There is ample reason to be disturbed by what has not been stated. In Egypts earlier reply to Ambassador Jarring there was no mention by Egypt that she would specifically permit Israel to use the Suez Canal i it was reopened thus making it clear that Egypt intended to reserve her rights of belligerency under the Constantinople Treaty. Egypts next "magnanimous" offer was to acknowledge Israels rights of passage through international waterways. but this was made conditional on prior total Israeli withdrawal and a satisfactory solution of the Arab refugee problem. To Egypt. "satisfactory" means Israels absorption of all those Arab refugees who wish to returnwhich is another way of insuring the destruction of Israel. The onesided exchanges of tentative Egyptian statements of intent for drastic Israel concessions to date are ludicrous on their face. They are certainly not in keeping with the "evenhanded" policy we are supposed to be pursuing.
