Begin on
Israeli Future

NEW YORK — In a re-
cent television interview,
Prime Minister Menahem
Begin was asked how he
saw Israel 50 years from
now.
"There is room for an-
other five or six million
people in our country," the
Israeli prime minister said.
"And so, I believe it will be.
"In a much shorter time,
eight or nine years, we shall
have one of Herzl's visions
brought into realization;
the canal which will join the
Mediterranean and the
Dead Sea and create electric
energy.
"But mainly I do believe,
and hope, that there will be
peace with all our
neighbors, because our
people in this are absolutely
unique; we've never had one
day of peace. What I strive
for as long as I live and as
long as I can help my people
being prime minister is that
our people have peace for an
historic period of time."
