Abstract

Jordan: Why the King Weeps
O'Kearney, John | October 12, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

Jordan is considered as a subordinate subject in the whole study of the U.S. foreign policy. U.S. policy, suggestively, must be judged in the light of questions fundamental to the interests of powerful cliques in the U.S. The main question is: how can American oil investments in the Near East be protected from the Arab's growing conviction that he is being cheated by alien exploitation of his natural resources? The lines of American policy in this area were first drawn in different days, with the enunciation of the U.S. President Harry S. Truman's Doctrine. The Dwight David Eisenhower's Doctrine of January 5, 1957, produced nothing new in an exterior sense; though there was further purpose in it.
