Eisenhower's Cool Composure

seems extremely likely (al-
though l do not know this)
that he recommended that his
government accept American
aid in constructing the Aswan
Dam, the overture at that time
having come, not from Egypt,
but from Washington.
The sudden, brusque, badly
rationalized. rude and highly
undiplomatic withdrawal of
the offer certainly could not
enhance Mr.. Hussein's prestige
in Cairo. nor in any way aid
in pacifying Western relations
with Egypt.
1.-THE Egyptians" according to
the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
in an article written when the
British were their real rulers,
are characterized by courtesy,
dignity of manners, fiuency
and discourse, cheerfulness
and hospitality"
They are characteristics that
all peoples land certainly all
diplomats can emulate to
their own advantage.

Dulles Address Significant

State was right also in pointing
out that this is the approach
which the United Nations
charter itself recommends
when international disputes
arise.
Mr.. Dulles debated the issue
fairly in his great speech and

speaking from the United

by the United States Secretary

some of the finest diplomatic
notes written in time of crisis
by Woodrow Wilson. If the "a

moral force as a substitute for
military force it will fulfill the
long cherished hope of man
kind that an age of reason can

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Suez Canal Crisis Points Up Necessity
For thorough Airing of Critical Issues

should be pointed out and
thoroughly aired before the
public. Without such discus
sion. we are likely to see our
timid policymakers following
their too-frequent course of
placating our allies to our own
cost.
In the Middle East, the
United States had long built
a substantial foundation of
friendship among the Arab
states. That friendship seems
in grave danger these days.
The cause is not hard to find
the seeming necessity to
hold the free world alliances
together by giving in to the
particular whims of the larg-
est and strongest of the allies.
If Britain and France send
military forces into the Suez
Canal to punish President
Nasser for his naturalization
of the canal, the United States
will be footing the bill and
probably holding the bag.
If there is enough public
discussion before the die is
cast, we might be able to ex-
pect a refreshing change in
our policy abroad; the con-
sideration of the interests of
the United States first.

Kefauver would not be his
choice. 1t was clear then that
Hartman had to be the major
beneficiary of a Hartman
Kefauver alliance.
A Kefauver manager who is
close to the former President
has told Truman that this was
the last straw. In any case,
Kefauver decided to eman-
cipate Stevenson.
The episode is much more
than a chapter of the conven-
ton story. 1t is an important
installment in the continuing
struggle for control of the
party. Just as Harold StaSsen
is trying in his anti-Nixon
fight to insure the succession
for a liberal Republican, Ke-
fauver has moved to keep lib
eral Democrats on tap.
The liberals are already
worried lest Stevenson owe
the South too much and is
too committed to a moderate
course. Yet the split of their
support between Stevenson,
Ketauver and Hartman has
helped create the situation.
Now the Kefauver supporters
can help Stevenson free him

Democratic liberals are

that, by the conference
method, we shall invoke moral

1T is one thing to defy one

address nevertheless is a first

as to what the United States
will do in the unhappy con-
tingency that the conference

in that last fuSillade Senator
Estes Kefauver fired before he

biggest names in the Demo-

Sometimes in a busy world
Of news a great speech and a
move of far-reaching signifl-
canoe in the prevention of
bloodshed between nations is
treated as just a routine piece
of diplomacy or as something
too far away from the average
Americans immediate interest
to be of much concern.
But the address by the Sec
rotary of State, John Foster
Dulles, delivered in the pres
ence of and with the full APP
prevail of President Eisenhower
deserves more than passing
attention. For it is a con-
spicuous example of the way
moral force can be used and
must be used in the modern
world if large-scale or small
scale wars are to be averted.
Mr. Dulles had gone to Lon
don last week to confer there
with the Prime Minister of
Great Britain and the Pre-
mier of France about the crisis
over Egypt's seizure of the
Suez Canal. His address, de-
livered before a Nationwide
television audience, was an
expression of the high pur-
poses of all three nations.
1t was a skillfully prepared
speech. carefully calculated to
keep Europe from edging over
to the brink of war" Some
dispatches from abroad have
limited that the French and
British governments were be-
ing portrayed as "hot-heads"
and the United States as eX-
ercising a restraining hand.
But there was no artifice about
it. Great Britain and France
have moved in the direc-
ton of forcible action to re-
sist the seizure, and the pro-
posals advanced by the United
States are indeed welcomed
by the British and French
governments themselves as a
means of advising Nasser that

belief that the Republican
