Offer Package Deal to Bring Peace to Near East

Israel Grants Concessions to Egypt,
Jordan; Insists on Arab Reciprocity

(Continued from Page 1)
1. Minor mutual boundary adjustments.
2. Free port facilities at Haifa with transit rights for
Jordan.
3. A plan to afford a transit arrangement linking Jor- -
dan with Egypt across the Negev, but without cession of
any territory or compromise of Israel sovereignty in any
way.

4. Affirmative attitude toward
compensation of Arab -refugees
along lines outlined August 26
by Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles.
5. Agreement to the. Johnston
Plan . for Jordan and Yarmuk
Rivers involving release of
Israel water to the Arabs.
It was made clear that a set-
tlement offering the Arabs these
advantages would require simul-
taneous Arab extension of
parallel facilities to Israel and
cessation of the Arab boycott
and blockade activities.
Israel circles here said they
have absolutely no evidence that
the Arabs want peace. They feel
a U. S. . security guarantee ap-
plied to present boundaries
would increase ultimate peace
_prospects. If nothing is done by
summer, Israelis warn, growing
Egyptian military strength will
make the situation worse than
ever.
Israel circles here favor in
principle the support by the
United States of projects like
the Aswan Dam in Egypt. But
the Israelis are asking if Egypt
hasn't blackmailed the United
States arid whether the dam is
a reward to Egypt for signing
the Czech arms deal. The Israel
view on the dam is that if the
United States is to lend gener-
_ ous financial support, the West
–should extract something in re
turn from Egypt as a contribu-
tion toward regional peace—co-
operation with the Johnston
Plan being mentioned specifically.
.It is felt that nothing can be
settled finally by "remote cola-
trol." A third party may con-
vince parties to meet, the
Israelis think, but it is up to
the people directly concerned to
work out the final solution face
to face. Israel circles revealed
that Israel. today is working
more closely with the United
States than -with Britain, mainly
because of the Guildhall speech
by British Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden.

Abandonment or the cutting
off of the port of Elath will
never be envisaged, according
to the Israel viewpoint. Israel
rejects any.. notion of a "land-
bridge" across the Negev that
would involve anything other
than a juridical decision on
transit rights.
The outlook for Arab-Israel
peace is not encouraging, the
Secretary General of the Arab
League, Abdel Khalek Hassouna,
said after a meeting with Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles.
Mr. Dulles indicated Tues-
day . that the recent Israel-
Syrian - clash set back Amer-
ican hopes for a Near Eastern
peace, but indicated encour-
agement over consideration of
his Aug. 26 proposals.
Asked about Near Eastern
peace prospects at his press
conference, Mr. Dulles pointed
to his statement of two weeks
ago in which he said he knew
of no facts to' justfy any great
optimism.
A special new flexible fund
of $100,000,000, in addition to
economic aid for the Near East,
will be asked of Congress, Mr.
Dulles announced. Money for
construction of the Egyptian
Aswan dam will come from this
fund, he said.
Mr. Dulles ,said United States
support of the dam did not re-
sult from Egypt's playing off
the Soviet Union against the
United States but that American
interest in the project went back
two years.
Secretary Dulles said he did
not expect an increase in mili-
tary 'aid for the Near East in
the coming year. He said he ex-
pected m i l i t a r y expenditures
must go on for several years
to maintain military supply
pipelines that are being built in
countries in the region, and that
appropriations must be main-
tained to assure_ a smooth flow.
Reveal Plans for Eden,
Eisenhower Discussions
LONDON—Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden hopes to have
"full discussion on problems in
the Middle East" at his forth-
coming meeting with President
Eisenhower in Washington, R. A.
Butler, Chancellor of the Ex-
Chequer, said Tuesday in Corn-
m o n s, replying to questions
addressed to the Prime Minister.
Sir Anthony "would not wish to
commit himself to any special
proposals in advane,"' he con-
tinued in reply to a number of
questions by Labor and Liberal
MPs.

JERUSALEM — Jor d a n- has
nothing to fear from Israel as
long as that Arab country does
not embark upon any anti-Israel
adventures, Kol Israel National
Radio declared Tuesday in a
broadcast beamed to the riot-
torn Jordanian country.
In an address by King Hus-
sein, who on Monday dissolved
his British-controlled Parliament
in the face of popular opposition
to joining the Baghdad pact, for
which Britain is pressing, the
Jordan people were told that no
settlement would be made with
Israel until there had been com-
plete consultation and agreement
by all Arab states. ,
Commenting on this address,
the broadcast warned the Jor-
danian people that if they, like
the Israeli people, wanted peace
and stability, they would be well
advised to watch carefully their
government's actions lest it em-
bark on a policy of anti-Israel
violence as a way out Of the
political impasse in whidh it
finds itself. •
British Labor Deputy
Criticizes Government Action
LONDON—(JTA)—The British

government is in close contact'

with the United States and
France — co-signatories of the
Tripartite Declaration of 1950—
on the Egyptian arms situation
and other aspects of the Middle
East problem, Anthony Nutting,
Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs, told Commons.
Mr. Nutting rejected criticism
by Sidney Silverman, Laborite
M. P., of a statement by the
Foreign Office condemning
Israel for the raid on four
Syrian outposts in the Lake
Tiberias area. Mr. Silverman
hit the Foreign Office's "pre-
judging of the merits of every
frontier, incident before t h e
United Nations (truce super-
vision) commission could have
time to investigate it or make
a proper official report."

In his first statement on
foreign affairs since his eled-
tion as leader of the Lab-or
Party, Hugh paitskell sharply
criticized t h e British govern-
ment's policy in relation to
the Middle East and charged
that Prime Minister Sir An-
thony Eden, in his speech of
Nov. 9, had created the im-
pression that he was pro-
Arab and therefore had dis-
qualified himself as a media-
tor between the Arab states
and Israel.

Four Israeli soldiers and one
Egyptian were killed recently in
a new battle along the Gaza

patches received here f r o m

Israelis Resume Fishing
Despite Syrian Tenseness
The Jewish Telegraphic
Agency reported from Tel Aviv
on Tuesday that while .the
situation on the Israel-Syrian
border remains tense, Israeli
fishermen have resumed their
fishing along the eastern bank
of Lake Tiberias and were not
disturbed by the Syrians.
Two of a group of infiltra-
tors from Egypt, who were
caught by the Israelis with
13,000 rouhds of nine-milimeter
ammunition, were identified as
former residents of- Jaffa.
Israel's 'Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion, addressing a Mapai
conference, said "Israel has not
faced such a severe situation
since the War of Liberation."
A JTA report from London
revealed that two Egyptian
ships sailed from the Belgian
port of Antwerp with 12 Valen-
tine tanks, 10 Sherman tanks,
26 jeeps and five armored cars,
imported from British scrap
dealers. Thus, Britain is believed
to have found a loophole for
the sale of military supplies—
through Belgium.

Syria Asks Israel's Expulsion
At the United Nations
At the United Nations, Syria
demanded Israel's expulsion
from the UN.
In his reply to Syrian
charges and to condemnations
by other nations of Israel's at-
tack on Syria last week, Israel
Ambassador Abba Eban said
that Israel intends to catty out
all armistice obligations, but "on
the understanding that the other
side also is prepared to observe
such a policy."
