Columnist Marquis Childs argued that Soviet aggression, especially in the Middle East, negates any chance for a negotiated peace. He linked the Tel Aviv bombing to a Kremlin plot to drive Western powers from the region and cited Iran oil talks, Korea, and Indo China as factors shaping a slim prospect for peace in 1953 and beyond.
