While the IWA voted two- to-one in favor of strike action in support of its wage de- mands, a number of opera- tions which voted a majority against strike action are now changing their position. “We didn’t want strike ac- tion,” a shop steward in one told the “but the posi- of these operations Pacific Tribune, tion of the operators and their attacks on our union, leave us no choice.” OPEN DAY and NIGHT Hastings Steam Baths Expert Masseurs in attend- ance TA. 0644, 766 E.

QUALITY SERVICE Continued THREAT some 2,500 Americans in the country. As a result, U.S. prestige has hit a new low and public opinion around the world, alarmed over the threat to peace, is hardening against it. Prime Minister Harold Mac- millan of Britain is throwing his government’s full support behind the Eisenhower re- gime’s action and is reported to be ready to send troops from British bases in Cyprus and Kenya into Jordan. But in the neutral countries and even among some U.S. allies, the U.S. - British moves are creating uneasiness and alarm. In the Arab countries the U.S. action is being con- demned for what it is—inter- vention in the affairs of coun- tries far removed from U.S. borders to maintain imperial- ist positions in face of a unit- ed Arab nationalst sentiment for independence. The Soviet Union, U.S. intervention as open aggression,” has de- manded the U.S. withdraw its forces immediately. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has warned that inter- vention in the affairs of Le- branding “an. act of banon or Iraq by outside powers “threatens the out- break of a general conflict.” The Egyptian press. des- cribes U.S. intervention in Le- banon as “the biggest blunder in history,” as well it may be —but a “blunder” fraught wih the gravest peril to world peace.
