New York, May 12.
Mr John Foster Dulles said tonight that the nation's defence and foreign aid programmes were a failure and that continuing the present methods
of defence would drive the world bankrupt.
The former Republican State Department adviser said the only defence "at a bearable cost" would be the "organisation of a striking power to halt any aggressor where it hurts if he should commit himself to open armed aggression any- where."
Mr Dulles also charged the Administration with trying to frighten the Americans" with "what are re- -prosented-to-be-a-series—of crises"-and-he-called for "year in and year out” defence effort with a balanced budget and lower taxes.

Trieste Agreement Defended
Eden's Statement
London, May 12. The new administrative arrangements in the Anglo- American zona of Trieste were designed to give greater practical recognition to the predominantly Italian character of the zone (Zone "A"), Mr Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, de- clared in the House of Com- mons today.
After giving details of the agreement reached last week batween
United Britain, the States and Italy, Mr. Eden said. "I may say here, that even before the talks took pince, the Itallang were in fact already handling many administrative functions inside the Allied Military Government.7.
There was nothing in the new urrangements which would im- pair the ability or the intention of Britain and the United States to carry out their responsibili ties in the zone.
