Every so often a Soviet MIG fighter roars overhead. Few look upward; people are accustomed to them and almost everyone is intent on his own affairs. There is something strange in the atmosphere. Few Damascenes say anythng openly about it. It is as if they feel something they do not want is happening and they are being fatalistic about it.

In new sections of the. city, buzzing with business activity, worry shows through. A businessman from some other part of the Arab world who has established himself in Damascus may whisper that he is thinking of leaving. Ask him why and he will shrug. Only a few think communism is on the way.

Some see a future of heavy taxation and other annoyances from a regime they believe is intent on rushing headlong into an overambitious development program. Foreigners from the West here for an international fair reported they were besieged with offers to stay on at high pay to help Syria develop her industries. The West is much in evidence Swank Arabs finger their beads but otherwise look as Western as Chicago. In the better hotels, restaurants, and cabarets they mingle with darkskinned, bearded sheikhs in robes and headdress from the provinces. American movies outnumber other foreign films 4 to 1.
