Russia Backs Up Egypt's War Warning In Suez Crisis
LONDON—(UP) — Egypt served, notice on the West today that any attempt by a "users assn." to take over operation of the Suez Canal "means war."
Soviet diplomats in London voiced a similar warning.
They said Russia wants to avoid any such conflict over the Suez but at the same time they let it be clearly understood that Russia would be among those nations providing Egypt both with volunteers and arms.
The Egyptian warning came in the midst of an angry international exchange of charges, and counter-charges in which the only conciliatory words came from U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.
Mr. Dulles said at a press conference in Washington that the United States does not intend to shoot its way through the Suez Canal or enter any shooting war if Egypt tries to block the canal. He said the United States still "seeks a just and peaceful solution to the Suez question." But he supported the association.
In the House of Commons in London, during the second day of debate over the British and French plan to set up the association for the canal, Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd made it clear the government had no intention of backing down from its firm stand that it will not allow the international waterway to remain under the sole control of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
