Direct personal contacts be-
tween President Eisenhower
ard Britain's new Prime Min
lister Macmillan have already
have been established and the
Briton is expected in Wash
ington within the next three
weeks.
There will be a very earnest
endeavor to repair the severely
damaged Anglo American
fences which were almost
destroyed by the former prime
minister, Sir Anthony Eden.
Even in the days when Sir
Anthony was foreign minister
in the Churchill cabinet his
artificial and frequently SUI
percilious personality irked
President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary Dulles.
American diplomats who
had dealings with Sir Anthony
said: He looks like a states
man: he acts like a statesman,
but he is not a statesman.
The same thing cannot be
said of the new leader. He may
have a one-track mind inso-
far as the British empire is
concerned. But he is sufficient
ly realistic to understand that
Britain has shrunk from a
worldwide empire TO a rank
ing second class power.
More than Eden and even
than Churchill, Macmillan
knows that the survival of the
little that is left of the British
empire depends largely on the
closest possible understanding
and harmonious relations with
the United States.
In order to gain popular
favor with the Laborites Sir
Winston pressed for an under
standing with the Kremlin
although he knew that it was
possible only at the Kremlin's
price.
Sir Anthony went even fur
ther. In order to win Con-
sentative majority at the polls
he insisted strongly that we
attend the Geneva summit
meeting with the Bulganin-
Khrushchev team.
1t is no longer a secret that
neither President Eisenhower

nor Secretary Dulles was en-
thusiastic over that scheme.
But once they had agreed to
make that useless move they
had to play along and pretend
for a few weeks at least that
everything was fine and CO.
existence between the wolf and
the lambs was around the
corner.
Macmillan is mace of differ
ent cloth. He never relented in
his conviction that the Com
munist leadership in Russia
and China cannot be trusted
and that experiences in the
last is years show that ex-
pediency does not pay.
The conversations in Wash
ington, expected to last sew
eral days, will encompass the
world. The accent, however.
will be on the Middle East vol
cano which the administration
is convinced is about to erupt.
There the American and Brit
ish interests are akin despite
the fact that the break with
London was due to the miscar-
ried military intervention in
the Suez Canal.
The British do not have the
physical power to defend that
area from Communist en-
croachments. But they realize
that the vacuum which has
been created by the British
weakness must be filled.
Macmillan is said to be
ready to help America fill it
not for selfish reasons but for
the sake of preserving the
precious oil resources of the
free world, and especially of
Western Europe.
Macmillan is reported by
American observers in London
who have had frequent con-
facts with him in the past to
understand that the Middle
Eastern situation is closely
linked with that in the Far
East and both may erupt at
the same time.
The very recent converse
tions between the Kremlin die
tators and Communist China's

lieved to have brought q

further close coordination be-
tween the two members Of the
Axis with a population Of close
to 800 million persons.
But the British premier Is
also said to be far less I'M
pressed than his two predeces-
sors by the mass of the popu-
lation. He believes that the
superior know-how and prin-
ciples for which the free world
stands can easily overcome
the Communist threat.
But in order to achieve this
superiority over the Commu-
nists, it is essential that the
English-speaking nations
supported by the rest Of the
free world-sllow more deter
mination than in the past to
mend their fences so as to
create a real common front.
Although Macmillan did not
openly oppose the Suez Canal
intervention with armed force.
he is said to realize that it was
a great mistake because it was
unsuccessful.
He also believes that its
failure was due to the lack Of
cooperation and consultation
between Washington and Lon
don.
Eden chose to play his cards
from under the table with
devastating results not only
for himself but also for Brit
ain.
In his visit to Washington
the new British prime min
lister will assure the American
Government that there will be
no such repetition.

Publicity Seen Strong Device to Bring
Moral Force Against Red Aggressors

WHO would be given an OPP
portunity to explain the re-
cent incidents.
Naturally, the Hungarian Of
ficials now under Soviet con-
troll would argue that what is
happening IS an internal"
matter and would instruct
their representatives at the
U. N. in New York to explain
their position. But this cannot
dispose of the problem of
jurisdiction by the U. N.
For the continued presence
of Soviet troops on Hungarian
territory is an act of external
aggression. 1t cannot be justi-
fled on the ground that the
existing regime in Budapest
invited" the Soviet army to
come into the country. Every
one knows this is not true, but
it is important to take testi-
mony which will underline the
untruth as we'll as the danger
of accepting any such ex parte
explanation as valid.
1t would, for instance, be
dangerous to the peace of the
world if a strong power entered
another country with its troops
and imposed a puppet admin
istration and then claimed it
had been invited" to enter
that country. Unless there
have been uncoerced elections,
the will of a people cannot be
freely expressed by a govern
ment which is not of their own
choosing.
What the U. N. investigating
committee will develop is the
nature of the aggression COM
mitted by Soviet Russia. The
case can be documented by
testimony from refugees who
saw with their own eyes the
duress employed by the troops
sent from Moscow and by the
police officials installed by the
Soviet authorities.
If, when the final report is
made, the U. N. investigating
committee makes it clear that
the Soviet Union has COM
mitted acts of aggression and

The United Nations through
its General Assembly has
taken a constructive and, in
deed, a far-reaching step in
adopting. by a vote of 50 to 8.
q resolution which sets up a
five-nation committee to in
vestigate what has been hap
pening in Hungary.
On the face of it, this may
look to some observers as a
perfunctory move or one that
hasn't any teeth in it, but no
greater mistake could be made
than to underestimate what
really can be done to mobilize
the moral force Of the world
once the facts in a major
controversy among nations are
spread upon the record.
"Pitiless publicity" was a
phrase frequently used by
President Wilson in advocat-
ing an exposure of wrong
doing. While congressional
committees have often been
used to uncover and expose
domestic scandals, no device
Of this kind has ever been
tried on an international scale.
The United Nations AS
sembly is not a legislative
body. but it has been en-
powered by its charter to in
vestigate and discuss any ques-
ton that threatens the peace
Of the world. This concept was
one of the great contributions
made by the late Senator
Arthur Vandenberg, Republic
can of Michigan, when the
charter was written in San
Francisco in 1915.
Today United Nations In
vestigating Committee does not
have power to command wit
nesses to appear. but it can
request their attendance. and
the burden of public criticism
for any refusal to testify will
fall upon those who evade the
basic issues.
Thus, it would be proper for
the new committee to invite
the taking of testimony in
Hungary itself from officials

DAHRAN, Saudi Arabia
AS / have said in the previous
column, the known oil re-
serves in the Persian Gulf
area amount to rs per cent of
the free worlds supply. Just as
important is the rate at which
the reserves are being drawn
upon in this area. in COM
parison with the North Ameri-
can resources.
Persian Gulf producers
(Whether American, British,
or mixed companies) are,
when normally operating as
during the first 10 months of
1856, using up less than one
per cent of reserves.
In contrast, and despite the
fact that much new oil has
recently been discovered in
the United States the
Louisiana and offshore fields,
for instance - North Ameri-
can reserves are being drawn
on at the rate of 8 per cent
per year.
This does not mean that
North American oil will be ex-
hausted in IL years. Not all
the sources of supply have
been fully tapped. But it does
mean that a continued dimi-
mutton of production in the
Middle East could cause a
serious overdrawal on reserves
in the United States.
Regarding production, and
considering the normal rate,
this area produces Approximate
ly one quarter of the free
worlds whole supply. Even
with limited stoppage it is
down 10 per cent today.
1t also produces it more
cheaply. and for a variety of
reasons. In the Persian Gulf

under So per barrel. North

Three US. Ships Complete Sailing Northwest Passage

ARGENTIA, Mild, R-Three US. military supply ships left last night for their home ports, completing the first circumnavi- gation of North America by American vessels.
 The cutter Storis and buoy ten ders Bramble and Spar left Wash ington July 1, crossed the Arctic Circle in Boring Strait July 10 and recrossed it GA days later in Davis Strait.
 Weary of summer-long battle against sea, wind and ice, the ships docked at the US. naval base here to take on fuel and fresh provisions. Cmdr. Harold L. Wood, commanding officer of the Storis and the three-ship unit, said the brief stopover also pro- vided the officers and crew with rest and recreation. They covered more than 4,O0O miles in the arc tic without break.
 The Storis is bound for Kodiak, Alaska, via the Panama Canal. The Bramble steams for Miami, the Spar for Bristol, RI. All have passed thru the historic North west Passage.
 The ships were part of convoy of U. s. and Canadian vessels which converged on the arctic from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They dropped off some 100000 tons of dry goods and B. 50O,000 barrels of gasoline at DEW Line installations stretching 5000 miles across the roof of the world.
 It was the first time the bases were re-supplied by ship con- voy The work was done before by planes and shallow-draft yes sels of much smaller tonnage.

Road to McCrath Would Open Up New Farm Area

ANCHORAGE-The proposed highway from the Matanuska Valley to McGrath which is being pushed by the Anchorage Cham Der of Commerce could open up a large new farming area in Alaska.
 That is the belief of Herman Turner, agent at large for the Alaska Extension Service, who has been encouraging gardening in western Alaska for several years.
 From McGrath to Aniak, about 175 miles to the southwest on the Kuskokwim River, Turner has found the soil and climate good for agriculture. The McGrath area is similar to the Panama Valley and nearer Aniak growing condi- tions are similar to those of the MatanuSka Valley.
 Even as far north as Unalakleet Turner has found excellent soil Altho temperatures were cooler there were gardens there before anyone had ever heard of the Matanuska Valley, Turner said.
