ties which certainly have ex-
Iceeded substantially the only
Official Allied figure Of 100 civil
ian dead and 200 injured. Port
Said still looks a mess-some
leveled areas, gaping holes in
many buildings. ruhble in the
streets and noxious puddles Of
sewage yelling up from broken
underground pipes. One wonders
how long it will take the Egyp-
ltians and their Asian-African
friends to forget.
The allies have tacitly adj
mitted the failure of their civil
policy here. Gen. Stockwell asked
the Middle East Command for
specifically stated powers over
the civil population which would
add up in all but name to martial
law. (Now troops have military
power to jail civilians but no
legal framework in which to haul
people into court.) The pro-
clamation Of powers was bucked
on to London, however, where
politicians could ponder its UNI
pleasant implications.
U. N. Forces Get Chance
The Allies apparently do not
intend to spread their power
geographically. Recent border
incidents in which Allied troops
declined to return Egyptian fire
shows that the Allies are not
looking for a better military So
luton. Instead, the Allies wait
for United Nations forces to take
over the entire canal zone.
This makes it look as if the
toddling U. N. force has more
power in this area than the
mighty Allied Middle East Com
mand. That power is, of course,
strictly moral.
If the U. N. pulls it of and
can keep peace and also reopen
the canal. then the world organ
ization will have taken another
step toward the role hopefully
charted for it after World War
II.

Through the Port Said mess

The Eden family physician. Sir

have been trying to get the
Prime Minister to take a rest.
Sir Horace attended him at
No. 10 Downing last night. a
few minutes after Sir Anthony
discussed the Middle East situa-

to call off immediate public en-
