PROVIDENCE, R.l.—Former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter seems lost among the images of
himself at press conference held at the Providence Civic Center during a presidential
campaign swing through Rhode Island. (UPI)
Egypt scorns
terrorists
London Economist News Service
CAIRO — (LENS) Recently
four freelancing Palestinian
gunmen seized the Egyptian
embassy in Madrid and
threatened to blow it up unless
Egypt withdrew its Sinai
negotiating team from Geneva
The Egyptian ambassador, one
of three hostages, remained
wonderfully serene, calmed the
gunmen down by adding his
signature to a document
denouncing the Sinai deal, and
after 16 hours they all flew
companionably off to Algiers,
where they separated
The Egyptian government
angrily announced that it held
the Palestine' Liberation
Organization responsible; the
PLO, probably correctly,
denied that it had anything to do
with it. At a dawn press con
ference in Algiers the guerrillas
said that they were students,
not members of any group, and
wanted only to alert opinion to
the dangers of the Egyptian-
Israeli settlement signed two
weeks ago.
They certainly alerted opi
nion to the fast deteriorating
relations between the Egyp
tians and Palestinians Both
sides are bitter but both are
limited in what they can do to
Self
interest
STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) -
America should stress its own
national self-interest in any
foreign aid as well as express
ing its humanitarian concerns
when assistance is given to
droughtstricken areas, says a
Stanford University professor.
Associate Prof. David Aber
nethy, a political scientist, said
instead of allowing people to
point out hidden elements of
self-interest as "part of an evil
capitalist plot, the government
should openly and candidly
stress self-interest.”

hurt each other President
Sadat has already closed down
the Palestinian radio service in
Cairo and there are reports of
new restrictions on some of the
Palestinians living in Egypt and
on the battalion of the Palestine
Liberation Army deployed
along the Suez canal.
Most Egyptians would
probably support Sadat if he
went on to close the PLO and
Fatah offices in Cairo; ugly
anti-Palestinian sentiments are
to be heard in the streets But
Sadat will be held back by the
difficulty of reconciling a
crack-down on the Palestinians
with his attempts to convince
his fellow-Arabs that the sign
ing of the Egyptian-Israeli
agreement did not mean that
Egypt is abandoning the Arab
cause.
This same cause, an im
palpable but enduring concept
embodied in the stateless
Palestinians, is the weapon that
the PLO can use most
damagingly against Egypt.
Terrorism, of which the Madrid
incident could be a gentle
foretaste, will not swing Arab
opinion against Egypt, let alone
make the Egyptians change
their own minds. But if the
Palestinians hammer home the
theme that Egypt has deserted
their cause, the Egyptians may
find themselves in a sort of
moral quarantine — even if the
Arab states that adopt this
holier-than-thou attitude have
few reasons themselves to be
smug.
The Palestinians hope to put
pressure on the Egyptian army
as the custodian of Egyptian
honor In their attacks on the
Sinai deal, the Palestinians

have, so far, refrained from at
tacking Egypt (or indeed, Sadat
himself).
Instead, in an obvious split
ting tactic, they have praised
the Egyptian army and laid
claim to its support. The Egyp
tian army is divided but, accor
ding to one well-informed Cairo
guess, at least three to one
behind Sadat — and pushing for
a clamp-down on PLO activity
in Egypt. The barbs fired at
Egypt may sting, but they also
make Egyptians feel more
Egyptian than Arab.
The battle for Egypt’s con
science obscures the more
serious development: the ero
sion of Palestinian moderation.
Over the past two years, the
PLO, under Yasser Arafat, has
achieved a fundamental change
of attitude. By accepting the
compromise of a state in the
West Bank and Gaza, and
relegating its ambition for a
secular Arab-Jewish Palesti
nian state to a dream for the
future, it has tacitly
acknowledged that it must live
alongside Israel.
True, the change was ten
tative, subject to backsliding,
and disputed. The Israeli
government did absolutely
nothing to harden the resolve of
those Palestinians prepared to
compromise, but Arafat could
argue that Egypt was striving
to bring about a change in
Israel's, and America's, at
titude. The fact that the Sinai
deal holds no promise that such
pressure will be continued is
meat for those Palestinians
who reject all prospect of com
promise or negotiation with
Israel.

Chromium poison scares Japan
By NEA/London Economist News Service
TOKYO — (LENS) — It used to
be traditional for Japanese
kabuki theatres to stage ghost
plays in August and September
in order to provide audiences
with a chilling end to the
summer season. Now real life
may be taking over from
kabuki
A chromium poisoning scare
has made thousands of people in
two of Tokyo’s 23 city wards
wonder whether they may be
about to get cancer The scare,
which hit Tokyo last month, has
since spread to Hokkaido in the
north of Japan and Shikoku in
the southwest. Inquiries launch
ed by local authorities, and
enthusiastically followed up by
newspapers, parent-teacher
associations and Communist
party branches, have uncovered
about 40 deaths from cancer
among workers at chromium

refining plants which seem to
have been caused by inhaling
chromium dust.
A vaguer but nevertheless
quite considerable body of
evidence points to the likelihood
that people who live near
dumped chromium slag will
have more than the national
average of respiratory dis
eases.
Like an earlier mercury
poisoning scare, the chromium
menace has been building up
undetected over a period of
years. Nippon Chemical In
dustrial. which is the chief
offender in the Tokyo area,
began to dump chromium slag
from its Tokyo refineries in
1938 and admits to having
spread some 530,000 tons of the
material over dozens of sites in
or near the capital. The com-
said he would take the
protection offered by the
federal government in “defe
rence” to his family and other
presidential candidates. The
nation, he said, needs time to
“cool off potential trouble in
the aftermath (of attempts) on
Ford.”
Page 40
pany’s president insisted at a
press conference a month ago
that slag was harmless — and
then partially retracted his
claim.
The Tokyo contractors who
do the dumping (most of whom
are unlicensed for the purpose)
prefer chromium slag to other
waste materials because weeds
do not grow on it. Children are
involved because the substance
has been popular for building
school playgrounds in low-lying
areas of Tokyo where land has
been reclaimed from the sea.
It took Japan until 1971 to
pass a law restricting the dum
ping of dangerous substances
(including chromium, mercury
and lead) by which time vir
tually all of the chromium now
bothering Tokyo residents had
already been dumped. Nippon
Chemical may be legally in the
clear but this will not prevent it
from facing massive claims for
damages and possibly being
asked to put up the money,
around S4O million, to remove
or cover the poisonous dumps.
The government must be
dreading a repeat of last year's
Chisso case when a convicted
mercury dumper had to be
given special financial
assistance to stop it from going
bankrupt and to enable it to pay
compensation to sufferers from
a mercury-induced disease
Good will come out of the

chromium fright if it at last in
duces the government to
tighten up controls on industrial
pollution, responsibility for
which is now ineffectually
scattered among a number of
different ministries. And one
body is already doing well out
of it — the American life in
surance company which started
selling cancer insurance in
Japan last November.
American Family Life
Assurance has so far sold about
240,000 policies; this is about
eight times its initial estimate
and about one-sixth of the
number of policies it has sold in

The company says that the
Japanese seem to have a par
ticular fear of cancer, even
though the rate of death from
cancer in Japan is much less
than in America and about half
the rate in Britain.
A lot of Japanese insurance
companies are expected to
jump on the cancer bandwagon
as soon as the ministry of
finance allows them to do so.
Cancer insurance could prove
to be one of the few best-selling
items in this year of depressed
consumer sales.
