West Bidding Against Reds On Egypt Dam
Cairo June 19 West Bank president Lugeite L Black arrived with a Western offer to finance the Nile dam project as Egypt weighs a Soviet loan reported at 1.12 billion dollars. Premier Nasser, about to take office, said Egypt must preserve independence and cooperate with any nation that respects Arab unity while avoiding commitments that burden cotton economy. Officials emphasized Western terms, including grants and a World Bank loan, over Soviet options, as talks proceed amid Egypt’s independence celebrations and evacuation of the Suez Canal zones. The bank’s ratification of a February understanding could allow 200–250 million dollars in lending with Egypt providing labor and materials for 760 million dollars of work, with initial Western gifts of 70 million dollars and subsequent loans of 80–150 million.
