And so far as the Conservatives concernod. (or the country for that matter) the only man fully qualified for the job is Mr Anthony Eden. This is all the more so because, apart from his exceptional talents and wide experience, Mr Eden ia the natural successor to Sir Winston as leader of the Conservative Party.

US Will Buy

Goods For Korean Rehabilitation
Washington, Sept. 3.
The Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, at his Press conference today made it clear that the United States intended to buy Japanese goods for Korean rehabilitation whether the South Korean Government of Syngman Rhee liked it or not.
Mr Dulles had been naked to comment on an assertion here yesterday by the South Korean Foreign Minister, Yung Tae-pyung, that his Government should be allowed to veto the expenditure of United States funds in Japan for Korean aid,

Italy Shocked By Dulles' Trieste Statement
Rome, Sept. 3.
Italian political circles received with shocked surprise the statement made by the US Secretary of State, Mr Foster Dulles, that the Western de- claration of 1948 favouring the handing over of the free territory of Trieste, to Italy should not necessarily be regarded as being like "the laws of the Medes and Persians" that stand forever.
It was pointed out that for the last five years the tripartite declaration has formed the main bargaining point in Italy's Trieste policy.
