White China reversed an appar

Russia, in the crturning of Hun

If the U. N. plan for maintain
ng peace in the Middle Easl suc
teeds then U. S. policy might prove
iatlsfacory. However, should it
ail, and should Russia gain con
rol of this area, then U. S. policy
n the Middle Eaat will have had
atastrophic consequences.
For while we have gained

France. Moreover, the British are '
largely is the mess they are now
contending with because of our iri
sistence that they get out of Egypt
in the first place.
Boiled down to simple terms,
the British-French invasion of
Egypt was not a complete success
because, first, it dragged on so
slowly after the announcement
that the troops would be put
ashore. And, second, the Russian
threat to meet force with force in
Egypt, probably stopped the ex
pansion of the invasion and cer
tainly made Russia the champion
»f many Arabs.
The result is that the -Suez Can
pi is still blocked, and Russia is
Still able io secretely - fomeat

Meanwhile, without the lifeline
that has long been protected by
British troops, .England will have
to undergo economic consequenc
es and probably gas rationing. The
same is true for France.
It is true that the invasion, and
the Israeli attack, knocked out
Egyptian military equipment, and
Closed ports which could have re
ceived war goods from Russia.
These goods are now being landed
in Syria and Lebanon, according
to reliable reports. The British are
firmly in control of Port Said and
can control shipping to Egypt, if
they are bold enough to do so, a
Step which might cause trouble
With Russia.
The defeat for Russia in recent
weeks has come in eastern Eu
rope. not in the Middle East—
where the issue is yet to be decid
ed. Hungary's resistance to'Rus
sian force has dearly shown the
world what Russian denomination
means for the people of eastern
European countries collaborating
With Moscow.
Even leaders like Tito and Neh
ru have condemned the bare-faced
murder of thousands of Hungsr

Vie people's revolt for freedom
