LAND REFORMS IN EGYPT

II ia vitality important to both the United States and
Great Britain that economic stability and law and order
are achieved in Egypt The route between East and
West the Suez Canal cuts through Egypt, making par
ticularly important from military standpoint.
month or two ago, Gen. Mohammed Naguib forced
Eeypts King Farouk to abdicate. Naguibs main idea
seems to be to clean up political corruption which he
bames for the armys in the with Israel in
1948.
Now the General is making bid for popular. sup
port in the form of land reforms Land holdings are to be
limited to 200 of farm land and surplus acreage is
to be distributed among peasants owning less than two
acres as means of raising the standard of living of the
people
If the lard reform program is carried out it will
mean turning over 1000 square miles of farm land to the
poorest PEASANTS The government would pay copensa-
ton to the appropriated holders and the peasants who
received land would eventually repay the government
The Egyptian government has been controlled by the
bio landowners for years. and nothing much has been
done about agricultural poverty. About $4,000 families
own more than 200 land apiece in the Nile Val
ley while 100000 families less than acre of
land apiece
The proposed land reforms have caused optimism
among observers that Gen. Nagub may be able to achieve
stability in Egypt
