Council decided without a vote today to take up the critical situation in the Middle East Despite strong statements by the Soviet Union and India opposing a council meeting at this time and expres expressions ¬ sions of reservations by France no formal objection was raised The meeting was called at the request of Canada and Den mark Canadian Ambassador George Ignatleff said Canada is asking that the Security Council and in particular all of its perma nent members who bear spe cial responsibilities add the weight of its influence collec tively by asking that no mem ber of the United Nations take any action which would worsen the situation or jeopardize the efforts of the secretary general to preserve peace Ignatleff said the Security Council had the responsibility to agree on some course of ac action ¬ tion that would help Secretary General U Thant in his efforts to preserve peace in the Middle East Soviet Ambassador Nicoll Fe dorenko said the Canadian am bassador did not take into ac court the simple fact that Thant now is in Cairo to gather t h e necessary information about the Middle East situa tlon He said the council should await his report Fedorenko described I g n a tieff s attitude as rather ironi cal It reminds us of an Oriental proverb He is asked to look at the moon but he looks at his own finger But the Soviet ambassador said Ignatleff together with cer tain other Western representa tives is artificially dramatlz ing the situation Arthur Goldberg U S ambas sador said This council would have to be burying its head in the sand if it refused to recognize the threat to peace implicit In the events that have occurred since the secretary general left two days ago Ambassadors Allowed Goldoefg said the situation had deteriorated since Thant s departure for Cairo Monday It is precisely because of these events that we are meet ing to consider what the Secu rity Council ought to do in the discharge of responsibility to further his efforts not to im pede him The council agreed to allow the ambassadors or Israel the United Arab Republic and Syria to take part in the debate as parties directly concerned Fedorenko wondered why Canada and Denmark two NATO countries had made such a strong effort to convene the council in as much as they are not neighbors of any Middle Eastern countries and are not parties to the dispute Is there not more of con cealed desire here to interfere in the affairs of some one else than a true concern for peace and security in the Middle East he asked Ignatieif then recalled Chants report to the Security Council last Satuiday in which the sec retary general said the situa tion in the Middle East is more menacing than at any other time since the fall of 195G Ignatleff added In recent days there have been state ments by the president of the United Arab Republic Egypt and by the prime minister of Israel which face us with the possibility of the danger of di rect confrontation between the United Arab Republic and Is rael over the question of access to the Gulf of Aqaba In the face of this rising and dangerous state of tension the means of bringing influences of moderation to bear in the area through the UN far from hav Ing been Increased have been decreased at the very moment of crisis by the withdrawal of UNEF the UN Emergency Force withdrawal early last week at Egypts request Careful Effort7 Made Fedorenko told the council shortly after it convened at 11 54 am EDT One fact Is quite sympto symptomatic ¬ matic A careful effort has been made to see to It that the two NATO countries which are far from being close neighbors to the Near East and not any of the paities directly concerned took the initiative of this urgent crisis for children at the door and beforehand at the library

area in her gallery City artist Joan Aspa will be in Vancouver at the On Broadway gallery and so will 17 of her pictures She expects to be doing profiles at the show Is there not more of a con cealed desire here to interfere in the affairs of someone else rather than true concern for the peace and security of the Near East The meeting had been re quested by Canada and Den Denmark ¬ mark with the strong support of the United States to deal with the threat of war between the Arabs and Israel The three countries sought action by the 15 nation council to bulwark the efforts of SecretaryGeneral U Thant The principal means to bal ance this deteriorating situation through the United Nations has been the mission of the secre tarygeneral himself Ignatleff said I believe at this stage the most useful contribution which this council can make to this grave situation Is to reinforce the current efforts being made by the secretary general to pre serve peace In the area We should at the same time urge that no member state of the UN take an action which ould either prejudice the success of the secretary generals mission or worsen the situation In taking this Initiative to ask the council to convene I must stress that we are willing to consult with all our col leagues as well as with the countries most dlrectlj con cerned to ti to find agree ments which will teverse the drift towatds

refused a certificate of public convenience and necessity to Inland Natural Gas Co Ltd for Its proposed 6 million East Kootenay Link In a decision which seems to lean toward a zonal financing system the commission approv approved ¬ ed onlytwo small communltypro jeets of the six for which Inland had applied at a public hearing In Vancouver April 18 and 19 The commission noted in its decision that east Kootenay link which would stretch from Ythk to China Creek would be mainly for the purpose of supplying in general the West Kootenay and In particular its industrial plants Inland planned to buy its new supply from Alberta and Southern Gas Co The commission agrees that it would be desirable to have a dual source of supply of gas foi this area if the project were economically feasible intheWest Kootenay said the decision Not Feasible It has not been shown to be economically feasible and accor accordingly ¬ dingly the commission does not approve the application for the East Kootenay link The commission said It would consider a second application but only on certain conditions including immediate Issuance of 2 million worth of common shares or common share rights Centennial Paddlers Other conditions included were that supply contracts be produced satisfactory to the commission that Industrial sales contracts be produced that the resulting in income ¬ come from the sales contracts Including industrial sales shall be shown to be compensatory and that the plan of financing of the line Is approved by the commis commission ¬ sion Since the time of its early operations Inland has consis consistently ¬ tently declined to increase sub substantially ¬ stantially its percentage of com common ¬ mon equity through sale of com common ¬ mon snares or common share rights the decision said This position seems to have been maintained regardless of the profitability of the utility and state of the money market Minimum Need The PUC said the 2 million share Issue with a correspond corresponding ¬ ing drop in Inlands debt require requirements ¬ ments is the minimum im immediate ¬ mediate need The two projects approved were a 42500 gas service In Installation ¬ stallation at the Indian school complex at ISO Mile House and a 5800 Installation at Honeymoon Creek The commission ordered that the two projects be financed from funds from current earnings of Inland noting that both are small projects and will have a negli negligible ¬ gible effect on the companys Squire MOBILE HOMES M lo 6 Hotl H way Phone 963 9292 operations whether or not they are economic The commission noted that one of the big reasons Inland cited for requiring the East Kootenay link was the need for increased capacity so lndustiial customers could be put on firm rather than interruptible gas use basis The commission has con considered ¬ sidered for a number of years that Inland was not legally or morally bound to provide either this Increased capacity or the gas on this basis the decision said The PUC said it appreciated the advantage of a dual gas source but noted there had been no evi evidence ¬ dence at the hearing to show sup supplying ¬ plying gas from the new source would be economically justi justifiable ¬ fiable Serious Doubts The commission added it has serious doubts about whether In Inland ¬ land would be able to make In Industrial ¬ dustrial sales contracts in the required volumes to yield 395 cents per thousand cubic feet which the company claimed it could do with the East Kootenay link The commission said Inland had presented Insufficient evi evidence ¬ dence on markets in Princeton Coldstream and Peachland Inland president John McMahon said from Vancouver his company will re apply for the East Koote Kootenay ¬ nay link at the earliest
