Egypt cannot unilaterally order the United Nations Emergency Force out of its territory in the Sinai Peninsula or the Gaza Strip when it wishes. Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent declared this week-end in the House of Commons.

The Canadian Government’s attitude is that Egypt’s consent to the stationing of UNEF troops has been obtained. If Egypt wishes to assert that UNEF’s job is done, he said, it should go to the United Nations and see if it can obtain UN agreement that such is the case.
