occupation by foreign troops,

Foreign Investors Welcome
Private investment would seem
to be the most logical conclu-
sion. The government is taking
steps to make The Sudan more
attractive to foreign investors.
The building of a stable politi-
Ical situation. Of course. is the
first step in this direction.
The Nile waters problem is
something that must be solved
|if The Sudan is to develop. The
republic simply must have a
larger share for irrigation pur-
poses. Ties in Egypt are too
strong to allow consideration of
unilateral abrogation Of the 1929
Nile Waters Agreement. Look for
The Sudan to bring this problem
to the attention Of the United
Nations sometime this year, how
ever. If Egypt refuses to discuss
the problem.
When she gets more water.
The Sudan will be able to fur
ther diversity her cash crop. Un-
It'll then, she'll sink or swim with
cotton. It's all she's got.
The currency problem should
be settled within six months. At
the moment, both Egyptian and
British currency is legal tender
in The Sudan. The previous
government had bank notes
printed. The present govern
ment destroyed the issue because
the notes carried the signature
lof the opposition leader. Pretty?
Sure, but this is a hot political
time and no holds are barred.
Technicians Needed
Education is perhaps the most
crying long-term need Of this
new country. There are 80 law
yers in The Sudan and about
$50 doctors. The republic is
is short of every kind of tech
nician. And The Sudan is de-
Itermined to have Sudanese do
the job.
In the future years, The Su-
dan will spend an increasingly
large sum on educational facili-
ties. More will be needed If she
lis to build the strong middle
class which is the essence Of q
modern democracy.
This much is certain: The
Sudan has successfully stood up
to every problem which faced her
in her first year Of independence.
Her future path may be rug
lged. But it's her own show c.nd
that's the way she wants it.

Attempt to Spend
Christmas on Peak
Ends With 3 Dead

FORT WILLIAM, Scotland,
Dec. 27 R.-An attempt by five
young mountain climbers to
spend Christmas on the British
Isles highest peak ended last
might with three dead, another
presumed dead and the fifth in a
hospital.
Rescue parties who had been
struggling up the snow-covered
slopes Of 4.406-foot Mount Ben
Nevis since yesterday found three
of the bodies today. They also
spotted the form of a fourth
climber, believed dead near the
foot of a cliff.
The venture began Monday.
At yesterday, Thomas Car
roll, 81, staggered into Fort Will
liam and reported his companions

Arab nationalism. "The prob
lem for The Sudan, as we'll as
for the remainder Of Islam" !"
explains Mohammed Tewfik, the
Sudanese commissioner Of labor,
'.is to take from the West the
thought and technology which
it can weave into the fabric of
its own culture while retaining
its own valid Islamic oriental
tion." The trend is in this
direction.
The economic problem hinges
equally upon available foreign
capitalization and upon political
questions.
The Sudanese annual budget
averages about $50 million:
About the same amount as Brit
tain spends on garbage disposal.
(The Sndan. however, has run
on a balanced budget every year
since 1914.)
Obviously the republic has no
money for industrialization. The
United Kingdom. the most OBJ
vious source, devotes most of
her funds to Commonwealth de-
velopment. The alternatives
are Russia and the United
States.
The Sudanese as a whole labor
under no misapprehensions as
to the Russians purposes. On
the other hand the man in the
street seems to feel that aid
from America inevitably will be
followed by United States bases.

can do about a person who is on
the road toward becoming an
alcoholic.
My friend Marie and I are
very much worried about a third
friend, Helen, who drinks far
too much. We are all girls in our
early 20's and go out together a
lot. We like Helen very much.
She is a swell person and very
lively and charming. but every
time We go out on dates together.
she drinks so much the boys are
really shocked. She is able to-
hold her liquor pretty well, but
I've noticed she drinks more and
more all the time.
Marie and I have spoken toI
her about it. but she just laughs
at us and says we've been read

alcoholism. Her drinking en-
barrasses me very much and Il

preston about all of us. think
we ought to tell Helen's parents
about it, but Maries disagrees.
Marie d. think it is childish
and silly to go squealing to-
Helen'S parents. She is an adult
and has a right to do what she
wants-even If it's wrong. In
any case, it's not our place to
tip of her parents.
There is another problem as
well. Helen does not get along
well with her parents. She says
they have always been very
strict and harsh with her and
she feels very antagonistic to-
ward them. I'm afraid if we
tell her parents it will trigger a
big blowup and Helen will leave
home and will be worse of than
ever-and we'll be responsible.
I'm also embarrassed by
Helen's drinking, but l feel that
since We can't do anything about
it, we should just keep quiet. AS

Constipation Can Be Overstressed
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: We read
your column daily in The WASH

looking for a discussion Of con-
stipation and poor elimination.
So far none. viii you write some
thing about it?
I've found that many people
suffer from it and there seems
to be no relief or cure. Surely.
Doctor Steincrohn. there must

After all. We can't be considered

The Councils View
This Is ticklish question. In
another case, alerting the par
ents to what is going on might
be helpful. If Helen really is SO
antagonistic toward her parents,
however, the blowup Marie fore
sees is a strong possibility.
But Marie carries the hands,
off policy a little too far. In spite
of the fact that she and Esther
are not responsible for Helen's
behavior and should not be con-
sidered Sc, people will tend to
associate them with her. This is
inevitable and it is the reason
both girls are embarrassed.
For their own sakes and for
Helen's, these girls should put
their attitudes down on the line
They should tell Helen they find
her behavior embarrassing, and
let her know they do not want
to include her in their activities
III she keeps it up. This may help
to bring Helen up short. She
may change. but if she does not
the girls would do better without
her company. 1t may seem mean
but 1t is the best way. If Helen
is becoming an alcoholic, she
needs more expert help than hei
friends can give her.
