Differ on Correctness
In the first place. there is a
difference of opinion here over
the correctness Of the Franco
British decision to move into the
Canal Zone. Perhaps half of the
officers ! have talked to have
strong doubts on the wisdom OF
the move. Almost all the en-
listed men. however, seem to feel
that British and French leaders
were entirely right. Only a
minority of the correspondents
here from many European coua-
tries, thought the move was wise
That minority was almost all
British-French.
The second point discussed
endlessly here is whether once
the decision to invade was made

Britain and France Let
U.N. Force In Port Said
Replacement
In Suez Area
Is Discussed

LONDON, Nov. 20 (R.--
Britain and France have agreed
to admit a contingent of the
United Nations police force into
Port Said.
The Foreign Office disclosed
today the group will comprise a
company of Danish and Nor
wegian troops who are due to
move into the British French
controlled town in a matter of
hours.
A spokesman at the Foreign
Office was asked if the entry of
the U. N. contingent would sig
nal the beginning of a prom
ised phased withdrawal of Brit
ish- French forces from Egypt.
He replied: I'VE just don't
know at the moment"
Withdrawal Discussed
In the House of Commons
r. A. Butler, speaking for ailing
Prime Minister Eden, said ar
arrangements for the replacement
of British French forces in the
Suez Canal area are now being
discussed with the u. N. author
tiles in New York.
He announced Foreign Secre-
Itary Selwyn Lloyd is due to fly
back from New York to London
Thursday and added:
Il hope the Foreign Secretary
may then be in a position to
report to the House the latest
information about the situa-
ton"
Earlier, in Cairo, Col. C.
F. Moe Of Norway, deputy
u. NJ police force commander,
said a company of Norwegian
troops under U. N. Command
was preparing to move into Port
Said tomorrow Ito prevent fric-
ton between the Egyptian pop
Iulation and British French
troops"
First u. N. Action
Col. Moe said the movement
had no relation to British
French withdrawal from the
city. The move would be the
first action by U. N. troops since
they began arriving at ABU
Suweir Air Base in the Suez
Canal zone last week.
I The Norwegian commander
said the Egyptian government
had agreed to the move by ITS
men and Is officers in talks with
U. N. Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold here. The men
will be armed with light ma
chineguns and rifles and will
take seven days supplies with
them
Tension in Port Said is re-
ported to have increased in the
last few days, with passive re-
sistance by the population to the
British-French forces growing.
Egyptian Firing Reported
Col. Moe mentioned only the
problem of easing tension be-
tween the British-French and
the Egyptian population. He
said nothing about British re-
ports that Egyptian forces en-
gagged in two spurts of firing on
their front lines about Is miles
south Of Port Said Sunday night
and yesterday. The British said
they did not return the fire,
and no casualties resulted.
The U. N. force at Abu Suweir
increased to 674 today with the
arrival of IS Indian paratroop-
ers. The Indians were the fifth
national group to join the in
lternationsl force. The others
are Danes. Norwegians. Colom-
bans and Yugoslavs. A con-
tingent of 26 Swedes is expected
tomorrow.
