The Bonn Government’s latest proposals to Egypt and the Arab states to counteract their opposition to the German-Israel reparations agreement will be presented to a meeting of the Arab League January 13 by Egyptian Premier Mohammed Naguib, it was reported here today.
(The New York Times reported from Bonn today that Chancellor Adenauer’s government has queried both Israel and Egypt on a proposal to invite the United Nations to supervise and enforce the German-Israel reparations pact. Bonn is reported to see this as a means of eliminating Arab opposition to the pact.)

A spokesman for the three-man group emphasized that its presence had nothing to do with the threatened boycott of German goods by the Arab states.
