A federation of Turkey, Greece and Israel as a counterweight against the new Arab blocs was urged today by Prof. Nihat Erim, former Vice Premier of Turkey and influential member of the Republican Party.

Prof. Erim, an authority on international law, told a Republican rally that geopolitical conditions made such an alliance “imperative.” He said “these three countries could be a uniting counter-balance to the Arab and Slav blocs” in the Middle East.
