...week's end, after a two-hour conference with Dwight Eisenhower and Loy Henderson, John Foster Dulles read out a statement, quoting the President, specifically warning Syria not to commit aggression or engage in "subversive activities directed toward the overthrow of the duly constituted governments" of her Arab neighbors. If Syria does this, warned the President of the U.S., she will face the military-economic force of the Eisenhower Doctrine...
...that the U.S. intends "to isolate Egypt by forming a Mediterranean alliance consisting of a number of North African states, with Spain as its center."

The U.S. embassy estimate was that...
While Foreign Minister Christian Pineau flew off to enlist support for the idea in six South American capitals and Washington, the Arabs said that they are interested in hearing only one word-independence-and that each day without it widens the gap between Arab and Frenchman, drives moderate Arabs to relentless choices, and makes more difficult an eventual reconciliation in peace...
