IRAQ is at Nasser's throat. radio and the Bagdad Iraq newspapers call him an agent of "imperialists," which is being interpreted as meaning that he is working for the British and Americans.
A likely tale, you'll think. But Nasser has to convlace listening Arabs that it is untrue.

URING the last war Churchill, Stalin, and
D'Roosevelt disagreed about many things. But
one thing they agreed on steadfastly and firmly.
They agreed that General de Gaulle was the most dificult human being they had ever had to deal with. Years have passed, Generi de Gaulle is still running true to form. He is still being difficult.
It is a donut very tiresome for everybody, that General de Gaulle will nut have the American racket bases in France unless he controls them and is let into atonic secrets,
Tiresome for the Americans. Tiresome for Nalo. Very tire- some for us who are apparently going to accept the rocket bases without any ticker of bargaining.
