fought, Israel's new Army Chief of Starr, Ma,). Gen. Haim Laskov, told the foreign press association here today. While he granted the superiority of the Arab states' armaments, he insisted that the "human factor was most important" and that the Israel Army's training would become "more dynamic" as an answer to Arab superiority In arms quantity and quality. "You can b« sura we will look after our frontiers," the Chief of Staff promised. , Gen. Laskov Bald that the navy's equipment would be improved. Views Exchanged In Washington Israel • Ambassador Abba Eban and Acting Secretary of State Christian Herter exchanged views on the merger of Jordan and Iraq and other Middle Eastern developments. Further information on both th» Egyptian-Syrian and JordanianIraqi federations is awaited here by the U. S. Government before policy determinations are made. Opinion at IT. N. Many Western Informants at the United Nations were of the opinion that the move to bring Iraq and Jordan together might have been engineered by the United States in the hope of forming a counter-group against t h r United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria. Several Western diplomats pointed out that, since both Jordan and Iraq as separate states are dependent tm the-Unlted States for military aid, a merger would not be permitted by Washington to use its military strength for a n ' attack on Israel. Some diplomats here were conceding that Israel was in danger nevertheless, sirlce If one of the Arab blocs did attack Israel, the counter-bloc would be sorely tempted to display Arab "unity" by,a similar aggressive action on another border. These same diplomats, however, were of the opinion that a Western-oriented Iraq-Jordan could be kept in check. From France Israel's relations with the Arab states should be re-examined in the light of the proposed JordanIraqi federation, a spokesman for the French Foreign Office said in Paris. The spokesman expressed the opinion that Israel could only benefit from the Jordan-Iraqi merger. Such a merger, he stated, would restore the equilibrium upset by the Syrian-Egyptian merger. He added that France, doer not think that a Jordan-Iraqi union would attack Israel since this would mean exposing Its flank to an attack by the Syrian-Egyptian union. The. British Government doei not doubt Israel's ability to defend herself against one Arab state or combination of Arab states as has recently been asserted by Israeli personalities, Commander A. H. P. Noble, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said In Commons In a -report from London. Commenting on the Egyptian-Syrian union, he saw no Immediate reason to believe that the new state would have any greater military capacity than the two old states together. Cmdr. Noble further stated that the British Government considers Israel's armistice agreement frontiers as the ones which the signatory powers of the Tripartite Declaration of 1950 are pledged to defend against aggression. He also revealed the government was consulting the co-signatories of the declarationFrance and the United States— on how the recent Syrian-Egyptian federation might affect the undertakings of the declaration..
