If this was all to her life, she
would have nothing to complain
about. But her own businesS-the

Voice votes also accounted for
passage by the House and Senate
of a bill providing $2,336, $3.50, 781

Eden Warning
To Reds Barred
On Middle East

LONDON, June % R.-Com-
monwealth Prime Ministers were
told yesterday Sir Anthony Eden
warned Soviet leaders on their
April visit here that Britain
would go to war If Russian ac-
ton blocked OF Middle East oil.
The Prime Ministers of the
eight overseas commonwealth
nations were briefed on the
April warning before they heard
Prime Minister Eden's speech
opening their conference on
world affairs.
InformantS said Sir Anthony
had formed the opinion that
Premier Nikolai Bulganin and
Communist Party Secretary Nj
kita Khrushchev took the warn
ing seriously.
Middle East Calmer
At least Sir Anthony reported
to the prime ministers the Mid
die East is calmer and Russia
so far seems to be helping in the
United Nation quest for settle
mept Of the Arab Israeli dispute
Sir Anthony told a ConserYa-
tive Party rally June / that Brit
ain would fight "if ever our oil
resources were in peril" But this
was the first disclosure he had
told Marshal Bulganin and Mr..
Khrushchev the same thing. The
Middle East is the main source
of Britain's oil supplies.
Sir Anthony apparently made
no direct reference to the warm
ling in his speech to the prime
ministers. But he told them
they stand in danger Of being
overwhelmed in a new trade war
with Russia unless they reshape
their policies.
New Competition Seen
In an appraisal of the aims
and trends of Russia's new-look
regime. Sir Anthony predicted
an era Of developing competition
between the East and West for
influence in the uncommitted
nations of Europe, Asia and
Africa.
The To-day talks began in the
British cabinet room at No. 10
Downing Street, Sir Anthony's
official residence. In some ways
the talks serve the purpose of a
super-cabinet meeting Of the
commonwealth.
But no firm decisions can
emerge. The prime ministers
can only swap ideas and infor-
nation. Any conclusions they
may reach will have to be taken
back home for discussion and
possible action by their govern
ments.
