Nixon Tells UN Arabs Must Accept
Irrevocable Commitment for Peace
UNITED NATIONS (WUP)
Declaring that the “UN cease-fir.
resolutions define the minimal
conditions that must prevail on
the ground if settlement is to be
achieved,’ - President Richard M.
Nixon warned the Arabs and their
friends here during his inspiring
address Sept. 18 that “peace
cann it b; achieved on the basis
of anything less than a binding,
irrevocable commitment ... to
live together” with Israel “in
peace.”
Although he mentioned no
names, referring only to the
‘■parties,” it was clear to all ob
servers toat the plea was made to
the Arabs, since it is well known
that Israel alone has continuously
held the door open for a settle
ment through direct negotiations.
President Nixon also told the
jammed-to-the-doors Assembly
that “a peace, to be lasting, must
leave no seeds of a future war.
It must rest on a settlement,” he
stressed, "which both sides have
a vested interest in maintain
ing.”
He then added: “We seek a set
tlement based on respect for the
sovereign right of each nation to
exist within secure and recogniz
ed boundaries. - ’ The on'y sentence
in his whole speech which was
not altogether pleasing to the Is
raeli delegation followed this
statement and preceded the pleas
for a “binding commitment.” It
read: “We are convinced that
peace cannot be achieved cn the
basis of substantial alterations in
the map of the MiddLe East.’ -
Howcver, the President’s gen
eral reference to the Mideast and
his later condemnation of hijack
ings, terming them “morally, pol-
iUcally, and legally indefensible,”
came as a bitter pill to many of
the Arabs here, some of whom
shrugged their shoulders in dis
appointment.
Throughout his speech—stress
ing the impartial role of the
United States in the world as a
cor per.it or for economic develop
ment .and a defender of demo
crat :c institutions — Mr. Nixon
put special stress upon the his
toric nsp-'ct of the new space age
in which all mankind is enter
ing.
“We have entered a new age,”
he stated, "‘different not only in
degree Hit in kind from any that
has gone before.
"For the first time ever,” he
said, “we have become a single
world community.
“For the first time ever, we
have seen the staggering fury of
the power of the universe un
leashed, and we know that we
hold that power in precarious
harness. For the first time ever,

General Assembly offering hope
