WARNING GIVEN EGYPT
“History Not Kind To Dictators”
(Rec. 9 p.m.), NEW YORK, April 9 Viscount Hailsham, Britain’s First Lord of the Admiralty during the invasion of Egypt last year, last night warned Egypt that it would not be able to maintain a Suez settlement unacceptable to the European democracies. Lord Hailsham told the New York Bar Association that Egypt might think, as a result of United Nations policy, that it possessed some strong cards.
“But let not the Egyptian Government suppose . . . they can ultimately make or, if they make, maintain a settlement unacceptable to European democracies,” he declared.
“History is not kind to dictated settlements and it is not always kind to dictators.”
Lord Hailsham also said that domination of the Middle East by Communists might mean the end of the United States endeavour to save freedom and, at best, would mean that the chances of winning Africa and Asia for democracy would be gone for a generation.
Lord Hailsham is now the British Minister of Education.
