Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, showing little effect of his recent cancer operation, arrived, talking generally of economic aid to see Europe through the oil crisis, and of "burying past discords." In private conferences, first with Pineau, then with Lloyd. Dulles assured them of U.S. backing for quick clearance of the Suez Canal. At the opening session Dulles lectured the assembled ministers like a Presbyterian elder, pointing out that morality is the real binding force of the Western alliance. With pointed reference to Britain and France, he said that maintenance of moral pressure was a vital factor in bringing...
...Labor's Big Bad Wolf. Said Bevan: "It is believed in France that the French [government] knew about the Israeli intention. If the French knew, did they tell the British government?

Pineau added: "But what is not, and what is even singularly paradoxical, is to conclude that the U.S. should lend its help to Nasser. Despite our bitterness, we cannot...
Entering Wedge. Pineau's argument would have been more impressive had it been disinterested. What was exercising the French Foreign Minister, as he freely admitted, was the fact that the U.N., unable to act against Russia, was clamping down hard on Britain and France. Less than 24 hours before Pineau spoke, 190 Norwegian riflemen of the United Nations Emergency Force entered Port Said amidst screams of welcome from a wild-eyed Egyptian mob. The Norwegians were the thin end of a wedge with which U.N. Secretary Dag Hammarskjold intended to winkle the reluctant British and French out of Egypt...
