It is indeed hard to compre- hend how any government which values its moral position can give - or sell arms to governments whose primary international ob- jective. is to harass, besiege, in- timidate, and if possible, destroy a neighboring state with which they refuse to establish peace," Mr. Eban said. Pointing out that he prefers not to rebut the "accusations of dubious title and false content" made by the Egyptian delegate during the general debate at the Assembly, Mr. Eban said that, in Israel's conception, the Middle East is a region. in which Arab states and Israel have an uncon- ditional duty to live together in peace side by side. Reiterating Israel's desire for peace with the Arab countries, Ambassador Eban told the UN Assembly: "There are no prob- lems outstanding between Israel and the Arab states which would for so much as a few weeks sur- vive a mutual decision to solve them by negotiation. The tragedy of the Middle East lies not only in. the Arab refusal to envisage peace and mutual recognition, but, even more acutely, in the painful consciousness of the rich potentiality which lies so close to our common door. If we are denied this fair prospect of con- ciliation; if conflict and contro- versy are forced upon us, . we shall deploy ourselves accord- ingly." Referring to proposals for an Arab-Israel peace settlement made by United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Is- rael's chief delegate told the As- sembly that these proposals merit Israel's "careful and dis- cerning reaction." He pointed out that while Israel has reservations .on some of Mr. Dulles' points, first was that the Arab countries Were independent governments and free to do whatever they wished in the matter.

This statement was made by Shlomo Kaddar, Israel charge d'Affaires to the Czechoslovak Foreign Of- fice. Acting on instructions- from Jerusalem, Mr. Kaddar sought an explanation of the Czechoslovak agreement to sell Egypt arms. He told the Czech Deputy Foreign Minister, Mine. Trude Sekani- nova, that Egypt, armed by the Czechoslovak government, would be a danger to Israel's security. He insisted that delivering arms to an aggressor nation was tanta- mount to abetting aggression and could not be excused by terming the matter an ordinary bilateral trade transaction.

Israel Will Defy Egypt's Blocking of Tiran Strait UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (JTA) — Israel has informed the United Nations Security Council of its insistence that the Strait of Tiran, the entrance to the Gulf of Akaba, is an interna- tional water way and that Egypt's blockade is illegal. In a letter signed by Mordecai Kidron, deputy chairman of the Israel delegation to the UN, Is- rael stressed its position, stated in identical fashion two weeks ago by the Foreign Ministry — that it would make use of the strait under any and all circum- stances • it chose, despite Egyp- tian attempts to regulate traf- fic through the channel.

Denmark Supports Dulles On Promoting Arab-Israel Peace Denmark became t h e first member of the United Nations to voice formal support in the General Assembly of the pro- posals by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for bringing about peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Dulles Discusses .Egyptian Arms Deal With Molotov WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Sec- retary of State John Foster Dulles told reporters here he discussed the sale of arms to Egypt with Soviet Foreign Min- ister Molotov in New York. He declined to inform reporters on what position Mr. Molotov took. Mr. Molotov was also approach- ed in New York by British For- eign Minister Harold Macmil- lan. Asked whether the United States would sell arms to Israel to balance Communist munitions being sold to Egypt, Mr. Dulles said Israel has access to arms in many areas. Asked for his views on the Communist agreement to arm Egypt, Mr. Dulles said, "it all depends on what the quan- tity and kind of arms are."
