Editors Bid Army Reveal
Congressional Tourist List

The Army had a demand to-
day that it reveal the list of
congressional passengers who
have Travelled free on Panama
Canal Co. steamers.
Herbert Brucker, editor of
the Hartford Conn Courant
and chairman of the Freedom

of the lists in a telegram to
Army Secretary WILDER M.
Brucker.
The editor called attention
to President Eisenhower's state
ment that when anyone travels

Of no reason on earth why the
passenger list should not be

could ever give such a pledge"
he said. e. The history of
every nation shows that it is
not sufficient to have good laws
II the power to enforce them is
lacking. These conditions APP
ply equally on the international
plane. To turn a blind eye to
the realities of the situation
would be to hazard, not only the
security Of our own country,
but to surrender our RESPONSE
bilities in the world. This we
are not prepared to do"
Sir Anthony warned against
"haSty or over optimistic iudg-
ment" on the outcome OF secret
talks taking place in New York
under the umbrella of the United
Nations Security Council.
President Eisenhower in his
press conference on Thursday
was reported to have said that
you must have peace with justice
or 1t is not peace" said sir
Anthony. Il agree with those
words. That is why we have
always said that with us force
is the last resort. {"
Sir Anthony emphasized that
his governments policy IN rela-
ton to the Suez crisis remains
as he first defined it on July 30
that Britain could not accept
any arrangement that would
leave the canal "in the un-
fettered control OF single power
which could exploit 1t purely for
purposes Of national policy
Al one point Sir Anthony
chided John Foster Dulles. al
though he did not mention the
United States Secretary OF State
by name. The Prime Minister
said the canal dispute had been
linked with "colonialism"-a
clear reference to remarks made
by Mr.. Dulles at a Washington
news conference.
mo comment could be more
misleading" said Sir Anthony
"Colonialism has nothing TO do
with the matter one way or an
other. We have never disputed
Egyptian sovereignty. What is
at stake in this dispute is wheth-
er the sanctity OF contract has
