The International Meek
As experts of the US9 UK and France met to prepare the ground
for the London Conference of the three Foreign T 1nisters, it became
clear that a full soale review of Western cold war strategy was in
prospect. Meanwhile the outlook for a1timate peace in the Holy
Land was improved by Britain's simultaneous approval of Jordan's
annexation of Arab Palestine and Ig- ,e recognition of Israel..
25X6A
Since the Jordan elections, Iibdullah and Shiloah have aire6dy
held a secret meeting where the King indicated need for some time
to put his house in order and pacify Cabinet opposition before
resuming negotiations. Jordan will also have to face the wrath
of the Arab states at a meeting of the Arab League Political
Committee which Egypt has called to deal with Jordan's alleged
defiance of the League resolution in annexing, part of Palestine
With Iraq and Lebanon hesitant about bearing down on Jordan, the
Arab League will probably accomplish nothing beyond permitting some
of its members to breathe out fire and steam. British backing
should help Jordan to stand off these criticisms. while obstacles
still remain, the long run possibilities for resuming prograss
toward some working arrangement between the "friendly enemaees49 on
the Jordan should be improved by Britain's action.
