CAIRO (AP)-The four - power Arab summit conference has re- affirmed neutrality in the cold war. It took no public stand on Communist penetration of the Middle East or the Eisenhower doctrine.

The conference Wednes- day night issued a communique signed by King Saud of Saudi Arabia. King Hussein of Jordan. President Shukrl Kuwatly of Syria and President Nasser of Egypt. The meeting had special sig- nificance in the light of Saud's recent talks with President Eisen- hower in Washington. The com- munique praised the king for ex- plaining to U.S. leaders the "Arab point of view regarding Middle East problems and other questions raised."

The Arab leaders reaffirmed their "positive neutrality" in the cold war. They said they are de termlned to shield Arab countries from its harmful effect.

IRAQ CRITICIZED

The communique declared that the Arab states must provide their own defence "outside the sphere of foreign pacts." This was an obvious slap at Iraq. While that

Arab Conference Reaffirms Neutrality In Cold War

country has declared repeatedly its solidarity with the others re gardlng Israel and Arab nation- alism. Iraq belongs to the West- ern-alied Baghdad Pact and says it has no intention of quitting it.

The leaders said they will work for Israel's lmmediat and uncon- ditional withdrawal from Gaza and Aqaba.

The Arab leaders also:

Demanded compensation for Egypt for Inst fall's fighting in Suez and Sinai.

Rejected any attempts to re- duce Egypt's sovereignty over the Suez Canal. They said that free- dom of navigation through the waterway is stil established by the 1888 Constantinople conven-

on.

Condemned what the Arab lead- ers called British aggression against Yemen in the dispute with that Arab country along its bound-

protectorate.

Pledged "absolute support" for the Algerian nationalists in their tight for independence from France.

After the communique was signed. King Saud received U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare for the second time in two days. There were newspaper reports that Soviet Ambassador E. D. Kiuelev also was trying to see the king but had not obtained an appointment.

port would not be conclusive as this Committee would never func- tion properly or be able to give a report of any value.

"It is noted that the Minister proposes to open a teachers train- ing course at St. Dunstan's Uni- versity. Why the necessity of this. no doubt the Minister will explain I do know there are ample facil- ities at Prince of Wales College for the training of teachers to ful- fill all our needs.

"Let the Minister make the

” profession attractive by the payment of adequate and com- parable salaries and he will then find that the course at Prince of Wales College will be patronized and the necdful number of new teachers available each year.

"We are not the only Province experiencing a shortage of tea- chers but we. due to the lowest of wages are in the worst spot. To realize the seriousness of the situ- ntion we merely have to refer to what the President of the Royal Bank recently said in his annual report: 'The economic position of all teachers has deteriorated rel- ative to other professions of com- parable training and responsibil- ity. Thus the teacher today finds himseif in the same occupational depressed area which he occupied as long ago as 1776-with the present disparity between the sai- arles we pay our teachers and the salaries we pay for comparbale talent elsewhere. we cannot expect to recruit or to retain enough qualified men and women to main- tain our present teaching stand- ard in our schools and univer- sitter."

MOTRERLAND RELATIONS

Speaking in reference to Can- adafr relation to Great Britain. Mr. Boll said. "As we know last fall Great Britain and France were forced to move into Egypt to pro- tect the Suez Canal. Their action was not one of aggression but as a protection for world commerce and to curb the actions of an irrespon- sible dictator.

"Tho Suez Canal was to have been maintained as a world com- mercial route and there was to he acts of ngresslon. I venture to say that it Great Britain an d France's original plans had been carried out. the middle east would not be in the condition it is today. And why were these plans curtail-

"What the threat of the Premier of Canada. against Great Brit- all: actually was, we do not know. but we know it was a threat that the Commonwealth would be dis- ru . that is thht Canada would and leave our Mother iir. fact both our mother countries in the lurch.

EDEN'S RETIREMENT

"It is with deep regret that I mention the loss from the ouncils of world Affairs of Sir Anthony Eden. He was a man trained from boyhood to be a statesman. trained in world affairs and in the affairs of our Great Common- wealth. Where is be today? The world had lost this great figure.- he has retired with failing health and a broken heart. a condition in which I am sorry to say. Canada under our present Government played a part. The mover of the address endeavoured to cover up for Mr. St. Laurent and stated we need not fear for England while Mr. St. Laurent was Prime Minis- ter. Mr. Speaker. this is a far cry from the actual facts and from the actions of Mr. St. Laurent in October and November last. They are not supporters of Great Britain and apparently prefer to follow the music of Yankee Doodle ra- ther than Rule Britannia."

In concluding his address. Mr. Bell said. "Something has to be done. When I said a few years ago that we were losing our popula- tion. there were those who said I was wrong. They said. 'we will have a population of l0B.000.' but since the last census. 1 find now that I was right. This has taken place in spite of a natural increase of births over deaths of 1.500 per year."

"I contend that the per capita basis is not a correct manner in which to arrive at our fiscal needs and if conditions continue this place will become deserted. We'll never keep people here so long as Ottawa keeps giving away mil- lions to other Provinces." he said. WEST RIVER BRIDGE

The Opposition Leader said the West River Bridge had been start-

and abandoned and started again and is still not across. He said the mistakes that had been made in this project involved need- less squandorng of the Govern- ment's money. "These mistakes could not be made in any business firm that expected to stay solvent.' said Mr. Bell.
