The American Association for the United Nations today adopted a resolution appealing to the United States Government to use its authority and prestige at the United Nations to urge direct negotiations between the Arab states and Israel for Near Eastern peace.
“Pending a peace settlement,” said the resolution, “we believe that the supply of arms in this region is ill-advised and dangerous and inimical to a peaceful settlement. However, we favor continued economic assistance to all the people of the area in order to raise living standards and to strengthen democratic institutions.”
