Robert R. Nathan, one-time dep-
ity director of the U.S. Office of
War Mobilization, economic advis-
r to Israel and France and cur-
rent adviser on economic affairs,
told the 2,000 delegates attending
the convention that the "greatest
contribution to a sound and con-
tinuing peace in the Middle East
would result from the development
of trade and other economic rela-
tionships between Israel and the
Arab countries.
"When nations are making pro-
gress and people's opportunities
for rising living standards are
favorable, it is more likely that
they will concern themselves with
constructive achievements rather
than with hostility and war," he
added.
"Israel has the talent and skills
and by now the experience of
dealing with the environment and
the resources in the Middle East
which are readily transferable.
Therefore, it is entirely realistic
to expect prompt and major de-
velopments in the Arab countries
under peaceful and normal rela-
tions in that region."

pressed fear that peace "may be

Kenen praised the change in

about with the Six-Day War, but
he noted that there were "many
disagreements between Israel and
the United States, with the U.S.
