It still regards him as an able, honest and dedicated leader of Egypt. It disapproves of Radio Cairo's vicious propaganda campaigns, preaching hatred and revolt to other Arab nations (TIME, March 26), but also hesitates to make common cause with discredited colonial positions, and to assume the ancient burden of hostility (the U.S. has earned enough Arab hostility on its own by its sponsorship of Israel...
