THE release of Archbishop Makarios from exile in the Seychelles is a develop- ment which should, but not necessarily will, lend to an appropriate settlement

of

the Cyprus dispute. The Archbishop has gained his į freedom on the strength of a declaration which calls upon Eoka to cease its acts of hostility. Significantly,

however, reservationa are implied, and the statement

is to play in the en- deavoure to settle Cyprus problem remains to be seen. The Greek Cypriots undoubtedly will continue to regard him as their chlef spokesman; and the British government would be con- tent to recognise him such if he were to display any willingness to modify his attitude to the proposals for constitutional reform embodied in the Radcliffe report. Archbishop Makarios will shortly have the oppor tunity of expressing himself in this direction. The Radcliffe proposals are lust not necessarily the word to be aald by the Bri- tish

It would also icek some form of consultation on the use of funds set aside for the development of the Canal, if not an out- right joint seccant, and perhaps an increased percentage of tolls to be devoted to development.

Meanwhile. UN Assistant Ralph Bunch conferred earlier today with UN financial expert John J. McCloy.

However, US State Department experts were studying the proposals for operating the Canal with a marked lack of enthusiasm, according to informed sources in Washington.

British and French officials said that so far there had been no consultation on the subject between their embassies and the But British officials said there "certainly” State Department. would be working-level talks soon.

The State Department awaited a full report from Me Henry Cabot Lodge, the chief United States delegate to the United Nations, on his meeting today with Mr Hammarskjold. Officials hoped that Mr Hammarskjold, fresh from him Cairo talks with President Nasser, would be able to clear up a large number of questions posed by the Egyptian plan. Pending such clarification, officials declined to comment on the Egyptian proposals beyond saying that nobody feels like cheering."

US Owners

Warned

In the meantime the State Department advised US shipowners today not to use the Canal until its physical and legal hazards "have been fully eliminated."

Mr Lincoln White, State Department press officer, said they had "counselled prudence in the immediate use of the Canal.”

But he emphasised there was no prohibition on the use of the Canal.

Mr White said: "The Department advised that its information was that danger from hazard in the immediate approaches to the Canal, notably the Gulf of Suez, may not have been fully eliminated. "Also that discussions were still in progress between United Nations Secretary-General and the Government of Egypt with respect to future operation of the Canal."

In Jerusalem, the Israell Government decided to send a test ship through the Canal but this move will not be made beflore Britain and France try to settle their differences with Egypt over Conal tolls, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said tonight.
