Mr.. Dulles. without directly
mentioning British and French
Intervention in Egypt, denounced
countries which deliberately re-
sort to force as an instrument
Of national policy, even though
they believe their cause to be
Just. He pleaded with all to
maintain the United Nations
and obey the moral principles OF
its charter.
Sees War Otherwise
If the countries of the world
failed to do this, he declared, il
would mean disaster. He said
destruction of the U. N. or dis
regard of its principles would
lead almost certainly to global
war.

Ministers which was also ad-

Foreign Minister Christian
Pineau, Italian Foreign Minis

The American statesman de-
clared the Soviet Communist
system is deteriorating and the
power of its rulers disintegrat-

the lessening of the power Of
Communist parties in the free

might develop into something
tolerable.

If the West follows the course
