The Egyptians have been
strongly suspicious in the past
that our State Department
was only a branch of the Brit
ish Foreign Office insofar as
affairs of the Near and Middle
East were concerned. And the
blunders Of our allies in that
area have reflected damagingly
on us.
Gen. Naguib told Mr.. Dulles
that his government is willing
to come to friendly agree
ment with Great Britain if
London wants it. But unfor-
tunately, the Secretary was
told in Cairo, as soon as an
agreement is in the offing,
Britain makes certain new de-
mands which have the effect
of nullifying it.
At present, for instance, the
argument between Cairo and
London is over the question Of
the specialists who are to be
left in the Suez Canal zone
to take care of the costly
military installations Britain
has erected there. London in
sisted these persons must all
be British. The Egyptians
finally agreed, provided they
were nominally under the
orders of the Cairo govern
ment. The British refused and
demanded that they be un-
der the exclusive control of
the British War Office.
When it appeared that
Naguib might yield on this
point, provided that the spe-
cialists be replaced eyentu-
ally by other experts from
other Western countries or by
Egyptians who had received
the necessary training, London
raised another point. 1t in
sisted that all the British
technicians in the canal zone
be appointed for life. Naguib
turned this down. Now he
hopes that Mr.. Dulles may be
able to induce the British to
withdraw this claim.
Such tactics cost Britain

The United Nations starts
things it cannot finish. It
brought on a war by partition
ing Palestine against the op-
position of every neighboring
state and against their de-
clared intention to oppose par
tition by force. Gould the
United Nations deter them? It
could not. It clamped on an
arms embargo which was not
accepted by either belligerent.
Israel, at least, obtained arms
from Czechoslovakia. Even
tually, there was an armistice
supervised by the United Ma
tions after Israel had extended
her United Nations frontiers.
Nothing of the United Nations
partition plan remains. No
Arab state has recognized
Israel; they blockade its ports
and frontiers; and the United
Nations has no means what
ever Of ending this cold war.
I cite this example because
all the states involved are
weak. Yet the United Nations
cannot enforce it's will.
The United Nations stand
on aggression in Korea de-
tered nobody. The Korean
war cannot be won militarily
as a United Nations action,
not only because of the oppo-
sition Of the Soviet bloc, but
because of the opposition Of
our own allies to any decisive
move against Red China.
Their insistence on a truce
that will leave Korea perma-
nently divided is now losing us

Neither side has ever pro-
posed a solution of the Korean
problem that could conceiv-
ably bring peace.

The Civil Service Commission
is furnishing a task force to work
with a similar group from the

on reduction in force problems.
These problems became criti-
cal in the NPA when Congress.

ton, sharply limited the per-

during July.
The commission, in making it's
announcement late yesterday,
said the Commerce Department,
parent agency of NPA, has ex-
tended for not more than 30
days the reduction in force
notices for approximately 435
employees. The number is that
which the agency can legally re-
tain within the limits of the IN

The commissions task force
will review cases of approxi-

determine whether or not any
OF them may have higher pri-
ority in retention and qualifica-
tions for the remaining positions
than persons retained. If such
cases are found, the employees
with higher job rights and the
necessary qualifications will be
restored to duty.
At the request of the commits

also is speeding its survey of
positions throughout the depart

definite tenure, in order to make
places for career employees of

the limitation on NPA funds

This is to prevent undue inter-
