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.

this year's edition abounds in such
cherished elements as bareback
riders. Arab acrobats, trained
seals, elephants, clowns and nu

Its bareback riders are the fa

To delight the young in neart oi

Miracles on wheels are performed
by the Six Cycling Frielanis. There
is a double measure of perch-pole
acrobatics by the Victorias and

Events aloft embrace a wide
variety of thrillers. There is the
solo trapeze artistry of Princess
Tajana, the teeth suspension spins
and whirls of the Sikorskas, the
highly coordinated aerial adagio
action of the Rose Gold Trio, the
graceful precision of the Flying

Besides the comedy overtones of

the antic accents ot uene nan
