Two lectures by G. HEALY in Glasgow Sunday October 25 Sunday November I Partick Burgh Hall nr Merkland St tube A FOREIGN CORRESPONDE SOVIET Foreign Minister Andr came close to accepting the Israeli a negotiated 'peace' treaty in the when he spoke at the United His speech reflected the intense secret diplomatic dealing which has been going on at the UN between the Soviet Union and the United States.

It is now clear that the Soviet Stalinists are prepared to see a Middle-East settlement which would effectively ratify the existence of the Zionist state of Israel and rob the Palestinian people of their birthright.

In his speech to the Assembly of the UN, Gromyko endorsed the conclusion of 'an appropriate document which would be valid in terms of international law within the context of which the sovereignty, territorial integrits and political independence of all states within the Middle East, as well as their right to live in peace, would be respected and recognized'.

CONCEDES

Members of the Sécurity Council (US, Soviet Union, France and Britain), as well as both other states represented at the assembly, must take part in drawing , up such a document, he said.

This is a formula which already conceded nine-tenths of the Israeli demands.

No doubt the basis for such an agreement would be some sort of international supervision, perhaps under UN auspices, of its observance.

Israel would withdraw to its 1967 frontiers, Hussein's rule or the rule of his puppets would be established on the West Bank of the Jordan and the Arab revolution would be under the perpetual surveillance of an imperialist 'police force'.

Gromyko's proposal is even worse than the infamous RogersGromyko plan which was forcibly halted by the civil war in Jordan.

DIRECT BLOW

Once the Palestinian commandos had been whipped into line by a combination of Soviet 'non-intervention, nationalist treachery from Arafat and barbaric butchery from Hussein's Army, the way was open for this latest blueprint for treachery.

Those Palestinian commandos who disrupted the RogersGromyko plan last month struck a direct blow at the very perspective Gromyko outlined in the UN.

The full treachery of Stalinism —which supported the foundation of Israel as an imperialist client-state - is now being brought to bear once again on the Arab masses. Students lose cash by studying POST-GRADUATE students lose over £18 a week by continuing their studies, compared with a conservative estimate of what they would be earning in a job, according to an education planning paper published today.

The paper, 'Student Numbers in Higher Education in England and Wales', reveals that graduates lose more than £14 10s if they decide to try for higher qualifications.

Advanced further education students lose over £13.

Postgraduates could earn about £2i 8s a week if working, the paper claims—in what must be regarded as a rock-bottom figure.

A working graduate could earn about £15 13s a week and furDei Gromyko proposal for Nations on There can be no compromise with this gendarme proposal, conceived in secret and unveiled over the graves of thousands of Palestinian martyrs.

The Arab Revolution can now go forward only in the most ruthless struggle against all those nationalist and Stalinist forces who want to strangle the Palestinian movement.

Up to, now, the Arab states have always rejected the idea of a formal peace treaty with Israel, though there will no doubt be considerable Soviet pressure on the new Egyptian cabinet -headed by right - winger Mohammed Fawzi-to move towards such an agreement.

Gromyko's proposal to reactivate the Jarring mission in order to press through such a plan contains grave dangers of UN intervention.

Zionists plan an antiGromyko demonstration THE JEWISH Board of Deputies is calling a stration 'against Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko when he visits London next week.

It is likely that the two issues will be deliberately confused by those leading the demonstraThe Board of Deputies is supposed to be a sort of representative institution for lews Britain.

But ever since 1943, it has been under effective Zionist control and political direction.

Policy

Zionist policy regarding Jewish organizations which they control is to use them, generally speaking, under the guise of speaking for all Jews, not to defend the interests of the Jewish minorities so much as to further Israeli foreign policy.

In 1962, a Board of Deputies spokesman condemned Jewish youth who used their fists against fascists, and went to considerable efforts to persuade them to trust to petitions, trust the Tory Home Secretary, and trust the police. ther education and educationcollege students in the region of Yet surveys show that their actual earnings from vacation work and part-time teaching during terms only amount to between fl Is and fl 3s a session.

ADVANCE NOTICE SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT IN EGYPT THE appointment of Mahmoud Fawzy, 70-year-old career diplomat-and the only living link with the displaced monarchy—as Prime Minister of Egypt is the most significant appointment to be made since Nasser's death.

Fawzy, a loyal servitor of Nasser, is noted for his moderation and his dedication to preserving Egypt's links with demonAndrei But the Board is noticeably silent now about Zionist gang violence against Palestinian Arab supporters (including some Jews) in London.

In 1967 the Board of Deputies sent a delegation to Whitehall to complain because Foreign Secretary George Brown was not supporting Israel's occupation of Arab areas seized in the June Auxiliary Claiming to speak for all Jewish people in Britain, the Board was in fact functioning as an auxiliary arm of Israeli government policy.

Although the Zionists have always extracted as much political capital as they could from the Stalinist treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union and E Europe, they have usually left such activities as demonstrations on this issue to Jewish student groups.

However, since the June 1967 war in particular, Zionist propaganda has gone to great lengths to portray the Soviet Union as enemy number one of the Jews, and to make a connection between anti-Semitism in the Soviet bloc and Soviet support for the Arab states against Israel.

This is somewhat ahistorical to say the least.

Diplomatic

In 1948, when Stalin's secret police were launching a murderous ogrom or jewish writers nd intellectuals in the Soviet Union, Soviet foreign policy was supporting Israel, both at the United Nations and with arms supplies.

SUNDAY, FEBRUA ALEXANDRA PALACE Wood Green London, N22 the West through war peace.

He is a former ambassador to Britain and was deputy Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1964.

The post of Prime Minister was held by Nasser for three years before his death.

Fawzy's appointment as PM indicates that the new regime of Anwar Sadat places high premium on maintainand trengthening the somewhat strained relations Gromyko Today, of course, the Soviet bureaucracy has been pressing the Arabs towards a diplomatic deal with Israel.

It was under Soviet pressure that Syria withdrew support from the Arab guerrillas in the Jordanian civil war.

To cap it all, the Kremlin offered the US the proposal of a joint military force to police the Israeli-Arab front against the Palestinian struggle.

Nevertheless, the Zionists continue to attack Soviet arms supplies to Egypt, partly, to assist themselves in procuring more arms from the USA, and partly to keep up the idea of a Soviet plan to destroy Israel.

Credibility

Since the June war it has been difficult for the Zionists to carry on pretending that they are solely concerned with 'poor little Israel' fighting for the physical survival of its people.

The credibility of this image has worn thin, even among the Jewish people.

There is widespread sympathy for the Palestinians. So a new ogre is needed, and by presenting anti-Semitism in E Europe and arms shipments to Egypt as Young Socialists and All Trades Unions Alliar GREAT NATIONAL RALLY AGAINST TORYISM ATE NOW with US and ism.

Whatever the regime might say about 'non-alignment' it is becoming increasingly bound up with US imperialism's plans to dominate the Middle East since the acceptance of the Rogers peace plan.

A turn to the right in foreign policy betokens a similar turn in home policy. Having betrayed the Palestinian masses it now appears certain that attacks against the working class and peasantry • in Egypt must follow. all part of a plot to destroy the ews, the Zionists try to present he Soviet Union in the role of anti-Jewish ogre-to scare some loyalty back into the camp.

By linking Stalinist antiSemitism and the Middle East issue, and whipping up emotional and anti-Communist hysteria (in common with other reactionaries they do not distinguish between Stalinism and Communism) the Zionists particularly hope to retain a grip on Jewish youth who are breaking from Zionism, and are attracted to revolutionary politics.

Behind their noise about ogres, the Zionists' real concern is for this danger. NEW SUBSCRIPTION RATES FOR 6-DAY WORKERS PRESS The Workers Press is now being published on six days a week.
