that "this congress cannot

The MacEachen state-

the refusal of the Ontario
provincial government to
serve as host for the con-
clave.

during the fourth congress
in Kyoto, Japan, in 1970, the
Canadian government, in
consultation with the prov-
ince of Ontario, had pro-
posed Toronto as the site of
the fifth congress and that
the site had been confirmed
by the UN General Assem-
bly. Since that time, he
added, "there has been a
steady deterioration of the
atmosphere in which inter-
national conferences are
held".
Citing the "discord"
which he said had marked
the last General Assembly,
the UN Industrial Develop-
ment Organization, the In-
ternational Labor Organiza-
tion meeting in Geneva, and
the International Women's
Conference in Mexico City,
the Canadian foreign minis-
ter said those meetings had
been marked by "excessive
confrontation on issues that
were not related to the sub-
ject matter of the confer-
ences."
He said the problems
before the UN and its affi-
liated agencies were "real
and difficult" and must be
dealt with "urgently" in
the appropriate interna-
tional institutions "before
they poison the body poli-
tic of the United Nations."
MacEachen also said it
was "necessary and desira-
ble that political factors
take their proper place even
in the most technical of con-
ferences but they must meet
some test of relevance and
in recent UN conferences
this has clearly not been the
case."
He also cited the public

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The U.S. Senate unani-
mously adopted a resolution
last Friday which said if Is-
rael was expelled from the
UN "the Senate will review
all present U.S. committ-
ments to the Third World
nations involved in the ex-
pulsion, and will consider
seriously the implications of
continued membership in
the United Nations under
such circumstances.' "
The resolution was intro-
duced by Senate minority
leader Hugh Scott (R-Pa.).
At the United Nations,
immediately after he pre-
sented his credentials last
week as the new representa-
tive of the United States to
the United Nations, Daniel
P. Moynihan said that the
United States will take "a
vigorous posture" at the UN,
warned of grave consequ-
ences to the UN in case Is-
rael is expelled and indi-
cated that the United
Nations Emergency Force
(UNEF) will remain in the
Sinai.
Speaking at a press con-
ference, Moynihan said that
if the expulsion of Israel
"really happened" it will be
a "blow to this place (the
UN)" and warned that the
commitment of President
Ford to the UN "will be un-
der strong challenge by Con-
gress."

He cited the action by
Congress in withholding
support from UNESCO
after its anti-Israel resolu-
tions. Moynihan said,
however, that the U.S.
will not withdraw its
membership from the UN
if Israel is expelled, but
the U.S. role in the UN
would change.

He said the government
hoped that current negotia-
tions for the reduction of
tensions in the Mideast
He declared that the Can-
adian government "will try
to improve the political situ-
ation in the Middle East and
in the United Nations, nota-
bly through our participa-
tion in the next session of
the General Assembly
which may be crucial for the
future of the organization,
even the fundamental char-
acter of the issues on which
debates are expected to fo-
cus."
He said he had been in-
vited to visit a number of
countries in the Middle East
this fall and that he had ac-
cepted the invitation. He did
not name the inviting coun-
tries.
MacEachen also said
that the Canadian govern-
ment would "resist" any
attempt to exclude Israel
"or any other country"
from the proceedings of
the next General Assem-
bly, which opens in Sep-
tember, adding that this
principal would guarantee
the status of Israel within
the community of nations
and thus remove one cause
of instability in the area.

Hajar, spokesman for th.

He also warned that Can-
ada would jeopardize her ec-
onomic and cultural rela-
tions with the Arab world if
she gives in to "Israeli ag-
gression and Zionist dictato-
rial insolence."

outcry for and against the

this congress, of observers
from the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization, adding
that the government had
been "worried by its devisive
effect upon Canadian public
opinion. We could not ignore
the risk of public disorders."
But he listed two factors
which he said had "domi-
nated discussion of the
problem in the Canadian
cabinet. One, he said, was
"the inevitable intrusion" of
"unrelated political discus-
sions" in the deliberations
of the congress.

Moynihan said that the
U.S. hoped that occasion
will not arise. He noted that
the League of Nations
"came apart piece by piece."
Moynihan observed that the
General Assembly is a rep-
resentative organization
and it can only function in
that model. "You cannot run
the General Assembly with-
out accepting the procedure
of representation," he said.
He explained that a state
cannot be excluded because
it is not liked by others, just
as a Congressman who is
not liked by his peers cannot
be expelled.
Moynihan further argued
that there is nothing more
important to the interest of
nations involved in a conflict
than that all sides be repre-
sented at the UN and be
aware of the other side's
opinion.
Moynihan, stating that
the U.S. will certainly
take "a vigorous posture"
at the UN, quoted Ford
who said that the U.S. will
be looking for a dialogue of
"candor and directness,
understanding and re-
spect."
His words were echoed
Tuesday by former Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk,
testifying in Congress on fu-
ture foreign policy. Rusk
said that if Israel were ex-
pelled, "I think that the
United States should with-
draw from the United Na-
tions."
In Brussels, the European
Economic Community de-
clared its opposition to Is-
rael's exclusion from the
United Nations. The Council
of Ministers of the nine
member states in a commu-
nique stressed its intention
to defend the UN charter
and the rights of member
states.
The communique, which
was reportedly released in
reply to the decision by the
Islamic conference in Saudi
Arabia to press for Israel's
exclusion at the next Gen-
eral Assembly, does not
mention Israel by name.
Diplomatic circles, none-
theless, warned that Israel's
situation, should the Arabs
decide to go ahead with the
decision of the Islamic con-
ference, and press for Is-
rael's expulsion, will be dif-
ficult. They also pointed to
the fact that two of Israel's
former friends, Iran and
Turkey, have voted at the
conference in favor of Is-
rael's expulsion.
In London, a British
government spokesman
said that any move to ex-
pel Israel from the United
Nations would be opposed
by Britain because "it
would seriously damage
the prospects for success-
fully negotiating a settle-
ment of the Arab-Israel
dispute and it would
gravely damage the credi-
bility of the UN."
David Ennals, minister of
state for foreign and com-
monwealth affairs, said it
was of great importance
that the charter of the UN
be respected and its proce-
dures respected as well.
He also explained, in re-
ply to Leslie Huckfield,
chairman of the parliamen-
tary branch of the Labor
Friends of Israel, why the
British delegation to the
recent UN-sponsored Inter-
national Women's Confer-
ence in Mexico City ab-
stained rather than voted
against a resolution equat-
ing Zionism with colonial-
ism and calling for its elimi-
nation.
"On every vote with refer-
ence to Zionism at the Mex-
ico conference, the British
government made their po-
sition clear. It was only in
the final declaration that we
did not support it but we ab-
stained because had we
voted against, we would
have voted against the prin-
cipal contents of the decla-
ration which was concerned
with women's rights," En-
nals said.
He added, "We take a
strong view that it would
be damaging to the UN
interests and contrary to
the spirit of universality of
the UN' for any action to be
taken which would seek to
exclude a member state
and any proposals for the
expulsion or exclusion of
Israel."
Meanwhile, UN Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim
said that he did not believe
Israel would be expelled
from the United Nations,
despite mounting activity in
that direction by Moslem
nations and some of'their
Third World allies.
Questioned on ABC's
"Issues and Answers" televi-
sion program Sunday as to
whether a vote to bar Israel
from participation in the
General Assembly would
effectively expel that coun-
try from the world organi-
zation, Waldheim replied,
"No, I don't think this will
happen."
Waldheim also said he
believed Egypt would agree
to extend the mandate of
the United Nations Emer-
gency Force (UNEF) in
Sinai only if the Security
Council took steps to expe-
dite a further Israeli with-
drawal.
"My personal belief is
that Egypt will only agree
to a prolongation of the
mandate if the Council .
spells out more clearly the
need for a full implementa-
tion of the previous resolu-
tions of the Security Coun-
cil," the Secretary
General said.
Waldheim's remarks im-
plied that what Egypt de-
mands of the Security,
Council is a rider to a reso- -
lution extending the life of
UNEF which would specifi-
cally interpret Resolution
242 as calling for Israel's
withdrawal from "all" occu-
pied Arab territories rather
than from "territories" as
the resolution now states.
