The Open Question

From time to time, conservatives disagree among themselves on matters of substantial importance—usually matters of strategy, or interpretation, or method. With this issue we inaugurate a department that we will publish irregularly, called “The Open Question.” It will, from time to time, introduce the dissents of relevant members of the conservative community. Today we turn over the column to Miss Freda Utley, who, as the reader will see, passionately disagrees with the handling of the Mideast crisis by national review. Miss Utley:

Returning home at the end of December after a seven months study tour of the Far East, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, I was dismayed to find that national review had not supported Eisenhower’s wise and politically courageous stand on Suez, which has so greatly enhanced Ameri-can prestige, influence and power almost everywhere in the world.
