World Envoys Confer With
Israel Over Suez Blockade

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The filing
of Israel's complaint against the
Egyptian blockade of the Suez
Canal with the United Nations
Security Council brought with it
a flurry of activity at the Israeli
Foreign Office. The , envoys of
the USSR, Yugoslavia, Sweden
and Holland visited the Ministry,
where they received explana-
tions of the Israeli move.
Previously, U. S. Ambassador
Monnet Davis called on Foreign
Minister Moshe Sharett, and
British Minister Alexander Knox
Helm visited both Premier David
Ben-Gurion and Sharett. Minis-
ter Helm's visits were officially
termed courtesy visits prior to
his return to . Britain on vaca-
tion.
Meetings in New York between
Israeli delegate Abba Eban and
Soviet UN representative Jacob
Malik also dealt with the Suez
Canal issue.
In Washington, the State De-
partment is studying the block-
ade on Haifa-bound oil tankers,
and a decision on action may be
made within a few days, govern-
ment sources indicated.
While there is no desire to of-
fend the Arabs, the U. S. may
join with Britain at the United
•Nations in an attempt to force
Egypt to cease the sabotage of
the Haifa refineries through the
blockade of the vital Suez link.
The Western action has been
brought about because the Iran-
ian crisis threatens the Near
Eastern oil supply and the Haifa
refineries, owned by British and
Dutch interests, have been vir-
tually unused since Iraq quit
pumping oil to Israel in 1948.
It is considered important
that oil be brought to Haifa, the
third largest refinery in the Near
East, if the supply of Near East-
ern oil is to be adequate for At-
lantic Pact defense require-
ments. (A report • from London
stated that four British destroy-
ers have been ordered from the
Mediterranean to the Red Sea
to protect British vessels in that
area following the boarding
July 1 of. a British vessel by an
Egyptian coastal patrol which
took over the ship. for twelve
hours.)
The Department said Saudi
Arabia has been designated as
the first Arab country to be in-
cluded in the Mutual Defense
Assistance program and that the
U.S. Army will train Saudi Ara-
bian forces in the use of equip-
ment to be provided under the
agreement. The Saudi Arabian
Government agreed not to un-
dertake any act of agression
against another state.
An agreement for the use by
the U.S. Air .Force of the Dhah-
ran air field was also an-
nounced. The U.S. also agreed to
train Arabs in airfield mainten-
ance and operation. The agree-
ment said that Saudi Arabia is
considered important to the se-
curity of the United States.

U.S. Press Condemns Blockade
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Leading
newspapers here published edit-
orials condemning the blockade.
They point out that in refusing
to allOw free passage for such
ships Egypt is violating the Suez
Canal convention of 1888 and
they urge the UN Security
Council to discuss the issue.
Emphasizing, that the Egyp-
tian practice of stopping and
searching ships passing through
the Canal for materials destined
for Israel has been "a subject of
increased general annoyance"
for the last two-and-a-half
years, the New York Herald
Tribune says:
"No vital Egyptian interest is
at stake in this quasi-blockade
of Israel. It has not seriously
weakened the new state nor
contributed to Egyptian secur-
ity. But it has been a costly
nuisance to world trade, a vio-
lation of the principle of free
passage through the Suez Canal
and .an increasingly damaging
interference with oil supplies in
the whole Mediterranean region.
To create so much disturbance
for so little gain is neither le-
gally sound nor practically wise
on Egypt's part. Since repeated
diplomatic protests have been
unavailing, the Security Council
must take action—unless Egypt

takes counsel of common sense
and calls off the belligerent cus-

The New York Times points
out that the Western nations
"will condemn rigid, violent,
xenophobic actions and policies"
and that "they must be expect-
ed to insist that issues of such
grave moment as the Suez
Canal be settled with some feel-
ing for the realities of the world
struggle." The editorial stresses
the fact that "the Near East is
a crucial area for the democrat-
ic West and hence for the
United States."
