"It is a . complete distortion to
imply that the Government Of
Israel is not ready to enter peace
negotiations and that it has to be
prodded into it. On countless oc-
casions, Israel has declared her
readiness for negotiations with-
out prior conditions if the other
party is also willing to negotiate
on such a basis.
"At the same time, the Govern-
ment of Israel deemed it neces-
sary to make it clear to the
United States Government that
she is opposed to any territorial
concessions. Israel does not sub-
mit prior , conditions to direct
negotiations with Egypt or any
other neighboring state, and it is
an untruth to talk about prior
conditions on Israel's part in this
respect. The Israel Government,
however, rejects absolutely the
fixing of prior conditions by
would-be mediators who ask that
Israel should agree to cessions of
territory—as was done in Sir An-
thiny Eden's declarations."

State Department revealed that

A full-scale congressional de-
bate on United State policy in

emerge in the coming session of
Congress if the Administration
asks for special legislation re-
quired to grant Egypt $200,-
000,000 to finance the "high
dam" at Aswan on the Nile.
Info-i -ned political quarters re-
ported that many congressmen
approve the allocation in prin-

tion's approach ignores the
basic crisis facing Israel from
the Communist-Egyptian arms
deal. Congressional sources

Mr. Macmillan rejected Mr.
Zilliacus' suggestion that Britain
was forcing Israel to make terri-
torial concessions under threat of
force by" the Arabs, contrary to
the United Nations Charter. He
said that members on both sides
of the House were "keenly anx-
ious" to see a settlement reached.
Asked whether Britain would re-
fuse to supply arms to countries
which get weapons -from the
Soviet bloc, he replied negatively
because Britain was not in a posi_
tion to enforce any arms embargo
since it no longer had a dominant
role in supplying arms to the
Middle East.

circles have continued to ex-
press a view. that Arab-Israel
peace prospects were improv-
ing despite statements by Sec-
retary Dulles and Israel Foreign
Minister Sharett. Mr. • .Sharett
warned that t h e situation
might be getting worse while
Secretary Dulles said • there
were no concrete develop-
ments indicating peace be-
tween the Arabs and Israel.

Because of the "improvement"
in the situation and the desire to
avoid jeopardizing it by an "arms
race," one source suggested that
hasty action would be avoided
on Israel's arms list. The list is
now under consideration by the
State and Defense Departments.
A concensus of opinion among
sources in the government was
that action on the list, whether
affirmative or negative, could not
be expected until early 1956. It
was pointed out here that the
United States is on the verge of
improving relations with Egypt
through American assistance on
the construction of the "high
