NEIGHBOUR NATIONS

WANT ALLIANCES

Cairo, May 18.

As a result of recent differences of opinion between certain Arab nations, Syria has greatly gained in importance and it can almost be described as being the political key to the Middle East.

On the one hand, Egypt and Saudi-Arabia are pressing Syria to enter into a tripartite pact with the object of offsetting the Turco-Iraqi pact signed in Baghdad earlier this year.

On the other hand, Iraq and Jordan are engaged in wooing Syria with a view to creating the long cherished fertile "Crescent Plan," This would mean a union between Iraq, Syria and Jordan.
