ers since his renomination for the
presidency, Mr. Eisenhower cov-
ered a broad range of topics.
There were a number of political
questions but he declined to out-
line specific campaign plans. High
spots of the conference:
1. He thought this government
and Egypt were talking in cross
purposes in discussing the treaty
of 1888 concerning the Suez canal.
Mr. Eisenhower said the treaty
gave other nations the right to
use the canal but not to own it.
2. He repeated his firm inten-
tion not to barnstorm or whistle-
stop in the coming campaign, but
he said this did not rule out his
appearance in any area where he
deemed it timely and necessary
to make a major political speech.

8. Asked whether he would go
into such specific areas as the Pa-

asserted that the United States is
committed to a peaceful settle-
ment of the Suez crisis.
Mr. Eisenhower said he is very
hopeful Iha, Egyp wil accept an
18-nation plan to place the canal
under international operation. He
reaffirmed a statement of two
days ago that the plan fully re-
spects Egypt’s sovereignty.
Mr. Eisenhower’s statement was
designed to smooth over what he
said was an apparent misunder-
standing between the United States
and Egypt in Cairo and Washing-
ton Thursday, the Egyptian gov-
ernment challenged statements by
the President- and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles that the
Suez canal was “internationaliz-
ed" by the Treaty of 1888.
Volunteering his reaction to the
Egyptian protest, the President
said he thought the two govern-
ments are "talking at cross pur-
poses." He said he referred to the
•anal as a "waterway internation-
alized by the Treaty of 1888."
The President explained that in
his view the treaty gives other
nations rights to use the canal in
perpetuity. It does not mean, he
said. that other nations own the
Suez canal.
The President steered a wide
course around questions designed
to ferret out U.S. reaction to
France's movement of troops and
arms to Cyprus in eonnection with
the Suex crisis. The United States
is understood to have been sur-
prised by the French move and

duced a yield of greater than a
megaton, Mr. Eisenhower said an
answer must await further evalu-
