He has demanded of the other hand that the various states be offered guarantees that any breach of the peace in the near and Middle East by any. Agar Essen forces Wilt be resolutely condemned and these arguments May very Well be insincere hut they Are unquestionably popular with the arabs. Very few arabs Are communists but most of. Them seem unimpressed with warnings from the West that communism is a serious menace to their life and Independence. They Are More impressed with the Harmony Between or. Khrushchev s Public statements find or. Nasser s. In their efforts to re make the Ahab East they feel themselves blocked not by or. Khrushchev but by the West. For the leading Western nations anxious to Check Russia and to preserve their influence and interests for the most part perfectly legitimate interests in the Middle East have sought to achieve these ends by holding positions of Power in the area or by linking Arab states with themselves in defensive anti communist alliances. These positions and alliances have in turn become obstacles to the arabs in their quest for Unity. X neither London nor Washington deliberately sought a quarrel with Arab nationalism. On the contrary sir Anthony Eden might fairly be described As the godfather of the Arab league. But. His original War time policy has been transmuted into something else As the Western Powers reacting defens ively to the general soviet pressure have come to rely More and More upon particular anti communist Arab states and client dynasties. But except on the Periphery of Arabia these alliances Are now rubble. What have they left behind in Iraq British influence today is a great Deal less Ihan h is in say Neutral India. Relying on neutrals to stay really Neutral has of course its risks and Western Europe is dependent upon Middle Eastern Oil in a Way 1ha it was never dependent upon Britain s control of India but Are the alliances and related arrangements any real guarantee that the Oil will flow the Only solid Assurance is the fact that the arabs depend on West european More Trade and investment underlining a mutually profitable economic relationship will do far More to guarantee the Oil Supply than any diplomatic or military policy which can be replied to by Arab sabotage of Wells and pipelines. It is often said in Washington that or. Khrushchev s interest in the Middle East is purely and simply the interest of a trouble maker. By making trouble he weakens and embarrasses his Western opponents. He is Able to make trouble because the West is vulnerable in a Way he is not. The West has positions to defend he has Only a thesis that neutralise and Arab Unity Are Beautiful things. If the West is to Challenge or. Khrushchev successfully 3t will have to develop alternative policies this surely Means an. Attempt to come to honorable terms with Arab National ism. It Means accepting Arab neutralise. This May not be an easy course to change to our relations with Israel and with Turkey will complicate matters a Good Deal. But there is no doubt that some change is the Only Way to make things less easy for or. Khrushchev. And it offers the arabs an Opportunity to concentrate at last on the material improve ment of their impoverished society with As or. Pearson suggested last Friday development Aid from other countries. Before we despair let it. Be remembered that the Marshall plan with which or. Pearson compared such a program was successful in saving Europe from a postwar disruption that would surely have been social and political As Well As economic. If the leadership of the West is understanding and constructive our difficulties Are great but in no was in surmountable. The Only thing we have really to fear is fear itself the sort of that produces a or nip inflexibility in dealing with friends enemies and neutrals alike. Footnotes from the week s cables by f. 5. M.

The most reliable estimates give Arabia an annual crude Oil production of million barrels As com pared with 72l million Lor the soviet Union. If the Oil output of Rumania is counted Ben the soviet Union is already in Bird place after the United states and Venezuela. Soviet Oil production has in creased by 15 per cent since the end of air War As against an eight per cent increase in the non communist world. During the last three years the average soviet increase has upon around is per cent. Thus dip soviet Union which recently produced just about enough Oil to Supply the needs of her military machine was Able last year to Export Over million barrels to non communist Consu mers.

The members of the water District administration Board who Are in fact the mayors of the sub Urban municipalities implied that mayor Stephen tuba de of Cir de far too Long before pro claiming water rationing for Winnipeg. In something of a fit of pique they decided that if. Was not right for the mayor of Winnipeg to be statutory chairman of Board. They would like to choose their own chairman. On the second Issue mayor Juba is ready to fight he the mayor of Winnipeg to remain automatically head of the water Board. All this is really nothing More than a smokescreen which obscures the real Point at Issue. While mayor Juba appears to be ready to blame City Council for the delay in rationing a likelier interpretation is that lie took the Opportunity of delay in order to impress upon the suburban members the Folly of trying to run the water District without it truly effective metropolitan authority. Hodun what on this score stir ply hire can be Little argument. Very summer when water pressure becomes Low the citizens of greater Winnipeg must wait for each individual Council to i decide when and if it will join the rationing scheme.

The president and or dul Les would face a lighter task at the Security Council if the american forces were with drawn before the grand in quest began on intervention in Lebanon. No such pleasant Prospect is feasible under the Rush of events. The imperious Independence of Premier de Gaulle for once is welcomed lather than resented in Washington. Ii Means on the lowest reckon ing that the United states not stand alone in presenting objections to Moscow. More important still France is gaining time for top West to a Terai e some constructive ideas for dealing with the Arab world. These ideas Are still vague and imprecise but they Are All based on a common Recagni As hip right course in the concerning Grindstone a Grindstone is a Good thing for any Man but a rarity now a Days.
