United Nations 'mediator' Jarring will then begin work on indirect Israeli-Arab negotiations.

The conference of Arab countries, due to open in Tripoli yesterday, was postbonedi while the Libyan leader Gaddat flew to Baghdad for talks with the Iraqi government.

The Iraqis, like Boumedienne of Algeria, refused attend the Tripoli 'summit' and have attacked Nasser for agreeing to the US proposals.

Throughout the Arab world, Nasser's standing is in decline as a result of his acceptance of the Rogers According to a Baghdad report, 5,000 demonstrators against the plan were dispersed by troops in Cairo on Sunday.

Nasser's main supporters are now the Stalinists, who were responsible for persuading him to accept negotiations based on the permanent existence of a Zionist state.

Moscow Radio and 'Pravda' refer to the US proposals as the 'Arab peace initiative'.

"The British dockers' victory will encourage other categories of workers to enforce their justified wage demands by strikes.' The broadcast-again like Moscow Radio - peddled the classical Stalinist line that the Tory • Party has a 'progressive' wing that under pressure from the working class can stand up to the die-hards and the employers:
