Report From Ottawa Russell C. Iloney, M.P., Durham Concern over the LSraeli-Egyp. tian dispute la centered around the rilght of Passage tbrough the Gulf ýof Aqaba by Israeli shipping. The rigl t e u9e this waterway is essential te. îsraol bo e il r~~ resents the economie lifeline of that country. If the present con- frnainin the Middile- East flares Ïnto) war it will probably betrged by Egypt's blockade Of the Gulf of Aqaba. Unless the United -Nations can intervéne ef- fed tively it wili hboenecess'ary, soener or lnter, for 1s.rael te send a ship tibrough, the Gulf. This nec- esçsity would be, dictated by ecen- 0-rie dircumsitances insofar as Is- mcil is cencerned. This action wofld, kneck the cbip off Egypt's shiouldeýr andi we weuld then, know wbether or net Nasser is bluffing. The principle of "frece and in- nocent paSs,ýage" as, it is known in international law was 'established la the Gulf of Aqaba la 1957 as part of the Unitedi Nation's settie- ment of that Is9raeli.Egyptian con- fiet. Wbea Nasser again. block- aded the waterway a couple of weeks ago he violated, the 1957 agreement worked out hy the United Nations and he recreated oneof the conditions which led tto the, eonflict o)f 1956. The Gulf of Aqaba is of import- ance to the commerce and s,ýhip- piny of Jordian asý well as Israel. It ia bounded by the .territory cof four countries, Israel, Jo.rdan, Saudi Arabin and, Egypt. There n he little doub.t that the Gulf ,in part of the sens where the prin- ciple of the freedom of maritime communications applies. This week U Thant, Secretnry- General, Of the Unitèd Nations, wamned that the crisis i-s at "eox- plosive level"' borderîng on al eut war. He stated that,,a clash over s-hippiag rights la tdhe Gýuif 6f Aqaba could plunge the whole area into a general confliet. Ia rePOrtitng 'te the UitdNa- tions Secuirity Council, U Thant called for a"b-thg speli" te alow tension to subfside. Canada strongly suipports U Thant la his attempt te revive the EgypiL, -J' raou Mixéd As-mistiec Comimis- sion (EIMAC) which would ýre- estabffish a UTnited Nations, "pres- ence" in the arlea. EIMAC was fôrmned te super- vise the 1949, armnistiçe agreement which ended the. war which fol- îowed the partition ef Palestine. Thiq week, U Thant defended bis swift action, la immediately withdrawing the .,United,,Nations peace forces a week or 'se ago wben Nasser made the demand. He stressed that the force was statioaed on the, territory of the United Arab Republie only. 1srael had nover agreed te the establish- ment of an United Nations- force on its tesritory. The Sect etary- General went on te, say' that 1lg-, ally, under- the terao on which Nasser nllowed the Unitked Na-, tiow, force into Arab. territory, the UJnîted Nations wns legally comimihted te withdraw immediat. ely whea requested to, do s0 by Nassyer. ITa the last week ýor se of crisis Prime Minister Pearsean and Ex- temnal Affairs Minister Paul Mar- tin -have both strongly supported U Thant's efforts te, establish an- other- tnited Nations force in the trou'bied area. Whetiher this he a revitalized EIMJAC or a newly were allowed to drive over the track under supervision. Some 117 cars took part in this feature of the tour.

These ap- pies were supplied by grewers la the area and donated threugh the Durham Growers,' Celti Storage la Newcastle, Amateur Contest To Holýi created force is net tee important. It is important, howeve-, that this new United Nations "presencel" be e.5tablîàhe d on Isiraeli as well as Arab terrÉtory, and that it, be secured. by fixed tenure 'f some sert se that it will net have te be withdrawa at'the whim of one, or tho other of the cembatants Model As To Meet In Orono Sundays The fourth annuai Model WA me:et will býe held la the Orono Community Park on Sunday, June lîhh.
