Sir Harold Beeley, former British Ambassador to Cairo, arrived in the Egyptian capital last night for talks with the Nasser Government as the personal envoy of Foreign Secretary George Brown, Sir Harold, who has been attacked by the Israeli press as “pro-Arab,” told newsmen in Cairo that Britain wants to resume relations with Egypt “as fast as possible in all spheres-diplomatic, cultural and economic.”

Meanwhile, it was announced here today that Yugoslavian Foreign Minister Marco Nikezic was coming here as the representative of Marshall Tito to discuss the Middle East situation with Mr. Brown.

(A dispatch from Belgrade quoted President Tito as telling India’s Premier Indira Gandhi who arrived there last week, that action toward settlement of the Middle East crisis depends on the great powers, “especially on those which, by their attitude, are enabling Israel openly to make territorial claims and take a position more and more rigid,” Tito warned that” attempts by various maneuvers to prevent a solution and to force the Arab countries into accepting conditions which would mean their capitulation may only deteriorate the situation and render even more difficult the reaching of a constructive and just settlement which, we are deeply convinced, would be in the interests of all countries in the region.”)
