States resolution by topheavy vote
of 81 to 5. with six abstentions. Vot-
ing against the resolution were
Britain, France, Israel, Australia,
and New Zealand. Abstaining were
Canada, South Africa, Belgium,
Laos, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The Soviet Union again was in the
affirmative.
In London, Prime Minister An
thony Eden rejected the U. N. call
for a cease-fire. He told a faulty
divided House of Commons that
military action must continue, but
denied that Britain was "defying"
the U. NJ. which, he said, had only
made recommendations Any ma
ton. Mr.. Eden commended, had the
right to make counterproposals.
The French Foreign Office echoed
the London rejection. In the Paris
view, Britain and France in their
"police action" were attempting to
restore peace in Egypt. therefore
their position was more positive
than the mere resolution Of the
U. N.
Continuous attacks on Egyptian
airflelds had all but eliminated the
Egyptian air force, the British
claimed. Israel completed the oc-
cupation of the GAIA Strip and in
dicated military action was almost
concluded.
The Suez Canal itself was re-
ported blocked. There was wide
disagreement as to who did the
blocking, but an Egyptian ship was
sunk across the narrow channel,
effectively bottling up the water
way. But shipping had already be-
gun to shun the canal when the
shooting started.
Egypt and Syria on Friday severed
diplomatic relations with Britain
and France. Cairo announced that
Egyptian troops, withdrawn" from
the invaded Sinai peninsula, were
awaiting attack along the Suez
Canal.
The Egyptian Embassy In WASH
ington declared that Syrian and
! Iraqi troops had marched into
Jordan TO place themselves at
Egyptian disposal. This develop
ment. not unexpected, brought last
night the immediate threat Of an
Israeli move against Jordan. since
the Israeli Parliament over a week
ago approved such action II other
Arab states sent military units into
Jordan. Lebanon moved toward a
war footing after an emergency con-
ference in Beirut had agreed on
support for the Arab cause. And
the former French protectorate Of
Tunis pledged support to Egypt in
a scathing denunciation Of the
British-French military interview
ton.

ain, France and this Nation pledg-
ing resistance to any aggression in
the Middle East. Mr.. Eisenhower
declared that the United States
would take the matter of the
Israeli invasion to the United Ma
tons Security Council the next
morning (Tuesday).
But the next morning the White
House had something else to think
about. Britain and France, chatting
under the naturalization of the
Suez Canal by Egyptian strong
man Canal Abdel Nasser last July.
had dispatched an ultimatum to
both Egypt and Israel, demanding
the cessation of hostilities within
IL hours. The ultimatum also re-
quired that both sides refrain from
conducting military operations
within ten miles of the Suez Canal,
and asked that British and French
forces be permitted to occupy key
points in the canal zone.
Apparently the United States had
not been consulted in advance Of
the British-F French decision to take
military action against Nasser. And
it appeared plain that the Israelis,
If not party to an advance agree
ment, were serving in their inva-
sion as a long-Sought excuse for
Britain and France to take direct
action in the Suez crisis. (See story
by Earl H. VoSs on Page A-27.)
Egypt, not surprisingly. promptly
rejected the ultimatum. Israel, also
not surprisingly, accepted it con-
tingent on Egyptian concurrence.
And promptly on the expiration Of
the time limit set forth in the I'LL

The schism dividing the Big

failed on British and French

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
War and World Chanqe

Hard on the heels Of the electro
flying anti-Soviet uprisings behind
the Iron Curtain, there occurred
last week a new distortion of the
precarious world balance of power
An Israeli invasion of Egypt fol-
lowed swiftly by British French
military action to occupy key points
in Egypt's Suez Canal zone.
With stunning swiftness, event
followed event and as the week
ended the world was again anx-
iously watching the flames of war
still restricted, to be sure, but
threatening as always.
Aside from its effect in the Mid
die East, long considered one of the
worlds powder kegs. the events in
Egypt administered a profound
blow to the so-called Big Three
alliance. symbol of the Vests mill
tant resistance to the march Of
Soviet communism. The United
States, strongest member of the
Big Three, now stands arrayed
against the other two members
Britain and France-who, in the
words of President Eisenhower, are
in error" in their Egyptian adven-
ture so far as the United States is
concerned.
Ironically. this shock to Western
solidarity came as the free world
was rejoicing in developments
which can only mean that Russia
has forever lost her western border
of docile satellites. In fact. the
Communist world was still in up
heaval as a result of those deyel-
opments-the decision of Poland
to embrace a nationalistic form of
communism independent of Russia
and outright rebellion against both
the Soviet Union and communism
in Hungary.
Before the week was over, there
was the startling spectacle of Rus
STA and the United States voting
on one side of major issue in the
United Nations while Britain and
France voted on the other side.
This occurrence, while perhaps of
no lasting significance in itself,
seemed to symbolic the worlds
emergence, for good or i'll. from
the static stalemate of the cold war
and into some more fluid type OF
international relationship.

French More Favorable

In Paris, the government Of Pre-
mier Guy Mollet Jared somewhat
better. Public sentiment as ex-
pressed in the press appeared to
welcome the Suez military action.
The National Assembly which, in
contrast to the British Parliament,
had been prodding the government
for stern action against Nasser
since naturalization Of the canal
in July. was held certain to applaud
the joint military move.
Despite some reservations as to
the wisdom Of antagonizing the
United States by the action,
Frenchmen generally seemed re-
lieved that their nation was at
last taking the initiative. A long
and gloomy series of military and
diplomatic reverses' has seemed to
depresS the French national spirit;
recent events in North Africa only
added point to the popularity of
administering stern lesson to the
Egyptian dictator, whose machina-
tons against France among North
African Moslems have long been
particularly annoying thorn in the
French side.

Proposes Policy

On Friday Mr.. Stevenson pro-
posed four-point common poll
cy' for the United States and other
nations as a basis for restoring
permanent order to the Middle
East.
This policy, he said, would:
. Restore security on the borders
between Israel and her Arab neigh
bors.
. Insist that passage of ships
through the Suez Canal is a mat
ter of international concern :"
. Resettle the 100000 Arab refu-
gees in the area.
. Provide improvement Of eco
nomic conditions in the area for
the benefit of the people and not
just to serve political interests"
AS for Hungary, Mr.. Stevenson
urged that the American delega-
ton to the U. N. "act at once to
insure full hearing for Hungary.
Shortly after Mr.. Stevenson
spoke on Thursday, President Essen
hover stepped before the television
cameras in Philadelphia in his last
address of the campaign and said
that he had been "undisturbed by
the strident voices of those who
seem to be seeking to turn world
events to political profit
The previous night, in what was
billed as a nonpolitical broadcast,
Mr.. Eisenhower had told the coun-
try that his administration believed
Egypt had been misguided, but that
the attack on her by Britain and
France was an error" And he
promised that there will be no
United States involvement in these
present hostilities"
In his Philadelphia speech, the
President said he was proud" that
the United States had put itself
on record as being opposed to the
force applied both by the Soviets in
the satellites and by our own friends
in Egypt. In so doing. he said.
America had made the decision TO
choose q path OF honor. and added
that I'VE cannot and we will not
:ondone armed aggression-no mat
ter who the attacker. no matter

War in Egypt

The first sign of a new Middle

when Israel ordered partial mobi-
lization of her armed forces. Presi-

Odds on Eisenhower

AS the presidential race neared
the finish line, the pollstersg were
betting that Mr.. Eisenhower would
win in a walk. Although they all
forecast victory by smaller mar
gin than in 1852. they conceded
the President an average of rs
States with 306 electoral votes, 40
more than he needs to win.
But the experts hadn't forgotten
the Truman surprise of 1948, and
they avoided the bitter end of
the limb with cautious qualifica-
tons: probably" appears to be, /"

pectation. "but on the other hand"
Democratic campaign leaders in
sist that there is a good reason
for this caution, aside from the
lesson learned in 1913. They point
out that even those pollsters who
most unequivocally predict a win
for Mr.. Eisenhower grant Mr..
Stevenson a minimum of lat cleo
toral votes in southern and border
States. This base, plus pockets
of Stevenson strength in important
States. they declare, could turn
the trick. Wistfully. perhaps, they
ask these questions:
. Could the large Jewish vote in
New York City, by swinging solidly
to Mr.. Stevenson on the Israel
issue, put New York State in the
Democratic column?
. Can the reinvigorated Demo-
cratic Party in Pennsylvania. plus
a strong Democratic senatorial cam
didate, override President Eisen-
how~rs Dopulorty there?
. Is farm discomfort extensive

Hungarian Revolt

While the Vests basic unity was
being shaken inFEgypt, the con-
tinuing revolt in Hungary against
Communist rule held the attention
Of Western observers.
Beginning as popular and COM
pletely orderly protest against
Stalinist influences in the govern
ment, the Hungarian unrest quickly
exploded into full-Scale, violent
revolt against not only Stalinists
but against Russians in general
and Communists in particular. The
new cabinet Of Imre Macy, premier
who displaced Andrus Hegedus in
the anti-Stalinist shakeup. made
concession after concession to the
rebels. Threats were followed by
pleas, and pleas by promises. until
eventually the Red rule Of Hun
gary appeared to have been ended
with the resurrection of the old
bourgeois" parties--the Small
holders, the Social Democrats, and
the Peasants. Former leaders Of
those parties, prescribed and inn
prisoned these many years by the
Communists, were '"rehabilttated"
and named to important Cabinet
positions.

The President Reports

On Wednesday evening, President
Eisenhower reported to the Ameri-
can people on the Nations policies
toward the Middle East explosion.
He reiterated American opposition
to the hostilities, but pledged that
there would be no American mill
tary involvement in the crisis.
The President opened his re-
marks with an analysis of the
rapid-moving events in the satel-
lites. where he said he could dis
Germ the possible dawn of a new
day." And he disclosed that the
United States was in contact with
the new nationalist Communist"
government Of Wladislaw Gomulka
in Poland on the question Of pos
sible economic aid.
Then, taking up the situation in
Egypt, the President said the aim
of the United States would be to
do all in its power to localize the
fighting and to end the conflict"
He called the British-F French armed
action an "error" that "can scarcely
be reconciled with the principles
and purposes Of the United Nations
Charter"
Yet Mr.. Eisenhower minimized
the damage the British French ac-
ton appeared to be doing to the
Big Three alliance by saying that
United States disapproval Of the
Middle East moves lin no way mini
mics our friendship with these
nations nor our determination to
retain and strengthen the bonds
among u.s." The United Nations,
the President said, could be relied
on "as in the past" to find way
to end the bloodshed.
The President stressed that the
United States had not been con-
suited ''in any way about any phase
OF these actions. Nor were we in
formed Of them in advance"
Late yesterday the United States
offered two new resolutions TO the
United Nations General Assembly.
The White House, in announcing
the move. said the resolutions were
aimed at establishing permanent
peace in the Israel-Arab dispute.
and at working out permanent ar
rangements" for continued oper-
alton Of the Suez Canal.
