WHERE THE WORLD'S DESTINY MAY BE SHAPING
Mediterranean
Sen
Tel Aviv is only 48 hours' sailing
time from Britain's great base at
Malta where her,strong Mediter-
ranean Fleet. has been alerted.
Some units were dispatched to
Cyprus and to Aqaba.
Negev Desert is protective bar-
rier to Suez Canal. Under its
sands lie rich deposits of oil, cop-
per, chrome, magnesium and
sulphur. American drilling crews,
working for British firms, sank
test wells south of Gaza before
Palestine fighting broke out.

Egypt has 1936
treaty. pledginc
Britain to give mil
itary aid in case of
aggression. When
Israelis fought in-
to Egypt at Rafe,
British threatened
Egyptian -aid pact
might be invoked.
King Abdullah invokes 1948
treaty with Britain, asking
to London for aid. A British
force is dispatched•to
Aqaba, on Palestine's border.)
Aqaba, tiny Red Sea port, lies astride
vital 6ri ish and routes in Middle
East. From it a road leads north to
Damascus, by-passing Palestine. If
an enemy should capture the Suez.
Canal, rood would be a lifeline for
transporting oil. Aqaba is also hub of
Old pilgrims' road, across the Sindi
.Desert to Mecca,which is now of high
strategic value to British. If Trans-
Jordan loses Aqaba the country be-
comes land -locked.
Red Sea
Control of Negev is key to
control of Red Seep source

and militarily criticdl-inate-
rials. Sea is rick in mag-
nesium, phosphates, bro-
mides and .otash.
