Robertson's `Crisis' Throws New Light
on Developments During Sinai Campaign

.

•

To the several books that al-
ready have dealt with the back-
ground of the Sinai Campaign of
1956 now is added another evalua-
tive work, "Crisis," by Terence
Robertson, published by Athen-
eum.
While it is a factual account of
what occurred when Egypt
was attacked by Israeli, British and
French forces. it also is a most
critical record of the men who
were resposible for the action.
Unlike Dr. Herman Finer's
"Dulles Over Suez," which por-
trayed the late Secretary of State
as the major blunderer in the en-
tire event, Robertson's book takes
to task many of the people who
played important roles during the
Sinai Campaign. It criticizes Dul-
les. but it especially takes to task
Ben-Gurion, Peres and rayan.
glorifies the Canadian
It
statesman, Lester B. Pearson,
who is credited with having been
responsible for bringing a solu-
tion to the created problems,
for having succeeded in secur-
ing the establishment of the
United Nations Expeditionary
Force that still functions on the
Israel-Egyptian border.
Dulles is pictured as the man
who betrayed Eden. Robertson
calls it "an unsparing. ruthlessly
conceived betrayal." He states:
"Though the Secretary of State's
motive may have been the simple,
honorable and sincere one of stoop-
ing low. even to duplicity, on the
eve of war, to prevent its happen-
ing, other considerations made the
plan easier for him to rationalize
and influenced the manner of its
execution.
"There are those who worked
under or with both of these vain
and powerful men who thought
that they could sense that Eden,
feeling himself the superior in in-
tellect and experience, was re-
sentful in the presence of Dulles
that his country's decline from
greatness should deprive him of
the right to appear as the decisive
presence in world affairs. and that
Dulles, representing a new and
greater power. was given to tact-
lessly reminding. Eden on occasion
that despite the authority he had
once enjoyed he now played a
lesser role.
"Accurate or perhaps not wholly
so. only a judgement such as this
can explain the abrasive Eden-
Dulles relationship which reached
its nadir on this occasion and pro-
vided a plausible reason for Eden's
lapse from polite restraint in his
memoirs to write with bitter
brevity: 'Such cynicism towards
allies destroys true partnership. It
leaves only the choice of parting,
or a master and vassal relation-
ship . .
"The betrayal, when it came,
demonstrated so forcibly who was
master and who was vassal that
even the most jaded diplomatic
sophisticates still relish the classi-
cal simplicity of it, the devastat-
ing effects of it."

DUSSELDORF (JTA)—Dr. Hans
Globke. for 1.4 years the top right•
hand man to former Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer, told a court
here that it was not his responsi-
bility to take steps, during the
Nazi regime. to prevent the exe-
cution of Jews.
Dr. Globke had been a senior
official of the ministry of the in-
terior during the Hitler regime
and was the legal officer who had

berg Laws.
He was called by the court as a
witness in the trial here of former
officers of Hitler's SS. charged
with mass shootings of Jews in Po-
land.
Asked by the judge whether he
had done anything to halt such
murders. Dr. Globke replied: "It
was not my responsibility. I was

fluence of Peres, Dayan's ag-
gressiveness matched his own;
he decided Israel could not af-
ford to wait for the war it must
one day fight. Dayan should
have his way."
The pursuent action is well
known by now. Dayan was the
hero of the new war, as com-
mander of the Israel Sinai forces.
Robertson's description of the
Israeli men of action is of the
utmost importance since all of
them continue to figure in the
emerging' struggle for political
domination in Israel.
Robertson's is a valuable docu-
mentary account of the Sinai
Campaign. It is a most interesting
evaluation of the personalities in-
volved, and it serves as excellent
supplementary data to Finer's
"Dulles Over Suez" and the other
books available on the Sinai issue.

Gurion and the two young men
who were entrusted by him with
Israel's defense, Moshe Dayan and
Shimon Peres, is of special in-
terest. He tells of Ben-Gurion's
return from the Negev in 1955
once again to take charge of
Israel's defense forces, and
states:
"Dayan, the 40-year-old Chief
of Staff, had grown up in the
Jewish kibbutz settlements of
Palestine serving as a boy in
Haganah, the Jewish defense
force, before the Second World
War and had become the deputy
commander of Orde Wingate's
'Special Night Squad,' which
prowled the desert ready to
intercept marauding Arabs. Win-
gate, then a young captain with
British Intelligence serving in
Palestine, had told the kibbutz
settlers: 'If you want to stop
Arab attacks, go out and at-
tack them. If they know you will
kill two Arabs for every Jew
they kill. their raids will stop.'
Attack reprisal became Dayan's
creed. He was said to be bril-
liant; in 18 months he would
have the chance to prove it.
"Shimon Peres, director gen-
eral of the Defense Ministry,
commanded affairs inside Is-
rael's borders or far beyond
them which were as concealed
as his subdued personality.
"Dayan—gay, picturesque and
belligerent; Peres—remote and
distant. less inclined to believe
in militance as the sole answer
to the Arab threat.
"When Ben-Gurion asked
Dayan what could be done about
the gedayeen, the youthful Chief
of Staff requested permission
to retaliate in strength. Peres
advised caution, suggesting that
reprisals could be dangerous if
kept up for too long or if they
were so heavy as to be out of
proportion to the provocation.
"Although Ben-Gurion needed
the patience and restraining in-
