...Egyptians. Fawzi's audience-the representatives of the eight Arab League nations* plus Tunisia and Morocco-personified all the quarrels which have rent the Arab world for 40 years. And some of the quarrels persisted at the meeting. But before long the beauty of Fawzi's plan had turned the meeting into an old-fashioned Arab love feast. ("You could practically smell the camel roasting," cracked one U.S. newshen.)

Originally put forward to bolster prices in five depressed industries (copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, fluorspar) -and incidentally win support for the President's reciprocal trade program from mining-state Congressmen-the $458 million support program ran into rough going after passing the Senate.
