...Premier Chou En-lai arrived. He had flown to Rumania for the funeral of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, stopped at Tirana, capital of Albania, Peking's most distant and tiniest ally, and jetted on to Algeria and Egypt where he reportedly urged Ahmed ben Bella and Gamal Abdel Nasser not to invite Russia to the second Bandung-style conference of Afro-Asian nations scheduled for June in Algiers. Chou's point: despite its possession of Siberia, Russia is essentially a European country...
...Full Circle he sought to answer his Suez critics by shifting the blame to them. He had been right, Eden insisted, and charged the U.S.'s John Foster Dulles with misleading him into assuming that the U.S. would support the use of force in making Nasser "disgorge" the canal. Facing the Dictators traced Eden government years from election to Parliament in 1923 to his resignation, in 1938, as Foreign Secretary to Neville Chamberlain, whose appeasement policy appalled...
...Factory Hysteria." As the election returns might suggest, Nasser has been every bit as autocratic as Farouk ever was.

A Fiat assembly plant near Cairo employs 5,000 workers but turns out only 15 cars a day due to material shortages. The Helwan iron and steel complex produces rails that were turned down as inferior by Egyptian national railways and were finally accepted only on Nasser's insistence. At year...
...break diplomatic ties with West Germany. Ten Arab nations agreed to withdraw ambassadors from Bonn, but Morocco, Tunisia and Libya (which annually sells Bonn 35% of its oil output, or $245 million worth) refused to go even that far. Most of the foreign ministers were frankly appalled at Nasser's call for recognition of East Germany and an economic boycott of West German goods. "If Nasser expects us to do all that in the cause of Arab unity," growled one, "he has rocks in his head." What was emerging among the majority of Arab nations was a "no Germany...
