Egypt Warns
Of War Threat
Suez Case Carried
To United Nations

!
CAIRO. Egypt, Sept. Is tP).-
Egypt carried her side of the
Suez crisis to the U. N. today,
charging Britain and France
must bear responsibility for any
obstruction in shipping resulting
from IA pending walkout of for
eign pilots and technicians.
This appeared aimed to coun-
ter the declaration of Britain
and France in letter to the
Security Council president yes

denounced a Western plan for a

A foreign Office spokesman
announced Mr.. Loufti was told
to inform Dag Hammarskjold

U. N members of the authorize

ing out the question of the
operation of the canal in
accordance with the 1888 con-
vention.
These views were presented
and explained to the govern
ment of Egypt by a five-nation
committee under the chair
manship Of the Right Hon.
Robert Menzies. Prime Min
lister Of Australia. The gov
eminent of Egypt was unwill-
ing to agree to negotiate on
the basis which the over
whelming majority of the
users suggested.
In these circumstances, it
had to be considered what fur
ther steps could be taken to-
ward a just, yet peaceful,
settlement.
Prime Minister Eden in his
speech yesterday set forth the
concept of an association of
users of the Suez Canal. Prior
to his making that speech. the
United States had informed
him that if the United King

with others should proposed a

and perhaps others, the United
States would participate in
such users organization. We
assume that such an organiza-
ton would act as agent for
the users and would exercise
on their behalf the rights
which are theirs under the
1888 convention and seek such
cooperation with Egypt as
would achieve the results de-
signed to be guaranteed by
that convention.

Eden Wdgers
His Future on
Suez Position
Vote Seen Today
AS Commons Ends
z Days of Debate

LONDON. Sept. Is (P.-Brit-
aims Conservative government
plunged ahead today with new
plan for moving ships through
the Suez Canal despite some
vagueness as to how much sup
port it would have from the
United States.
Prime Minister Eden put the
future of his government on
the line, calling for a vote of
confidence on his moves for
meeting the widening Suez
crisis. The vote was expected to
come late today, winding up two
days of debate at an emergency
session of Parliament.
Cooperation Stressed
Sir Anthony announced to
Ia stormy House of Commons
yesterday that the United States,
Britain and France we're propos-
ing establishment of a canal
users association to take ships
through the 103-mile Middle
East waterway. The association
would provide pilots, regulate
traffic, fix rates. collect tolls and
share the income.
The State Department in
Washington confirmed that the
United States had agreed to join
in the plan, and diplomatic
sources here said Secretary of
State Dulles had framed the pro-
posal. But Washington made it
clear that the United States
wanted more than Big Three
sponsorship. State Department
statements stressed "co-opera-
ton with Egypt" and participa-
ton by other nations in the
projected association.
United States officials were
reported disturbed because they
felt an Interpretation envisaging
a strictly United State British
French canal board would be re-
jected by Egypt as an alleged at
tempt to impose Western DOM
ination.
Washington officials also were
obviously upset about Sir An
thongs talk of possible use of
force in the controversy. He
told Commons that if Egypt in
terfered with the work of the
proposed new association. Brit
ain and Others concerned"
would be free to take such
further steps as seem to be re-
quired."
Col Nasser has declared Egypt
will fight if it is attacked and
the Egyptians have been keep
ing an apprehensive eye on the
buildup of British and French
military forces in the Mediter-
ranean area.
Pilots Sought
In a move coinciding with the
disclosure of the plan for a users
association, Britain and France
formally brought the Suez dis
pute to the attention of the U. N.
Security Council. They did not
ask any U N action at this time
but warned in a letter to the Sc
curity Council president that
Egypt had created a situation
which might endanger free and
open passage of the canal.
Sir Anthony also received a
personal message from Soviet
Prime Minister Bulganin, whose
government has been supporting
Nasser all down the line. Though
details were not disclosed, French
and British diplomatic sources
said the Soviet leader was telling
the two Western powers in a
friendly way to take it easy.
TAT Gettysburg. Pa, White
House Secretary James C. Hag-
erty said President Eisenhower
so far had received no message
from Bulganin on Suez.l
Egypt has pledged that the
canal will be kept open to all
shipping and has been seeking
to recruit pilots and speed UP
their training.

been made clear, seeks a Just and

question" the Secretary said in

5 Nations Control Ships
Questioning later developed
that the United States intends
to send its own ships around
South Afriea'S Cape of Good
Hope if Egypt blocks ships affili-
ated with the new users associa-
ton. which British Prime Min
lister Eden yesterday announced
was being formed.
This group. which Sir Anthony
said would handle plotting and
,trafficking of its members ships
through the Suez waterway,
probably would have only four
or five principal members, Sec
Rotary Dulles indicated today.
He pointed out that four ma
tons. the United Kingdom, the
United States, France and Italy,
are equitable owners of two
thirds of the shipping now trav-
Iersing the waterway. Counting
Norway's tonnage. the five ma
tons control approximately rs
per cent of the shipping, he
noted.
Egypt Sends Message
While the Secretary's news
conference was still in progress,
the Egyptian Embassy an
lnounced that Egyptian Ambas-
sador Ahmed Hussein had given
Mr.. Dulles "the urgent message
that the scheme which Sir An
lthony Eden wants to impose on
Egypt is an open and fragrant
aggression on Egyptian sover-
eighty and its implementation
means war"
The Embassy said the Ambas-
sador told Mr.. Dulles:
IF the United States desires
war, then she may support this
scheme. but if her desire is to
work for a peaceful solution, the
scheme has to be abandoned"
Mr.. Dulles had discussed the
Suez crisis by phone with Presi-
dent Eisenhower at Gettysburg
before the news conference.

tude toward the users associa-

high prices and went badly into debt
in New York for goods for its com
munestic stores and businesses. This
made matters so unpleasant that in
1887 the whole community moved to
Missouri. 1t is related that 700 of
them left in one day. Smith went
along with the others.
The cult got its name from Smiths
"Book of Mormon" but really were
named the Church of Latter Day
Saints of Jesus Christ. There were
two priesthoods in the Church-the
Melchisedek and the Aaronic, which
included the Levitical, from which
the officers were chosen. Kirkland was
officially known as "the stake Of
Zion"
After the bank failure the society
rapidly declined and in Missouri the
Mormons were so beset with hostility
that they once raised an armed force
to drive off their enemies but event
ually were driven out of Missouri too.
From there the cult moved to Nauvoo,
Illinois, and founded a colony. A
Temple built there was 120 by 80
feet and around it the Mormon city
grew to about 10000 population.
Always insisting that the cult have
its own laws, the Mormons constantly
were in trouble in Illinois and Joseph
Smith and his brother, Hyram, were
jailed at Carthage, near Nauvoo, for
debt. Despite a guard of eight or 10
men mob of about 60 broke into the
Jail on June 27, 1874, and firing into
the prison, killed both Joseph and
Hyram Smith.
The cult continued under new
prophet-James ]. Strang, young
New York state lawyer, who moved
it to Voree, Wisconsin. Voree means

Mennonite Mutual
Aid Society Has
goth Birthday

The Mennonite Mutual Aid society
organized by the early Swiss Memo
mite settlers of the Button Pandora
area observed it's goth birthday Tues
day with policies in effect covering
risks Of more than eight and a half
million dollars in this agricultural
area.
In operation since June 5, 1866, the
insurance company is now serving
fourth and even fifth generation fam
lies of the original organizers, ac-
cording to the mutual groups annual
statement.
The mutual has seen a period of
most rapid growth in the last decade
when risks covered by its policies
more than doubled. In 1916 the mu-
tual was insuring risks of s4 million
dollars and by the close of last year
this had jumped to s8,666,000.
The terrific increase of insured
risks reflects the national prosperity
and the period of farm mechanizatior
when investments in modern equip
ment have been necessary to keer
pace with the times. 1t also reflects
the company officials say, increased
confidence of policyholders.

The Story Of The
MOrnlOnS

Reputably lazy, ignorant fellow
and a laborer back in Palmyra, New
York, Joseph Smith and his father
both were said to be presons "of
doubtful moral character, addicted to
disreputable habits and moreover
extremely superstitious, believing in
the existence of witchcraft." Joseph
Smith had been born December %,
1905, at Sharon, Vermont, and had
moved with his parents about 1915
to Manchester, New York.
Once father and son got a mineral
rod and dug in various places for
money. Joseph related that he had
seen the pot or chest of treasure but
never could get his hands on it. He
put peculiar looking stone in his
hat and pretended that by the light
of it he could make many wonderful
discoveries of gold and silver in the
earth.
When he was 18 he tried to start a
new religious cult in Palmyra but
could not arouse any excitement there.
One man, a Quaker, told him to go
to work or he would end up in the
state prison. However Smith was able
to interest Martin Harris, a farmer
worth about $4,000, in his religion
and Harris put up $4,000 for Smith
to have 5000 copies of his Mormon
Bible printed. The volume was a
duodecimo one of 500 pages filled
with blind mass of words inter-
woven with scriptural language and
quotations without much of leading
plan or design" one of the weakest
productions ever attempted to be
palmed off as divine revelation"
Actually it was the stolen manuscript
of Solomon Spaulding's never pub
lished Manuscript Found" written
in 1811-12 and lost from a/Pittsburgh
printing shop. Smith declared that he
had found "the gold plates for the
DlDlC OIl a IIlOullle1lll IOD NilCH
ging for gold there
Unpopular in New York state, Smith
and his few converts moved to Kirt-
land, near Mentor, Lake County,
where they had better luck. There
the cult soon found II new members
and baptised them all in one night
Farley B. Platt, Lorraine County, and
Sidney Rigdon, Mentor, two Of
Smiths original converts, helped get
the Kirkland converts in to the fold.
Many of the new converts were veal
thy farmers and thus Smith began
''to live off the fat of the land"
Kirkland became the headquarters
of the Mormons and in their peak
years about 5000 of the cult lived
there. There in 1884 great Mormon
Temple was built, GO by 80 feet and
142 feet from base to top of its
spire. The building was rough stone,
plastered over, and cost $4,000, old
accounts relate. At its right side was
the Teachers Seminary and on its
left the Mormon Banking House.
The bank finally issued a number of
thousands of dollars more notes than
it had spicie and thus came its crash.
By the time the Temple was fin
ished the Mormons had increased to
more than 1000 and square mile
was laid off into half-acre lots which
sold at high price. After that the
cult itself bought a number of large
farms around the neighborhood at
