Canadians Assail 'Massive Outrage

(Related Stories Page 34)
OTTAWA (JTA)—Mitchell Sharp,
secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, Tuesday voiced the anger of
the Canadian government and peo-
ple at the latest "massive outrage
of air piracy" by Arab terrorists
which has brought the lives of
"hundreds of innocent noninvolved
people into danger and caused
them unnecessary suffering and
distress."
Sharp said "criminal" acts of
this kind which menace the se-
curity of air travel everywhere are
of "vital concern to Canada" and
a "direct threat to the safety of
Canadians" who are among the
world's most extensive travelers.
He said Canada was deeply in-
volved in the "initiatives" taking
place in the UN and particularly
in the International Civilization
Organization where "we have been
playing an active part."
Sharp said C3nada was pur-
suing as a matter of the "utmost
urgency" the search for a solu-
tion to the problems posed by air
piracy and air sabotage. He said
"effective international agree-
ment to end these dangerous and
cowardly acts is essential, as is
effective international coopera-
tion to help the national govern-
ments involved to deal with acts
of this kind."
In Montreal, Shimon Peres, Is-
rael's transport minister, said Wed-
nesday that if nations in which
Arab guerrillas had been tried and
jailed were "lenient" with them
and release them as the Greek
government did, "we will invite
such actions to be repeated every-
where."
Speaking at a press conference,
he said that all governments should
adopt a policy of resistance to
aerial hijackings.
The transport minister said the
governments of Egypt and Jordan
must be held responsible because
they supported the actions of the
hijackers. He also said the govern-
ment on whose territory a hijacked
plane lands must be held respon-
sible for the fate of the plane and
its passengers.
He asserted that the United
States and other Western govern-
ments had underrated the authority
of the Jordanian government and
the Jordanian army in dealing
with such actions.
Peres cited the developments
on the El Al plane, in which a
hijack attempt was foiled as an
example of a more effective way
to deal with such actions, as con-
trasted with yielding without
protest to hijacker demands. Ile
insisted that such control could
be exercised without endanger-
ing the lives of passengers and
crews.
He came to Montreal to meet
with officials of the 1970-71 United
Jewish Appeal campaign of the Al-
lied Jewish Community Services
and left for New York Wednesday
night.
He said that any difference be-
tween the United States and Israel
on the Egyptian violation of the
standstill cease fire had been re-
solved by photographic evidence.
Asked what he thought would hap-
pen if there was a complete col-
lapse of the current U. S.-initiated

JDC Budget Parley
in N.Y. Oct. 12-13

NEW YORK — The annual pro-
gram and budget review of the
Joint Distribution Committee will
take place here this year, it was
announced by Samuel L. Haber,
JDC executive vice-chairman.
The conference, which will take
place on Oct. 12-13 at the Bilt-
more Hotel, will include reports
by Geneva headquarters consult-
ants and country directors on JDC
programs in Israe 1, Eastern
Europe, Western Europe, the Mid-
dle East and North Africa, Haber
said. The overseas programs are
supervised by Louis D. Horwitz,
director general of JDC's Geneva
headquarters, he said.

peace talks, he said "Diplomacy is
not the only means in international
relations. Meeting force with force
sometimes becomes necessary."
In Paris to attend the funeral
of the late Gen. Pierre Koenig who
headed the France-Israel Friend-
ship Alliance, Peres said that his
government would never negotiate
with the Palestinian terrorists who
hijacked the airliners. Minister of
Transport Shimon Peres said, how-
ever, that Israel might negotiate
for the release of Israeli hostages
with "involved Arab governments."
He said Israel rejected any con-
tact with the terrorists "just as the
United States government could not
consider negotiating with an armed
group such as the Mafia within
the U. S. A."
U. S., UN Officials Express
Cautious Optimism That
Peace Talks Will Continue
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Despite
Israel's decision to withdraw from
the peace talks under the auspices
of Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring,
U. S. officials here have taken the
view that the peace talks are far
from hopeless and that Israel's
withdrawal meant only delay rather
than a termination.
Officials here and at United Na-
tions headquarters in New York
were of the opinion that the talks
would be resumed at the minis-
terial level when the foreign min-
isters of Israel and the Arab states
arrive in New York beginning
Tuesday for the opening of the 25th
session of the General Assembly.
Spokesmen for the administration
and the UN based their cautious
optimism that the talks would re-
sume on the fact that Israel also
declared it would continue to honor
the cease-fire truce.
According to sources here, the
U. S. would undertake a diploma-
tic effort to ensure that the peace
talks do not break down entirely.
There are tentative plans for
Secretary of State William P.
Rogers to confer with Israeli For-
eign Minister Abba Eban, Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy-
ko, Egyptian Foreign Minister
Mahmoud Riad and Jordanian
Foreign Minister Anton Atalla
when they arrive for the open-
ing of the General Assembly.
(During a meeting last Friday in
Cairo with the senior American
diplomat, Donald C. Bergus • Riad
categorically denied Israeli charges
of standstill violations.)
Diplomatic sources noted too that
consultations may also take place
between the U. S. and Israel later
this month when Israeli Premier
Golda Meir visits the United States
where she is to address the Con-
ference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations in
New York Sept. 20.
It is considered likely that Mrs.
Meir will confer with President
Nixon when she returns to the U. S.
again some time in October.
Informed sources said that the
administration was unable to get
assurances during discussions last
week with Egyptian and Soviet of-
ficials in Cairo and Moscow that
truce violations would halt.
Israel lodged Monday her 11th
complaint with the UN Truce Su-
pervision Organization ( UNTSO ).
State Department spokesman Rob-
ert McCloskey said on Friday that
U. S. diplomats were "seeking
rectification" in Cairo and Moscow
but refused to explain what he
meant by "rectification."
Other U. S. officials stated their
efforts at "rectification" of the
standstill violations was a "con-
tinuing matter." UN Secretary
General U Thant said on Saturday -
that the Egyptian violations of the
cease fire and standstill charged
by Israel and confirmed by the
United States were not a "valid
reason" to delay the Mid East
peace talks. He said there were
two aspects of the problem, "the
alleged violation" and "the talks
with Dr. Jarring."
Thant had been asked for com-
ment on Israel's reported insis-
tence that Egypt draw back the
missiles installed since the start

of the cease fire on Aug. 7 before
the Jarring talks were resumed.
Israel's Withdrawal From Talks
Seen as Shift in Priorities;
Will Adhere to Truce
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's
withdrawal from the Jarring peace
talks Sunday represented an im-
portant shift in priorities from
negotiations to rectification of
Egyptian cease-fire violations, the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency learn-
ed.
According to a highly knowledg-
able source the government not
only has no intention of resuming
talks at the United Nations in New
York under present conditions but
will insist on the removal of all
Egyptian missiles from the stand-
still cease-fire zone even if the
talks are called off entirely.
If the United States government
fails to induce the Egyptians and
Russians to pull back the missiles,
Israel is prepared to act by other
means, the source said.
The JTA learned that the gov-
ernment was considering a major
military action to destroy Egyp-
tian advance missile bases in the
Suez Canal zone shortly before the
cease fire went into effect. But the
U. S. learned of the plan and
brought strong pressure to bear on
Israel to abandon it.
Israel then accepted the cease
fire on specific assurances from
President Nixon that he would
not tolerate any change in the
military status quo in the area.
Mr. Nixon also was reported to
have advised Israel that the U. S.
would allow it to take action if
the military freeze was violated.
Withdrawal from the truce talks
does not mean that Israel has
abrogated the 90-day cease-fire
that went into effect Aug. 7 or
that it has rescinded its acceptance
of the American peace initiative.
This was made clear in Sunday's
announcement of the cabinet's de-
cision.
But government spokesman
Michael Arnon said "As long as
the standstill cease-fire is not re-
stored, Israel cannot participate in
the talks." He added that Israel s
acceptance of the American peace
initiative and the appointment of
a representative to the Jarring
talks continue to be valid."
Premier Golda Meir said much
the same thing in a television inter-
view Sept, 6. She said her govern-
ment's initial endorsement of the
peace moves remains unchanged
but Israel is not ready to continue
the Jarring talks as the other side
persists in violating the cease fire.
Asked what Israel expected the
United States to do. Mrs. Meir re-
plied, "The U. S. says they have

Friday, September 11, 1970-35

been in touch with the Russians
and Egyptians to rectify the situa-
tion. We want them to continue to
apply pressure because we can-
not be asked to carry on while the
other side acts so that if the shoot-
ing starts again we will be in a
much worse situation than before
the cease fire."

One of the disadvantages of wine
is that it makes a man mistake
words for thoughts.—Samuel John-
son.

Asked about possible American

pressure on Israel, Mrs. Meir
said, "There's been pressure on
Israel since the state was estab-
lished. That is how policy is
made. One side exerts pressure
while the other side must have
the strength to stand up against
such pressure."

Amon said in reply to a question
Monday that the government has
not changed the appointment of its
UN Ambassador, Yosef Tekoah, as
Foreign Minister Eban's alternate
in the Jarring talks.
