The United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration has only a vague policy on Israel. The U.S. Secretary of State has been telling his confidants that his major aim is an Arab-Israeli settlement. He hopes agreement on financing and building the Nile dam at Aswan will enable the U. S. and Britain to lead Egypt toward accommodation with Israel. Tripower discussions continue in Washington. Before taking military action against an aggressor, powers propose to enforce financial and economic penalties. Financial sanctions in fact would be ruinous for Israel.
