SUEZ: NEUTRALS HAVE A PLAN
1. Ownership For Egypt PEKING'S THREAT TO China Mail 2. Right Of Use By All FORMOSA WARNING
UNLIKELY TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO BRITAIN AND FRANCE
FROM RICHARD JORGENSON
Djakarta, Aug. 3.
Informed observers here believe the three "neutral" nations invited to the 24-power conference on the Suez- Indonesia, India and Ceylon---will
propose a compromise which might satisfy Britain and France while enabling' Col Nasser to save his face.
The compromise they believe will be based on the fact that the canal agreement of 1888 makes a clear dis- tinction between the ownership of the canal and the rights of international shipping to
use it.
The agreement provided that in 1968 ownership would formally pass to Egypt while the rights of other nations to use the canal would remain unchanged.
Washington, Aug. 3.
Mr Walter Robertson, Assistant Secretary of State for Far East affairs, said tonight that the Chinese Communists were "feverishly engaged" in building ten new airfields capable of handling modern jet planes, on the Chinese coast close to Formosa.
Speaking to the Virginia Bar Association at White Sulphur Springs he said that the Communist at- titude towards Formosa was perhaps the "gravest threat to peace in the Far East."
"Up to the present time, in cur long drawn out discussions in Geneva on this subject, the Chinese Communists have dog- gedly refused to agree to refrain from the threat or use of force | against Formosa," he said.
