Abstract

The Council of the Arab League opened its 30th session in Cairo on October 1, 1958, and adjourned on October 18. At its first meeting, the Council accepted membership applications from Morocco and Tunisia, bringing the number of member states of the League to ten. It was reported that on October 11 the Tunisian representative, Mr. Habib el-Shatti, charged that some Arab countries were seeking to dominate proceedings and that the Arab League was working for only one faction and receiving orders from one member. The chief delegate of the United Arab Republic then withdrew from the meeting with the rest of his delegation. Later, it was reported, the Tunisian representative announced that his delegation was withdrawing from the League's session because, in his words, no worthwhile work could be accomplished within the League as long as there was no faith between Tunisia and the United Arab Republic. The United Arab Republic delegation returned to the Council meeting on October 14 after the Tunisian delegate's remarks concerning the domination of the League's activities by certain states had been expunged from the records. It was recorded that on October 18 the Council agreed to assess the members of the League £12 million Egyptian ($34,400,000 at the official rate of exchange) for support of the revolt in Algeria. This sum was to be part of the League's budget and so was binding on all members.
