"Nonetheless any settle-

States in some way or other,
for nothing short of this would
enable Israel to feel secure,"
the report said. It observed
that generally speaking, pros-

brighter than they have been
but this remains a modest
encouragement.

ern conflict," hte report said.
The survey found that "the
greatest uncertainty lay in
the Israeli position, following
the recent general elections,"
but observed that "if Israel
came to place greater trust
in the efficiency of the UN
forces, she would - see her
only real guarantee being
provided by the United States
. . . and essential element
would obviously be American
willingness to ensure that the
balance of arms in the Middle
East was not tipped against
Israel." The report stated
that an American-Israel al-
liance has been informally
discussed "but prospects of
sources and streams of the
Jordan River leading into
Lake Kineret. Supposedly
demilitarized zones along the
major part of the border
were continuously the cause
for struggles.
The Syrian army was the
only one of the Arab forces
that in 1948 succeeded in
holding on to territories origi-
nally apportioned to the state
of Israel by the UN Partition
Plan. For these territories,
Ralph Bunche, the UN me-
diator, suggested a compro-
mise between Israel's de-
mand for the complete with-
drawal of Syrian forces and
Syria's demand to keep the
entire area.
This compromise called for
demilitarized zones to be
evacuated by the Syrians but
with normal civilian, life
maintained.
Among matters under dis-
pute have been the right of
Israeli farmers to cultivate
land w h i c h, the Syrians
claimed, belonged to them;
fishing rights in Lake Kin-
eret; development projects,
such as the drainage of Lake
Hula in 1951; and later the
digging of a canal in connec-
tion with the plan for the
Jordan-Negev Water Carrier.

assurance of full external

sides critically dependent on
outside supplies for the cam-

afterwards. This dependence
has given the Soviet Union

heavy mortgage on their
