Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thundey, May 25, 1967 ee eat ni - WITHOUT UN, TRAGEDY FEARED BY * pm enter 'Thant May Have Blundered By HENRY HEALD OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson, on the eve of an expected visit by U.S. President Johnson, warned that without United Nations intervention the Middle East crisis could turn into 'a global tragedy." Concluding a two-day Com- mons debate on foreign policy Wednesday, Mr. Pearson said there was a danger of the United States lining up behind one party in the Egyptian-Is- raeli border dispute and the U.S.S.R. lining up behind the other. The only thing that might be able to do a better job than the United Nations would be a con- ference of the four great pow- ers, he said. "If they could work together that would be equally effective --and more effective if they Council in doing it." worked through the Security TOU nu The prime minister urged all nations to move with caution in the Middle East situation; de- fended the principle of interna- tional peacekeeping, and chided critics of Canada's Vietnam pol- icy for suggesting Canada should denounce the United States for being there. The government easily weath- ered two non-confidence votes, one proposed by the Progres- sive Conservatives criticizing the Liberals for not allowing more time for foreign policy de- bates and one proposed by the New Democrats urging the gov- ernment to condemn the United States bombing of North Viet- nam. The NDP sub-amendment was defeated 128 to 34 with the Con- servatives split down the mid- dle. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker and 20 others supported the 13 New Democrats who were in the House for the vote. mye TAI Twenty-nine Tories, three Cred- ftistes, three independents and one Social Crediter voted with the government. The Conservative amendment was defeated 97 to 62 with the 13 NDP members voting with the official Opposition. The prime minister had to di- vide his attention between the threat of war abroad and a farmers' revolt at home. More than 10,000 Eastern Canadian farmers marched on. Parliament Hill demanding a higher milk support price and other conces- sions. Not satisfied by statements made by Agriculture Minister Greene and Rural Development Minister Sauve, about 1,000 of them stormed the Parliament Buildings, swept through a line of RCMP officers and beat on locked doors of the building. Mr. Pearson cited four factors that increased the danger of war in the Middle East: 1. The presence of Egyptian forces at a point that controls the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and thus to Israel's only , port with access to the Indian Ocean. 2. The takeover of the Gaza Strip by the Palestine Libera- tion Army, part of the army of the United Arab Republic. 3. Continued incidents on the Syrian border with. Israel. 4. The temptation of both parties to force a conflict "and get it over with." "If there could be a more explosive situation, I don't know what it is," he said. Members on both sides of the House thumped their desks when he said future peacekeep- ing forces must be given a more _secure basis for carrying out "their duties than that of the UN Emergency Force disbanded PEARSON last week on the demand of U.A.R. President Nasser. He said he had objected at the time to the agreement allowing the U.A.R. to insist on. with- drawal that the then UN secre- tary - general Hammarskjold made with President Nasser. Hammarskjold had to agree to it to "get the forces\on the spot quickly," he said. He outlined the Canadian- Danish resolution presented at the Security Council meeting Wednesday afternoon urging all nations to refrain from provoca- tive acts in the Middle East. In New York, the 15-nation Security Council broke off its emergency meeting without tak- ing any action on the motion. Replying to a question. by Wallace Nesbitt (PC--Oxford) Mr. Pearson said he had his own views on the reasons for the U.A.R. demand for with- drawal of UNEF, but "they are just speculation."

It was learned from other WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. military experts believe Israel's armed forces, although outnum- bered, could defeat the com- bined Arab armies if the big powers stay out. These experts give the Is- raelis an edge over the Arabs because of what was described as superior training and better equipment maintenance. Israel's 300,000 soldiers and airmen stack up against some 400,000 armed men in the Arab states surrounding her, latest es- timates indicate. However, while Israel was said to be able to mobilize and deploy her 300,000 men in a mat- ter of days, the Arab armies are believed able to muster much less than their full strength. Military specialists expect any open war would pit Israel against four Arab countries pri- maily -- Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, all of which im- mediately border on Israel. probable effectiveness on the ground. This is because Iraq has seri- ous problems with rebellious Kursidh tribesmen and the Saudi Arabians are embroiled in the Yemen civil war, where 40,- 000 Egyptian troops also are pinned down on the opposite side of the issue. Some government sources, however, regard as an open question what Arab nations ac- tually might be involved in a war with Israel. Nearly all are sure Egypt would be joined by Syria in such a battle, but some think Saudi.Arabia, Lebanon and Jor- dan--though forced by internal pressures to take a stance for Arab unity -- are too closely aligned with the United States to actually put massive numbers of area in the field against Is- rael, MUSEUM PIECE The Theresa E.

Egypt last week demanded 'the withdrawal of UNEF as iRereisped Arab-Israeli hostility into a warlike crisis. U Theat, UN secretary-general country force to leave, the UN source said. The Canadians are in almost complete isolation in Camp Ra- fah. The Canadian embassy in Cairo has been unable to tele- phone Rafah. Embassy officials are not allowed to visit the camp, about 225 air miles north- west of Cairo. The Egyptians charge Canada is involved in a conspiracy with the United States, Britain and Israel to make UNEF "a colo- nialist force." The charge is based on the Canadian stand that the UNEF withdrawal demand should have been referred to the UN General Assembly and Ottawa's warm now in Cairo, complied.

Canada has invited Nasser to visit during Centennial Year but, despite urgings for a re- ply, none has been received. Egypt's national day at Expo 67 is scheduled for Sept. 11.

Canadian Amb dor John sources that both Yugoslavia and India, allies of the Nasser government, threatened to pull their contingents out of the UN force unless Thant yielded to the Egyptian demands at once. WAS NASSER'S FRIEND Critics of Thant's action, while not willing to identify themselves with such specula- tion, even suggest that his de- cision may have been influenced by his long friendship with Nas- ser. As a Burmese, Thant was active in Asian-African meet- ings before becoming secretary- general. He has had numerous meetings with the Egyptian leader since he became secre- tary-general. Canada and Brazil, with units in the UN force, expressed the belief that he should refer the matter to the General As- vr but they did not press is. UN legal officials have taken the position that, although the assembly authorized the force in 1956, it was the secretary- general who organized it and Starnes suggested in a notice Wednesday to Canadian civil- ians that they consider leaving the agr t to put it on Egyptian soil. This, they Say, placed the responsibility for action in Thant's hands. Egypt. There are about 140 such civilians here.
