before Senate subcommittee
today he ever said the United

the Middle East crisis.
The statement was originally
attributed to Mr.. Jackson in press

denied it two days later.

offering economic aid to other
countries. and that the Aswan

opportunity.

torial investigation with the
help of bribery.

agreement to withdraw from
the territories it had wrested
from the Egyptians last Oc-
tober.
Besides the strong possibility
of another Israel; military &C
ton if the Egyptians resume
their hit-and-run raids across
the border, the United States
has suffered a moral setback
with its allies in Western Eu-
rope as a result of its optimism
in trusting the Egyptian die
tator's informal promises.
Judging by the editorial COM
mentaries-a1most unanimous
in tone-not only in France
and Britain but also in Scan
dinavia, we are being accused
of having muffed the ball.
The Swedish newspapers
point out that Washington
prodded the U. N. into taking
action last October. This saved
Egypt from disaster and hu-
initiating defeat and, of course,
kept Col. Nasser in power. If
events had been allowed to
run their course, he would have
been swept away. Now NasSer
is behaving as though he was
the victor not only over Israel
but also over the U. N. and
the major Western powers.
But what is saddest, the
commentaries of the press
across the Atlantic say, is the
lack of any specific policy on
the part of the free world ma
tionS as an antidote to NaSser,
who in turn is the main poison
which international commun-
ism is serving in the Middle
East.
Even the liberal Swedish
newspaper Dagens Nyheter
which rarely sees any real
menace in international COM
muniSm says:

ton of Israel none of the
countries involved in the
present crisis has committed
itself to any specific position
in the Middle East. The re-
suit is a general feeling Of
helplessness and confusion in
the free world camp"
All these editorial comments
as well as utterances by men
in public life IN Europe point
out that it is the United
States and not the U. N. which
is responsible for the crisis.
Our allies In the NATO and
other friends recognize that
our motivation was honest and
well intentioned. But after the
short-lived military operations
were halted, we fumbled and
Numbered and offered nothing
constructive to stabilize the
situation.
There is no point saying,
according to these critics, that
it was UP to the U. N. to come
forward with a solution. The
action of the General Assembly
which stopped the British,
French and Israelis in their
tracks was initiated and
brought to fruition by the
United States.
We alone had the prestige
and especially the wherewith
to tell London and Paris that
they must give up operations
against Nasser even at the cost
of their complete loss of pres
tige.
We alone were in a position
to get Israel, four months
later. to agree to withdraw
from GAIA and the Gulf of
Aqaba. And it is America, and
not her European allies, which
is carrying at tremendous sac
rifice the torch for the main
tenance of freedom against
Red imperialism.
Hence, our allies and friends
insist, it is up to the United
States to find the answers to
the forthcoming crisis and we
had better be quick about it.

Shortly before his departure
on a recuperative sea cruise,
President Eisenhower was
warned by the National Sc
curity Council about the great
ly increased threat of renewed
shooting in the southern tier
of the Middle East.
Information gathered by our
political and military intelli-
gence services indicates. how
ever, that the crisis. especially
in the GAIA Strip, need not be
expected until the Egyptian
commandos in that area renew
their raids on a large scale.
This, in all likelihood, will be
preceded by a demand from
President Nasser that the
United Nations Emergency
Force-some 1000 strong-be
withdrawn under the pretext
that the Egyptian authorities
are capable of handling the
situation.
This assumption is based on
the fact that, contrary to the
indications given to the Amer
lean and U. N. representatives
in Cairo and New York that
Egypt would not attempt to
take over administration of
the GAIA territory. Col.
Nasser rushed in 70 men
headed by an Egyptian gen.
eral to administer the area.
Although the U. N. COM
mander. Maj. Gen. E. L. M.
Burns. was supposed to be in
full control. he meekly sur
rendered his power to the
Egyptians.
Secretary of State Dulles.
in his round-the clock con-
versations in Washington with
Israeli representatives, h a d
assured them that while Egypt,
under the terms of the l949
armistice had a legal right to
administer the GAIA territory,
a de facto" return would not
be tolerated until after long
cooling-off period.
Col. Nasser is reported to

Smith had been grilled for
two days in a pretrial exam
jnation by Mr.. Mortimer's at
torney-Mr. Fischbach
That was during Senator
McCarthy'S heyday when he
was being received at the
White House and the author
of the Declaration of Con-
science was getting the silent
treatment there and in other
timid quarters.
Mr. Flschhach took the Sem
ator from Maine over her
voting record. repeatedly de-
manding that she justify vot-
ing in ways other than Sena-
tor Mccarthy voted.
The Mortimer book. in the
best confidential style. had
tagged Senator Smith as an
associate of and sympathizer
with Communists, pro-Com-
munists and fellow travellers.
Mr. Fischbach's appare /
theory was that any deviation
from Senator Mccarthy would
tend to prove the allegations
He dealt IN the pleadings he
drew up for Mr.. Mortimer with
the embarrassing fact that

it the more we came to the
conclusion that it was not
suitable project for the United
States and the United King
dom-because they were in it
also--to try to conduct with
Egypt.
O. Do you think 1t FASTENED
the seizure of the canal COM
pany by Egypt?
"a. Well. it is hard to say
whether that fastened 1t or
not. We know now from state
ments made by President Mas
ser and also made by Presi-
dent Tito that there had been
plans to seize the universal
canal company made approx
imately two years before. The
plans were all ready and this
may have provided the &C.
caSion, but if there had not
been this occasion, I am quite
sure another one would have
been found.
%. Was it the hope of your
government when the United
Nations first moved into the
GAIA Strip that they would
remain for some considerable
time?
"A. We believe that it would
be desirable to have the United
Nations Eme Urgency Force
function as a barrier between
Israel and the neighboring
Arab countries. That has been
difficult to work out, partly
because Israel has not wanted
to have any elements OF the
United Nations force on the
Israeli side of the boundary.
and Egypt has not wanted to
have them exclusively on the
Egyptian or GAIA Strip of the
boundary. But I still hope
something can be worked out
there to give greater stability
and tranquility to the area
and to put a stop to the raid
ing back and forth"
This continues to be the
objective; but Nasser. stimu-
lated by Soviet advisers, is still
bluffing his way even as Hitler
and Mussolini did in the
l930s. The real question is
whether the free governments
Of the world have learned that
it doesn't pay to appease
