BRITAIN SAYS SOVIET VETO MUST NOT SCARE BIG THREE
Failure of the British and American Governments to reach agreement on a joint approach to the United Nations Security Council on Israel-Jordan tension has delayed the conclusion of the talks among Washington, London and Paris on Israel’s appeal that the Big Three bring the problem to the Security Council for urgent consideration, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today.
(The British Government, it was explained, is not inclined to accept the argument that because of recent Soviet vetoes the Security Council is no longer the place for discussion of Middle East issues. “This would indeed be a conclusion of utmost gravity, “an official source told the JTA. It is known that France strongly supports the British view.)
