1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Pulling into Toulon, the French hospital ship La Marseillaise

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
returns to France 140 soldiers wounded during the recent Anglo-French action

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
in the vicinity of the Suez Canal.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Casualties of a surprise invasion that was made without the knowledge of the United States.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
240 civilians were also evacuated by the hospital ship.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Foreigners banished by the Egyptians in reprisal for the Anglo-French attack.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
They will be sent to their respective consulates as soon as possible.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Shocked by the recent easy defeats of the regular Egyptian army and its loss of nearly all the weapons

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
supplied it by the Kremlin, the citizens of Cairo formed a liberation army, a force of civilians

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
which staged this resistance parade to attract recruits.

11
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Many women volunteered, but they won't be needed.

12
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
The invading Anglo-French-Israeli forces obeying the United Nations are withdrawing from the ancient land.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Egypt wasn't off the critical list a day when Syria, another of the world's most ancient lands,

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
became a trouble spot.

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
For the case of jitters that set it training a great number of so-called volunteers

16
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
to handle the arms it too was supplied by the Kremlin.

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Without rhyme or reason Damascus, encouraged by Soviet propaganda,

18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
says it is going to be attacked by the West.

19
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And it doesn't want to suffer the fate of Egypt and lose all its new arms to ignorance in handling them.

20
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Proving worthy members of the United Nations,

21
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Israeli troops leave the Sinai Desert as directed by Secretary General Hammarskjöld.

22
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Through they've rid the region of the sneak-graders on Israel who made it their home,

23
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
but the action shows the Republic to be aware of its international obligations and its desire for peace.

24
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
At Haifa the arrival of new hundreds of Jewish refugees must make Israel wonder if its peaceful overtures are not misunderstood.

25
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
For these Jews, after all their worldly possessions had been confiscated have been driven out of Egypt.

26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Victims of the petty spirit of revenge, they add to the roles of the world's homeless due to communist troublemaking.

27
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
In comparative peace after many troubled months,

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Nicosia on the island of Cyprus feels the gasoline shortage caused by the Suez Canal Crisis.

29
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Official business gets him a half pint, though even this is better than sanguinary guerrilla warfare.

30
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
The first NATO Council meeting since the breach between the Allies over the Suez brings Secretary of State Dulles to Paris

31
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
to try to win the Discord caused by the Anglo-French action in Egypt.

32
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And so when Lloyd British Foreign Minister and French Foreign Minister Christian Pinot are in a conciliatory mood for the meeting,

33
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
which becomes a forum for interpreting the foreign policies of all member nations.

34
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Descending from the plane that flew him home to England across the Atlantic,

35
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden looks tanned and fit as he returns to London from his three weeks holiday in Jamaica.

36
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
He's confident too that time will justify his policy on the Suez Canal.

37
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:14,000
The formation of a United Nations force could be the turning point in the history of the United Nations.

38
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I am convinced, more convinced than I've been about anything in all my public life,

39
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:33,000
that we were right my colleagues and I, in the judgments and the decision we took and that history will prove it so.

40
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Before returning to England in compliance with the United Nations request,

41
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
British soldiers stage a house-to-house search in Port Said,

42
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
for an officer kidnapped by Egyptian fanatics.

43
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Every building of the Suez Canal City is systematically explored for the missing man,

44
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
a 20-year-old officer of the West Yorkshire Regiment.

45
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
A car used by the abductors was found covered with blood stains.

46
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000
As the British round up and question all Egyptian males over 15, some of whom were held.

47
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
With United Nations troops now in control of the area,

48
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
the last of the invading British troops leave the Suez Canal City of Port Said,

49
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
a withdrawal that is followed quickly by the return of Egyptian forces to the delight of the citizens.

50
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
An effigy of a British Tommy is hung as a mob of Egyptians go on to demolish a statue of De Lesseps,

51
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
a sickening, stupid mob gesture for he was the brilliant Frenchman whose courage and foresight built the Suez Canal.

52
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Nationalism is rampant during the demonstration, and the raising of an Egyptian flag is a signal for general rejoicing.

53
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
At the western end of the Suez Canal, the Danish salvage ship Protector puts over the first divers

54
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
who will actually start working on submerged ships that are blocking the waterway.

55
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Under the direction of United Nations experts, the Danes with divers from several other nations

56
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
will begin by clearing away major obstructions first.

57
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Later they'll go to work on removing smaller hulks and wreckage from the canal's edges,

58
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
a signal for hope that it will not be long before a passage is cleared for at least small boats.

59
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:56,000
At Port Said, the last batch of Egyptian prisoners of war captured during the Anglo-French invasion of the Suez Canal Zone are being repatriated.

60
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
These particular men were fortunate in falling into the hands of the considerate British Tommies,

61
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
and now, all cleaned up and well fed, they go back to Cairo, none the worse physically for their experience.

62
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Of course, they're a little chagrinned at the ease with which they were captured.

63
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Its life as usual in the Gaza Strip, and the prophets of old could return here and mark little change.

64
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
The momentary excitement caused by Israel's cleanup of raiding Fedouins in the Sinai Desert is over,

65
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
and Jeremiah or Mohammed could feel at home in these marketplaces.

66
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:45,000
A United Nations truck lends a note of modernity to the scene, which shows the Western world conforming to a Christian principle,

67
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:54,000
an enterprise of care the package purveyors, which sees to it that the children of the Arab refugees living in the Strip are fed.

68
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Striking his colors not in defeat, but to attest national responsibility,

69
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Israel's General Moshe Dayan withdraws his army from the Sinai Peninsula,

70
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
an action that al-Arish made in deference to United Nations directives.

71
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,000
But it is over at Rafa in Israel that the little Mid-East Republic proves itself not only responsible, but generous.

72
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:32,000
As under United Nations supervision, it returns 5,000 Egyptian prisoners of war for four Israeli soldiers who were captured during the Sinai invasion.

73
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,000
The exchange was organized by the Red Cross, and it's carried out by Yugoslavia and United Nations police forces using Yugoslav mobile units,

74
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
a joint Red Cross-United Nations triumph.

75
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000
The crisis in the Middle East over Israel's last-minute delay in withdrawing its forces from disputed areas brings US Ambassador Lawson

76
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
to see Premier David Ben-Gurion at Tel Aviv.

77
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
It's a visit of reassurance to help the Premier with his own cabinet, which opposes him on his withdrawal policy.

78
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:24,000
The meeting has the desired results, and at in Israeli post in the Gaza Strip, the Republic's troops still held there hear the flash that they too will be pulled out,

79
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:35,000
which joins General Dayan and General Burns at [?] Airport to complete plans for the latter's UN Emergency Force to occupy the Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba area.

80
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Protesting giving up the Gaza Strip and the Aqaba area, the populace of Jerusalem gives the police a hard time,

81
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
but Premier Ben-Gurion's policy to heed the United Nations appeal to Israel prevails.

82
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:07,000
A decision causing the evacuation of Sharm El Sheikh, commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba with the Republic's troops being returned to Eilat at the head of the Gulf.

83
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Biblical Gaza too is affected, and Canada's General Burns, heading a UN Emergency Force, confers with Colonel Lindquist,

84
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,000
a commander of a Danish unit that is taking over this section from the Israeli, aided by a crack Canadian contingent.

85
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
General Moshe Dayan, who led the lightning strike against the Egyptians, directed the evacuations in both areas,

86
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
movements that continued without cessation, round the clock.

87
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
But Communist provocateurs have been active in the city of Gaza, and spurred by these hate-mongers,

88
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
the natives shout obscenities at the UN force and later stoned the men.

89
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Meanwhile, in Washington, President Eisenhower signs the bill that makes his mid-east doctrine effective.

90
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,000
He describes it as an expression by Congress and the administration of a determination to help Middle East countries preserve their independence,

91
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
a pledge in the interest of world freedom.
