Russia to Assist in Liberation of Mid East Peoples
An Egyptian newspaper report says Soviet Foreign Minister Vishinsky told a Paris interview that Russia will aid Middle Eastern peoples to free themselves from Western economic domination. The statement, published in Al Misri, notes unity and joint effort as obstacles to Western military aims and calls for saying no to becoming cannon fodder or military equipment. The report links to Azam Pasha’s Paris lunch with Vishinsky and Malik, amid British anxiety over Moscow Cairo ties. Polly Moran, 68, an early 1930s comedienne partner of Marie Dressler, is hospitalized with a serious heart ailment.
