A professor from Cairo, Egypt, said Friday that the socialism of the United Arab Republic (UAR) was not consciously developed as socialism.
Mohammad I. Kazem, assistant professor of education at Ein-Shams University, Cairo, discussed socialism in the UAR, and Bertil Liljebladh, assistant professor of German, discussed socialism in Sweden at the Current Events Forum.
"We mean by socialism a kind of experimental, scientific way of life.

created when both the United States and the Soviet Union had atomic weapons provided the opportunity and necessity for smaller nations to develop on their own.

Prof. Kazem said the smaller nations had to develop faster than the big powers in order to be in a position "to confront these big powers" if the U.S.-USSR balance of power is ever lost.
"IN 1952, when we had the revolution, the first cry of the revolution was land reform."
Ownership of land was limited to 200 acres (each acre consisting of 400 square meters). This was not stated as a socialist movement, but as a practical solution to pressing problems, he said.
"The second stage of our socialism came with the British and French invasion in 1956," Prof. Kazem said. This gave the UAR opportunity to nationalize British and French businesses and banks.
In 1961, land ownership was further limited to 100 acres and a limit was put on the value of corporate stocks a person could own. The new law limits income to a maximum of about $17,000. About 25 per cent of the profits of each company is distributed among the workers.
PROF. LILJEBLADH said Swedish socialism was developed in order to give each Swedish citizen a more equal share in the country's wealth.

"All of the parties agree that we should have a policy that will give all of our citizens the benefit of all the resources we have," he said.
Prof. Liljebladh said Swedish socialism is not based on Marxist principles and that about 95 per cent of business in the country is privately owned.
