...Turks welcome British control of Cyprus because the base also protects Turkey, and because they, as co-partners in the Baghdad Pact, see eye to eye with British policy in the Middle East. They have said that they will not tolerate control of Cyprus by Greece, a country which they fear might, at some change of government, easily become neutralist. Cyprus is only 40 miles from the Turkish mainland, and governs the southern approaches to that country. A neutralist Cyprus would compel the Turks to reorient their whole defense...

Dulles swapped visions and ideas with Canada's visiting Secretary for External Affairs Lester Pearson on their joint crusade to build the 15-nation NATO pact into some form of political community (TIME, April 30 et seq.). "We are only in the first innings," Pearson emphasized. "Our own views," echoed...
...Premier Giuseppe Saragat, the party's leader, were far from happy to see Matteotti negotiating with Stalin Peace Prize winner Nenni. And right from the start, Nenni flatly refused to meet the most critical Social Democratic condition for collaboration-a demand that he break his "unity of action" pact with the Communists.

...Christian Democratic Party Boss Amintore Fanfani has steadfastly refused any such "opening to the left" with Nenni until Nenni breaks his "unity of action" pact with the Communists. But at week's end another partner in the Christian Democratic coalition, the Saragat Socialists (who broke with Nenni nine years ago on the very issue of his Red allegiance), suddenly accepted Nenni's invitation to talk things over, while stoutly insisting that this did not mean any change in their determination to avoid all contact with Nenni's Red allies...
