- silence

- It is the serious crowd of the days of international tensions that welcomed Sir Selwyn Lloyd, the British Minister for Foreign Affairs,

- and Sir Murphy, who represented the United States. Sir Pineau joined them in turn in Downing Street

- to examine the measures to take in front of the overthrow accomplished by General Nasser.

- The Suez Canal, the international road to the East, opened by Ferdinand de Lesseps, suddenly became the international focus of attention.

- Only 2 years ago, Nasser and the representative for Great Britain, when signing the evacuation of Suez,

- secured the regime of the canal up to the term of the mandate set up to 1968. In front of a rapturous crowd, like any time he is seen in public,

- Nasser pronounced the nationalization of the canal

- through a one-sided decision in defiance of rights and legality. By this overthrow that reminds us of others, is Nasser looking for an outcome to dictators’ fate?
