...Secretary John Foster Dulles' trip to the Middle East-TIME, May 18: To one humble Canadian citizen living in England, the President's tactlessness in presenting a pistol to General Naguib-a dictator who sometimes advocates lawlessness-is on a par with the irresponsible and mischief-making remark of Mr. Attlee, to the effect that some Americans do not want peace...

Asked about the inscribed pistol presented to him by Dulles on behalf of Old Soldier Eisenhower, Old Soldier Naguib displayed it coldly, said, with no interest: "It's just a common pistol." Dulles' first written statement on the canal base had unhappy results. He intended to soften the effect of Churchill's blast, but the Egyptians and their noisy press took his remarks as a blanket endorsement of Churchill's position...
