Abstract

Suez, Cyprus, Singapore. Diplomatic Cost of Bases
Ball, W. Macmahon | August 11, 1956 issue

United States' bases have lately been the targets of political discontent from Iceland to Okinawa. The U.S. air base in Iceland is a key point in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization defense system; a launching place for medium bombers and an outer link in the radar network encircling North America. Yet this did not prevent the Icelanders, when they went to the polls in June, from returning a coalition government pledged to work for the removal of the American base. One big reason why Great Britain's problems are worse than the United States is that in Cyprus, Aden and Singapore, Great Britain is resolved to retain not only her bases, but ultimate political control.
