Secretary of State Dulles today told a press conference that the United States deplores the transfer of submarines by the Soviet Union to Egypt.
Mr. Dulles said that apart from whether the sale of submarines to Egypt was a violation of a United Nations resolution calling for suspension of arms deliveries to the Near East, the development was part of studied Soviet efforts to maintain regional tension and danger by large arms shipments.
The Secretary made known that the United States does not yet consider that an imbalance exists that would make it necessary or appropriate for the United States to furnish balancing weapons to Israel.
