C.S. lias bio Intention i
Of Shooting Its Way
Through fhe Canal
WASHINGTON, (^—Secretary
of State Dulles saBd'yesterday the
Urytpd States has nor irttention of
shooting its way thru the Suez
Cana-1 if Egypt blocks the passage
'of ships.
' Dulles told a news conference
the United States would favor di
verting its vessels around Africa
under such conditions, regardless
of the extra cost involved.
He said the if.S. government is
ready to consider dollar loans to
friendly countries who might be
unable to withstand * such a fi
nancial burden.
■ At the same time, Dulles ap
pealed to Egypt to reconsider its
initial violent objection to a plan
for setting up an association of
Suez Canal users.
British Prime Minister Eden
Steveijson Remark
‘Ridiculous’, Says
White House Aide
(By the Associated Peeks*
A campaign comment by Adlai
Stevenson that President Eisen
hower "is not master in his own
house" was described as “ridicu
lous today by James C. Hagerty,
White Hoijse press secretary. The
President had no comment.
Stevenson, delivering the first
nationwide TV-radio speech of his
1956 campaign for the presidency,
said in Harrisburg, Pa., last night
that “from here on the future of
Republican leaders will depend
not on Eisenhower, but the Re
publican heir apparent, Mr. Nix
„ *»
on.
Mention of the vice president’s
name evoked hearty applause
from thousands of Democrats as
sembled for a $50-a-plate fund
raising buffet and party rally.
Reacting quickly, Republican
National Chairman Leonard W.
Hall said in Washington that Ste
venson had “kicked off his cam
paign with a resounding thud."
And Postmaster (Jetjeral Arthur
Summerfield dismissed Steven
son's speech as “devoid of facts,
issues or substance."
Stevenson and his running
mate, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee, headed for Washington to
day where Stevenson will spend
a week preparing tfor the gruel
ing “precinct by precint” drive
that lies ahead.
(Hagerty announced that Eisen
hower will make a major farm
speech in Peoria, 111., Sept. 25, and
will give Nixon a personal sendoff
on the latter’s campaign trip.)
AS MAINE GOES . . .?
WASHINGTON, <JF>—The Dem
ocratic National Committee said
here yesterday that “if the pat
tern of past elections holds true
in 1956, the Maine election dearly
forecasts a Democratic presiden
tial victory.”

disclosed Wednesday that Britain, |
France and the U.S. would organ
ize such an authority.
"While Dulles’ meeting with re
porters was still in progress, the
Egyptian embassy announced that
Egyptian Ambassador A h dn e d
Hussein had called on Dulles a j
few minutes earlier to give him
‘‘the urgent message that the
scheme which Sir Anthony Eden
wants to impose on Egypt is an
open and flagrant aggression on
Egyptian sovereignty and its im- J
plementation means war.”
The embassy said the ambassa
dor told Dulles:
“If the U.S. desires war, then -
she may support this scheme but
if her desire is to work for a
peaceful solution, the scheme has
to be abandoned.”
Dulles’ statement yesterday ap
parently had the personal backing
of President Eisenhower.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, told reporters at
Eisenhower’s Gettysburg farm
that the President had conferred
on the Suez crisis with Dulles by
telephone before 'Julies' new*
conference. ; ’ ‘' !
In response to questions, Dulles
said he hopes other nations will
join the users’ association. But he
said the United States would go
it alone with Britain and France
if necessary.
Dulles also said he could not
recall that Eden had ever said
Britain intends to shoot its way
thru the canal if Egypt tries to
stop British vessels from going
thru.
If Egypt refuses to allow vessels
passage, Dulles said, it would be a
clear violation of the 1888 con
vention, which promised access
by all ships to the canal in peace
and war.
It would be up to each country
to decide what to do in such a
case, Dulles said.
If Egypt halted any ships, he
said, members which signed this
1888 convention would be free to
take steps thru the United Nations
or take what Dulles called other
appropriate action under the cir
cumstances.
