UNITED NATIONS-No member
of the United Nations has been
aggrieved more openly by another
member than Israel has been
through Egypt'S blockade of the
Suez Canal. No nation - with the
possible exception of India, which
has Haunted repeated Security
Council resolutions affecting the
Kashrnir case-has defied U. N.
resoltions more openly, more con-
sistently and more flagrantly than
Egypt has in the case of the anti
Israeli blockade of the canal. And,
in the face of such persistent vio-
lation of its rights, no member has
been as patient as Israel has been.
Now that patience is at an end.
This year, at the current session
of the General Assembly, Israel in
tends to. break its Suez case wide
open.
Mrs. Coda Meir, IsraePs foreign
minister, is sure to go into the
Suez issue fully when she address
es a plenary session of the assem-
bly, during general debate" That
debate" consists of series OF
statements on foreign policy by the
heads of the various delegations.
No issue is of greater urgency for
Israel right now than its grievance
against Egypt's actions in the
SueZ.
Mrs. Meir may have another OPP
portunity to expound her govern
ment's Suez grievances. At any
time during the life of the assem-
bly, session, Israel could propose
an additional item on the assembly
agenda.
ISRAEL'S RIGHTS to freedom of
shipping through the Suez Canal
are clear and clearly recognized
by the United Nations. The United
Nations and all its members, in
cluding the United Arab Republic,
recognizes the validity of the Con-
stantinople Convention of Oct. 20,
1888 respecting the free naviga-
ton of the Suez Canal" 1t is rele-
want at this time to recall Article |
of that convention, which reads:
"The Suez Maritime Canal shall
always be free an open, in time
of war as in the time of peace,
to every vessel of commerce or
of war, without distinction OF
flag. Consequently, the high con-
tracing parties agree not IN any
way to interfere with the free
use of the canal, in time of war
as in time of peace. The canal
shall never be subjected to the
exercise of the right of block
| ade."
WE JUMP almost SO years. 1t is
Sept. 1, 1851. The UN Security
Council has finished long debate OF
an Israeli complaint against
Egypt's blockade of the Suez Can
al. A resolution is voted, unani-
mously = even the Soviet Union is

backs up IsraePs complaints, en-
joins Egypt by name, declares out
right in its final paragraph that

"Calls upon Egypt to terminate
the restrictions on the passage OF

The Internal Revenue Service

in which he attempted to
clarity what he called "the

tain tax claims are settled for

The misconception, he said.
ARISES from the fact that the
large cases are more newsy and
therefore find their way into
the press. whereas the numer-
Gus smaller cases are ignored.
"A large part Of the respon-
sihility for the public misun-
derstanding," he said. "can
also be charged to the laws
which forbid IRIS from talking
publicly about a taxpayers af-

become q matter Of public rec
