Any solution to the Middle East crisis should embody the five principles enunciated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in statements on June 19. 1967. and September 10. 1968. The five principles were: Recognition of the right of every nation to live in peace and have this right respected by its neighbors. freedom of innocent maritime passage in international waterways. limitation of the arms race. respect for the political independence and territorial integrity of all countries. and progress in solving the refugee problem. The fifth principleprogress in solving the refugee problemwould have to take into consideration the entire history of the refugees in the Middle East. Efforts to Impose a peace settlement have failed in the past and they will fail again unless these principles are adhered to. Peace can come only if both sides -respect the right of each to exist.
