Dayan: we’ll build more settlement: By TOM FOLEY Israel will build. new settlements in the oc- cupied Arab lands ‘‘whether other people like it or not,’ said Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel in Tel _Aviv yesterday, just be- fore he and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman left for Washington. Dayan revealed that the Is- raeli cabinet has decided to step up settlements immediately in all occupied areas. He admitted there was sup- posed to be a three-month moratorium on settlements while the current Egypt-Israel talks were going onin Washing- ton for a separate peace treaty. He said: ‘But even during those three months, it was never agreed by us that the existing Israeli settlements should be frozen, so this is our policy, and whether, other people like it or not I think not only.that we are permitted to go ahead with it but also that we should do it.” Dayan also revealed that the Foreign Ministry and Premier Menachem Begin’s office would be moved to occupied East Jerusalem, according to the same cabinet decision. The cabinet decision repor- tedly involves spending $15 mil- lion to add hundreds of new hous- ing units and move several thousand new settlers into the occupied Golan Heights of Syria as well as the West Bank and Gaza strip. After a three-day debate, Is- rael’s cabinet wrote extensive changes irito the draft Egypt- Israel separate peace. treaty, then approved the altered doc- ument Wednesday. Among the changes is one which spells out that the Egypt-Israel deal is ab- solutely independent of any other agreement, such as on the occupied territories. The statement in Amman Tuesday by King Hussein of Jordan no doubt made it clear to Begin, Dayan and Weizman that Jordan was not going along with the Camp David sellout. King Hussein said that any ¢ Middle East peace settlement — must guarantee the national rights of the Palestinians and must involve the withdrawal of all Israeli troops from all oc- cupied Arab lands, including east Jerusalem. The Jordanian monarch vowed that Jordan would continue to give every possible support to the Palesti- nians to help them achieve their national rights, including the right to national self- determination. In Beirut, Lebanon, Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Pales- tine Liberation Organization (PLO), .yesterday..condemned the Camp David’accords as “slavery.” In an interview with Ned. Temko of United Press In- ternational (UPI), Arafat, ac- cording to the UPI report, ‘‘di- rected some of his bitterest comments at the U.S. ... He said Washington had not lived up to an agreement with Mos- cow in October, 1977, on endors- ing the legitimate rights of the Palestinians. ‘So how do you expect me to believe they would be committed or would be able to be committed to me,’ ” said the PLO leader. Arafat is leaving Beirut to- charged with the morrow on a visit to the Soviet Union.

SANDINISTAS ORGANIZING TO FIGHI ont train in the jungles of Nicaragua to prepare for their role in the popular movement to overthrow dictator Anastasio Somoza. LATIN AMERICAN NOTES War clouds in S. America _ Argentina and Chile seemed Thursday to be preparing for war over the oil-rich Beagle Channel in southern Tierra del Fuego, in the extreme southern part of- South America near Cape Horn. The tense situation potentially could drag most of South America into any conflict that might erupt. Tierra del Fuego is divided between Argentina and Chile. Both sides have major oil and natural gas producing sites there. Surveys indicate poten- tially vast offshore oil deposits exist off the south- ern coast, and fascist Chile recently awarded the Atlantic Richfield Corporation (ARCO) of the U.S. a gigantic offshore oil concession in the area. Three islands in the Beagle Channel area have been dis- puted by the two countries since 1881. When the question was submitted for arbitration to Britain, the islands were proclaimed Chilean by the British mediator. ; Chile’s fascist junta immediately announced a 200-mile extension of Chile’s territorial waters into the South Atlantic (towards South Africa), but Argentina refused to accept the British mediator’s decision. . Both Argentina and Chile have set November 2 as the date by which the dispute should be settled peacefully. As that date nears, both sides are build- ing up their ground, air and naval forces in the area, and Argentina tank and infantry forces are reported pouring into Mendoza, directly east of the Chilean capital of Santiago. The Andes mountains are between the two cities. Latin American observers feel that more than simple saber-rattling is going on: basically, the conflict is over oil, as was the disastrous Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay in the 1930s— a war in reality between U.S. and British oil corporations over the oil-rich Chaco region. Both Argentina and Chile have vast claims in Antarctica, directly to the south of the disputed area, but the British award to Chile pre-empts these Argentine claims. It also gives fascist Chile for the first time a claim to the South Atlantic, strengthening ties to apartheid South Africa and making Chile a candidate for the Pentagon-backed ‘‘South Atlantic Treaty Organi- zation” or SATO (Chilean fascists troops are al- ready fighting alongside the South Africans in _ Namibia). - In Argentina, where army reserves are being called up and the first air raid drill since 1943 was held this week in Buenos Aires, the feeling is that the pro-fascist sector of the ruling military junta is pushing hard for war, in order to tip the political scales within the junta in favor of an outright fas- cist regime such as exists in Chile. Although Argen- ‘tina is bigger, and militarily stronger, than Chile, it is pointed out that in fact the Chilean fascist regime has close ties to Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay — all presently hostile to Argentina — and that these countries might fall on Argentina in case of war. The Chilean fascist junta confronts other border problems: Bolivia earlier this year broke off dip- lomatic relations with the junta over a long- smouldering border issue and Peru also remains unsatisfied with its border with Chile. Chile unions outlawed The fascist Chilean junta has outlawed seven trade unions with a combined membership of 200,000 workers. This was done to crush strikes by Chilean miners at the big Chuquicamata and El Teniente mines, which were joined by steel work- ers at the Huasipato smelter. The banned Christiari Democratic Party an- grily protested the move and the Roman Catholic Church in Chile said it would take all possible legal steps to fight the decision. Group of 12 leaves talks Nicaragua’s anti-dictatorship coalition ‘Group of 12”’ walked out of U.S.-sponsored “mediation” talks in Managua on. Thursday. Father Miguel _D’Escoto, the Roman Catholic priest who repre- sented the ‘‘Group of 12” in the talks, immediately went into hiding, but later he and five other mem- bers of his delegation took refuge in the Mexican Embassy. © = He said: ‘‘We have pulled out because we - realized that:the mediation team was trying to. force us to accept a political program which did not entirely involve the ouster of (dictator Anastasio) Somoza, and this we cannot accept.” D’Escoto said the mediation team, which includes a U.S. member was stalling to gain time for Somoza, ‘‘or at least to impose on Nicaragua a docile government to the U.S.’ liking.” Brazil genocide threat Brazilian anthropologists and Roman Catholic Church leaders charged this week in Sao Paulo that a law to be signed by President Ernesto Geisel on October 30 will result in genocide for Brazil’s. 180,000 Native Americans. The law makes them “full citizens” but also removes all government ° protection on them and their 132,000 square miles of land. PACIFIC TRIBUNE—November 3, 1978—Page 8
