THE GENEVA SMILE COVERS AN INTRIGUE
By Simon Maynard
EHIND the story of Soviet Russia's new dip- lomatic drive in all parts of the Middle East lies a sordid tale of arms smuggling as unsavoury as anything witnessed in the days of Basil Zaharoff. Indeed so formidable is the evidence of this and so sensational would be the detailed disclosures that together they would form the most scathing indict- ment of Russian policy at any time since World War I. But we are living in an era of "co-existence," say the diplomate. Therefore, talk of such goings- on is "unhelpful." So there are no White Papers on this traffic, no denunciations by Western statesmen1
at least, not in public.
Privately, however, Western European
the
nations and the United States have been shocked at the reports they have had from their own Intelligence agencies. They know now that Communism is behind all Arab nationalist movements in the Middle East and North Africa.
·
The stark truth is that Russia, through the satellite countries, is steadily feeding arms to Egypt, Afghanistan, Syria, French Morocco and Algeria. Some of this trade in weapons — as for example, to Egypt is openly admitted. But a great deal of it is furtive and under cover.
Czechoslovakia is playing the main role in supplying these arms. The munition factories of this highly prized Mid-European arsenal are a vital factor in the Arabs' ability to hold down large num- bera of well-equipped French forces in Morocco and Algeria.
From Prague, Berlin, Tangier and Beirut come messages from Western Intelligence agents. They all tell the same story that Czech weapons are being shipped to the Rumanian Black Sea port of Varna and loaded on to freighters which carry the shipments to Tangier, whence they are smuggled into French Morocco via the narrow, barren strip of Spanish Morocco.
More arms are finding their way into Syria, where a Communist coup d'etat is always on the cards, and Afghanistan. These weapons consist not only of rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, but of machine-guns and high explosives.
But the news of what future supplies will look like shows just how seriously organised this traffic is. A consignment has just left Varnia which in- cludes anti-tank guns and light artillery suitable for we in mountain terrain.
The weapons are disguised as general cargo, principally machinery, and are unloaded without difficulty in the free port zone of Tangier. From here they are smuggled out of the port into French
·Morocco with the connivance of local officiala.
This is an extraordinary state of affairs which ought to be stirring NATO Headquarters to action and protests. For Tangier, an international zone, is run by a Committes of Control comprised of the Ministers of USA, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
These countries are all on the side of the West, and most of them are members of NATO. Yet what are their representatives in Tangier doing about this appalling and flagrant arms smuggling? Apparently, nothing.
Remember that Tangier was originally “in- ternationalised" because, at one time it was the powder magazine of the Old World. When the atomic era made the Straits of Gibraltar strategically less important, Tangier lost some of its importance.
But it is still a key port in this area. And NATO troops are to be found in Morocco and Algeria. So why is this arms smuggling tolerated? · United action by the Western Powers could stop it overnight,
Soviet policy in the Middle East is being con- ducted not by Mr Molotov, whose star is waning, but by a ruthless and keen contender for the post of Russian Foreign Secretary — 49-year-old Shepilov, editor of Pravda and a prominent member of the Communist Party's Central Committee.
It was Shepilov who went to Cairo this summer for the Egyptian liberation celebrations. While there he held talks on arms supplies and talked of forming a Soviet “cultural bureau”, in Cairo.
