...canal," said Dulles, "then I think the matter should be soluble." No one suggested that New York City was "internationalized" because the U.N. was established there, said Dulles, but neither would the U.S. want to mess around with the practical business of maintaining, policing and regulating traffic in Dag Hammarskjold's headquarters...
Until last fortnight there had been many incidents but no serious outbreaks on Israel's borders since U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold won his cease-fire last April. At that point, however, Hammarskjold, the usually quiet Swede, felt impelled to make a loud protest. He announced that he would demand that the Jordan government "punish the transgressors" who killed four Israeli bus passengers a few nights earlier.

To thank Dag Hammarskjold for pulling Israel and the Arabs apart two months ago, and to maintain the momentum for peace built up by his Palestine mission, the British had cooked up a well intentioned resolution. To make it speak for East as well as West, Britain's Sir Pierson Dixon tossed in a phrase from a Russian Foreign Ministry Office pronouncement of last April expressing hope for a peaceful settlement "on a mutually acceptable basis." Obviously it was a line the Soviets thought well...
