Mid-East

sell-out NASSER'S reply to the US proposals for a Middle-East settlement was expected to be issued last night. Reports from Cairo, Moscow and Jerusalem all indicate that the Egyptian leader has been persuaded by the Soviet leaders to begin serious discussions on the plan.

Yesterday's 'Al Ahram', the semi-official Cairo newspaper, published the text of US Secretary of State Rogers' message to Egypt proposing a ceasefire while negotiations begin.

'Al Ahram' emphasized the 'two pillars' on which the Egyptian position rested. Israel had to withdraw from all territories occupied in 1967, and 'the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people' had to be recognized.

The second point is vague enough to allow Israel to remain as a Zionist base for imperialism against the Arab revolution. This is confirmed by the line taken in Moscow.

RESPECT

'Pravda' on Monday 'assured Israel that the Soviet Union respects its right to a secure existence'.

On the question of the occupied territories, "Pravda' spoke, in the words of the United Nations 1967 resolution, of 'withdrawal from occupied territories, without saying that all territories must be relinquished.

This is where the Arab guerrilla movements, expressing the determination of the Arab masses to liberate Palestine itself from Zionist occupation, becomes a major issue.

It seems likely that, during his long visit to Moscow, Nasser has been pressurized into accepting the need to guarantee to keep the guerrillas under control, in the event of an agreement with Israel and the imperialist powers.

The reaction in Jerusalem is understandably to registér alarm at the possibility of being forced to give up the captured lands.

This is part of the bargaining game which must now become intensified.

186a Clapham High Street, ignore troops By an Industrial correspondent SPECULATIVE reports that the TUC General Council would be giving urgent consideration to the Tories' threat to use troops on the docks proved unfounded yesterday.

In fact, according to Congress general secretary Victor reather, , the matter was not even discussed at yesterday morning's council meeting: It wasn't raised.' And no arrangements have been made for a special meeting of either whe full council or its finance and general purposes 'inner cabinet' if the government carries out its threat.

General Council members backed Monday's wishy-washy inner cabinet' resolution appreciating 'the desire of the dockers to secure an improvement in the basic rate of £ll ls 8d in the light of the TUC's declared support for the establishment of reasonable basic standards of wages.

They hoped that 'an early and satisfactory settlement' of the dispute would be reached.
