Whether the United States was j
| engaged in a scientific race or not,|
; there can be little doubt that word
the Russians had successfully
j launched a space satellite came as]
something of a shock in some
quarters.
A majo portion of American
policy has been based on superior-
ity of American technology. The
very basis for American di'.'ense,
for instance, is the conviction that

Crisis In Syria
Suddenly pales
In Significance
By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
The Syrian crisis has paled in
significance at the I'N and else-
where. Curiisity about the real in-
tentions of this or that Arab group
is waning. There is even possibili-
ty that both power groups will
come to an understanding on the
troubled area, a strict hands off
agreement.
Many Arab leaders friendly to
the West realized that the leftist
push ill Syria ipened the door for
Soviet penetration. They would
have given much not to see it hap-
pen but they couldn't bring them-
selves to admit officially that it
had taken place.
That has been the great tragedy
about the Kisenh iwer program for
the middle east. It got twisted in
a crosscurrent of Arab nationalism.
All that was needed was a polita-al
j foothold, a frank demand on the
I part of menaced nations for us to
I make a stand. It never came, n >t
from the Arab states. They wanted
us to make a stand hut they ilid not
want to be identified with it in
any conceivable way.
Western arms were sent to Le- j
baiion and Jordan. Scheduled de-1
liveries to hai]—a member of the
Western-sponsored Baghdad pact,
were speeded. But at no time did i
these states mention publicly that,
they wanted these arms to make
sure that leftist Syria did not em- i
bark on an adventure in their di- I
rection.
Only Turkey—a non-Arab nation
—stated the case clearly and fear |
lessly. It ignored Russian threats j
in the matter. It mentioned its.
alarm in a policy speech at the I
l'nited Nations.
The plain truth is that if the j
l'nited States loses inteiest in the I
middle east—and it might—the i
whole complexion of things will'
change. ,The Arabs will lose what J
they like to consider a hidden prop. '
Any complaint they have about |
high-handed methods will not be I
taken to heart. They will lie told !
to take their complaint to the l 'nit-
ed Nations.
It is quite evident that this eoun- .
try cannot stretch its capabilities j
to the breaking point. The time |
may come when the nations of
the middle east will haw to tackle'
their problems directly, without)
help ir interference, and on the !
basis of the realities at hand.
the United States has a technolog-
ical suneriority which will offset
sheer Russian manpower.
Eight vearsago, along came the
Soviet Union with the atomic
bomb, long before American esti-
mates said it was possible. There
was some question of the Soviet
Union having got a leg up in its
atomic research by pilfering Amer-
ican seoTels.
Now, yalyng comes the Soviet
Union vvmf the first space satellite
in human history, a project on
which the L'nited States certain-
ly was spending considerable en-
ergv.
The latest development sug-
gested two things:
First, that we don't know as
much about Russian capability as
we might. Only three months ago.
•for instance, the word in Washing-
ton was that Russia was substan-
tially behind the United State.!
in missile research, a view whico
conflicts sharply with the Russian
moon zooming around the earth.
And launching of a Soviet moon
suggests that it may be time for

the L'nited States to re-evaluate
the disposition of its energies.
No doubt the L'nited States does
have u larger ami more productive
technological and industi ial plant.
Ami it may be assumed that the
United States could have developed
a space satellite more quickly,
although in matters of research,
it is never certain where a break-
through will come, and volume of
research is no guarantee of suc-
cess. It may be a lonely group of
thinkers in some backwater lab-
oratory who will come up with the
key to success.
But the 'iuct is that the United
States was unwilling to channel
so large a share of its technologi-
cal capacity into the development
of an artificial moon. At a time
when Russia presumably was foil-
ing full speed ahead, the United
States was looking around ror ways
to cut back on costly missile de-
velopment. urograms.
There is y tendency to think of
Hussiahs as a people composed
mostly of backward peasants, just
| emerging 'from a feudal system.
! To some extent, this is true. And
| the very willingness of the Soviet
j government to spend heavily on
I technology has restrained the stan-
i dard of living in Russia.
