Britain Calls
Suez Users 10
Meet tuesday

LONDON. April 81 (P.-Brit-
ain tonight called for a meeting
Of the Suez Canal Users Asso-
citation in London Tuesday to
discuss Egypt's new plan for
running the great waterway.
There were reports Britain has
decided to allow British ships to
use the canal. although it OPP
posed the Egyptian plan In de-
bate before the United Nations
Security Council in New York
yesterday.
Britain took the position at
the United Nations that the
Egyptian declaration cannot be
regarded as q final settlement.
Sir Pierson Dixon Of Britain,
council president, said the plan
needed study and his govern
ment may wish to consult with
other user governments not rep
resented on the council"
This apparently was the rea-
son for the Foreign Once an
nouncement here that SCUA has
been called to meet in London.
Plan Given Wednesday
Egypt submitted its plan to
the United Nations Wednesday.
1t calls for Egyptian operation
Of the canal. but agrees to arbi-
tration Of complaints Of dis
elimination and claims for COM
pensation.
The World Court also would be
allowed to decide disputes over
Interpretation of the 1888 Con-
stantinople Convention for free
dom Of navigation in the canal.
The United States. the Philip
pines and Nationalist China said
in United Nations debate they
were willing to give the Egyptian
plan a try.
Britain. Australia, Colombia,
Cuba, France and Sweden called
for replacement Of the Egyptian
plan by an international agree
ment.
Britain has cautioned British
ships to stay clear Of the canal
pending a final settlement. but
one British vessel already has
used the waterway.
British Acceptance Foreseen
Diplomats here said Britain
now appears to be moving to-
ward accepting the Egyptian
plan, because it is unlikely 1t
could be improved much from
the British standpoint.
1t was believed Britain is be.
ginning to feel it would be better
to accept an unsatisfactory stu
alton under protest than to con-
tinue an argument at the high
cost Of not using the now cleared
canal.
Only last night Harold Wat
kinson. British Minister OF
Transport. said President Mas
ser's terms for the use of the
canal contain some Of the necI
essary safeguards"
He said that while they do not
meet requirements set down by
the Security Council much
could depend on how they are
interpreted and applied by the
Egyptian Canal Authority"

have been encouraging and help.
ling determination and in
dependence everywhere for all
peoples who feel ready for it.
But the Soyiets are again using
the pretense that the United
States is doing everything pos
Isible to encircle Russia. The
masters Of the Kremlin know full
well that the United States and
her friends and allies act solely
for defense and for no other
purpose. That is true even in the
face Of constant Russian trucu-
Ilence. subversion and infiltration.
We have only to look at the re-
cent troubles they have stirred
up in the Middle East.
They are back at their old
tactics Of simultaneously Offer
ing peace pacts and threatening
to unleash a "hot" war upon
those nations that stand UP to
them and refuse to submit to
their terms.
The Soviets would have US
settle for what they call Co
existence" Their idea Of CO.
existence Is, in reality, a nervous
and perilous truce which could
lead TO war. Co-existence is Rus
sia's device to avoid making the
necessary concessions for an
assured world peace. In fact, CO.
existence is Russia's idea of max
ing everybody do what Russia
wants.
/ There are some people, and I
|regreat to say some governments,
who have not yet accepted the
fact that but for Russian intran-
sigence the world would now be
enjoying the pursuits of peace.
Mankind today is sick with anx-
iety and torn by fear of another
world war. solely because Rus
STA wants it that way.
1t is up to Russia to dispel the
belief that she cannot achieve
her legitimate aims in q free and
peaceful world. She can achieve
peace. If she really wants it, as
all other nations do.
For If Russian performance
were up to its pretended peace
full propaganda. there would
have been no conflict in Korea,
no Far East crisis and no Middle
East crisis. There would have
been no slaughter of Polish and
Hungarian people, and no crush
ing burdens of an ornaments
race. The world would be di-
recting its energies toward pro-
duction for peace and the inn
provement of the standards Of
living of all peoples everywhere.
Urges Real Bi-Partisanship
Every attempt to reason with
the Russian dictators and every
effort at reasonable compromise
and Cancellation have failed.
More than ever now our for
eign policy needs to be clear and
unmistakable. Let us stop run
ming around the globe with
disjointed pieces of policy pulled
out of the air and made on the
fly. Let US have real frankness
and bi-partisanship in the adj
ministration's relations with
Congress. We must check the
growing skepticism that in our
foreign policy we don't know
where we are going or what we
are doing. Above all, let us be
sure that the Russians and our
allies do not continue to have
that idea.

and Communist agitation.
Must Tread Cautiously
The King has depended for his
main strength on the Bedouin
people of Jordan's original ter
ritory. This element rallied to
him recently to keep dissident
officers from challenging his au-
thority with his army. the Arab
Legion.
Communist propaganda has
made such deep inroads among
Jordanians in the last year that
King and government must tread
cautiously in their campaign to
win back popular support. So the
moderate government has taken
up a few Of the issues the Com
munists themselves made popu-
lar in their campaign to discredit
the West.
On the issue Of the Eisenhower
Doctrine. they have turned the
tables on the Reds and the Ma
bulsi cabinet, which Hussein de-
posed April 10. starting the cur
rent crisis.
The Communists made the
Eisenhower Doctrine a dirty
word. They convinced many peo-
pie 1t was an imperialist device
to destroy Jordan's sovereignty.
Propaganda Snarled Up
When Mr.. Eisenhower sent
Special Envoy James p. Richards
TO the Middle East to explain the
doctrine and arrange financial
aid for those countries using 1t
the Communists made this ar
explosive issue.
Mr.. Nabulsi wanted Mr.. Rich
ards to visit Jordan. He wanted
American financial help, which
Jordan sorely needs.
But Mr.. Nabulsi got snarled
up in propaganda put out by the
leftists in his own government
though not one himself.
So he had to hedge on the in
vitation to Mr.. Richards. In a
fiery speech Just before he was
fired. Mr.. Nabulsi said:v
IF the United States offered
me 500 million and said it's
yours II you will fight commu-
nisIn.' would reject 1t II this
means that ] must fight COM
munism for the United States"
The Communists got hold OF
the speech. distorted 1t and
broadcast 1t. Mr.. Nabulsi later
put out a correction but the
damage already was done.
Now Hussein has used the issue
against the Reds and the once
popular Nabulsi. saying:
1T was the Nabulsi govern
ment which invited Richards and
asked for American financial
aid. We here announce that II
is not our policy to invite Rich
ards, and Jordan's policy toward
the Eisenhower Doctrine will be
decided in agreement with other
Arab liberated states"

Soviet Delegate Valerian
Zorin put the Moscow rejection
before the subcommittee in q
statement that accused the
United States, Britain and
France Of preparing for a new
war. Canada is the fifth mem-
ber of the U. N. disarmament
group.
Mr.. Zorin said the Soviet
Union considers the 5-month-
old talks deadlocked and
charged the West with evad-
ing issues and lying. His OBJ
jections were a rehash of pre-
vious Soviet criticisms of the
Western proposals.
| Delegate Comments
The Russian delegate turned
q harsh thumbs down on the
newest Western proposals for
q two-year ban on nuclear
weapon tests and the latest
version Of President Eisen-
hower,s open skies inspection
plan to guard against surprise
attack. He said the Soviet
Union stands by its proposals
for a first-stage disarmament
agreement, emphasizing that 1t
should be preceded by a pact
to halt nuclear weapon tests
Immediately.

disarmament agreement in
clude a pledge to renounce for
all time the use Of nuclear
weapons. q Is per cent cut in
all defense spending, elimina-
ton of foreign military bases
and a cutback of foreign forces

armament subcommittee has
not taken a single step forward

ing the West, he said:

circles (of the west) are not

making such agreement con-
tingent on q reduction in con-
