Political Test in Egypt

4 King Farouk has accepted the anti-govern-
ment challenge of the Wafd Party in Egypt by
ordering the Parliament dissolved and calling
new elections for May lS.
p The action is an extreme alternative but
one virtually dictated by political circumstances.
1t is not surprising that the King, whose conduct
since the January riots has been on the side of
boldness and responsibility, has chosen this
course the success of which will depend in large
part upon the progress Of negotiations just
opened between Britain and Egypt on the twin
issues of British troops in the Suez area and the
political future of the Sudan.
The Wafd Party, overwhelmingly dominant
since the 1850 elections, is stalking its future
upon an unbridled nationalistic demand that
the British be driven out and that the Sudan be
Joined with Egypt. BY an exaggerated emphasis
on this program, it is at the same time attempt
ing to divert public attention from the allegations
of corruption which have been directed at it.
If the Wafd is to be defeated in May there
must be a settlement of Anglo-E Egyptian issues
on terms which can be presented to the Egyptian
people as being not destructive of their legitimate
national aspirations. Such terms, to be accepted,
must include some positive program for evacua-
ton of British troops and some plan by which
the Sudan is given the freedom, at least, to
choose it's future political relationship with
Egypt The foundation for mutually acceptable
compromise on these points already exists.
Britain'S Foreign Minister Eden and Ambassador
Stevenson have expressed their sympathy for
and understanding of Egypt's aspirations;
Egyptian Prime Minister TIilaly Pasha has ex-
pressed his desire for an amicable settlement.
Actually, the stakes are high FOR both coun-
tries and on the larger stage, for the Western
powers and the Middle East. For Egypt, further
rupture of Anglo Egyptian relations would return
the sWafd to power. probably in an even more
extreme anti-foreign temper. This danger
already is creating d flight of foreign capital
from Egypt and is threatening the future Of the
nations economy. It's repercussions would soon
spread to the rest Of the Middle East, If con-
firmed by Wafd victory. For Britain, q defeat
or breakdown in the negotiations would jeop-
ardize its prestige and political position In the
Middle East. For the West as whole, such q

North African Base Mess

Sufficient evidence has been developed to
justify the action taken by Secretary of the
Army Pace to clean up the American air-base
project in North Africa.
Pursuant to critical findings by the Senate
Preparedness Investigating Committee, the Sec
retary has relieved the ranking Army Engineers
on the North African project, has asked the
heads of the civilian contracting companies to
come here this week for consultation, has with
held partial payment to the contractors pending
further inquiry, and has ordered additional
exploratory studies. For the time being, at
least he has not suspended the program, on the
logical ground that such action would involve
additional delays and costs.
Construction of military installations has
seldom been an operation in which economy was
major consideration. This is particularly true
when such a project bears an emergency"
tag, as was thegcase in North Africa. Mr.. Pace
has now removed that label, however, as. a
means OF permitting application Of more or
derly and less costly work schedules. At the
same time it makes invalid any further excuses
by the contractors that they are being forced
into wasteful procedures by the urgency of time.
There are two disturbing aspects to the
disclosures made thus far. One is the economic,
involving charges of waste and downright graft.
The other is the engineering, involving charges
that specifications have been ignored, that even
the base sites may have been unwisely chosen
and that eventual performance qualities of the
fields would be short of requirements.
Final determination as to the justice of all
of these charges should wait, of course, until
those who have been in responsible positions on
the projec-including the Army Engineers
have an opportunity to tell their stories.
Originally, it was estimated that the five
bases would cost $500 million. Latest estimate
is Sass million, more than SO per cent increase.
Investigators for the Senate committee and for
the Army have each testified to padded payrolls,
wasted materials, general incompetence and even
wide-scale pilfering on the jobs. Under cost
plus fixed fee contract, the contractors incen-
tive for guarding against such abuses is
minimized and the responsibility for greater
governmental supervision correspondingly in
creased. Regardless of how important these
bases may be in our strategic concept today, a
project that is pushing half billion dollars in
cost is not one where legitimate economies and
protection against dishonesty can be ignored
Even more wasteful and reprehensible would
be disregard of sound engineering practices, for
the consequence of that folly would be to make
the bases relatively worthless in terms of either
dollars or military utilization.
