Then, as now, British democracy
asked another democracy to yield
to the threats of a dictatorship.
For Egypt's regime is becoming
increasingly like the national So
cialism" of Adolf Hitler (or, some
would say, like the semi-fascism
Of Juan Peron in Argentina).
Egypt's present rulers started off
as merely nationalist militarists.
Now, according to no less an au-
thority than Egypt's premier,
Canal Nasser, the regimes goal is
socialism.

1t seems strange that Prime
Minister Sir Anthony Eden, who
strongly opposed the Munich SELL
out, should now advocate an Is
raeli sellout to Egypt. Eden fore
saw in 1898 that such a concession
to Nazi Germany would only be
the first of a series and ultimately
lead to precisely the kind of war
it was aimed at preventing.
EgYpt's goal = frequently pro-
claimed by the Egyptian radio-is
the humiliation of Israel. Any
cession Of Israeli territory to
Egypt would merely make easier
the final Arab job Of extermina-
ton.
Fortunately, however, this time
the British compromise" proposal
will remain a joke, if stale one.
In 1888, Adolf Hitler was in a po-
sition to take by force the Sude-
ten lands from Czechoslovakia
unless Britain and France fought
to defend them. Today the posi-
ton is reversed. Egypt at present
is far too weak to get anything
from Israel by force.
Nor can Great Britain compel
Israel to yield territory except by
joining Egypt in fighting against

Hence the absurdity of the Brit

the area by suggesting that the
victors Of the last war yield to
beaten Egyptians.
UnhappilY. President Eisenhow-
er's latest peace suggestion is no
more realistic. For by offering TO

To be effective. any such guaran-
tee must be made to both coun-
tries but applied as soon as either
accepts. Failure to accept is tacit
avowal of aggressive intentions.
Until Washington realizes this
unpleasant fact and acts accord
ingly, the Egypt-Israel dispute
will rather worsen than improve.
