UNITED STATE (Continued from VaKr One> permission of the Arab governments tor Soviet warships to visit their porta starting Aug. 15, the day before the scheduled opening of the Sues conference in London. The government of Iraq issued a communique on the Sues situation in which it said it ‘B‘tands behind Egypt” in the present crisis, although it added it hoped “wisdom would prevail.” The move by Iraq, a member of the pro-West era Baghdad pact and considered Britain's strongest friend in the Midwest, was considered a major blow. The Iraq statement said “ns tionalisation is the undoubted right of any nation.” The action aroused fear in some British quarters that the Arab states might start a movement to nationalise the vast Western oil holdings in the Middle East. These holdings include American as well as British interests. The foreign office in London issued a meticulously worded statement in which it noted Iraq's stand and Egypt’s action. “We fully endorse the hope expressed in the Iraqi statement that ‘wisdom may prevail to solve this dispute’,” the foreign office statement said. "We also support Egypt’s aspirations in • achieving “Its dignity, sovereignty and independence’,” Meanwhile, the Arab League political committee will meet in Cairo Tuesday to draw up Arab plans to counter any Western moves against Egypt’s seizure of the Suez. ' '. „ Authoritative sources said the meeting would take "vital decisions” to form a united Arab front in the canal crisis. The sources added that the Arab nations will marshal their forces , "in the face of any eventualities if the Suez crisis deteriorates.” Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser scheduled an extraordinary meeting of his cabinet for tonight at which a decision probably will be made on whether to attend the London conference on the Suet canal, ■ ,•, , If r o have something v see cs rooms for rent, tty a Demoend Want Ad.
