as more modern equipment
comes in from the Soviet bloc
and perhaps some cotton; and
King Saud will contribute what
ever cash is turned over to young
King Hussein Of Jordan.
But even on this basis, officials
here are frankly skeptical that
the Arab trio can produce over
the long term as they have
promised.
American officials are looking
forward to King Saud's arrival
here a week from today. They
expect to get a first-hand report
of the thinking behind the Arab
declaration in Cairo last week.
The prospect that the United
States may wind up indirectly
financing the Jordan subsidy is
not entirely dismissed. King
Saud is presently in financial
difficulties caused by the Suez
blockade.
His oil royalties have already
fallen on 80 per cent. IN three
months he has lost $24 million
One high official of this Gov
eminent speaks of a $25 million
grant for King Saud to tide him
over until early March, when
the canal is expected to be back
in operation and Saudi Arabia s
oil royalties get back to normal.
Not Policy Yet
Nothing about this thought is
Government policy-yet. But
this effect could be attained
during King Saud's conversations
with President Eisenhower.
The strategic American air
base at Dhahran. Saudi Arabia,
is being maintained presently
on a day-to-day basis. King
Saud has put of renewing the

United States lease until the
|Suez Juror dies down.
Twenty-Five million dollars in
budgetary support for Saudi
Arabia could soften UP King
Saud's attitude toward the
base.
1t is this kind Of bargaining
that the President would like to
do with the 5000 million con-
|tingency fund he has asked Con-
|gress to set aside for him out of
this fiscal years $3.50 million
appropriation.
At the rate Congress is NOV
ing. however. Mr.. Eisenhower
may not get his 5000 million
flexible fund by the time he and
King Saud get down to the hard
bargaining stage.
Perhaps this explains the
Kings plans to tour the rest of
the United States from February
|3 until about February 10, and
then to stop of for two or three
days rest at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va.
The King is now expected to
leave the United States about
February IA.
BY that time the House prob
ably will have acted on the
Eisenhower-Dulles resolution. If
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson's forecast is accurate
floor debate in the upper house
may be far enough along by
then to indicate prospects for
final congressional approval.
While thoughts of what
amounted to an indirect Ameri-
can subsidy for Jordan through
Saudi Arabia were circulating
here, there were also rumors that
the Soviet Union might be
tempted to help Egypt and Syria
pay their share of the Jordan
subsidy.
Officials here tended to dis
count the report, however, be-
cause it is not the Moscow habit
to give money away. 1t was

nations replacing Britain In
Jordan. Then nothing came Of
1t.
Now that a pledge to assume
the subsidy for 10 years has
been signed Egypt, Syria and
Saudi Arabia may make a show
of meeting the first payment
But few officials familiar with
the Middle East believe any OF
the countries will want to as
sumo such a drain on their econ
omies for a long period of time,
Saudi Arabia's share, some
thing more than $14 million
amounts to nearly 5 per cent Of
King Saud's annual budget, a
whopping amount to commit
over a 10-year period. But King
Saud. who normally receives just
under $500 million in oil royal
ties from the Arabian American
Oil Co., is rated the most prob
able to carry through.
Egypt has a budget of roughly
$700 million a year. Its $14
million share amounts to only
. per cent of the governments
annual expenditures, but Presi-
dent Canal Abdel Nasser's gov
eminent already is hard pressed,
His Soviet arms purchases and
dreams of building a high Aswan
Dam already have heavy claim

Syria's yearly budget Of SIC
million is rated least likely of all
to stand what would amount to
a 8 per cent foreign-aid pro-
gram over a l0-year period. The

dan about 81 million annually

QUEEN ELIZABETH VISITS

EX-KING FAROUK of Egypt, at the time of his
abdication is said to have remarked that the only royal
ty the world would know after a while would be five
queens, the queen of hearts, the queen of spades, the
queen of diamonds, the queen Of clubs, and the Queen
of England. Whether that observation bore wisdom or
not is left to be seen, but one thing is sure, and that
is that Queen Elizabeth II of England captivates hearts
wherever she goes.
T A RATHER sparkling visit to Canada,
where she presided over the opening Of Parliament,
Queen Elizabeth with Prince Philip, swept into Wash

by storm. Washington has been in a crazy state of social
frenzy ever since invitations were sent out for some Of
the functions the Queen will attend.
CURING THE SIX days Elizabeth will visit in
Washington she will attend over one hundred functions
of all kinds, including a football game at the University

BUT THESE VISITS have another side. At a time
when the world is lined up into two sharply divided
camps it is good that the members of the free world
cement their relations, and who could better do this
between the two great English-speaking peoples than
the Queen herself. Her charm and wit are captivating
and warm, and she knows how to mix well. During an
inspection of veterans in Canada she would stop fre-
cuently to speak to a soldier in line.
WHILE IT IS true that royalty has declined, and
that constitutional government has replaced them
among free peoples. or dictators in totalitarian coun-
tries, nevertheless many hope that there will always be
a spot for a. queen such as Elizabeth, in whom is cen

The formal transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States took place m Sitka on October IS, 1867, in the trading post founded in 1799 by Alexander Bananof, sent to Alaska by the Czar to conquer the Pacific outpost.
 The final ceremony of transfer was marred by an odd incident reported officially to President Andrew Johnson. It occurred at the posts 90-foot flagpole while troops from the two nations stood by and guns boomed in salute.
 The Russian flag became en- tangled in it's ropes and a Russian soldier was raised in bosun's chair to free it. The soldier didn't hear his commanders shout to ''brimg it down" and he dropped it. The flag was impaled on the bayonets of the Russian soldiers as it fell
