The announcement was made by Premier N. S. Khrushchev at a Kremlin reception in honor of Marshal Hakim Amer, vice-president of the United Arab Republic. The reception followed talks between the two statesmen. The Soviet. Union is to pro- vide all the’ necessary engi- neers, equipment, machinery and technicians to ensure con- struction of the first part of the dam in the quickest pos- sible time. Full details are to be nego- ‘tiated later between Soviet and UAR experts after a com- plete survey of the site. Egypt has made repeated at- tempts in the past to obtain loans from the U.S. and Britain to help in construction of this major engineering .project but has been unable to obtain any satisfactory agreement. : In his speech announcing the agreement, Krushchev said that the Soviet Union had al- ways taken the view that friendly relations must be de- veloped with all the countries of the Middle East. “Now,” he said, “there ex- ists a strong united Arab state which has established mutually friendly -relations with the Soviet Union. That is why the Soviet Union has agreed to give help to the United Arab Republic for construction of ~ ‘SSR offers merchant ships has been lost to Scandinavian yards.” The Times quoted ship op- erators, who have had an op- portunity to study Soviet de- signs, as saying that a 16,000- cargo ship “pyossed some interesting features.” “Not the least of these was the vessel’s size and speed, which placed it in a class with modern vessels being built in Western yards,” the Times re- ported. The steam turbine vessel, 558 feet long, with a beam of 71 feet 6 inches, has a service speed of 18*knots. Hull strength is greater than on standard Western vessels, pre- sumably because of ice con- ditions in Soviet ports. new industries and for _ irri- gation of the desert lands. “That is why the Soviet Union has undertaken to give help for construction of the first part of the Aswan dam. This will help to reinforce the UAR help to develop its economy and ensure its na- tional independence.” Egypt's future depends upon harnessing Nile Construction of the High Aswan Dam to harness the waters of the upper Nile is a matter of life and death for the future livelihood and inde- pendence of Egypt’s people. For fertile fields which will bring food and clothing to the hungry millions of the Middle East will replace endless miles of arid sands, electric power will replace ‘the labor of the camel and the ox, and the possibility will arise of exploit- ing the country’g abundant supplies of iron ore. The dam will provide pure water to areas where there are now only insanitary vil- lages — a tremendous step to- ward overcoming Egypt’s en- demic diseases. That is what the people of the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria), and the whole Middle East, will see behind the Soviet loan. That is why they felt bitter when Britain and the U.S. withdrew, in 1956, the loan offer made in 1955. The British-U.S. offer was made through the World Bank and was tied about with strings that President Nasser con- sidered. would place the econ- omy of Egypt under U.S. con- trol. When Nasser rejected the conditions as insulting to Egypt’s sovereignty, not only were the loan negotiations suspended, but $75 million of Anglo-U.S. credits were can- celled. It was this attempt to use Egypt’s desperate need in order to impose political demands that finally determined Nasser to nationalize the-Suez canal, which in turn led to the ag- gression by Britain, France -and Israel. “ange’s olicy has brought USSR grants Egypt Socialists win place on ballot NEW YORK—The New York United Independent - Socialist Campaign Committee claimed “a political miracle” last week after winning a court fight to get its five-candidate ticket on the November ballot. New York Supreme Court Justice Kenneth S. McAffer threw ‘out the effort of Secre- tary of State Carmine De- Sapio to keep the ticket off the ballot by challenging a small number cf the 26,481 signatures obtained to qualify the Independent - Socialist Party slate. Meanwhile, Benjamin Davis, Communist leader, was. still waging a court battle in a similar effort to qualify as a eandidate for the state senate from the Harlem district of Manhattan. The Independent - Socialist Campaign Committee, which is running a slate headed by Corliss Lamont for senator and John T. McManus for gov- ernor, declared, ‘‘To produce the evidence necessary to re- fute the 192 pages of challenges was truly a political miracle, particularly since the entire machinery of the Democratic Party was mobilized against 1b oa Bolivia thwarts Falangist coup LA PAZ—The left-of-centre Bolivian government last week defeated an attempted coup by the Falange and other extreme Right-wing opposition groups. The Falangists staged a simi- lar unsuccessful coup last May. . The government, headed by Siles Zuazo, and led by the National Revolutionary Move- ment came to power in ©1952 after heavy fighting. Recently the Bolivian. par- liament decided to establish diplomatic. relations with the Soviet Union. The country, which is rich in minerals but, except for the tin industry, largely undevel- oped, has a -population of nearly four million, two-thirds of whom are Indian. The Fal- fascist support comes from the whites. One of the government’s aims is the im- provement of the status of the Indians, who have been virtu- ally slaves.
