DAVID LAWRENCE

The United States has an
opportunity to help the peo-
pie Of Cuba, who have Just
suffered devastation Of their
farm lands by a hurricane.
To grant aid at this time
would make an indelible i'm
preston on the people Of
Cuba, for they have been re-
peatedly told by Castro that
this country is hostile to
them. The mere fact that the
United States Government is
ready to put aside its formal
tiles in dealing with a coun-
try whose government isn't
recognized automatically
would create inside Cuba a
feeling that the Cuban ma
ton has not been abandoned
by the people Of this country.
It would be a reminder of the
friendly spirit exhibited IS
years ago when the United
States sent its arr d forces
to help emancipate the Is
land from Spanish oppres-
sors.
Senator George A. Smath-
ers, Democrat Of Florida
State which Is caring for
many Cuban exile@is a
staunch antagonist of Castro
and his government, but new
ertheless says in q statement
that he favors aid to Cuba
through the American Red
Cross. He declares that, If
permission were granted by
the State Department here,
the United States need not
deal with Castro or his gov
eminent. He adds:
81 believe that such an act
of friendship would Demon
strate to the Cubans that we
bear no Ill will toward them
as people even though we re-
main steadfastly opposed to
their form Of government"
Because the United States
is close by, it can furnish aid
promptly. If some such move
isn't made, the Russians
might well take advantage Of
the situation and come to the

end Joined in a blockade Of
Venezuela. bombarded a port
and forced Castro into arbi-
trahon which he had cavah-
erly spurned.
The Monroe Doctrine, Of
course, was involved and it
bent and almost broke under
the strain Of the ROOSEVELT
an interpretations.
Until Teddy gave his later
account Of how he bearded
the Kaiser, it had seem d
that he was really doing no
thing while the German and
British warships converged
on Venezuela.
But as Teddy told it when
he thought about 1t later, he
acted in the context Of an
ultimatum to Germany with
whom we were already, IA
years before World War I, at
serious odds. The Kaiser was
suspected Of designs on the
Virgin Islands. then owned
by mark, and to have
other imperialistic ambitions.
The retreat Of the Kaiser's
ships from the Caribbean in
favor Of settlement by arbi-
tration is not to be compared
in magnitude, of course, with
the withdrawal from Cuba of
Soviet nuclear missiles.
Nor was the Castro of the
turn Of the century to be
m e asured in terms Of the
Castro a half century later,
who seeks to extend the Com
munist revolution throughout
the Americas.
Yet there could be a cur
rent Of history running; it
never repeats itself exactly. A
good look at Admiral Dewey
helped Germany, and Brit
an. decide to get out of the
Caribbean. A good look at

Burglary Alarm
Foils Attempt,
Costs Burglars

A burglary alarm system to-
day was credited with prevent
ing a burglary at Ross Jewelry
in BeI-Aire Shopping Center
Tuesday night and with costing
the burglars their tools.
Chief Criminal Deputy M. ID.
johnson said the alarm, an out
side bell, was set off when bur-
glars beat their way through the
back door.
They fled, leaving a pry bar,
hammer and several other tools
behind.

Eqypt Exerts Influence
On Entire Arab World


the United Nations it is called
"The United Arab Republic. "
But the travel posters still call
1t Egypt for an obvious reason.
Few other names so readily ex-
cit visions of ancient times, the
smell and taste Of a country
that rose in monumental splen-
dor thousands Of years before
the epoch of ancient Greece.
When you read about the
U.A.R. in newspapers today it
is usually a story about Presi-
dent Canal Abdel Nasser, the
ASwan High Dam or the Ger
man scientists who are help
ing to build rockets beside the
Nile. But there are two person
alities to this country. There is
the United Arab r e u b Ii c,
which is undergoing radical so
cial, 3 economic and political
change. And there is Egypt,
which is changeless.
The country's geography is
simple. Except for the fringe
Of Mediterranean coastline in
the north, Egypt is an arid des-
ert that would be as barren and
desolate as the Sahara except
for one thing: The Nile River.
From the southern border fac
ing Sudan and extending 800
miles north to the sea the an
cient river feeds an oasis of
fertile land. HerodotuS 5000
years ago called Egypt "the
gift of the Nile" It is here
that the waters Of the White
and Blue Nile spill the rich
mud from Uganda and Ethio-
| pia thousands of miles to the
south.
The river enters Egypt as a
ribbon Of water Slicing between
barren rocks and sand. North
of Cairo it fans out like the
veins of a leaf to form the Nile
Delta. To the east Of the river
toward Egypt's long Red Sea
coast desert mountains rise
above 1000 feet. To the west
are the lower Libyan Mountains
and the forbidding Western
Desert.
Egypt covers 5000 square
miles, an area equal to Texas
and New Mexico. Yet only
about 5 per cent Of this area,
a green belt following the
course of the Nile, can support
the country's rs million people.
Life along the Nile goes back
to the early Stone Age. 1t was
along the Nile that man prob
ably first began farming. Egyp-
tan history itself dates back to
5000 BIC. and King Menes. The
ruins of his capital, Memphis,
are Is miles from the modern
capital Of Cairo.
The virtually rainless Egyp-
tian climate has helped to pre-
serve the. incredible record of
Egyptian history. No wonder ii
has taken a special science,
Egyptology, to sort out the sue
cession of Pharaoes and dynas-
ties, the Persian conquest (525-
332 B.C.) and the effects of
Alexander the Greats arrival
in 1872 BIC. Alexander was only
"a years old and stayed only
six months but he founded a
city that was to become one of
the capitals of the world. And
he set the pace for Egypt's
foreign domination for the next
1000 years. The Greek ptole-
maic kings, starting with Alex
ander's general, had lasted 300
years when Cleopatra, the eld-
er sister Of Ptolemy XIV,
worked her wiles on Julius
Caesar and on Anthony.
Roman and Byzantine domi-
nation followed. The Christian
byzantines were still running
the country when the Prophet
Mohammed was born in Mecca
The chronicle., 1963-11-07

in $40 AID. and by $40 Arab
invaders had brought Egypt
into the growing world OF Is
lam.
Under the Omayads from Da-
mascus Egypt first became an
Arabic speaking country. The
The Omayads gave way to the
Abbasids fro Baghdad, then
the Fatimites from Northwest
Africa, and then the Kurdish
conqueror Saladin, whose
famed citadel on the Mokattam
Hills overlooking Cairo stands
today as one of the city's chief
landmarks. The Mamelukes
originally Turkish and Circas-
sian slaves Of the Ayyubite sui
tan, took over for 267 years
until the Turkish conquest ear
ly in the 18th century.
Egypt remained under Turk
ish domination for 280 years
until the arrival of Napoleon
in 1898. Napoleon lost to the
British but Egypt came under
the rule Of an Albanian dynasty
that began in 1905 with Moham-
med Ali, called the founder of
modern Egypt, and ended in
1852 with the overthrow OF
King Farouk.
Since 1852 it has become the
focal point of Arab nationaIism.
Naturalization Of the Anglo
French-owned Suez Canal and
of most other foreign owned
business has evolved into a
new program Of "Arab social
ISM"
There is a revolution in ag-
riculture, another in Industrial
iZation.
So many changes going on
simultaneously make Egypt
one of the worlds most diff
cult countries to assess. Opin-
ions on what is happening diff.
fer radically.
The chronicle., 1963-11-07

Partly because of its location
and partly because of its inter-
nal revolution under NasSer,
Egypt today exerts more influ-
ence on the Arab world than
any other country. From the
northeast corner of Africa it is
involved in the continents
struggle for independence and
progress. But it also links the
Arabs of North Africa with
those Of the Asian East and it
is in the Arab world that Mas
ser has cast his political for
tunes.
In February 1858 Syria unit
ed with Egypt and the two took
on the name United Arab Re-
public. Syria broke away in
September 1861 but Egypt re-
tains the official U.A.R. name.
In April NaSSer signed an
agreement to federate Egypt
with Syria and Iraq into new
and larger United Arab Repub-
lie, but political differences
with the Damascus and Nagh-
dad regimes have since killed
that plan. Yet few observers
would write it off entirely.
to Arab unity, the course has
been set bY Cairo.
