Smaller Than In Previous Govt

London, Oct. 30.

The Prime Minister, Mr Winston Churchill, today completed his Cabinet, choosing two “strong men" to tackle the domestic problems of housing and the threatened fuel crisis.

The Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, asked to be relieved of his subsidiary job of House of Commons leader, saying that international con- ferences in the next few months would leave him no time.

Mr Churchill agreed, and turned over the House leader's duties to Mr Harry Crookshank, who is also Health Minister.

India May Propose A "Deal"

For Ending Korea War

SPECULATIONS

AROUSED

Paris, Oct. 30.

India was reported reliably today to be pre- paring to take the initiative for a "deal" at the United Nations General Assembly to end the

Korean war and seat Communist China in the

United Nations.

The belief was strengthened by the disclosure that the Prime Minister, Mr Jawaharlal Nehru, had named his pro-Peking Ambassador to Red China, Mr Sardar Panikkar, as a member of the Indian delegation to the sixth Assembly, which opens here next Tuesday.

The United States, British and French diplomats are giving serious thought to the possibility of an Indian-proposed “deal” to end the fighting and admit Red China.

However, American diplomatic circles emphasise, "We have two million tons of

COMMENT OF THE DAY

The Only Alternative

BRITAIN having given notice that

she does not intend to be forced out of the Suez Canal Zone, attention is now concentrated on Egypt's next moves designed to give substance to her unilateral revocation of the 1930 Anglo- Egyptian Treaty. The sporadic riots and anti-British demonstrations which have followed the decision of the Egyptian Parliament to condemn the treaty were to be expected, but they have not yet assumed really serious proportions and are not, apparently, part of any set design to enforce Egyptian control of the Canal Zone. It is to be observed that Nahas Pasha, Egypt's Premier and "Strong Man" has remained silent since he first sponsored the resolution by which Parliament abrogated the treaty. This

may mean he is reconsidering the situation. On the face of things there seems

very little likelihood that Egypt will push to the limit her demand for the complete evacuation of British forces from the Suez Canal and the Sudan. The physical inability of the Egyptians to do so is undoubtedly recognised by Nahas Pasha, a man who, in the past, has demonstrated that he is an astute politician and a skilful negotiator. It is the extremist spirits among the Egyptians who take the line that British forces must got out lock, stock and barrel, and that the Sudan and Egypt should be united as one country under King Farouk. The more realistic among them, however, see clearly that... In the present world situation some kind of compromise is more probable. They appreciate that the circumstances which confronted Britain and Egypt when Nahas Pasha was negotiating in 1995 and 1986 are not dissimilar from the world situation which la know developing as Nahas confronts his task

in 1951. Egypt in 1936 was faced with the threat of Fascist Italy, soon to be backed by Germany with its more distant but greater menace. Today Egypt has on her frontiers the new State of Israel with whom she is still technically in a state of armistice; while in the background looms the gigantic menace of Stalinist Russia. Many Egyptians have frankly admitted the parallel the Italian menace has dis- appeared but they feel that the Israeli menace has taken its place, and the same goes for the substitution of Soviet imperialism for Nazi imperialism. These are factors which may eventually sufficiently influence Nahas Pasha to permit him to guide Egyptian thought into

moderate channels. His personal influence in and out of Parlia- ment is tremendous, and the fact that the offer made by the Attlee Govern- ment to withdraw British forces from the Canal Zone if Egypt joins the proposed Middle East Defence Alliance and permit her bases to be used by forces of the Allied nations, has not yet been rescinded, may encourage Nahas Pashu to seek a reasonable solution to the impasse which he and his Govern- ment have created. Britain has not denied

a mutual the possibility of revision of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty, She has, very properly, denied Egypt's right to unilateral abrogation of the pact, and in this sho is supported by the United States and France. Britain has made it unmistakably clear that any attempt to implement révocation of the treaty by force must be and will be countered by force. But the door has not been closed to negotiations, and it' is this alternative which eventually must be adopted by Egypt if she is to obtain any satisfactory revision of the 1988 treaty.
