...just what the summit leaders conference should accomplish, or how NATO should be changed. West Germany and Italy want each country to confer with its NATO allies before taking any major decisions. Their notion is to restrain such unhappy ventures as France and Britain's sally into Suez. France, which considers that the U.S. and British interfered in the Algerian war by sending arms to Tunisia and is angry about it, will demand just the opposite-hands off at least, loyal support at best, on policies which the individual country deems vital to its own interests. The French...
Chief reasons for the slowdown are a surplus of oil and light demand. The trouble started during the Suez crisis, when oilmen expanded to meet a big demand that did not come; it was made worse by the failure of the U.S. to increase oil use at a normal 6%-a-year pace. In October, demand, ran only seven-tenths of 11% ahead of October 1956.

And at week's end Israel opened the Lake Huleh reclamation project, designed to drain 15,000 acres of malarial swamp that lie partly in the neutral zone along the Syrian border. In its six years of construction, Syria had repeatedly complained to the Security Council about the project...
Discussing British public opinion at the time of the Anglo-French invasion of Suez last year, which he described as "a national aberration" on the part of England, Nicholas mentioned the brief flare-up of anti-U.N. feeling. He emphasized that the British now support the U.N. as strongly as they had before the crisis, and that British relations within the United Nations were, surprisingly, as friendly as ever...
