ENTRY TOJVIID-EAST DIPLOMATIC INTRIGUE U.S. COMMITTEE’S SURVEY (10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 14. "Soviet diplomacy is bending every effort to move the Russian Army into the Middle East and the Kremlin will manufacture situations enabling it to do this if the situations fail to develop." declared the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Sub-committee's report published today The report, which surveys communism in the Middle East, adds: "The risk of military counter-action or fullscale war will most surely have been carefully pondered and boldly incurred because the potential gains outweigh all the calculable losses with the hope of a world Communist State, managed from Moscow appearing on step closer to realisation.” The sub-committee, which toured the Middle East in 1947, contends that Moscow places little reliance in local Communist groups in the Middle East and will rely on the Red Army to achieve its aims. The report says that Soviet support for the partition of Palestine is designed to create chaos in the Middle East and to establish the partition as a precedent which could later be invoked to Soviet advantage.
