COMMUNIST DANGER IN MIDDLE EAST
Solid Anglo-American Front Is Needed
London, Jan, 16.—A high British military authority today said the British Government believed a solid, common Anglo-American policy in Palestine was desperately needed. He suggested that an informal, high-level American-British meeting appeared to be more necessary than a meeting between Président Tru· man and Marshal Josef Stalin. He added quickly that there had been no official discussion of such a meeting.
The informant voiced the opinion of one high British military man on the present state of the Palestine situation and American-British relations re- sulting therefrom. He indicated that when Sir Oliver Franks, the British Am- bassador in Washington, saw President Truman last week, British fears over possible deterioration of relations with the United States was outlined frankly. The informant made no attempt to conceal what he felt Britain's basic motives to be in the Middle East, which are based on fears that the situation might get out of control and became a base for Communist operations.
