The two labor leaders, Sander

hunger and winter cold appeared
to have broken the strike.
Satellite Appears Lost
A Hungarian army lieutenant

troops and police.
Along with the back to- work
movement. reports Of widespread
guerrilla activities in the Hun

scale assertions by Russian
troops generally were discounted

Protest Against
Egypt Pressed

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Dec
II (R.-B Britain and France
pressed complaints in the United
Nations today that Egypt is mis-
treating their citizens with ar
rests, deportation and seizure Of
property.
The two partners in the Oc-
tober-N November invasion of the
Suez Canal called a private meet
ing of is nom Communist Euro
pean U. N. delegations to explain
their case against Egypt-appar-
emily in anticipation Of bringing
it before the General Assembly
A French spokesman said this
afternoons assembly session
very likely" would be devoted
to the charges against Egypt.
CircuIates Resolution
France has circulated a resolu-
ton asking Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold to send OBJ
servers or take other measures
to induce Egypt to stop mistreat-
ing British and French nationals.
Israel has also complained of
Egypt's treatment of Jews since
the Israelis invaded the Sinai
peninsula October 20.
Egyptian Foreign Minister
Mahmoud Fawzi denied his
country had mistreated any
foreigners. He called the British
and French allegations a "propa-
Iganda campaign based on I'M
founded reports"
OF reports that some Jews and
holders of British and French
passports had been arrested in
Egypt, Mr.. Fawzi said: 1--WE did
take some security measures"
Opposing views Of Egypt on
one hand and Britain and
France on the other brought new
complications to the U. Ms lob
of clearing the shipwreck-
Iclogged canal. the main artery
for transportation of Middle
East oil to Europe.
Objects to Crews
Mr.. Fawzi said in a statement
that Egypt would agree to the
use Of British salvage equip
ment to reopen the waterway
but that the British and French
crews could not remain in
Egypt lin view of their own
safety" since many persons
were killed in the recent ag-
erosion against Egypt"
British and French spokes-
men reiterated that they would
be willing to loan their equip
ment to tackle the job only If
the crews remain.
The British and French have
cleared a channel through the
northern quarter Of the canal
zone that their troops occupied.
The U. N. agreed to help Egypt
complete the clearing work. 1t

Controlling all propaganda
outlets, Col. Nasser's government
is keeping the effects Of the
recent invasion on the economy
well hidden from the Egyptian
people. The regime also has
been able to convince most OF
the Egyptian people that they

On the surface in Cairo, moth
ing seems wrong. There are nc
shortages. Domestic trade seems
to be flourishing. But factories
are running out Of stocks and
wholesalers out of supplies. As
the situation progresses, the
Egyptian consumers standard
will go down because of lowered
purchasing power.
Barring a miracle, in a few
months the real jolt will be felt
through the whole economy
There is a good chance that this
peril will force Col. Nasser into
desperate measures tying him
even closer to the Soviet bloc
Egypt is an underdeveloped
one-crop country. Cotton has
brought Egypt as much as IS
per cent of the foreign exchange
which she must have to buy
abroad. Her economy depends on
foreign trade, but her funds in
Britain are blocked and most OF
her funds in the United States
also have been blocked.
The shock of recent events has
been eased by the fact that
stocks on hand will not be de-
pleted for a few months. The
government also has been spend
ing in an attempt to inject fresh
purchasing power into the econ
omy. But there are grave prob
lens ahead.

She already has gone danger
ously far along the road. Her
Arab sister. Syria, is just begin
ming to look down the same
road, but the pattern there is
still in its early stages.
This correspondent has just
returned from a swing through
the Middle East. There he found
much clear evidence that Arab
leaders are becoming frightened
at Egypt's danger.
Prisoner of Own Policy
Egypt's current policies, hard
ened by the British French
Israeli attack. seem to have
closed off for the time being any
readily accessible avenues OF
rescue from the West. For the
moment. only President Nasser
has the power to change the di-
rection of Egypt's course, and
he himself in sense is a pris-
oner of his own policy.
1t is still not too late for Col.
Nasser to seek a way out of his
trap. He still has a choice be-
fore him. He still can attempt
to return to the original aims of
the Egyptian revolution, turning
the attention of the nation in
ward to its monumental prob
lens. He can try, possibly with
American help. to build Egypt
patiently into a position of in
ternal strength that would make
resistance to Soviet pressures
possible. Or he can continue on
the other road.
The Russians are patiently
fashioning a chain with eco
nomic links. Egypt's trade with
the East is carried on through
a series Of two-way agreements
which amount, in the long run, to
barter. These bi-lateral deals
are form of political trade used
by the Russians in attempts to
drive the West out of certain
markets. The pressure on Egypt
Is becoming enormous now.
Caught in Economic Net
The Communist bloc has be-
come almost the only supplier
for Egypt and at the same time
an intermediary for the Western
goods Egypt needs. The Rus
slams seem to expect that Egypt
eventually will be forced to gear
her economy to the East bloc.
Then the strong political in
filtration will begin.
Egypt now has credit balances
with all the Communist coun-
tries and debts with the West
ern nations. Since what indus
try she has is geared to the
West, she faces enormous prob
lens. She cannot buy from the
East what she needs. And with
the bulk of her exports going to
the Communist countries, she is
