U.S., Britain Ask Talks
Between Israel,. Egypt
U.S. 'Strongly'
OpposedtoWar
In Near East
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 0,-
7%e United States and Britain
were moving with one-two diplo
macy today to coax Israel and
Egypt away !mini hostilities and
into negotiations to settle their
long dispute.
The State Department, taking
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
Middle East policy declaration
yesterday Os its text, laid down
this rule:
"We would be strongly opposed
to the side which starts a War
and would be. very favorably dis
posed to the side which convinces
us that it desires to maintain
peace."
The, department warned that
war would be "utter folly."
The spokesman who issued this
statement, B Lincoln White, com
pared aßritish mediation offer
made last • night to peace pro
posals put forward Aug. 26 by
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. He said there was a "close
parallel."
The State Department, mean
while still awaited Israel's list of
arms desired from the United
States. The, Israelis said yesterday
it would be submitted within the
next few days. Dulles has prom
ised "sympathetic consideration"
and Eisenhower said yesterday
the United , States stands by its
1950 pledge to- avoid a Middle
East arms race• but nevertheless
continues willing to consider re
quests for weapons needed for
"legitimate self-defense."
This is the same policy laid
down in the 1950 declaration.
Eisenhower's reaffirmation of it
and a reference to Dulles' Aug.
26 speech marked a shifting of
the spotlight to positive points
and away from the rather nega
tive attitude heretofore of "deep
concern" and watchful waiting.

English Offer
To Arbitrate
Peace Talks
LONDON, Nov. 10 (Al—Britain
today told its ambassadors in the
Israeli and Arab capitals to press
for acceptance of Prime Minister
Anthony Eden's offer to mediate
in the Palestine. dispute.
• The Foreign Office said the en
voys will express the "warm hope
of Her Majesty's government for
a peace settlement" and seek an
swers to - Eden's peace appeal.
In a speech last night Eden said
"the British government and I
personally are available , to render
any service" to bring about an
Arab-Israeli peace. He reiterated
the British-American offer 'to
guarantee a settlement.
In a statement on the Eden dec
laration, the Israeli Embassy said
Israel is ready "to meet Arab rep
resentatives, without precondi
tions on either side, for the amic
able discussion of a just and last
ing peace."
The Foreign Office did not
name the Arab countries which
will be asked to support Eden's
appeal, but presumably-represen
tations will be made to Egypt,
Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Leh
r anon and Iraq.

Arab countries might lead to a
major war.

told newsmen that Israel and the
Arab countries could take up
Eden's proposals as an offer of
mediation or support of any•other
means of bringing about an end
to ArA-Israeli strife.
