Crosses Tell Story Of Allied Lives Lost
To Save Egypt From Nozis in Last War

Just fourteen years ago
not a very long time in world
history-thousands of British
and French young men were
dying to save Egypt.
If there had been no such
show Of force, President Nasser
today. wouldn't have a canal
to argue about. Maybe his
boss would have been a Hitler
and his government would
have been a puppet Of fascism.
The world forgets quickly
the sacrifices that are made
in a great cause. The very
countries which are crying out
about British and French Co
lonialism" are strangely indif-
erent' to the human sacrifices
which were made by the Brit
ish and French and which to-
day enable Nasser to claim
sovereignty" over the Suez
canal.
The Nazis, it will be re-
called, had two practicable
routes they could follow to
capture Egypt. One was from
the south through Italian
East Africa, and the other was
from the west through Libya.
There were a number of
battles of a critical nature.
Some distinguished comman-
ders-Gen. Wavell and Gen.
Montgomery were pitted
against Gen. Rommel, the
Nazis' military genius. When
MusSolini declared war in June
1910. he already had 100000
troops in Libya, and on Sep
TENDER Is they invaded Egypt.
Three months later the British
army of the Nile pushed for
ward from inside Egypt and
destroyed an Italian army of
nine divisions. The British
had more than 100000 troops
under Gen. Wavell.

promote people-to-people con-
facts throughout the world.
He told the gathering that
the purpose of such a program
is the most worthwhile there is
in the world today-"to help
build the road to enduring
peace"
He said that in certain parts
of the world captive audiences"

States does want war.
Problem Analysed
The problem is. he said. to get
people to leap" governments
and work out methods by which
those in different parts of the
world can gradually learn more
about each other.
The great weakness of Com
munist dictatorship, the Presi-
dent asserted, is that when the
peoples love of freedom grows
greater than their fear Of the
guns at their back, relationships
fall.
In building better people-to-
people contacts. he said the Gov
eminent can do no more than
point the way and assist.
He stressed the need for ex-
changes of more professors and
students. spreading Of good will

free system works.
