the economic control strings at- tached to the offer by the World Bank.

Unless the difficulties can be re- solved. this poses a serious threat in the British-U.S. offer to help build what would be one of the world's greatest dams and thus. it is hoped, deliver a setback to Rus- sian designs on Egypt.

The Communists. through Czech- oslovakia. already are supplying planes and tanks to Egypt. and Moscow is reported by diplomatic sources to be prepared to put 5250.- 000,000 or more into the dam pro- ct.

Under the Western plan Britain and the United States would jointly put up about 3200,000.000 and the World Bank would give Egypt long-term loan for a similar amount.

But the hank has tentatively at- tached certain conditions. One is that some controls and watchdog procedures should be permitted the bank -in the management of Egypt's economy. The bank's posi- tion is that it wants to be sure that economic practices which it considers unsound will not jeopar- dize its loan.

Nasser is reported to have told Byroade bluntly he considers that an unnecessary l n t r u s i on into Egypt's affairs and in some re- spects a demand infringing on Egypt's sovereignty. He made it clear he would not have anything to do with the loan unless the
