None of these objectives would be achieved and all of these objectives would be jeopardized by a shooting war.

Dulles, talking to reporters, pointedly omitted using the 18-nation plan's term "international operation" of Suez, which the Egyptians have said they would never accept. By thinking of the problem not in "these great slogans" but in its "detailed ingredients" and "concrete practical things" needed for "impartial, competent and efficient operation of the canal," said Dulles, "then I think the matter should be soluble."
