Khrushchev Battles Mao in Egypt
JERUSALEM — As these
lines are being written, Mr.
Khrushchev is in his 16-
day visit to Egypt.
The SS Armenia docked at
the port of Alexandria, carrying
aboard the Soviet chairman, ac-
companied by an entourage of
80, including

also some top military experts.
As the days pass by and as Mr.
Khrushchev delivers his several
scheduled addresses, more of the
visit’s objectives become known.
Officially, the visit is con-
nected with the completion of
the first stage of the construc-
tion of the Aswan Dam being
built with Soviet aid, both fi-
nancial and technical — and
there is no reason why Mr.
Khrushchev should not have
wished to cash in on the event.
Yet, the length of the visit
and the size of his entourage
make one wonder.
There is but little doubt that
en-Lai’s reoent visit to Egypt
and to a number of other Afri-
can countries — and his an-
nounced further visits there—
have evoked much apprehen-
sion in Moscow, especially as
Mr. Chou-en-Lai’s endeavors are
also directed towards the ex-
clusion of the USSR from the
Afro-Asian “club.”
This apprehension has found
expression in a number of Soviet
messages recently, directed to-
ward the Afro-Asian states, warn-
ing them of the “dangerous ra-
cial policy” pursued by Peking, a
policy aimed at “dividing the
world into white, black, ,and yel-
low.”
officials of the ministries for for-
eign, economic and development
affairs.
Of course, one should not be
surprised to find among them
one of the visit’s main objectives
is to offset the growing penetra-
tion of Communist China in the
African continent.
It is believed that Mr. Chou-
Indeed, there appears to be
ample reason for Moscow to be
worried over the trend of Chi-
nese penetration and its possible
impact on the wider scene.

RENEWED ARAB -MOSCOW ROMANCE WORRIES WASHINGTON
(Copyright 1964—by JTA)
WASHINGTON — As the Moscow-
Cairo romance — strengthened by
Khrushchev’s Arab-wooing, anti-Is-
raeli and Western speeches—contin-
ued to blossom forth this week, hopes
for tranquility in the Near East were
somewhat dashed in Washington
circles.
In recent months there had grown
the feeling in Washington that A) The
Soviets might restrain some of their
anti-Israeli attitudes, and B) That
the USSR might at least tacitly coop-
erate in limiting the arms race in
the Near East.
Recent talks of “peaceful coexist-
ence” has flown judiciously from of-
ficial Soviet tongues; in Paris last
month, Izvestia editor, Alexei Ad-
jubei stated that the Soviet Union was
ready to support “a peaceful solution
to the Israeli problem.”
* * *
APPARENTLY, however, the de-
sire for “peaceful coexistence” has
not prevented the USSR from trying
to inflame sentiments in the Near
East, inciting not only threats
against Israel, but also against West-
ern Powers. The messages of Khrush-
chev’s Cairo speeches, denouncing
U.S. and British bases in the Near
East and Israel’s Jordan River di-
version plans, came across very
clearly.
A few days before Khrushchev’s
Cairo debut, the American-Israel
Public Affairs Committee held its
national policy conference here.
While at their meeting here a year
ago, they simply warned of the dan-
gers in the Near East (a warning
even more valid today), last week
they directly appealed to President
Johnson for a review of American
Near East policy—“to meet the grow-
ing danger which not only threatens
a war of extermination against Is-
rael, but also weakens the United
States and undermines the security
and peace of the free world.”
The Arab-Israeli controversy be-
ing entrenched in the greater, gen-
eral East-West conflict, official Wash-
ington though verbally committed to
intervene against aggression in the
Near East, prefers not to take any
initiative. Thus, it has been from
Capitol Hill rather than from the
State Department that the attempts
to recognize and hopefully take ac-
tion in the Near East have been
made.

AT THE TWO-DAY Washington
conference of the American-Israel
Public Affairs Committee, Democrat-
ic Representative Thomas Morgan
and Republican Senator Hugh Scott,
both of Pennsylvania, joined in the
Committee’s appeal to President
Johnson. Morgan said that there
were two alternatives to the Near
East situation—either to put an end

amendment which bars assistance
to countries “preparing for military
aggression.” “We are under na obli-
gation to extend aid to countries
which threaten the peace . . .” he
said.
Unfortunately, the Administration
does not see application of the foreign
aid amendment to Egypt.
Morgan concluded, “if that alter-
native cannot be carried out, then
manifestly the Administration should
. . . make certain that Israel has the
arms to defend herself.”
SENATOR SCOTT also suggested
that President Johnson seriously con-
sider aiding Israel military defense
equipment to protect UAR-threaten-
ed Western positions. Blasting Nas-
ser’s use of U.S. aid to strengthen
his military for purposes of aggres-
sion against Israel, Sen. Scott called
for the termination of all United
States aid to Egypt.
As the UAR continued its fanfare
for Khrushchev this past week, con-
cern on Capitol Hill mounted.
