Brighter Outlook For The Fleet's Lit Up!"
Dilemma Canal Zone Agreement
TOT the least algnificant feature about the recent and current disturbances in East Germany has been the feeble effort made by the Kussions and their adminis- trative satellites in East Ber- lin to explain them away. Naturally, "foreign agents" are blamed for instigating the demonstrations which later developed into riots and tharc b08 been A hesitant acknowledgment of "grave errors" and a vague reference to a "serica of conciliatory measures in

NAGUIB'S TALK
WITH PREMIER OF PAKISTAN
Cairo, June 22.
The Pakistan Prime Minister, Mr Mohammed Ali, said after a two-hour meeting with General Naguib, the Egyptian President, that prospects for a settlement of the Anglo-Egyptian dispute over the Suez canal base were "brighter than ever.”
He told a press conference tonight: "This is definitely my feeling after the recent London talk and my meeting with President Naguib today."
The Pakistan Prime Minister said there was a need to organise collective defence of the Middle East as an
area.
"But in what kind and skape that I cannot say as yet," he added.
He was not prepared to enter into discussion of details other than to say that Pakistan was whole- heartedly behind Egypt's case for full sovereignty over her territory.
