The British embassy announced that 1,400 nationals, including half its staff's dependents, had been evacuated from Egypt "because of the present grave situation." The Orient Line shifted three liners from the Suez route to sail the long way around the Cape of Good Hope. In a saber-rattling speech that old Socialist, France's Foreign Minister Christian Pineau, compared Nasser to Hitler and demanded "a very clear will to use force...

Checking on imports from the Orient (a service" the museum performs gratis for some art importers) has also tipped Fuller off to good buys, set him up to get in first bids to dealers. Thanks to Fuller, the museum today owns the only Japanese broken ink scroll by Sesshu (TIME, May 14) outside Japan; its 16th...

Two hours after an announcement that he and Premier Mollet had accepted an invitation to Moscow (TIME, March 12), Pineau unleashed a stinging attack on France's Allies for their failure to come forth with a "policy of peace." Said Pineau: "I shall systematically orient French policy toward cultural exchanges between East and West." In another speech Pineau gave France an even stronger push toward neutralism.
