Box 491 Fourth Year Al-Azhar commemorates the Algerian revolution Mr. Ismail al-Azhari, President of the Sovereignty Council in Sudan, sent today the telegram he received from the Bar Association containing its viewpoint on the constitutional dispute regarding the case of dissolving the Sudanese Communist Party. Today he receives Amin al-Shibl, President of the Bar Association, and Aqeel Ahmed Aqeel, Vice President of the Association, to discuss the Association's memorandum with them. New offers presented by the Iraq Petroleum Company to Syria Kuwait Radio quoted the Middle East News Agency in Baghdad as saying that an informed source stated that the Syrian government is still studying the new offers presented by the oil companies. The source added that the company expects to receive a response from the Syrian government within these two days. Iraq Petroleum Company sources are discussing the nature of these new offers presented to the Syrian government. On the other hand, it was learned that the President of the Republic, Lieutenant General Muhammad Arif, chaired a meeting held yesterday attended by Mr. Naji Talib, the Prime Minister, and the technical advisor to the Ministry of Oil to discuss the latest developments in the oil crisis. Informed sources said that President Arif emphasized in this meeting the company's adherence to Iraq's insistence on obtaining its revenues in full without being affected by the suspension of oil transit, and also affirmed Iraq's support for Syria's demands in its dispute with the company. It was scheduled that the Ambassador and General Manager of the oil companies operating in Iraq would leave Baghdad the day before yesterday after concluding his talks with Mr. Naji Talib, the Prime Minister, but he postponed his departure date to complete these talks with officials regarding the crisis of stopping oil pumping through pipelines to the ports of Tripoli and Baniyas on the Mediterranean Sea. The Prime Minister had met with Sir Dalet Hazel several times in this regard until the day before yesterday, and Dalet will resume his meetings with Mr. Naji Talib with the aim of reaching a solution to the crisis. Al-Atassi attacks the oil company Dr. Nureddin al-Atassi, the Syrian Head of State, spoke at a new training session from Sudan, talking about the battle with the Iraq Petroleum Company, attacking the company and accusing it of plundering the people's wealth, saying that we will not hesitate to seize the people's rights. He said that the colonial efforts being made now to obstruct the battle and narrow its arena within our borders will inevitably fail because the battlefield now includes the entire Arab homeland. He emphasized the necessity of popular forces' participation as a way to recover Palestine and eliminate Zionism and colonialism, and praised the joint defense agreement between Cairo and Damascus. Crisis among the princes in Saudi Arabia Al-Ahrar newspaper published yesterday, quoting its special correspondent in Beirut, that a crisis occurred among the princes in Saudi Arabia due to matters related to the situation in the army. Prince Sultan, the Minister of Defense, issued a decision to retire four senior officers, which upset Prince Fahd, who objected to the decision and ⟦slowly settled it⟧ through the mediation of Prince Talal Sami Abu al-Saud. The newspaper said that Prince Sultan insisted to King Faisal on approving it, then intervention occurred by Prince Khalid, the Crown Prince, and Prince Faisal al-Muhsin, which resulted in King Faisal withdrawing his signature from the decision. Continued on page 7 Al-Jumhuriya's Opinion Plans .. and Punishment The treacherous enemy has long persisted in provocation and attacking Arab citizens while they carry out their peaceful construction work inside Syrian territory. When they defend themselves, the enemy's apparatuses begin screaming and wailing, spreading false allegations about firing at a tractor or ⟦line⟧ securing border lines. Those who know realize that Zionist aggressions breed new aggression, and that they only fabricated the fuss to pave the way and justify, as they still feel the bitterness of defeat in the recent confrontation battle. They try to take revenge personally and forever, but the Syrian army taught them that lesson they cannot forget, and they found themselves in the UN Security Council defeated and forsaken, with the charges against them being criminality and shame. So it is no wonder if they avoid opportunities for sinful harassment. But the Syrian army adopted a new plan different from those old plans based on local defense upon aggression; rather, it relied on responding in kind, pursuit, and attack inside the occupied territories. The enemy understands only this type of discipline, and nothing scares them but attack, not defense which encourages them to persist in their error and increase their aggressions, as long as it costs them nothing but hit and run. But if they are pursued, attacked, and followed by striking forces even into the areas they occupy, they fear the consequence of persistence, as they receive the punishment for their crimes and aggression. The Arab position around the borders is developing for the better with the plan laid out by the Syrian army and applied successfully more than once, and its lightning attack was legitimate within the scope of state practice. The Syrian revolution opened the history of responding in kind to aggression before all Arab countries bordering the borders of Arab Palestine, and proved to them that it is possible to strike the enemy in the heart of the home they usurped, and that the Arab village is easy and harsh, and it is not in the national interest to settle for defense, complaint, grumbling, and bearing losses in lives and property. The enemy is the aggressor whether by their presence on Arab land or by their aggressive movements, and if they had not harassed, they would not have faced the attack. The new plan adopted by the Syrian army in its position and relied upon to crush aggression deserves from every citizen in the Arab homeland the highest appreciation, admiration, and esteem. It is worthy of being a good example for others and a model to be followed in protecting safety, for the Zionist gangs would not have continued treachery and advancement in the demilitarized zones if they did not know for certain that the Arab countries bordering them do not Continued on page 7 Crushing defeat on the resistance front in Jordan Fighting renewed between Syrian forces and the enemy Fighting renewed between Syrian forces and the enemy for the third consecutive day. An Israeli soldier was slightly wounded yesterday in clashes on the border north of Lake Tiberias. Fire was exchanged between the two sides last Sunday at the southeastern end of the lake. An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said last night that the incident that occurred yesterday began when a Syrian position fired artillery shells at a tractor on an Israeli farm in the Notik area east of Tiberias. The spokesman said that the Syrian response to ⟦line⟧ Guevara, is he alive and well? Dr. Fidel Castro, Prime Minister of Cuba, announced that Ernesto Che Guevara, the former Minister of Industry and his close friend during the revolution, is still alive and in good health. Castro, who was giving a press interview to a Polish-American journalist, added that he, Guevara's family, and his friends receive letters from him regularly. At the same time, Castro refused to give any information about Guevara's whereabouts and the work he is currently practicing, and sufficed by saying that this ⟦is handled⟧ with great care. It was rumored ⟦he is⟧ in a place that requires his presence there.

19 Issue 1074 Wednesday 4 January 67 Conflict between Madame "Mao" and Madame "Liu" in Red Guard posters! With the intensification of the Cultural Revolution in China, two new figures emerged on the stage of events: Madame Mao and Madame Liu, the wife of the Head of State. The former turned to publicly defaming the latter in Red Guard posters, accusing her - her counterpart - of a bourgeois outlook. But the battle has not yet ended with the victory of the Mao group; the Liu group is still strong and fortified in secure positions! The British Proposal By our political editor Britain has expressed another desire to handle the issue of stopping the Vietnam War and establishing peace after the government faced strong popular pressure calling on it to cease supporting the United States of America in its war policy. It was forced to submit a proposal to hold a meeting between the concerned countries to discuss the effective means of establishing peace. The United States government hastened to welcome the idea and confirmed that it is ready to participate in such a meeting wherever it is held. Since it was decided, many thought that Britain had submitted it before presenting it to the American government and discussing it, which made North Vietnam consider it a maneuver or a trick intended to mislead world public opinion. Whether this belief is correct or not, the proposal is open for discussion, and it is what is subject to conditions from near or far and did not enter the heart of the matter. But what can be said is that its issuance from Britain does not meet with sufficient trust because it is aligned with American policy and is not a neutral party in this war. Its success in this proposal involves other purposes in many regions. If a neutral country or countries had called for such a meeting, it would not differ, and in it all the souls of the concerned parties. If the call had been issued by the United Nations, its impact would have been global. But for the British government to undertake this endeavor, there is a special point of view, and it has its justifications in most probabilities and minds. The United States of America announced its readiness to enter into direct negotiations regarding the Vietnam issue more than once, but it was rejecting the preconditions. The British proposal came in this manner as well, meaning it began to place something new that goes beyond the scope of the American position. Therefore, the socialist camp responded with a quick rejection, complete silence, or fierce campaigns, and denunciation of its motives and purposes. Thus, it was the cause of a storm in international forums, and it became clear that the British government cannot play any effective role in this problem because it is biased toward one side, and it can only be with the side it is biased toward. Madame Liu: Publicly admitted that she betrayed Mao's ideas. Madame Mao: A film actress who is driven by achievement, Rock and Roll, and Madame "Liu". Mao, Liu Shaoqi, and Madame Sun Yat-sen: The battle moved to the families of these ladies this time. Workers moved away from the stage of the "Cultural Revolution," and the ladies stepped forward to occupy it! Personal competition between the two first ladies in China began to dominate in an unprecedented way over the bitter struggle for power in the Chinese leadership. They are Madame Mao Zedong, the third wife of the 73-year-old Chinese leader, and Madame Liu Shaoqi, the third wife of the Head of State. It is worth noting that Liu, who is 68 years old, is now facing a strong attack from the Red Guards. As for Madame Mao, the film actress from the city of Shanghai known as "Blue Apple," she is the first second of the head of the Red Guards. A group of rotten people Madame Mao had suddenly jumped into the political spotlight and delivered speeches to loud mass meetings in which she launched an attack on her husband's political enemies. Her latest demand is to purge and arrest all those enemies. Red Guard loudspeakers echoed her demands throughout the capital, while "Red Guard" newspapers published excerpts from her statements describing Madame Liu and her husband as a group of rotten people - while the same newspaper described Madame Liu as "Pickpocket No. 1." It seems that Madame Mao is acting in her life toward a counter-attack. Shortly after Christmas, posters that appeared in Beijing described anyone who dares to attack Madame Mao as "counter-revolutionary." Bourgeois outlook Red Guard posters and slogans called for "opening fire" against Madame Liu and demanded her criticism to the end. Some posters said, "Liu is walking on a counter-revolutionary path" and that she has a "bourgeois outlook"! In contrast to Madame Liu, Madame Liu was very active politically before the "Cultural Revolution" for the party and with President Mao's trust and dedication to his ideas, and this caused me much distress and anxiety. But despite Madame Liu's confessions, it cannot be said that Mao's supporters have achieved a decisive victory so far against the Liu Shaoqi group. The current political turmoil in China shows that no decisive settlement has been reached and that although Liu has suffered a "decline in his position," he has not "lost the position" completely. It is likely that the re-emergence of Madame Mao may be due, to a large extent, to Mao's poor health. In meeting after meeting, she assured the large crowds present that her husband's health is "extremely good." Attacking Jazz music In one of the recent speeches, the former film actress from Shanghai launched a fierce attack on "Rock and Roll, Jazz, and the art of stripping," describing them as degradation and decadence aimed at poisoning the people's thoughts and paralyzing them. It is worth noting that Mr. Mao Zedong married "Blue Apple," whose real name is Chiang Ching, in 1939. She was described as an intelligent girl who loves pleasure and fun and comes from a middle-class family. Mao had divorced his second wife, who accompanied him on the legendary Long March, in order to marry Blue Apple, and then sent his second wife to Moscow for medical treatment, but she has disappeared from sight since then. Mao had two daughters from his current wife. It is likely that Liu Shaoqi married his current wife, whose real name is Wang Guangmei, who is in her mid-forties, well-dressed, handsome, and enjoys vitality and activity. According to the statements of Japanese correspondents in Beijing, Liu Shaoqi's daughter was forced to publicly state that her father opposes Mao Zedong's line. Correspondents say that Red Guard posters pasted on the capital's walls revealed that the daughter made her confession last Wednesday at Tsinghua University. Another Japanese report said that Liu Hongshan, a former head of one of the Red Guard factions at the Forestry College of Beijing University, was forced to walk in the streets of the capital and was publicly insulted by the Red Guards. From: The Sunday Telegraph Sukarno does not intend to retreat or suffocate! While rumors dominate Jakarta that President Sukarno has reached an "understanding" with the leaders of the new regime stipulating that he take a long trip abroad, the death sentence passed on former Air Marshal Omar Dani, who insists he is still the leader of the revolution and the people, casts a shadow of doubt on the real situation in Indonesia. By: John Butler Translated by Al-Jumhuriya From: The Observer Dr. Sukarno abroad on a long trip. It was also announced that his favorite wife, Ratna Sari Dewi, of Japanese origin, will have a baby and has decided to give birth in Japan, which will take place in next February. Foreign Minister Dr. Adam Malik said last week: "If we leave matters as they are, our children will defecate in the streets." At the end of last week, young people were not only demonstrating in the streets, but selected groups of them were visiting - with the best publicity - every prominent figure, from the Attorney General to the Navy Commander, asking them for support so they could remove Dr. Sukarno from the Presidential Palace to the Military Court on charges of high treason in the failed communist coup in October 1965. Dani did not say much that was unexpected or unknown, but he mentioned something, with no lack of clarity, that Dr. Sukarno was collaborating with the coup. Dani's testimony was like what a loyal employee says who did his share of a dirty job because he was obeying the orders of his boss whom he believes in. But that did not save him, and he was sentenced to death on Christmas Eve. His lawyer said if my client is guilty, then the President is more guilty than him, and thousands cheered for him. Thus the fire traveled in the fuse and the dynamite exploded, and the Indonesian Bar Association, in solidarity with the judges, issued a joint statement that the evidence presented in the trial requires the trial of the President. I will strike and I will strike! Nevertheless, the power of resistance of "Brother" Sukarno will fall, for he has more than one political life. He took the opportunity of a breakfast banquet to meet his friends and take pictures with groups of journalists in the Presidential Palace. Omar Dani The executor and the President on a long trip abroad Sukarno and Sukarno, a hidden and public war of nerves that requires seven lives. Dewi (Morning Star) headed to Tokyo to have her first child. Will the President follow her? A feeling that something will happen soon. In more than one party this week, I heard people betting not on the chances of Dr. Sukarno staying, but on the time it takes to overthrow him. Yet there is no possibility that anything will happen to them before Parliament ends, which is the pillar on which the month of Ramadan rests. A long trip In some circles, there is still hope that a solution can be reached by having him travel Staying power These latest demonstrations were the result of weeks of disappointment, culminating in the trial of former Air Marshal Omar Dani for his participation. Peace prevails in Jakarta after it was announced that an "understanding" has been reached between Ernest Sukarno and the military leaders who rule Indonesia. Until now, this understanding remains a secret.

The foreword also includes the initiatives that guided the army's actions in liberating the homeland and achieving its full sovereignty, foremost among them the July 14 Revolution and other complementary revolutions. The Moral Guidance Division, managed by Staff Colonel Faisal Sharhan Al-Urs, continues to issue various publications for this occasion, including Al-Jundi magazine, which we hope will be distributed so that its circulation is not limited to the armed forces, but works to spread it among all classes of the people. "Al-Jumhuriya" also learned that Lieutenant General Hamoudi Mahdi, Chief of Staff of the Army, has extended an invitation to General Ali Ali Amer, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Arab Command, to attend the army's founding anniversary celebrations. Staff Major General Shaker Mahmoud Shukri, Minister of Defense, also sent a telegram to Al-Jumhuriya - that he extended an invitation to Mr. Ahmed Al-Shukeiri, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and Major General Wajih Al-Madani, Commander of the Palestine Liberation Army, to visit Baghdad on the occasion of celebrating the forty-sixth anniversary of the army's founding. The Foreign Exchange Directorate at the Central Bank Decides: Limiting the amounts allowed to be transferred for travelers to 100 Dinars Additional transfers are subject to the approval of the Exchange Administration and for necessary reasons The Foreign Exchange Directorate at the Central Bank informed all banks of the decision to limit the amounts allowed to be transferred to Iraqi travelers to 100 Dinars per year instead of 150 Dinars. This arrangement was put into effect from the beginning of the current year. The decision also stipulates the possibility of granting permits to transfer more than the amount of one hundred Dinars, provided that the traveler explains the health, scientific, commercial, and other necessities for which the increase in foreign transfer is required, which will be subject to the approval of the Foreign Exchange Administration. It was learned that the transfer fees will not be affected and will remain at the rate specified for them previously. It is worth mentioning that the Foreign Exchange Administration has taken several decisions in the last three years due to force majeure circumstances, reducing the amounts allowed to be transferred; in 1963 it was reduced from 300 to 150 Dinars, and the Central Bank imposed high rates of transfer fees for additional amounts.

Wednesday 4 January 67 Issue 1074 Al-Jumhuriya 7 Racial Discrimination in Britain Interest plays a role For the sake of the cycling champion.. the injured Brigadier General Al-Hajj Yahya Abdul Baqi, Director General of the Passenger Transport Service, commented yesterday on the talk published by "Al-Jumhuriya" for the stadiums regarding the joining of the champion Najah and touched upon the athlete Tariq Abdul Amir, the cycling champion. Brigadier General Yahya announced his readiness to serve sports in a way that he feels a desire to help this athlete who was injured in a sports race in his country while representing his country in an international race. He said, "The Service team is ready to play such a match with any team and at any time set by the Federation, and I hope that the proceeds will be in the near future to contribute to saving this athlete in appreciation of what he provided and in valuation of sports in the loyal Tariq. The Directorate, and for the sake of the sports movement in it to proceed in the most complete and correct manner. It is mentioned that the Service football team continues its usual training under the supervision of a great international player who has his fame and credit in this field, and has started training two weeks ago. Mr. Ismail Mohammed, Secretary of the Olympic Committee and Director of School Sports, had inquired about the continuation of football training due to his work and private circumstances. World Cup Championship in Driving In the first stage of the World Cup for drivers in the international car race that took place in Johannesburg yesterday, Pedro Rodriguez from Mexico won first place, covering the distance in a Cooper Maserati car in two hours, five minutes, and 45 seconds. The length of the race is 195 miles. Second in the race came John Love from Rhodesia, driving a Cooper car, and he covered the distance in less than 26 seconds from Rodriguez's time. It is noted that US President Johnson has generally remained silent since he returned to his country after holding the "Manila" conference with a number of heads of state following in the wake of the United States. It seems that the accumulated internal problems, the intensity of the Vietnam War, and the possibilities of holding peace talks make him prefer silence waiting for what will happen, but his social activity is still strong! Johnson is afflicted with the disease of silence! Despite the many news reports talking about President Johnson, the American people have known that Johnson has gone into silence for longer periods since he made his Asian trip and since the elections and operations that took place last November. His stay in Austin during Christmas was a model. Last year, Johnson and his wife attended church services twice during Christmas; the first time in a crowd at midnight with their daughter Luci, who got engaged the day after Christmas, and the second time they went to the Protestant church on Christmas morning with their daughter Lynda. As for this year, the President and his family attended midnight mass at St. Xavier's Catholic Church, and the family did not attend the service in Fredericksburg on Christmas morning as was expected. And economic and internal. The elections went against the President, and the Democratic government faced a revolution and rebellion. Political observers, including state governors, say the President feels deeply disturbed as he looks forward to the upcoming election battle in 1968. The revolution will explode Despite claims that silence was achieved in last Wednesday's meeting with the governors, the revolution could easily explode again. Finally, the President must this year make a decisive decision regarding the budget and legislative programs, and these require a lot of detailed work, especially before the President faces the issue of increasing taxes, making another cut in social spending, and the issue of spending a billion dollars on the production of anti-missile weapons. There is no doubt that the President will appear as he was, so anxious, with an exhaustive argument, for criticisms that may this time present his fatigue instead of presenting his blessings. The Campaign Against Racial Discrimination organization in London announced yesterday the existence of discrimination against colored people in jobs in Britain and urged the enactment of laws that would be more effective in eliminating this discrimination. This organization, which defends civil rights, in a report submitted to the Special Committee on Trade Union and Employer Associations, accused administrations, unions, and government and private employment agencies of practicing discrimination against colored people. Abolishing control over Oil companies in Indonesia In a Reuters news report, the ruling Presidium in Indonesia announced yesterday that it had decided to withdraw an order issued by the previous government placing foreign oil companies under temporary government supervision. The official Antara agency said that the supervision and control decision had been canceled for companies such as Caltex, Shell, and Stanvac. The determination of the Somali people to support the independence of French Somaliland The Somali Parliament approved a draft resolution stating that any aggression against independent French Somaliland would be considered an aggression against the sovereignty of the Somali Republic. The draft resolution, which was approved in a secret session, stated that the Republic of Somalia reiterates the declaration of the determination of the people and the government to support the people of French Somaliland morally and materially in obtaining their right to self-determination. Heavy guard for a reckless house in Florida Crowds completed on p. 1 their places in front of government buildings and mentioned that anyone entering the government building is being searched thoroughly, even ladies are subjected to the same treatment and their heads are searched for sticks of dynamite. The Cairo newspaper Al-Jumhuriya published yesterday morning an investigation into the explosives discovered daily in Amman and said that the explosions had spread an atmosphere of tension in the cities, as the agricultural authorities were ending their attempts to resist the deterioration. The newspaper added that King Hussein held an important conference attended by the Jordanian command staff, and some Syrian refugee officers in Jordan joined the meeting. The newspaper also mentioned that King Hussein had summoned some heads of Arab tribes, foremost among them the Palestinian Liberation Army, as the Hebron area exploded. New life The desired driver on p. 3 In Italy and Yugoslavia.. any of the developed countries.. whose weather conditions are similar to those of the Nubaria region.. the variety that will be imported is Al-Rawaki and will start by cultivating 18 million cuttings planted in an area of 800 acres producing seedlings sufficient to plant a thousand acres.. as for the other varieties, they will be tested locally from various producing farms.. And from the experts.. some information about watermelon is known.. that an acre needs 1400 seedlings and produces five tons of watermelon, from which four thousand liters of wine are obtained annually!! Meaning that he will get 280 million liters from the grape farm in the Tahrir Directorate.. Opinion of "Al-Jumhuriya" Like Iraq It goes beyond the narrow scope of defense, but the Syrian army made it rely on a new reality, a stunning truth, and a boldness it had not imagined before. Therefore, we look forward to the day when we see Arab armies fighting against a treacherous Zionist aggression, with distant pursuit, a vengeful attack, a decisive response, and comprehensive discipline, and this is the least that the situation requires at the present time. « Al-Jumhuriya »
