The part this dangerous situation plays In the struggle between East and West la described in the following artl cle. third in a series by Kingsbury Smith, General European Manager of International News Service who has just made a fact-finding trip hrough the Arab states. Turkey and Israel. By KINGSBURY SMITH INS European General Manager, (Copyright 1951) ANKARA.

greatest immediate danger to peace in the Near East today is the Arab refusal to become reconciled to the existence of Israel on the shores of the Holy Land. Grave fears prevail among American and other Western diplomats in the area that the recent assassination of King Abdullah of Jordan may lead to a resumption of Arab hostilities against the Jewish state. The ill-fated King, who was shot through the heart in Jerusalem by an Arab terrorist whose motives remain mysterious, was the strongest restraining influence in the Arab world in respect to Israel. He was the man on whom Western diplomatic hopes centered to lead the Arab nations eventually into peaceful relations with the Jewish state. It would have been a tough task even for Abdullah.

A survey of sentiment in the Arab countries has convinced this correspondent that the issue of Israel will keep the Near East in a state of turbulent tension for a long time to come. This burning issue is fanning the flames of religious fanaticism and fostering fierce nationalism. It is blinding the Arab leadership and people to the danger of Soviet imperialism. It is serving as Soviet Russia's strongest, instrument for undermining the influence and prestige of the Western world in the Near East. It is turning the Arab world toward neutrality with respect to the greater issue of the global struggle between Russia and the West.

Behind the fear and fury of the Arabs over this issue is the con vlction that Israel, if left alone, in destined to develop into the dominant power in the Near East. This worries the Arab leaders not only from the viewpoint of nationalism, but because of the effects which the creation of a nation with a high standard of living is likely to have on their own destitute masses. Arab leadership is fully aware of the progressive spirit which prevails in Israel today and which this correspondent witnessed on every hand from the shores of the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem. Pear of it is based on two major premises First that the steady influx of refugees into Israel, now averaging 20,000 per month, will in years to come cause the tiny stntc to burst at the seams and overflow at the territorial expense of the Arab states: Secondly, but no less important, that the tremendous vitality, will to work hard, and courage to fight shown by the new Jewish nation will lead Israel to become politically. economically and militarily the most powerful nation in the Near East.

Having tested vain their military strength against the infant Jewish state a time when it was far weaker than it is today, the Arabs are developing a sense of frustration about the future. Denied by the Western powers the arms they would like to secure for another effort to drive the Jews into the sea. the Arabs foresee themselves in the -role of the American Indians. They are themselves doomed to be driven farther and farther back toward ultimate oblivion by the pressure of a pioneer people inspired by participation in the birth of a nation. Tel Aviv officials contend there is no reason for the Arabs to fear Israeli expansion because there is I plenty of land available to handle the incoming refugees in the Jewish state as it now exists They add that Israel is unlikely to face an over population problem for at least twenty years.

That's the rub for the Arabs They are thinking twenty, thirty, fifty years ahead, and the future frightens them. As for the economic threat. Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett told the writer in an exclusive interview in Jerusalem that his government would be prepared to cooperate with the neighboring Arab states in a joint program for raising the standard of living if the Arabs would make peace. them Join us in the march 01 Sharett said. Syrian Premier Khalcd Azam asserted in an interview with Inter national News Service that as long as "the Jews talk about expanding tc the Euphrates (which empties into the Persian there will be a "constant threat to peace in the Near Violence still is widely recognized among the Arab masses as a legitimate instrument of revenge.

Most militant of all the religions, Mohammedism teaches in the Koran holy book that "the sword is the ke; of Heaven and of Hell: a drop of blood shed in the cause of God. a night spent in arms is oi more avail than two months of fasting and It is not surprising under the circumstances thRt men like Sharett and Israeli Chief of Staff General Yigal Yadin feel that Israel must be on Its guard. "We live in a state of very nervous Sharett said have had armistice agreements with the Arab nations now for two jears, but no progress is being made towards conclusion of peace treaties. Israel's point of view, those armistice agreements were based on the assumption they would lead to peace within a reasonable period of time. do not believe the Western powers can afford to disregard the potential danger of this situation in the Near Asked what he thought the United States should do, Sharett replied: American government should bring pressure to bear on the Arab states to conclude peace with Israel.

example, there is a bill pending now before Congress to grant military and economic aid to the Arab states. rider should, in my opinion, be attached to this bill making the granting of such aid conditional on the Arab at least starting peace negotiations with More Freedom Balloons Freed illion etjple (Tomorrow: Is the Near East condemned to Soviet occupation in event of a 3rd World War?)
