Kremlin plans Big Power police in Mid-East

THE SOVIET government yesterday announced its detailed proposals for big-power policing of the Middle East.

These amount to a plan for the three major imperialist powers—the United States, Britain and France - to work with the Stalinist bureaucracy in a military stranglehold to crush the Arab Revolution.

The Soviet proposals suggest a United Nations armed force and demilitarized zones which 'give no advantage to either side' The advantages, of course, accrue to the big oil monopolies who want a cessation of hostilities for the time being.

They happen to be based in the three imperialist countries with whom the Kremlin proposes to share control.

Guarantees According to the Moscow Stalinists, everything_ will depend on direct guarantees by the Four Powers or by the UN Security Council' (which is, of course, their direct instrument).

These guarantees are that the Stalinist bureaucracy does everything in its power to actively obstruct the mass movement both politically and militarily, and that its agents the world's Communist Parties work against any movement of solidarity with the Arab_peoples in their fight against imperialism and Zionism.

As always the Soviet bureaucracy puts its own agreements with imperialism before the interests of the revolutionary masses.

It does this today, even though the US is flying in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of arms to the reactionary Hussein reigme in Jordan, arms which will be used in his effort to crush the Palestinian liberation movement.

Opportunism Hussein, with this aid behind him, is using the opportunism of the nationalist guerrilla leader Arafat to prepare the final onslaught on the impoverished Palestinian masses on the East bank of the Jordan. Last Tuesday Hussein and Arafat signed an agreement which virtually amounts to récognition of Arafat as the only legitimate guerrilla leader.

Hussein, despite vague promises of changes in the system of government, persisted at Thursday's press conference in attacking what he called 'political infiltration' into the guerrilla movement.

This was obviously a reference to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

When their leaders, Habash and Hawatmeh, last week had a price •put on their heads, Hussein's spokesman referred to them as 'political parties with gun in hand', which could not be tolerated.

This then is the prospect held out by the treacherous Stalinist bureaucracy: to work for a diplomatic and military settlement which leaves intact the imperialist outpost in Israel, accepts the ÜS arms build-up, and leaves the most reactionary feudal forces free to crush the mass movement against imperialism.

Yassir Al E-W de THE RECENTLY concluded agreements between Russia and France and Germany as well as the Middle East treaty have laid the basis for a concerted application of pressure against the Chinese People's Republic by the Soviet bureaucracy.

Important White House officials concede that the USSR now has more troops facing China than it has facing Europe.

Concentrations of troops, backst antillery and leastic bases have steadily built up since 1965.

Despite the accrediting of a new Soviet ambassador to China and other 'friendly' gestures, diplomatic pressure against the Mao regime is being intensified since the defeat of the Liu Shao fac-
