Iceland & Mr. Dulles

Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is going to have his hands full to persuade Foreign Minister Emil Johnsson of Iceland that Amer- ican troops stationed in that coun- try under at 1931 defence agreement should be permitted to stay there. To bcciii with, international condi- tions in wliicli Iceland has any par- ticular interest have not changed much since the Icelandic Govern- ment first brought up the matter of withdrawal on the ground that in- ternational tensions had eased. For another thing, the status of NATO itself, which officially is responsible

l Then, too, it is perhaps a little l unfortunate that Mr. Dulles was selected as NATO's spokesman in the present negotiations; for there is no question whatcicr that since the Suez Canal crisis developed Mr. Dulles' stock has fallen considerably in public opinion of all European countries. His vacillating diplomacy may or may not have been the right thing in that particular crisis; but in any case there is widespread feel- ing that the United States did not back up its allies at a time of acute difficulty. This, we may be sure, has not gone unnoticed in Iceland or, for

member House. This was a situation ," which Mr. Smallwood publicly an- i ticipated, and which he professed to deplore. He even tried to give away I seat: by acclamation, an offer which ln' one instance at least was refused by an opposing candidate who now finds himself among the also-rans. This was a unique situation, in- - if ' dicative of Mr. Sma1lwood's supreme l assurance in the popularity he en- joys. But there is nothing strange l about the success of a well-entrench- ' ed administration in appealing to "' , the electors in a period of industrial S expansion, such as Newfoundland

ANOTHER BATTER TO HEAR FROM

Mediterranean Ferment

Harry 3. Elisa In the Christian Science Monitor

Obscured by the Suez crisis ls 5

the fact that almost every coun- try along the southern and eastern rim of the Mediterranean Sea to- day is at war. in revolt, or threat- ened by one of the two.

Of first importance in this re- gard is the technical state of war between Israel and Jordan, which since Sept. 10 has flared up in fight- ing in which at least 27 persons were killed. I

On Sept. ll. according to Jordan. an estimated 1.000 Israeli soldiers crossed the border in trucks and armored ears and blew up I fort- lfied Jordanian police post. killing II Jordanians and wounding 3 oth- ers.

Already Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns. United Nations truce chief, has declared that the lnraell raid appeared to be "an act of retalia- tion such as has been repeatedly

ondemned by the Security Coun- cil." The word "retaliation" re- ferred apparently to I charge by Israel that six of its soldiers were killed by a Jordanian patrol on Sep 10.

IN DENTS IIECUB

T e heavy Israeli attack on .Iur- dan was followed Sept. I3 by an II- nell charge that two Israeli guard- smen were killed by lnflltraturii from Jordan on the road between the Dead and Red Seen.

In separate Arab-Israeli actions during the past few days. llve Eg- yptian soldiers were reported kil- led In I clash Sept. 10, and one Israeli soldier was reported wound- ed in a patrol action Ilong Leban- on'I frontier Sept. 11.

These recurrent incident! under- line the'fact that the Suez Canal crlsl is far from the only tension point In the stnleglc Middle East. The danger of renewed warfare between Israel and the Arab states has been obscured. but not Illayed. by the dispute over Suez.

Also close to the explosion point In the eastern Medlterrano... Is the Island of Cyprus, where for many months Greek-speaking Cyprintes have been waglnn I campaign of terror to gain Enosls tunlon with Greece! for their inland homeland. CYPRIOT PROBLEMS

Britain. which governs Cyprus. has promised the islanders I large degree of self-govemment under the British Crown but has refused to grant Cypriots the right of self-

determination.

The situation is complicated fur- l

ther by the fact that Cyprus is Brit- ain' main staging base for its mil- itary forces in the Middle East. At present. therefore. even while Cyrpsu seethcs with revolt against British rule. troops continue to pour into the Is- land for possible Suez duty.

France also is having its share of difficulties In the Mediterrane- an. To the west of Egypt and Lib- ya. along the Mediterranean mast- linc, stretch the Arab-populated countries of Tunisia. Algeria. and Morocco.

Prompted by long and frequent- ly bloody campaign: by Tunisian and Moroccan natlonalilts, France has granted a la ge measure of independence to T male and Mor- occo. Juridlcally, however. Al- geria is considered by F. 'man

to be a part of metropolitcun,

Algeria, therefore. has not been granted independenc. quence Algerian nationalists are waging a full-scale revolt against Franch rule which has caused the stationing nf more than 300,000 French combat troops In Algeria. regime of President Nasser with formentlng and aiding the Alger- lan revolt through inflammatory Cairo broadcasts and through the lupply of arms to Algerian insur- tents.

Difficulties also are brewing for the rulers of oil-rich Arab lands lying to the east of Egypt. These rulers, principally of Saudi Arab- ia. Kuwait. and Iraq, find their populaces eager to sabotage Wes- tern 'oll installations In their coun- tries should Britain and France Iltack Egypt over Suez.

At the same time. the rulers of these lands depend upon In Is- sured Income from oil to main- taln the stability of their regimes. On the one hand they fear that the consequences of his act may threaten themselves.

All this adds up to I! picture of ferment In one of the most Impor- tant areas of the world. containing as It does three-fourths of the world's proven petroleum resour- ces and serving II I land bridge connecting the continent: of Eur- opa. Ali-lcI. and Asia.
