Mr. President. my colleague would imply things that are not to be viewed in the context of history or the other facts in connectionwith this situation. and hence are not to be considered in connection with the problem of a settlement. My colleague has said the Arab refugees constitute more than half of the population of Jordan. They constitute the most difficult element in that country and they are keeping it completely upset and boiling. But when the Jordanians had a chancenot with the Israelis. but with Eric Johnstonto resettle 200.000 of them by means of a fair division of the waters of the Jordan River. the Jordanians turned down the proposal. and the Syrians vetoed it because it was better to them as an issue than as a settlement.
