Of course. it is somewhat general in its language. but this is necessarily so since any Initial proposal for a settlement of any dispute must leave room for changes of position and changes of language. This being said. however. this British resolutionwhich Is essentially the same as a resolution previously offered by the United Statescontains all the basic points at dispute between the parties. These include establishment of boundaries. recognition of status. freedom of navigation. and settlement of the refugee problem. It is true that some of the problems will be difficult to solve and agreement will be hard to achieve. but the point which I wish to make is that some movement of the parties toward solution is necessary and time is of the essence. The passage of time. unfortunately. has not hereas in some casesbrought a relaxation of tensions. but rather an increase.
