This reasonable goal was something less than what was sought when the conference was first proposed three weeks ago. Then the angry British and French wanted a fast session to whip off an ultimatum backed by force to smash the pretensions of the Egyptian strongman. But by the time the 200 diplomats and aides gathered around the hollow rectangle in Lancaster House last week, even the British were beginning to say that their utter dependence on the canal for oil imports was not really so utter.

From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (with three hours out for lunch and rest), under the eyes of hard-eyed guards armed with Winchesters and heavy sticks, they smash granite and push wheelbarrows.
