The President expressed his
appreciation for the attendance,
at considerable inconvenience,
of the Members of Congress

in view Of the London con-

Egyptian and Arab peoples in a
recorded broadcast that he hao
rejected a 81 billion offer from
the World Bank to rebuild the
canal. In Washington a high
official of the bank said, I'VE
have never offered him any such
loan and there has been no dis
Icussion of the Suez Canal"
British and French news
papers generally took a dim view
Iof Col. NaSser's proposed As
nation conference on the Suez
although some said the Egyptian
answer seemed comparatively
mild.
Communist papers in London,
Paris and Yugoslayia backed the
Nasser plan. Indonesian Foreign
Minister Russian Abdulgani said
in Jakarta that Indonesia would
consider international control OF
the canal contrary to Egyptian
sovereignty.
Supported by India
In New Delhi, an Indian For
.eign Ministry official asked, rs
not the general tone of Presi-
dent NaSser's statement COM
mendable?"
v. K Krishna Menon, Prime
Minister Nehru's top adviser on
foreign policy, conferred with
Egyptian leaders in Cairo, then
flew to the London conference.
The Times of London, which
frequently reflects the British
governments viewpoint. said ed
itorially: To accept NasSer's
proposals would mean an indef-
mite delay and the Summoning
of a conference so unwieldy as
to make attainment of agree
ment difficult if not impossible
;. Settlement of the Suez Canal
issue is now in any case too ur-
gent to wait upon the summon
ing Of a conference of this kind. -

other high administration Of
IficialS met for 80 minutes with
% congressional leaders in the
Cabinet room of the White
House in an extraordinary noon
time session yesterday.
The Is Republicans and nine
Democrats from Capitol Hill
were informed that the United

solution" at the London confer

also prepared for the worst.
No Decisions Made
Today the State Department

OF Egypt, without any conSl1lta-
ton with Egypt, the country
whom the matter concerns" the
government statement said.
1.-THE government of the United
Kingdom has limited the partici-
patton of the conference to "a
states only. Notwithstanding the
fact that the number of states
which used the canal T.. amounts
to no less than As states. :.
Competence Challenged
I'm view of all this. the Egyp-
tan government cannot consider
the proposed conference as an
international conference compe-
tent to make decisions.
Furthermore, the proposed
conference has no right whatso-
ever to discuss any matter fall
ing within the jurisdiction of
Egypt or in relation to its SOW
ereignty over any part of its
territory.
1.-THE invitation to it cannot
therefore be accepted by Egypt"
With the statement. Col. Mas
ser left the door open for a pos
sible compromise. He said his
proposed conference would be
for the purpose of reviewing
the Constantinople convention
and considering the conclusion
of an agreement between all
these governments reaffirming
and guaranteeing the freedom of
navigation on the Suez Canal.
That agreement would be
registered with the secretariat of
the United Nations and published
by it.
The door would be left open
for the adherence of other gov
ernmentS to that agreement
whenever required"
Viewed With Suspicion
ANY attempt to establish rela-
tionship between the Suez Canal
Co. and the freedom of naviga-
ton in the canal can only be
viewed with suspicion. the state
ment said. THE Suez Canal Co.
had never been responsible at
ANY time for the freedom of
navigation in the canal.
1T is the 1888 convention
which governs the freedom of
navigation in the Suez Canal,
and it is the Egyptian govern
ment which superviseS this free
dom in its capacity as the
country in whose territory the
canal lies and of whose territory
1T constitutes an integral part.
1T is a well-known fact that
Egypt has never violated any of
its international obligations.
1T is wholly inconceivable
that a company. whatever it
may be, can be considered re-
sponsible for the freedom of nav
igation in the Suez Canal and
its security"
Guarantee of Navigation

cess of their allotments have until

ance with their 1856 acreage al

any farm on which the acreage
allotment Is exceeded will be in

acreage of more than Is acres or
