What unites the three kings is a common fear of the Communist influence that Nasser and the Syrian army extremists have brought into the Middle East by their arms deals.

The first British ship since last October's invasion-the freighter West Breeze with a cargo of peanuts from Hong Kong-went through the canal and paid its dues in Swiss francs (Nasser has not yet consented to accept either French or British currencies). The ship was chartered by a Hong Kong firm doing business with Red China; nonetheless the flag that fluttered from the stern was the "Red Duster" of the British Merchant Navy...
