From a strategic standpoint,
re-occupation by the British is
not considered as defending the

on having a nerve center Access

Eisenhower Sees
No Alternative 10
Higher Debt Limit

President Eisenhower said to-
day he sees no way to escape
raising the Federal debt limit.
He told his news conference
that increasing the present $275
billion limit imposed by law is
not a part of his legislative pro-
gram. But, he said, it is a neces-
sity.
The President said he is not
quite ready to say in exactly
what form a request to boost the
debt ceiling will be presented
to Congress. He said confer
ences on that point have been
going on steadily.
Meanwhile, the Treasury re-
ported that on July %. the last
day Of record. the national debt
subject to limitation stood al
$270. 345, 900, O0O., The Govern
ment also owes 1888 million moi
subject to limit. Treasury officials
say tax cuts now nearing APP
prevail in Congress. plus a con-
tinued high level of spending in
spite of retrenchment measures
have created the prospect Of q
squeeze
President Eisenhower asked
Congress to boost the debt limit
last year to $3.50 billion. The
request was passed by the House
but was defeated in the
Senate. Treasury Secretary
Humphrey has indicated thu
administration will ask for thu
same figure again this year.

PARIS, July 28.-French re-
action to the new Soviet bid for
talks on European security en-
courages a belief that the Rus
slams have made a serious dip
lomatic blunder.
In Paris, as in Washington, the
latest Soviet proposal is regarded
universally as a move to torpedo
chances of German rearmament
within the framework of EDO,
And since the defense commu-
nifty repends at this point di-
rectly on ratification of the EDO
treaty by the French Parliament
it is to Frenchmen that the So
Wet appeal is primarily directed.
Like every one else. the Rus
slams know that ratification of
the EDO treaty is a touch-and-
go proposition in France. They
know that there are many
Frenchmen anxious to seize on
any pretext for rejecting or at
least delaying. German rearma-
ment. It was confidently expected
that the Kremlin would vast no
time after the end of the Ge-
neva Conference to reopen the
question of a new general Eu-
ropean settlement in an attempt
to forestall a decision on edo. ;.
According to the best author
ity, their scheme has failed.
There will be no delay in Ma
tional Assembly debate on EDO,
scheduled for the middle of next
month. AS Premier Mendes-
France promised the question
of EDO win be settled one way
or another before the parliament
tary recess begins at the. end of

There are also strong indica-
tions that the treaty will be pre-

France Seen Specific Target
For Soyiet's Bid for New Talks

French proposals that are laid
before them. " - -
In the showdown Mr.. Mendes-
France himself is expected to
exert the maximum personal
leadership in the assembly to
push the treaty through. There
will be no question of lodging
the responsibility by trying to
please all the divided factions
within Parliament. And the sue
cess or failure Of his regime will
be directly tied to the outcome.
Meanwhile, official circles here
feel strongly that the Russians
have damaged their own case
against edo by the timing Of
their latest note. Even those who
bitterly oppose the treaty can
not ignore the transparency of
the Kremlin's effort. And as
proved to be the case at Berlin,
this kind of initiative by the
Russians seems to be having the
effect of solidifying Western
sentiment at least for the mo-
ment.
At this point, even such
staunchly anti-EDC papers as
Combat are saying:
$50 far as France is concerned,
this note cannot offer new
pretext for putting off a decision
on EDO, whether modified or
not. Instead. it tends to clear the
road for the future to decide at
last where we stand according
to the choice of Parliament. :
In short the reaction of France
seems to add another point of
proof to an old theory: That
being against German rearma-
ment in Western Europe is not
the same thing as being pro-
Russian and that in trying to
make this the case the Russians
are working hard to defeat their
own purposes.
Officially there has been no
reaction whatever here to the
invitation of the Russians to q
new European conference. The
most likely reply, however, will
be request for further informa-
ton about exactly what the
Kremlin has on its mind. The
general feeling in official circles
here is that next fall--assuming
EDO comes into being in the
meantime the West might be
in a position to sound out So
Wet intentions on a more equal
basis,

President and Dulles
Praise Suez Accord
As an Aid 10 West

President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles today
hailed the British Egyptian
agreement on the Suez Canal as
q contribution to the future OF
Egypt and the Western defenses
in the Middle East.
Gen. Eisenhower told a news
conference that he could not say
how pleased he was with the
settlement. 1t was, he said;
evidence of patience and states
manship on both sides.
The President said the agree
ment satisfied Egypt's national
desires while at the same time
catering to the requirements OF
Western defense.
He expressed hope that Egypt
can go ahead with her friends
on improving its economic and
security positions.
Secretary Dulles in a state
ment issued shortly after the
Presidents said, II join most,
heartily in his congratulations
to both countries"
"What has occurred is a major
step in the evolution in the rela-
tions between the states Of the
Near East and the nations Of
the West" Mr.. Dulles said,
"This agreement eliminates a
problem which has affected not
only the relations between the
United Kingdom and Egypt but
also those Of the Western ma
tions as a whole with the Arab
states.
81 hope that it marks the
beginning of a new era of closer
collaboration between the states
of the Near East and those of
the West.
Thanks to this agreement a
new and more permanent basis
has been laid for the tranquility
and security of the Near East,
The United States welcomes
In particular Egypt's decision to
make the Suez base available to
the United Kingdom in case of
aggression against the area. The
United States is also. pleased to
note the recognition by the two
parties of the Importance of the
Suez Canal and the determine
ton to uphold the Convention of
1883 which guarantees freedom
Of navigation through this vital
artery"

Under present policy, trans

Chiang's own shipping, it was
explained. No American ships
are docking at Quemoy ports, in
what has become war zone.
Arms for Nationalist China
were started under a program
three years ago. Virtually all of
the planes, guns and other weap-
ons and supplies are delivered on
Formosa by ships of the Military
Sea Transport Service, which
operates under contract and di-
rection of the Navy.
Logistic support for the Ma
tionalists has expanded since the
