Africa.
Despite the dozens of bill

pean countries, the political
blows France and Britain have
suffered in recent months have
thrown their economic struc-
ture into a tailspin which has

Germany is prosperous. But
her people are unwilling to
tie their destinies to the shaky
North Atlantic coalition. The

so the German people believe

caution be observed. They see
no real sense in antagonizing
the USSR by an about effort

him on the steps of the White
House as he has done with
other foreign visitors.
This also explains the origi-
nal desire of the White House
and the State Department
to invite Yugoslavia's Presi-
dent Tito to the United
States in the face of strong
opposition from the American
public and a large number Of
members of Congress who re-
f1ected not only their per-
sonal dislike for this visit but
also Of millions of constit-
uents. Tito is not an Asiatic,
of course, but he has strong
ties with Nehru and Nasser,
whom the administration con-
siders the leaders of the
Asians. Because of his stat

miniStration seems determined
to overlook the American
peoples opposition to his visit

noticed sentence in President
Eisenhower'S inaugural adj
dress that "the world is where
our destiny lies' may be the
key to our foreign policies in
the years to come. This was
more clearly pointed out in a
recent conversation between
Paul Hoffman. one of the
Chief Executives intimate
foreign policy advisers, and a
distinguished w shington
Hebrew pastor. Answering the
pastors question whether it
would have been harmful for
the Presiden to receive Sir

man said that this might have
seriously annoyed the Asians
with whom we must get along

Secretoy's Action Said to Have Saved
England From Economic Disaster

his own scheme. The truth is
just the opposite.
When the Secretary of State
learned that the British and
French were going to use
force anyhow, he felt that he
should disassociate the United
States Immediately from any
program which might even re-
motely be considered in the
Arab world to be a connivance
with the British and French to
secure their detectives by mill
tary force. His withdrawal was
a protective step.
All during the last three
weeks of October, 1856. the
United States Government
was reiterating through vari-
GUS channels to the London
and Paris governments its
view that military force should
not be used. Intelligence re-
ports from abroad told the
administration here Of the
mobilization of ships and
equipment for a landing in
Suez. When the President and
Secretary Of State said pub
licly that the United States
had not been consulted"
they were being literal about
the fact that the timing of
the ultimatum and the nature
of the notice given to the
world were not known in ad-
vance.
The use Of force itself, how
ever. had been discussed pre-
viously with the American
Government. Failure to CON
suit" the United States on
the ultimatum was due to the
fact that the British and
French knew the United States
would not give its consent.
Inside the Eisenhower ad-
ministration among the men,
bers of the cabinet there still
is puzzlement. 1t is incom-
prehensible to them that the
British should have embarked
on such an adventure at all.
AS one Of them put it. no gen.
eral starts a military move
ment without making sure his
supply line is secure. Didn't
the British realize that. once
they used military force. the
pipelines in the Middle East
would be blown up at once and
the canal blocked?
Nobody here on the inside
understands why such an ex-
petition was ever authorized
by the British cabinet. But
when it came. the duty Of the
United States was to save
Britain and France from an
economic disaster. Had Amer
lea sided with its Western al
lies at the time, the last oil
pipeline in Syria would have
been blown up. Then Western
Europe would. indeed. have
been in a terrible plight. A
whole economy would have
collapsed because there was
not enough oil Immediately
available at that time from
any other source to keep the
economy Of Western Europe
going. Factories. homes and

vitality dependent on oil nova
days.
What did America, under
the leadership of Dulles, do?
The first and most pressing
consideration was to do every
thing possible to prevent the
blowing up of the last big pipe
line in the Middle East. Ac-
cordingly. the United States
promptly took the position be-
fore the United Nations that
a ceaSe-f1re must be instituted
and all troops withdrawn from
Egyptian territory.
This move caused resentment
in Britain and France and led
to an expression of the mar
row view that the United
States was voting with Soviet
Russia" But the move did save
Western Europe. 1t gained
time-the most precious factor
in diplomacy, especially in a
crisis that easily could have
led to the intervention Of the
Soviets and a world war.
Fortunately, during his i'll
ness. Dulles had at his side
the able Undersecretary. Her.
bert Hoover. jr., who is init
mately familiar with the Mid
die East.
The British French military
resources were not big enough
to carry through the Suez ex-
petition. AS 1t was. the action
even for q few days was so
expensive that it nearly de-
stroyed the standing Of the
British pound in international
exchange.
Officials here are asking:
How on earth could the British
have carried on financially
through a prolonged occupa-
ton Of Suez, with long drawn
out guerrilla fighting, too?
Maybe they counted on Ameri-
can help. for certainly only
with American help could the
expedition have been a success.
Why Britain went ahead any
how after America plainly said
1t would not be a party to the
use of military force to UNI
seat a dictator is still mex
plicable here.
But while the outcome has
left in its wake some bad feel
ing In London and Paris. the
fact is that the diplomacy OF
John Foster Dulles saved Eng
land and the economy Of
Western Europe. Instead of
there being a disaster in the
Middle East" for which the
Democratic partisans here
recklessly say America was
responsible. 1t was President
Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles who saved the world
from disaster.
Those American boys who
aren't being drafted would to-
day be in uniform, American
business would be on a war
basis. and gas rationing would
have been imposed here in
November but for the forbear-
ance and skill Of the Secre-
tary Of State.
Some day in Britain, when
they get all the truth, they
will realize that In the last
three months of 1856 John
Foster Dulles saved them and
the free world from an
economic disaster Of frightful
magnitude.
