PoWer-Drunk Nasser

resorted to an openly illegal act of seizure
in retaliation against Great Britain, and
indirectly the United States. for refusing
to loan him several billion dollars to build
a dam on the Nile River.
Nasser's action reminds us of the direct
illegal acts of the dictators of the nineteen
thirties. He is. in fact, nothing more than a
present-day dictator of Egypt, and he con-
stitutes a danger which would parallel the
danger created by Hitler and Mussolini ex-
cept for the fact that Nasser does not have
the population or the industialr power
backing him up.
For those who wanted British troops to
leave the Suez Canal zone, as an act of good
faith and to prove that the Western powers
were not mistreating the Egyptians the
recent seizure of the Suez Canal by the
Egyptian Covenant constitutes heavy
blow. 1t seems to prove the contention of
many Englshmen, that the Western pow
ers, and some of the so-called colonial pow
ers, cannot always yield their authority to
colonial peoples as soon as these peoples
demand it.

certainly can not win without the support

almost a third of the population who hap

DRES1DENT CANAL N A SER, of
Egypt. has replied to the withdrawal
of an aid offer by the United States and
Great Britain. For our refusal to extend
him very extraordinary economic favor,
NaSser has broken treaties and seized the
Suez Canal.
Nasser acted in behalf Of the Egyp-
tian Government, and the seizure was moth
ing but an outright act of theft on the part
Of the Egyptian Government. The Suez
Canal is a stock company and was owned
jointly by many stockholders, the British
Government owning something less than
half of the stock. The board of directors
has consistently been composed of more
Frenchmen than those of other nationali-
ties.
The legal agreements, signed recently
by both Graf Britain and Egypt after sew
eral years of negotiations, provides that
the Egyptian Government recognizes the
present status of the canal until it would
be transferred to the Egyptian Government
in 1868
Therefore, the President of Egypt has

traffic - II possible and II
you are caught in it, exercise
more than the usual amount of
caution.
1t is also interesting to note
that many people, some of whom
are good swimmers, drown un-
necessarily every summer. Com
menting on this aspect of vaca-
ton safety, a Maryland police Of
fetal recently revealed that boats
were involved in 81 of 106 drown
ings which occurred in Maryland
in 1855.
That is a surprising figure, and
it means that about one out of
every three drownings involves a
boat. If you go boating, or fish
ing, and cannot swim, there IS
absolutely no excuse for being
without a seat-type or a chest
type ife-preserver.
If this editorial induces one
1856 summer vacationer to take
along a life-preserver, and he
happens to need it, or induces one
driver to stay off the roads on
Sunday afternoon, or to drive
carefully and avoid an accident,
it will have served its purpose.

ficiary of these words of caution.

the shrinking of his picture a
