14-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 13, 1979 editoriol (From page 4) promise, and just as predictably the Arab world is threatening Canada with an economic boycott if the embassy is moved. In the face of the Arab pressure it now looks like Clark is waffling on the promise, saying that while the embassy will be moved, there is no timetable as to when. There are two things disturbing to Canadians about this whole issue: the first is that Clark would make such a definitive statement obviously without exploring fully the possible consequences. The second is that Canada now appears to be in the uncomfortable position of having to back down in the face of economic pressure from the Arab world. Is the foreign policy of this nation being decided on the basis of economic expediency? While the merits of the issue are certainly open for debate, there is also a principle involved here, a principle that says Canada should not yield to any country or group of countries under threat of economic sanc- tions that are nothing more than blackmail. Mr. Clark faces a dilemma that offers few options, none of them very satisfactory for Canada. If he backs down now in the face of threats, Canada will lose a lot of face. If he backs out on the grounds that moving the embassy was not a good idea in the first place, it will be a slap in the face of Israel. And if he goes ahead and moves the embassy in the near future as promised, Canada may very well upset the apples in the Middle East peace cart, if such a thing exists. - Faced with these options, it is likely he wiil take the easy way out by doing nothing and saying nothing. The embassy will stay where it is for the forseeable future. That may ruffle a few feathers but at least save somebody's neck. It is not a very auspicious start to a new administration in Canada. After all, the Tories did campaign as a credible alternative to the bungling Liberals.
