Airlift Postponed as Britain Plans Suez Moves
Britain postponed the start of a major airlift to the Mediterranean and reportedly began pulling units from Germany to address the Suez crisis. Prime Minister Eden urged peaceful negotiation but warned Britain will use force if necessary, citing the nationalization of the Suez Canal Co. by Egypt. The War Office said the airlift delay lasts at least 24 hours as a large air sea armada forms along Britain's south coast. Egypt said Nasser would not revoke canal nationalization and accused colonial powers of imperialist aggression. Talks on international control of the Suez were set to begin in London with several nations awaiting responses.
