SILENCE AT SUEZ: Anglo-Egyptian talks over the protection of the vital Suez Canal have been suspended without agreement. The single land bridge between the Eurasian land-mass and Africa, with front and back doors on two seas, the Canal Zone has unsurpassed port and transportation facilities, is a fully equipped technical and military base, and is a vital 90-mile natural pivot of defensive-offensive strategy for the Middle East. Picture shows: Corner of the huge British arms dump of Tel EL Kebir in the Suez Canal Zone.
