Suez Plan Proposed by French Pineau Seeks International Canal Authority
French foreign minister Christian Pineau urged an international overseer for the Suez Canal with Egypt as owner to ensure revenue for Egypt while the canal remains under state control. He spoke at the 22 nation Suez conference amid behind the scenes talks with India and Russia to block the Western plan. The proposal would have the Suez Canal Company properly compensated as the owner, with Egypt entitled to revenues from the canal. Meanwhile, Betsy, a hurricane near the Virginia coast, was moving northeast at about 23 mph, threatening the region over the next 12 hours.
