^Brandt falls into trap of German pro-Zionists'

EROM ARAB SOURCES:
Editorial - Beirut Star
The Botin government, soon to stand a popularity test at the ballots, is making it difficult for men in Germany and the Arab world who worked hard since 1965 to re-establish diplomatic relations to stand idly by and see the fruit of their strenuous effort going down the drain.
If the ill-treatment of Arabs in West Germany is not stopped at once, the damage already caused may never be undone. After all, many Arabs have bad their doubts about the resumption of relations, arguing that a country which concluded a secret arms deal and then denied its existence officially, cannot be much trusted to keep its part of any agreement. That the secret arms deal with Israel was concluded by the Christian Democrats while the Socialists are now in power is of no concern to the Arabs. They stand to suffer anyway.
It is regrettable (more so for the Germans than for the Arabs) that the Socialist government of Chancellor Willy Brandt has no more claim to socialism than its name. The manhandling of Arab residents, their arbitrary expulsion and deportation, and the general anti-Arab feeling in the country (fed by an irresponsible and chauvinistic press) are more totalitarian than Socialist.
Many Arabs suspect that the Bonn government has gone to the extreme in its reaction to the Munich killings because of its underlying guilt complex toward the world Jewry. But one cannot rectify a mistake by committing another. Certainly not in the case of the Arabs; they were, also victims of the Nazis. The genocide of the Jews created the sympathy which caused the Arabs the loss of Palestine.

The Bonn government is now hurting the Arabs again. Hopefully the polls will show that a majority of the German people do not share its views. The Socialists might have gambled on oppressing the Arabs to gain popularity with the voters. But who is to judge and who is to give the
lead? Herr Brandt should certainly be smarter than to fail into the trap of the Springer chain or any other pro-Zionist group. He should not want the .Arabs to feel that the postwar humane veneer of German society is only skin deep.

JERUSALEM (JCNS) -
If universities elsewhere in the Arab world will pledge their recognition and co-op-eraUon, the West Bank is like to have its own university by next year.
Israel has already given
its approval in principle and u-aits only the submission of detailed plans before according the project its full blessing.
What the Israeli Education Minister Yigal AUon is n-aiting to hear tmrn West Bank leaders is how they vkllijraise the necessary fin-
ance and where they will recruit the teaching staff.
According to Arab sources, a rich Algerian has already promised to provide substantial funds and, they sayj they are not averse to engaging Israeli lecturers as well as academics from the Arab world.
The suggestion for a West bank unive;rsity was first raised during the Hussein regime, but the king was anxious to keep Amman as the academic centre of his kingdom. He also feared that the university might serve as a centre for the propagation of hostile sep-
Begin warns against Israeli withdrawal
NEW YORK (JTA) -
Menachem Begin reasserted his view that Israel must retain the territory it now holds and warned that any move to withdraw could lead to the devastation of the Jewish State. In a politically subdued, but foreceful presentation, the Gahal leader and Knesset member told 500 persons attending the Israel Bond Organization dinner here that if Israel withdraws, her enemies could converge on the small strip of land remaining and, within minutes, be able to reach the major cities in a pincer movement.
"Should we always be on the brink of disaster and then with the last vestige of strength extricate ourselves?" he asked. 'Do we have the moral right to ask our children to face such danger? More, does any nation have the moral right to ask us to do this?" The Israel Bond dinner Thursday night marked the launching of their New York fall cam-
paign and Israel's 25tbanniversary. More than 55,657,000 in Israel bonds was sold at the dinner.
Begin observed that the boundaries of a number of nations changed when peace treaties were signed after World War I and II. These
boundaries, codified by international law, have not been called into question, he said. "No more shall Jews be exceptions to international law," Begin declared.
"The rules applying to war and peace shall also apply to
Israel and the Jewish people. Aggressors must never get away with the spoils of their crimes."
aratist propaganda. ..
There are, apparently, still some reservations on the part of the Jordanian government but the pressure of West bank students unable to obtain admission to universities elsewhere in the Arab world for their own institution of higher learn-ing_has concefltrated the efforts of local leaders on meeting their demand. _
The municipality of Ram-allah, an Arab Christian city close to Jerusalem, is ready to provide a 50-acre site for the university but other towns, such as Nablus and Hebron, have also put in claims.

see Canada as a land of mmwdifferences,
with many contributions which help make our country strong.'*
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has emphasized that all Canadians must have the opportunity to cherish and perpetuate their own habits, customs and traditions-and to share those of their neighbours.
That's why the Liberal Government has adopted a multicultural policy for Canada-one that means support for your culture, your neighbour's culture, and their contribution to our society.
This support isn't new from a Liberal Governinent. Prime Miriister Trudeau's actions are clearly the natural fulfilment of decades of Liberal policy-a policy which welcomed the people of many lands in their wish to make a new place for themselves in Canada, to seek reunion with friends and relatives, to contribute to the prosperity and cultural vitality of their new home.
The wisdom of that choice is supported by the record of the Trudeau Government. Since 1968 nearly 1,000,000 new jobs have been created.
Growth in personal iricome is more than $800 higher for every man, woman and child. We have the best record in the Western World in controlling the cost of living, and Canada's economic growth is envied throughout the world.
More efforts have been made to share our prosperity among all our citizens. The poor, the untrained, the young, the sick, and the unemployed, have all benefited from new or improved Government programs. And for Canada's senior citizens, there's been more housing new tax deductions, and pensions have been increased-with benefits pegged to the cost of living.
What can you do? ^
You, as a Canadian citizen, should vote. Make sure you take the tinie to vote, and ui^e your fellow citizens to support the Gbvernmemwith an unbroken Ki'story of multicultural understanding-and the actions to prove it.
