100,0008Emena and thirty years In Its
building. The Assouan dam was con-
structed by alb out 1900 men in four
years. The pyramid was made by
forced labor. and it impoverished the
people. The dam cost altogether about
$4,000, 0o0,Sand the men who worked
upon it were better paid than any
Others who have ever lnbored in the
valley or the Nile.
S$T Moreover. 1.-THE dam has mad Egypt
