Farm Vote If the primary contests in the ilnited States did not decide what the Democratic presidential candi- (lute picture will be, they again alert- ml both major political partics to the important, perhaps even deciding role the farmer will play in the No- vemlier election. As perhaps never before. there has been a scurrying of politicians and newspapcrmen into Hip farm belt since the Minnesota and Wiscoiisin elections to sound out opinion. What is the farmer thinking as he is caught. in the squeeze between price declines and rising production costs? Such farm experts as Char- liw R. Shuman, president of the ; Anierican Farm Bureau Federation, t Otto Stcffey. president of the Illinois i Agriciiltiirnl Association. and .lim Rllsxvii, farm editor of the Des Nloiues Register. are most. reluctant to surmise about farmers' opinions, which are as diversified as the crops they raise.

Lebanon In the PlII.inil'lP.'-' surrounding Israel. bitterness frustration and a vast mass inferiority complex have created a new hcro oi pan-Arah- ism. Millions a re turning to Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser as their leader. Why has Egypt's ynum.: and im- patient dictator had so tremendous an impact? Two great social revolutions are getting under way in the Arab world - one in Iraq. where oil money is being plowed into de- velopment - and the other in Egypt. Brought to flower, this movement coiilrl go lar to stabil- ize the Middle East. Hnlli revolti- firms are mcnaced by the shadow of war. Moat Arab 1-: es are turned to- ward Egypt-even the eyes of the Iraqis. The Arab world has pushed Prime Minister Nasser to a place of imposing leadership But he is at. once the leader and the captive of Arab ambitions. To remain the leader he must ride with the tide of frustration. Nasser la aiisertliig his own and Egypt's leadership of the Arab world. but it la far from secure. npenlng battle of renewed war A decisive defeat. by larael in an opening battle of renewed war could topple Nasser from his pin- nacle. Other Arab leaders are jealous and wait the chance to challenge him. To keep his leader- ship Nasser has seized upon the international situation. He asserts the idea of Arab "unity" by assail- ing the French and aiding rebels in North Africa. He expresses Arab frustration with the West. by aisaalllng the Rritlsli as colonlaliats and encoiiragiiig anti . American- ism. PRONOIJNCEI) (ZHANIII-2 At the time of the I-Iuyptiuii rev- olution three years ago. Nasser seemed to the world a young idealist guided by noble intentions toward Egypt's long suffering masses.

For the first lime in his- tory. the lowly Icllali. accustomcti to nothing but poverty. disease and dirt. was to get a break. DESERT BLOOMED Bold projects got under way. As a promise of things to come. a new province was carved in the western desert. Water was chan- nelled frnm I Nile branch to lib- eration province and the desert bloomed. Here new villages were hiilit. -- clean stone houses. sanita- linn. health facilities. filtered wa- ter. all the things the peasant never knew. Selected families pop- ulated it. Some day. the fellahccn were told, all Egypt would be like this. The revolution was and is im- prcssive In its earnestness. Land reform is well under way. Filthy mud huts were soon to be replaced by alone houses. and for mice the unwashed Iellah had a stake in the future. Egypt would build a new High Aswan dam. and millions more desert acres would burst into flower. Electric power from the dam would bring new indus- try. The world applauded Nasser's dreams and wished him well. But the ferment of the Arab world concerning. Israel and the divisioii of the globe iniu East and West lilocs militate against the promise. If Nasser is to push him- self or be pushed into war. he can- not have the dam. nor can he at- ford to extend himself too much on costly reforms. The same for- mciit uttered him a ciiance to cap- italize on Arab unrest in North Africa and dabble in popular auti- Weslern campaigns in the name of "liberation " Now Egypt's bid for leadership in taking priority over the aims at the rrvoluilon.
