The first place, Mr. Lesueur, it can get them around the table. It can get the representatives of Israel and of Egypt, we have the representative of Lebanon as a member of the council, and we can sit around the table and talk, and sometimes talk does lead to peace. Then I think that we can thereby, if we're patient, we can reduce tension. A great deal depends, in my judgment, on the attitude of Russia. She vetoed the resolution which the western powers proposed, the three powers proposed, in respect to the Jordan waters. And that to me was a most unfortunate end of pressing business, because it was the first time she had exercised the veto in a matter where she was not directly concerned. But I profoundly hope that over this Suez matter she won't exercise the veto. And I've got some hopes that if we're patient we'll get somewhere in the Council.
