Lahor^ Mapam Parties Align At Meeting
TEL AVIV,(JTA)e-Prime Minister Golda Mehr was on record tids week with notice that even if prospects for peace ^arose in the Middle East, Israel wUlnot "for^o one hich d land if it means one inch ,d-Iand if it means endangering our security borders." The 71-year-old Mrs. Meir, exhausted after - tile convention d her own Israel Labor Party, spoke . at a joint meeting d the party and the Mapam Party in Mann Auditorium here. -It wa^ the first such meet¬ ing since tbe two parties en¬ tered into a poUtical align! ment and it marked the be¬ ginning of the canipaign for next October'sparliamen- tary elections.
The election irtll befougli on ttaree levels—for seats in the Knesset, for repre¬ sentation- ih the governing councU of Histadrut, Israel's powerfiil labor  federation, and foi\ offices in munld- otber local bo- i Israel Labor Party 1 wiU appear on a common list. Both pturties haye' approved a common |pklf«rin -for, tli^ Histadrut 'and local elections^'Sut'they have yetto approve the Knes¬ set platform which was in- complde when tbeir conven¬ tions ended. Three contro¬ versial planks deaUng with security borders,fordghpo- licy and poUey in the occup¬ ied  Arab territories were referred by each party to its central ccnnmittees for final decision. Israel'ssecurity appeared uppermost in Pre¬ mier Mebr's mind wben she said, calmly and deliberate- lyj "We shall measure every centimeter to ascertain whiich border hi truth wiU assure us d peace. There may be disagreement, butthe decisive tidng is what will
ensure peace, not only foi one day but for all times." wMch has been criticized by some elements in both par¬ ties. She said it was not an expedient alliance of two po¬ litical camps but "the logical conclusion of 50 years d arguments and great deeds. The main thing is to seek what unites us rather than points of division. Peace is StiU far off. War is very much with us. We can dis¬ cuss and argue about future borders but it is oidy an argu¬ ment. What matters is not argument butperformance." Pinhas Saptr, ,secretary- general of tbe Israel Labor Party said there was no dissension at tbe convention "despite .our enepiies* pre¬ dictions" andaclded,"Weare fiiUy prepared to embark on the election campaign."
