The mood of the General As- sembly is anti - Western, The West still is yesterday's colonial master; the U.S. now is seen as the modern successor of the old imperialists, controlling not through colonial administrators, but by owning half the world's wealth, being the world's noney lender who protects his inter- ests by buying governments; so at least the Afro-Asians think Canada and Britain, inci- dentally, are satellites of the U.S. for the world's poor, and Israel is considered an outpost of white Western influence, much like Rhodesia. The cards are thus stacked against Israel, the U.S., Britain and Canada. Admittedly, Rus- sia did not help the Arabs mili- tarily, but she has begun mak- ing the point that by showing moderation she saved mankind from a world war. «fa She can win a propaganda victory that will refurbish her image among the Arabs, espe- cially since they have no one else to turn to. The near cer- tainty of a Russian victory in the U.N. and therefore of an Israeli defeat may be one rea- son why Moshe Dayan's politi- cal rivals are letting him lead ca eaty's delegation at the There is nothing the U.S. can do to avoid defeat if the battle is fought exclusively in the propaganda field, But this need not be the only field. Kosygin and the rest of Russia's present leaders have shown they are serious-inded men, little inter- ested in the evangelistic propa- gation of the Communist faith. For so long as they are in a contest with the U.S. they wiil fight for diplomatic and propa- ganda advantage. Buf~they ran what now is a bourgeios society that prefers law and order; they do not want, however, the U.S. to be the exclusive guard- jan of this global law. They want the world run on the basis of a Russo-American understanding, in which the two superpowers would combine to deny nuclear weapons to other, for instance, combine to keep waterways open to navigation: hence the June 14 Russian sug- gestion that Suez should come unde': international control, pro- vided the Americans sur. rendered the Panama canal to international control. President Johnson's reaction to the Prospect of meeting Kos- ygin has been to sqirm visibly. The U.S. president knows the Russians want to establish an understanding on all world mats ters, but he cannot as yet face the implications of this for the American domestic polifi- cal scene. He cannot, in effect, say to his Congress: "The Rus- sians will drop the Arabs and join us in guaranteeing Israel and we'll pull out of Vietnam 'trusting the Russians to see Ha Chi Minh does not become a Chinese puppet." | PM To Attend = UN Session If Can Help' 4 WEEKEND DECISION OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson told the Commons Friday he will make a decision this weekend whether to attend the emergency meeting of the United Nations General As- sembly that is to deal with the continuing Middle East crisis.

" oman NICOSIA, Cyprus (CP)--Only now are some of the bloody de- tails becoming available about the Israeli Army attack on members of the ist Sikh Light Infantry, the Indian contingent in the. United Nations Emer- gency Force in Egypt. There is mounting fury among members of the United Nations force in Cyprus about what hap- pened to the Sikhs to the point that some officers say Israel should be expelled from the UN, The Indian contingent suf- fered 14 killed and 24 wounded from Israeli fire before it could be evacuated from Egypt to Cy- prus. Some of the wounded are still in the UN field hospital here. There is also resentment here that UN headquarters in New ( Tu York has not published the de- ' tails of the fate which befell the Indians in and near the Gaza Strip. CASUALTIES HEAVY Indian officers say the Sikh battalion suffered more casual- ties as non-combatants in Egypt than it did in its bloodiest en- gagement in the 1965 India- Pakistan war. They relate these details: An Indian convoy was en route from Camp Rafah to Gaza fly- ing the UN flag from each jeep and truck. The Sikhs could not be mistaken for anybody else because they were wearing their distinctive turbans. As usual the convoy met an Israeli tank column on the road. It pulled over to the side of the road and stopped to let the Is- Mn raelis pass. Three Israeli tanks went by. The fourth tank stopped, swiv- elled its turret on the convoy and opened fire from a range of only a few feet. The Israeli tank rammed its gun through the windshield of an Indian jeep and decapitated the two men inside. When other Indians went to the assistance of their stricken comrades they were mowed down by gun fire. Another Israeli tank thrust its gun into a UN truck, lifted it up and smashed it down on the ground killing or wounding the occupants. HEADQUARTERS HIT Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli tanks put six rounds into the UN headquarters which was fly- agente mettre mu ing the UN flag. Three more Indian soldiers were killed. One Indian officer said it was deliberate cold-blooded killing of unarmed UN soldiers. He said the Israelis knew. ex- actly where each and every UN camp was situated and had de- liberately shelled some of them. The Indians had taken over most of the duties which had been performed by the Cana- dian contingent in UNEF before it was ordered out of Egypt by President Nasser. One Canadian officer said that when all details come out about the treatment given UNEF--by the Egyptians as well as the Israelis--he doubts that the Ca- nadian public would stand for Canadian participation ever again in any peacekeeping op- eration in the Middle East. a nye nes NEU ONE Session Begins UNITED NATIONS (CP) ~~ principles of the same charter, The United Nations General As-|as are the major powers, who sembly started an emergency|as privileged members of our session on the Middle East cri-|organization have special sis today with Soviet Premier Alexei N.
