He OF> BOTTLES SOLD added that he hoped that, as negotiations and discussions de- aGEST veloped, the Egyptians would be more disposed than they are now to comply with the UN resolution. The United States, said Mr. Dulles has from time to time made known its views on this subject. Later in the week, however, the State Department indica- ted that it will not intercede in the Suez settlement to guar- antee free passage of the Canal to shipping bound to and from - Israel, because "it would not be appropriate for this Govern- ment to urge the parties di- rectly involved to introduce a matter of principle at this point in the discussions." To do so would undoubtedly hinder the achievement of a final agreement," said Assistant Secretary of State Thurston B. Morton, on behalf of Secretary Dulles. Mr. Morton's communi- cation was addressed to Chair- man Leverett Saltonstall, of the Senate Armed Services Commit- tee, who recently joined with a bipartisan group of legislators to Ta urge the State Department to mai intercede in the Suez settlement to the end that justice would be done in connection with 9/01/ Israel's interests. The State Department stress- ed, however, that "restriction on traffic to and from Israel is one E LUX E aspect of the entire problem of Arab-Israel relations, an im- al7,1e1/W provement of which is a primary objective of the United States in the Near East."

Reports that Egyptian assent to a formal peace treaty or non- aggression pact with Israel had been demanded as a prerequisite for Egypt's eligilibity for Ameri- can aid met with speedy denial during the week. The New York Times report- ed from Cairo that Egyptian sources had acknowledged that American hopes for peace in the Middle East had been voiced by Ambassador Jeffer- son B. Caffery during the dis- cussions, but that these had stopped far short of getting Egyptian agreement to peace as a condition for aid. Dr. Mahornoud Fawzi, the Egyptian Foreign Minister, was quoted as taking the position that the current Egyptian- Israel armistice agreement was sufficient guarantee against a renewal of hostilities by Egypt. Israel Ambassador Abba S. Eban, saw Secretary of State Dulles in the first of a series of top-level meetings on the new situation in the Middle East. Ambassador Eban drew the attention of the Secretary of State to reasons for Israel's apprehensions, and cited reasons why stepks should be taken to allay Israel's fears. He subse- quently spent an hour in dis- cussion with UndereSecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith on the British withdrawal from the Su- ez Canal zone. There w a s speculation in diplomatic circles here that Mr. Eban is being consulted by the State Department on a reported offer by Egyptian Premier Carnal Abdel Nasser that Egypt might agree to have the United States act as mediator in an effort to re- solve Israel-Arab differences. This arose from a published interview in which Premier Nasser indicated that Egypt wants peace with Israel in the wake of the Suez settlement. ' Ambassador Eban completed a series of top-level discussions at the State Department with an hour-long discussion with Secre- tary of State Dulles, but declined to divulge details of the vital talks. Mr. Eban, who left for Israel Tuesday, stated he is. now in a position to give his government "a clear picture of the secre- tary's thinking of this stage."
