He urged the Western Powers to keep in mind the desirability of a general peace between Israel and the Arab states. “If there should come out of this a situation in which the military strength of Egypt is increased to a great extent, which would imperil the security of Israel as a state and therefore imperil the peace of the Middle East, it would be very unfortunate.” Mr. Morrison declared.
