Golda Meir Calls Russia Instigator of 6-Day
LONDON (JTA)—Premier Golda
Meir, who once served as Israel's
ambassador to Moscow, lashed out
at Soviet Russia Sunday as the in-
stigator of the Six-Day War whose
weapons killed Israeli soldiers dur-
ing that conflict and are still killing
them two years later. Mrs. Meir
left for home Tuesday after a six-
day unofficial visit.
Her indictment of the Soviet Un-
ion was made in the course of a
speech in which she explained why
Israel opposed the Four Power
talks on the Middle East and was
prepared to discuss diplomatic dif-
ferences with friendly powers even
if Israel's image abroad suffered
as a consequence.
"Russia is among the Four Pow-
ers," she said, "and it is common
knowledge that the Six-Day War
would not have happened but for
Russia. Every Israeli boy that was
killed in the war was killed with
Russian weapons and every Israeli
boy that is killed now is killed with
Russian weapons. We do not accept

as Mrs. Meir summed it up at
Suez Canal was as threatening as
her final press conference: "It some Brittsh newspapers described
was an argument between friends.
and I feel that we understand
each other's positions better after
my visit."
The Israeli leader's differences
with Premier Harold Wilson and
Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart
concerned the Four-Power Mid
East talks currently going on in
New York which Britain fully sup-
ports and Israel bitterly opposes.
She conferred with Wilson several
times and he and Stewart met with
her for a--final talk Tuesday.
Mrs. Meir attempted during her
stay to explain Israel's attitude on
the Big Four talks at every forum
she addressed. These included the
Foreign Press Association, the
Royal Institute on Foreign Affairs,
speeches before the Board of Depu-
ties of British Jews, the Zionist
Federation of Great Britain and
the 11th congress of the Socialist
International at Eastbourne. At-
tendance at the congress was the
reason for her visit to England.
Mrs. Meir maintained that Big
Powers had no moral right to im-
pose settelments on smaller pow-
ers, that Israel and the Arab states
must be allowed to resolve their
dispute through negotiations with
each other and that Israel would
never accept a settlement to which
Soviet Russia was a party.
Mrs. :Weir charged on several
occasions that the Soviet Union
was responsible for the Arab-Is-
rael war and that Moscow's Mid
East policy was, in effect, dic-
tated by Cairo.
She said at her final press con
ference that she did not believe
Russia would accept anything
which the Arabs did not accept.
it.
Wilson declared in his address
that "Britain has no intention of
helping to impose a solution in the
Middle East" and that "no lasting
settlement was possible without
clear and effective guarantees of
Israel's security." Mrs. Meir indi-
cated that she was not impressed
with Wilson's views and proceeded
to list the failure of international
guarantees to keep the peace in the
past. "There was," Mrs. Meir
claimed, "complete paralysis and
failure on the part of the UN two
years ago (Before the 1967 war).
We had UN observers and UN
forces on the spot but they were
not able to prevent war. We now
insist on secure, recognized and
agreed boundaries. We want no
more wars, even though we know
we can win again," Mrs. Meir said.
The Israeli premier, however,
joined Wilson in extending congrat-
ulations and expressions of good
will to president-elect George Pom-
pidou of France. She said she
hoped to see a change in French
Middle East policy.
In an address to the Foreign
Press Association here. Mrs. Meir
dismissed Big Four and American-
Soviet efforts to find a Middle East
settlement as making no contribu-
tion to peace because they only
shifted the burden from Arab shoul-
ders. She rejected the argument
that the Arab states have accepted
the UN Security Council's Nov. 22,
1967 Mid East resolution as the
basis for a settlement. She said
President Nasser accepted only the
Arab interpretation which was un-

firm assurances that peace would
follow.
At this and other forums, Mrs..
Meier reiterated Isrel's fear that
the Four Powers were preparing to
impose a settlement inimical to
Israel's security. She said Israel
suspected that the U.S. might he
maneuvered into agreeing to con-
cessions at Israel's expense in re-
turn for Soviet moves in Vietnam
and strategic arms limitation. Mrs.
Meir said Britain was a friend of
both Israel and the Arab states but
there was no acrimony between
London and Jerusalem.
Mrs. Meir met British opposition
leaders and addressed the Foreign
Press Association, the Royal Insti-
tute of International Affairs and a
gathering of Jewish youth at the
headquarters of the Poale Zion
youth movement. She conferred
with Foreign Secretary Michael
Stewart and with Jeremy Thorpe,
leader of the Liberal Party, and
was the luncheon guest of Lord
Thomson of Fleet, owner and man-
ager of the Times of London. Her
meetings were with Conservative
party leader Edward Heath and Sir
Alec Douglas Home, former Con-

WHAT ARE BELTED TIRES ...
AND DO YOU NEED THEM?
The family of belted tires consists of two types: A) the
Bias (criss-cross) ply with a belt; B) the Radial Ply (ply
structure radiating out from the center of the tire) with
a belt. In both cases the belt runs all the way around the
tire, the width of the tread. This tends to brace the tread
by adding a distortion-free "foundation" to the tread,
forcing the tire to roll "rounder" (and hence, more effici-
ently,) roll longer for better mileage, stop quicker, and
respond faster.
Both tires retain the elastic performance of the 2-ply
sidewall, yet possess a puncture resistant 4-ply tread area.
So, if you spend 50% or more of your time on high speed
roads, the slight extra cost can be justified by the in-
creased mileage, handling and safety.
