New U.S. Moves Predicted to Solve M. E. Issues

(Continued from Page 1)
remarks which included a re-
affirmation that the U.S.
"will be active in ascertain.
Ing if and how we can help
the parties initiate a general
negotiating process."
The Israeli diplomat was not
optimistic, however, about
the possibility of peace in the
Middle East which he re-
ferred to as "a small light
at the end of a very long
tunnel." He drew resounding
applause when he declared:
"There Is no need for Israel
to withdraw from the cease-
fire lines." Rabin stressed
that Israel's top priority is
to remain militarily strong
enough "not to be pushed
from the cease-fire lines by
force."
He spoke very warmly
about America's relationship
with Israel, noting that over
the past four years the U.S.
has supplied
$1,200,000,000
in arms, mostly on a
credit basis. He called for
further assistance from the
U.S. to "help ensure the bur-
den of defense" which he
said consumes 25 per cent
of Israel's gross national
product, or proportionately
354 times that in the
U.S. Rabin declared himself
in favor of what he called a
"growing understanding" in
Washington "that it is in the
interest of the United States
to let smaller countries take
care of themselves by them-
selves."
Predicting that American

interest will now be turned
toward the Middle East, Jo-
seph C. Harsch, chief politi-
cal and foreign news analyst
of the Christian Science Mon-
itor, stated that in addition to
the end of the Vietnam War,
which now will open an ave-
nue for action on the Arab-
Israel issue, a second event

that will contribute toward
such pressures for action

from the administration is:
"A serious and dangerous
shortage of fuel in the colder
parts of the United States

has made Congress and the
White House more aware of
the rising American need for
fuel imports. This in turn
means rising thought about
the Mate of American rela-
tions with the Arab countries

of the Middle East, which

"One difference is going to
be that Washington will be
leaning on Israel to start
thinking in terms of a com-
promise settlement with the
Arab neighbors.
"Another difference will be
that Washington is going to
be reaching for a true recon-
ciliation with the Arab gov-
ernments, which is more and
more needed if Russia is not
to obtain effective control
over much of the oil of the
Persian Gulf and, indeed, of
the whole Middle East.
"None of this means that
Washington will in any way
withdraw its guarantee of
Israel's military security. The
Israeli armed forces are
backed by the American Sixth
Fleet. Both are under the
American nuclear umbrella.
And Washington will continue
to provide Israel with enough
weapons to keep up its domi-
nant position in its area.

Eban said on Wednesday
that the lesson of the Vietnam
cease fire—the power of pa-
tient negotiation—should be
learned by Egypt which dur-
ing the last five years had
tried every method except
negotiation to end the Middle
East conflict. He made his
remarks during the course of
a lengthy foreign policy state-
ment to the Knesset in which
he said that Israel received
"with boundless joy" Presi-
dent Mixon's and Hanoi's an-
nouncement Tuesday night
that a Vietnam cease fire
would be signed on Saturday.

Eban told the Knesset that
Israel felt friendship and re-
spect for all the people of
Vietnam. "On Saturday, for
the first time in our genera-
tion, no cannon would roar
and no bomb explode
throughout the world," he
said. He announced that Is-
rael would soon open an em-
bassy in Saigon and that it
had "found a way of telling
Nor th Vietnam" that it
wished for diplomatic rela-
tions with Hanoi as well.

Eban said that Egypt had
eschewed negotiation while

trying to resolve the Middle
East conflict through military

force, terrorism and efforts
to bring outside pressure on
Israel. He said he thought
that a partial Suez Canal

settlement was still the like-
liest path to peace and noted
