Operations Are Still DELAYED
For Clearing Southern Suez

PORT SAID, Dec. % (R.-
Operations to clear the blocked
Suez Canal at its southern
entrance were delayed today.
Despite announcements from
United Nations and Egyptian
authorities yesterday that work
would begin this morning, an
ofhcial Of the Egypt's Suez Canal
Authority said at Suez that no
orders had been received to COM
mence the work.
Representatives of United
States 1t. Gen. Raymond A.
Wheeler, U. N. chief of salvage
operations. arrived at Suez and
said they had instructions to
start work Immediately and
would meet with Egyptian ofii-
cials in an effort to straighten
out the situation.

ship Tyne and the Danish craft
Protector. we're at Suez.
The Tyne's skipper, Capt. p.
wv. Dekoe said his ship and the
Protector "are ready to work but
are waiting for orders"
! 1t appeared that when work at
Suez did start 1t would be more
of symbolic nature than any,
thing else.
Sunken ships, damaged bridges
and other debris have blocked
the 103-mile canal for almcst
two months. British and French
salvage men cleared a channel
from Port Said to Ell Cap. a
third Of the way down the canal,
but since the British French
withdrawal the only work to-
ward reopening the waterway
has been Egyptian clearance oi
some mines and continued oper-
atoms by three British and
French ships in Port Said har-
Dor.

Ishibashi assured his in

these reports were the result
of his hostility to Gen. Doug

II do not hate Gen. Mac
Arthur" he said. "Our mis-

ness of the Japanese premief.
there Is little doubt that in
the months or years to come.
the intercourse between the
two countries will be less
smooth than in the past. The
Japanese industrial maSnates
feel strongly that their coun-
try's future is closely bound to
that Of Asia, especially Of
Communist China and the
USSR. The working classes,
which earn a bare subsistence.
are being propagandized that
their main hope rests in an
association with their "breth-
rem" on the Asiatic mainland;
while the intelligentsia, par.
ticularly the students and the
teachers, strongly believe in
the Communist doctrines.
Any Japanese leader must be
a skillful political tightrope
dancer If he wants to remain
in Office. Ishibashi has such
a reputation.

the best possible chances for
such economic expansion.
Because Japan must rely,
for the time being at least, on
American foreign aid. the new
premier does not want to dis
turb the present relationship
with the United States by some
precipitate action. Although
the pressure on him to recog-
nize the Peiping regime will
grow in months to come, he
insists that Japan as a new
member Of the United Nations
cannot yet make move in
that direction as long as the
Red Chinese have not been
accepted into that body.
But in an interview. pub.
lished by the Shizuoka Shim-
bun, one Of the leading and
influential Japanese news
papers. Ishibashi stated in an
swer to the question whether
he will recognize the Peoples
Republic Of China: II don't
think Of it right now. 1t will
depend on America as a leader.
I want America to help us.
But America sometimes has
too much self-confidence, be-
cause it is a big power. So it
thinks 1t can pressure Red
China. I think that is a mis-
take. I will try to avoid the
third world war"
The last sentence indicated
that the new Japanese prime
minister, who is being kept
informed Of Peiping's think
ing by the regular exchanges
Of visits between the main
land of China and his own
country, has also absorbed,
like Prime Minister Nehru, the
Chinese Communist "line"
that unless the Reds are ad-
mitted to the United Nations
and the United States regu-
larizes its relations with the
Peiping regime at the expense
of the remaining free Asiatic
countries, Q new violent out
break in the Pacific will be
inevitable.
Evening star., 1956-12-28

Despite the statements of
the new prime minister of
Japan, Tanzan Ishibashi, that
he will endeavor to keep
Japanese-American relations
on an even keel as much as
possible, there are indications
that in the course of the next
year there will be an effort on
the part Of the Tokyo govern
ment to revise" the terms of
the mutual assistance pact
between the two countries.
The main attempt of the
Japanese will be to have the
Ryukyu islands returned to
iJapan-as a means, they say,
Of inducing the USSR to give
back at least some of the
Kuriles.
The election this week of
Kamejiro Senaga as the mayor
OF Naha. the principal city on
Okinawa, is more than a
straw in the wind in that di-
rection. Senaga is head of the
Okinawa Peoples Party, which
is Communist-controlled. He
himself recently was released
from a jail term for his agita-
ton against continued pres
ence Of American forces on
this strategic island and has
urged violence. If necessary, to
prevent the requisitioning of
land for air bases.
There has been a growing
feeling in Japan-even among
the ultra-conservative indus
trial tycoons-that commercial
relations between their coun-
try and the USSR and
especially with Communist
China are essential for survival
OF the country. They point
out that the teeming popula-
ton tS6 million at present)
compressed in a territory not
larger than California, cannot
live unless 1t has adequate out

adopted resolution. This de-
clared that Egypt had not
complied with the earnest plea
of the chief Of staff Of the
truce supervision organization
of the U. NJ, which demanded
that Egypt "desist from the
present practice of interfering
with the passage through the
Suez Canal of goods destined
for Israel"
The resolution also charac-
terized this blockade as an
"unjustif1ed interference with
the rights of nations to navi-
gate the seas and to trade
freely with one another, in
cluding the Arab states and
Israel" The resolution then
concluded:
THE Security Council calls
upon Egypt to terminate the
restrictions on the passage of
international commercial ship
ping and goods through the
Suez Canal wherever bound
and to cease all interference
with such shipping beyond
that essential to the safety Of
shipping in the canal itself,
and to the observance of the
international conventions in
force"
This action was taken more
than five years ago. How long
will the Security Council of
the U. N. allow its own decree
to be disregarded? Britain and
France have obeyed the U. MS
orders. When will the U. N.
compel Egypt to obey U. N.
orders?
These are the question: S
which confront the U. NJ, but
IN reality they confront the

leaders also find it easier to
achieve unity and harmony
among the strange bedfellows
of a national political party.
These customary standards
were swept away in the Senate
by the decisive actions of two
men-the late Senator Robert
A. Taft and Senator Lyndon
Johnson of Texas.
Taft decided to name his
successor and was able to do
so by special reason of his per-
sonal prestige and illness.
Senator William F. Knowland
Of California therefore literally
inherited the Republican
leadership. He has performed
to the party's satisfaction and
will be renamed next week
without opposition.
The other innovator is Sena-
tor johnson. who decided he
wanted to be Democratic lead
er and aggressively and
astutely set about achieving it.
He has since built his position
to the point where he will be
reelected next week without
a murmur Of protest, although
some Democratic Senators fear
him and some dislike him. An
even greater number disagree
with the direction in which he
Is taking their party.

Eisenhower Problem Seen in Ambitions
Of Majority and Minority Leaders

Among the several claims to
fame being racked up by the
85th Congress is the fact that
both the Senate majority and
Senate minority will be led by
men ambitious to become Pres
ident. The special circum-
stances pose unusual problems
for the President, who must
work with both.
First of all. President Eisen-
hover cannot. himself, run or
threaten to run again. The
constitutional bar to a third
term enacted by a Congress of
his own party makes him the
first President of whom this
can be said. Thus Eisenhower
lacks a whip availa a BILE in
greater or less degree to all
his predecessors.
The decision of the voters
to give him a Congress Of the
opposite party makes all the
Congressional leaders import
ant to him. He will need to
work with the majority spokes-
men in order to enact his pro-
gram. He will be obliged to
give as much weight as possible
to the minority leaders in order

The United Nations may be
obligated to send a large mill
tary force into the Middle East
to keep the Suez Canal open
and preserve order in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
There is today constant war
fare by Egypt against Israel
by means of raids. Extensive
sabotage at the southern end
of the canal has been COM
mitted by Egyptians. Nasser
still insists he has the right to
say who shall use the water
way despite the provisions Of
the 1888 treaty which declare
1t shall be open to the ships Of
all nations at all times.
The Suez Canal question is
still unresolved, notwithstand-

the Security Council Of the
United Nations on October IS

sors," the paper continued, "re-

quences Of their actions and the

IS. A fair proportion Of the

"6. In case of disputes, un-
resolved affairs between the
Suez Canal Company and the
Egyptian government should
oe settled by arbitration, with
suitable terms of reference and
suitable provision for the pay
ment of sums found to be DUE"
When will the U. N. start
enforcing its decree? The
whole world has assumed that,
when the U. N. virtually
ordered British and French
forces out of the Suez area,
there would be imposed an in
ternational discipline of some
kind which would end the war
and remove the causes of the
controversy in the Middle
East over use Of the canal.
Under such circumstances.
the use of a preventive force
to compel adherence to the
october Is decision of the Sc
curity Council becomes logical.
If. on the other hand, the
U. N. doesn't follow through,
the way will be open for any
nation to take military action.
The British and French will
be able to point to the sequence
of events since they withdrew
their military forces as justi-
fication for their original in
tervention Of October 81.
Egypt's position today is that
she has been and still is "at
war" with Israel and doesn't
have to allow Israeli ships to
use the canal. But on Septem-

Gil dealt specifically with this
