ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST SITUATION
World Court Verdict On Oil
Dispute
Anxiously Awaited
London, June 9.
Britain is to have a "big think" about the Middle East which is at present viewed from a wider aspect than the Anglo-Egyptian dispute and which may assume a much uglier aspect if the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute goes against Britain at The Hague, an official source said today.
The source said that Britain's Middle East policy must at present be viewed as part of the Western nations' policy of containment of Russia and not simply as a regional affair.
The Western nations have completed two major steps in the containment of Russia by signing the Japanese and German treaties and it is essential now that attention be given to "gaps" in the Middle East and South-East Asia, tho official said.
The Middle East would be representatives in the Middle discussed from this. point of East in London next week and view during the conference here that a similar meeting of French
