oppose any INTRODUCTION OF
new forces" into the conflict inI
Egypt. He was asked if that
applied to intervention on the
side OF Egypt by so-called VOL
unteers from Russia and Com
munist China.
If there was any such offense,
the President said he was not
going to say the United States
would make unilateral deter
mination of what to do about it.
He made it clear, however,
that he believed it would be the
duty of the u N. to oppose in |
PRODUCTION of any new armed
forces. whether called volunteers
or what. into Egypt and said
this country would try to support
the u N. in any such action.
Asked if the opposition he was
thinking about would go beyond
merely subscribing to U. N. reso-
lutions. the President pointed
out that the U. N. is not by any
means limited to resolutions, as
it has demonstrated. The PreSi-
dent presumably was referring
to Korea.
Never Urged Open Revolt
MIR. Eisenhower, holding his
first news conference since Oc-
tober II, said nothing has sol
disturbed him as have the events
in Hungary where the Russians
have been shooting down Hun
garians revolving against Com
munist dictation.
He said the United States
never has advocated open re-
bellion against ruthless military
force by the satellite peoples in |
Eastern Europe, although it has
striVen to keep alive the hope of /
eventual freedom.
The President emphasized |
that it would be most terrible |
mistake for the free world ever
to accept Soviet enslavement of |
eastern European nations as
part Of a future world which |
they could approve.
In view of Russia's actions in /
Hungary and threats in the
Middle East. the President was
asked if it was time for reap
praisal of Americas relationship
with Russia since the policy of
peaceful cooperation appar-
emily has not worked.
Mr. Eisenhower asked his
questioner if he meant such
actions as breaking diplomatic
relations with Russia.
Wants World to Judge
He went on to say that the
Soviet certainly has not COM
piled with U. N. standards. On
the question of what should be
done about it, he said he would
want to get the considered judg-
uueilt VI lHe WOTlu.
But, he added. he would not
want to bring up such broad
matter at this moment when the
U. N. was trying to quiet Incl
dents causing difficulties in
Eastern Europe and the Middle
East.
After those crises are out of
the way. he said, would be the
proper time for the U. N. to con-
slider what should be done about
Russia.
A reporter noted that, even
II general war is prevented in
the Middle East, it looks as if
Russia will have gained ire
mendous influence there. and
asked how the United States
could expect to redress the bal
ance of East-West power in that
area.
MIR. Eisenhower said frankly
he did not know whether Soviet
influence could pc eliminated
entirely.
He added, however, that he
thought every small free nation
would be very careful now about
becoming too closely tied up with
Russia after having seen in
Hungary what happens to a
country dominated by the Soviet.
Friends With Both Sides
Mr.. Eisenhower said he be-
lieves American efforts To be
friends with both sides in the
Arab-Israel dispute is the best
thing for the whole Middle East
because it is clear in the long
run the Arab nations and Israel
need each other, He mentioned
particularly need for trade.
