DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I I I i Egypt --Metamorphosis of Government By WARREN BENNETT AP Newsfeatures Staff Writer Egypt, the world's newest re- public, is a fabulous land that was the earliest empire of the ancient world. Its Nile valley is one of the cra- dles of western civilization but few counrties have suffered more, reck- oned in terms of human life, from misgovernment. In modern times, Egypt has been notable for the vast disparity between the riches of its rulers and the poverty of its people. The first president of the new Republic of Egypt is Premier Maj. Gen. Mohammed Naguib, "strong man" of the army revolt a year ago this month which forced Fa- rouk to abdicate. On June 18, Nag- uib ended the regency for Farouk's infant son Fuad II with the proc- lamation of the republic. EGYPT'S politcal history began about 3,400 BC with consolidation of the whole Nile valley by King Menes who made his capital at Memphis in Lower Egypt. This an- cient city vanished and through the ages Egypt has had a number of other capitals: Thebes, Alexan- dria and now Cairo. The story of Egypt is largely the story of the Nile, second longest river in the world. It is surpassed only by the Mississip- pi-Missouri in the United States. In the fantastically fertile Nile valley, fertilized each year by the overflowing river, clustered the ancient cities, temples and pyramids of the Egyptian dynas- ties. The desert's dry air has kept most of these ancient relics in a remarkable state of preser- vation. To fully appreciate the import- ance of the Nile, examine the ac- companying inset map. The Nileis the only break in the vast Sahara Desert which lays waste to most of the northern half of the Afircan continent. Modern Egypt comprises 386,000 square miles-half again the size of Texas-but 14/15ths of this is desert. Only about 12,000 square miles is cultivable. Most of this is in the long, narrow Nile valley and here live most of Egypt's pop- ulation of 20,729,000. * * * FROM 2,400 to 2,000 B.C., Egypt was ruled by a line of phar- aohs who made their capital at Thebes. Invaders from Arabia took over in 2,000 and ruled as the Shepherd Kings. It was they who reputedly introduced the horse to the western civilized world. The Jews came to Egypt in this period after a series of famine in Syria. The Arabian invaders were driven out in 1,600 B.C. by the pharaohs of Thebes who estab- lished a strong military state for about 500 years. Rameses II, greatest pharaoh of this period, made Thebes the most magnifi- ce4~ city of the age. The rem- nants of Thebes statuary and temples still are among the fin- est in the world. Egypt's power declined steadily after this and the Jews made good their escape from bondage in Egypt by fleeing with Moses across the Red Sea. Egyptians have not been a war- like race in recent times. Alexan- der the Great conquered Egypt in 332 B.C. and founded the city of Alexandria as his new Greek cap- ital. Alexandria succeeded Athens as the seat of Grecian culture. WHEN Roman legions under Au- gustus Caesar conquered Egypt in 30 B.C., Cleopatra was the reign- ing glamor girl. The Saracens took Egypt in 640 and the Crusaders swept over it in the 12th and 13th cen- turies. Napolion's forces held it briefly but the French were driven out by the British in 1801. The next invaders were Turks tnder Mohammed Ali, founder of the dynasty overthrown a fort- night ago by Gen. Naguib. Under Mohammed Ali's successors, the Suez Canal was built as a private commercial venture. The extravagances of Egypt's rulers during the late 19th cen- tury show how the welfare of the people and the nation suffered from misrule. When the canal was built in 1869, the Egyptian govern- ment had, in return for a 99-year concession, a guarantee of 15 per cent of the profits and 40 per cent of the canal stock. BUT THE CANALkwas not an immediate money-maker. The lav- ish living of Ismail "the Magnifi- cent" gave Britain an opportunity to buy the stock. In 1875, the as- tute Disraeli borrowed four mil- lion pounds from the House of Rothschild overnight - without Parliament's approval - and bought Egypt's entire block of 40 per cent of the shares. Ismail also sold the profit guarantee to a French private investment trust. Disraeli made the Suez a vital link in the lifeline of empire and British ships helped make it the busiest salt water canal in the world. Thus when the canal returned huge profits, Egypt had bartered away its share in the project for a pittance. The canal shares-still held by Britain-usually pay annual divi- dends equal to 20 per cent of the purchase price. The canal conces- sion will expire in 19868 when the property reverts to Egypt. Location of such a strategic wa- terway within her borders forced Egypt to the center of the interna- tional stage. In World Wars I and II, Britain moved promptly to pro- tect the canal against attacks by the Turks and the Nazis. IN 1922, Britain formally recog- nized Egypt as an independent sov- ereign state and agreed to con- tinue with Egypt joint administra- tion of the Sudan, first begun in 1899. In a 20-year alliance, signed in 1936, Egypt agreed to permit the stationing of 10,000 British troops and 400 planes in the ca- nal zone for protection. The treaty also allowed Britain use of Alexandria and Port Said as naval bases. The presence of British troops, now only in the Canal Zone, has been a thorn in Egypt's side. In World War II, Egypt did not de- clare war on the Axis until Feb- ruary,1945. Immediately after the war, Egypt renewed its demands for revision of the 1936 treaty, in- cluding recognition of Egypt's sovereignty over the Sudan and ouster of British troops from the canal area. Riots against the British took place and last July an Egyptian army coup led by Naguib forced Farouk off the throne.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. Monday in Schorling Auditorium,! University High School when Johnj J. Brooks will speak on the theme I topic. Brooks is director of NewI Lincoln School, New York City. Prof. G. Max Wingo of the con- ference committee will act as chairman of Monday's program and lead a group of professors from the School of Education in a panel discussion at 11 a.m. Highlighting the afternoon pro- gram will be three special sessions: "The Curriculum and Human Values" with Prof. W.

All sessions of the conference are open to the public. League Dance Set for Today I of French dances by Marais, they would have been greeted by hisses and boos if they had performed a similar program 25 years ago. * * * PROF. and Mrs. Courte were just beginning their careers during the height of the great artistic battles that rocked Europe during the late teens and the twenties of this cen- tury. Intimately acquainted with such famous contemporary com- posers as Milaud, Honegger, and Villa-Lobos, Prof. Courte was often on the stage when the music of these men was being hissed, jeered, and shouted at. At that time he taught at the Conservatory in Brussels and, played first viola in the National Symphony Orchestra and Opera Company. Recalling that Brussels then was just as important an ar- tistic center as Paris, Prof. Courte went on to describe the typical re- ception given contemporary mu- sic in those days. * * "DURING a performance of some pieces of Villa-Lobos, the au- dience was divided into two groups, one for and one against. It was the custom to put your fingers in your mouth and whistle as loud as you could if you didn't like the music. "Consequently you could bare- ly hear the music with one fac- tion constantly whistling and the other constantly applauding. At the end of the performance Vil- la-Lobos stepped to the front of the stage, and very politely said 'thank you'." But it wasn't just contemporary music that received this type of re- action. Prof. Courte also recalled how at an orchestral performance of the Blue Danube Waltz, there was a group of hecklers continual- ly screaming "commercial jam." Reminiscing still further, the medium height violist told how he played viola at the first per- formance of Ravel's Bolero, with the composer conducting. This work, too, he described as being in those days "controversial." "THE RIOTS in those days were exciting," he went on to add. "It produced satisfaction; you are only satisfied when you have to fight." However "twenty five years ago people would fight. Now we are used to contemporary music," Mrs. Courte continued. But both would agree that though the pres- ent day condition is not so provoc- ative, in the long run it is healthier since we have come to accept this music on its own terms.

These broadcasts in the Ann Arbor vicinity can b'e heard over WJR from 2:30-4:00 p.m. Opening tomorrow's program will be the Netherlands Bach Society singing the chorus from the sixth Chan- dos Anthem of Handel.

The final work of this program will be the last move- ment of the Fifth Symphony of Anton Bruckner. The choral parts will be sung by the Toonkunst Choir of Amsterdam, and the or- chestra will be the famed Concert- gebouw Orchestra, conducted by Eduard van Beinum. On Sunday, July 19, the Fes- tival will present the first broad- cast in America of Alban Berg's opera "Lulu." Berg, one of the most expressive and romantic of the school of atonal composers, never heard a performance of this opera as it was not per- formed until 1937, after his death. The opera, based on Frank Wedekind's tragedy "Erdgeist," will be conducted by Gustav Koe- nig and sung in German. The per- forming artists will be the Munici- pal Opera of Essen, Germany. CBS Radio's "The Music Room" tolorrow 9:00-9:15 a.m. will fea- ture duo-pianists Appleton and Field. Opening the program with translations of the work have al- ready been completed and a Ger- man edition is now underway. He explains that the object of the "New Criticism" is a "study of literature itself rather than the social life, country or scholar's writings about an author and E compared it to the study of a musical score or of a painting, rather than assorted anecdotes! about the artist. ** * "I STRONGLY attack turning literature into biographical dis- course," he said. "An author's ideas and life should be studied as implied, embodied and incar- nated in a work of art." The professor admits to be- ing a psychiatrist and theologian too, but "when I write about an author from these points of view, I don't pretend to be a literary critic," he pointed out.. . There are still many teachers hostile to the "new criticism," as all were in Prof. Warren's student days. "None of my professors taught literature as I think prop- er," he noted. He hastened to add, however, that the "New Criticism" is not a religion "with a series of dogmas." Its critics are all independent thinkers with a wide divergence of political and religious views. According to Prof. Warren, at Kenyon College of which he is a Senior Fellow, a balance is main- tained between the Catholic, psy- choanalytical, and Trotskyite new critics. l ' ii >) t, r i i For Worry-free Trips, Use TRAVELERS CHECKS, e * Travelers Checks offer both convenience and safety for your vacation trips.
