The AFL-CIO executive council charged today that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is deliberately inciting the United Arab Republic to aggression against Israel. The Council said in a public statement that Khrushchev’s visit to the UAR was “a hate-breeding tour” designed to encourage President Nasser’s ambitions to dominate the entire Arab world.
The Council noted “with dismay that the hope of the peoples of the world for peace and the efforts of our country and its allies for a genuine detente have been severely Jarred” by the Khrushchev tour of the UAR and his abusive statements there. Notice was taken by the Council of the continuing flow of Soviet ultra-modern weapons to the Egyptian armed forces.
