Public pronouncements
by a PLO official in London
recently, which had been
repeated in private conver-
sations, showed that the
PLO still maintains the ul-
timate goal of a "secular
democratic state" in Pales-
tine. But, according to
Hurd, it is prepared to ac-
cept a small state now in the
West Bank and Gaza "and
then to pursue the rest of its
objectives by political
means."

The British Minister
stressed that his govern-

:
ment did not "endorse
those objectives," and he
added that if he were an
Israeli he would be "very
cautious." Hurd said
Britain supported the
Camp David process.
Hurd was queried here
about the impending major
British tanks sale to Jordan
— and he defended the sale
on the grounds that sup-

and believed it ought to be
tested and encouraged.
But Hurd apparently
failed to persuade Premier
Menahem Begin of the
validity of this assessment.
Begin, in a public state-
ment, referred to the British
view as "an optical illusion"
and asserted that the PLO
had not changed its aims or
its methods.
Hurd told the press, at the
end of his visit, that the
"evolution" within the PLO
was towards a more politi-
cal, more diplomatic ap-
proach." He said the British
government had "occa-
sional contacts with the
PLO on the level of offi•ials
and odd social contact. But
there are no substantive
discussions at the ministe-
rial level."

week from London that
Britain's Deputy Foreign
Minister Sir Ian Gilmour
and PLO foreign minister
Farouk Kaddumi met
briefly Dec. 5 in what the
Foreign Office described
as an "unscheduled
encounter" at the Syrian
Embassy. It was the first
