion dollars. All this was commit ted since 1953. and more than half of it since the April 1957 crisis. The cost is mounting. To protect the shaky investment, the United stales must spend more and more. American diplomacy permitted itself to be frightened by Arab nationalism and panicked by the threat of communism. This pro duced a doctrine purporting to de fend the Arabs against the threat of Lommunist military attack. But no military attack seemed in pros pect while the Communists were making strides with their political and economic infiltration. When an internal political fight between outs and ins broke out in Lebanon, U. S. policy immediate ly professed to see pro-Western and anti-Western outlines in it. It did not start that way. Indeed, much of the rebel opposition was definitely anti Communist and friendly to the West. The policy tended to force the rebels more and more into atti tudes inimical to the West. Lack ing any understanding from Wash ington, or London, they sought support from Gamal Abdel Nas ser and got it while the Soviets cheered on the sidelines. Before the rebellion reached its critical staee. it had taken on a definite Nasserist tinse. I Once again, American policy hitched itself to a personality rather than to a principle. The United States cast its lot with President Camille Chamoun. whom the opposition suspected of wanting to perpetuate himself in office. By the time the Iraqi explosion came there seemed little for the United States and Britain to do but intervene with force in Leb anon and Jordan. But for British intervention in Jordan, Hussein likely would have shared the fate of his slain cousin, Faisal ot Iraq Without American intervention in Lebanon, it is likely the Iraqi eruntion would have produced shot in the arm tor a reDei pusn to overthrow Chamoun by force. There is some thought that the intervention may have forestalled a Soviet plan to infiltrate volun teers" into Lebanon from the Mos lem Soviet areas of Central Asia. But the need for intervention, with its melancholy parallels to the Soviet action in Hungary, arose in part at least as the re sult of a long series of American miscalculations. And it is ques tionable if intervention served American policy in the long run. Arab nationalism win not oe stopped by force. Force simply will make it eager to rally itself under the banner of extreme nas serism. Ud to now the Soviets have en ioved themselves in the Middle East situation. With a summit mir-tin in nrosoect. thev will con tinue to enjoy themselves unless the United states dramatically seizes the initiative. w "Mr'fcV V V -v Shrine Circus Assembles Top International Stars ilni vjusiaal True to the age-old traditions of circus glory is the 1958 folack Brothers Circus with its new in ternational assemblage of top Spangleland talent.
