Emergency Oil
Aid for Europe
Tries to Pressure
British and French
To Pull Out of Suez
BY EARL II. vOsS

The United States Govern
ment has decided to hold up its
plans for emergency oil ship
ments to Western Europe until
Britain and France have with
drawn from the Suez Canal
area.
With the West European oil
shortage caused by closing of
the Suez waterway already criti-
cal and getting more critical .
in the view of American officials,
this decision amounts to power
full pressure on Britain and
France for prompt withdrawal
from the Suez area.
= President Eisenhower is also
understood to have put off a
Big Three meeting with British
Prime Minister Eden and French
Premier Guy Mollet until the
British-French force evacuates
the SueZ zone.
Assistance Planned

Committee. set up last summer
TO help Europe meet it's oil needs
II Egyptian President Canal Abb
del NaSser closed the canal, has
detailed plans for helping Euro
pean nations. But the committee
is being kept on a standby
basis until United Nations prou-
sionS for easing the Mideast
crisis have been complied with.
Britain and France thus are
put in the position of depriving
not only their own countries of
oil critically needed for their in
dustries. but also their NATO
allies. European economies are
so interdependent, United States
officials say, that aiding individ-
ual countries is not practical.
Denmark, Britain, France, the
Netherlands. Italy and West
Germany are already beginning
to reduce their oil consumption.
But even if rationing cuts
European consumption as much
as Is to 20 per cent. there would
be a critical need for a half mil
lion barrels of oil day, it is
estimated.
If work were started immedi-
ately on clearing the sunken
ships from the Suez Canal, it Is
estimated that two to four
months would be needed before
cargoes could pass through the
waterway. At the moment, how
ever. President NaSser insists he
will not allow salvage operations
to start until all foreign troops,
presumably including United
Nations forces. leave the Suez
zone.

ton of the Canal Zone. Then
the United Nations comes in to
someone somewhere,
Britain is a divided country;
Russia is gaining influence in
the Middle East; the canal is
blocked and the British and
French are in the useless position
of occupying only one end Of it,
British Position Weak
The favorite question here is to
ask why the British and French
troops stopped when and where
they did. The question was
posed to this writer by an Iron
Curtain diplomat. My own
answer to the question was that
Britain was stopped by the Rus
sian threat to come in and take
over the war with modern weap-
ons. Another guess was that the
weight of world public opinion,
plus split in the House of Com
mons forced British Prime Min
lister Sir Anthony Eden to call a
halt.
The question is a valid one
because the British southern
position along the narrow banks
lof the canal and surrounded by
water mud fats is by all military
textbooks untenable. (This war
however, has not been fought by
the book But it is within sight
just down the road of a fine
place for defense or launching
a further offenSe. And the other
end of the canal is only a few
hours away for fast-moving
troops.
The puzzle for the future is
how Britain and France can
insure international control Of
the whole canal area and how
Egypt can regain full sover-
eighty. Educated Egyptians here
