Begin Decides To Continue Tour
- By Michael Solomon
MONTREAL (JTA)-Pr-
emier Menachem Begin considered the possibility
yesterday of cutting short
his visit to Canada to return
to Israel, after a long, telephone conversation with
Defense Minister Ezer Weizman from Washington. Informed sources here said
that Begin decided to continue his tour. He left Montreal early this afternoon for
Toronto where he was received by Ontario Premier
William Davis and his
Cabinet.
It was believed that Weizman proposed an early return to Israel in view of the
Cabinet's rejection of some
of the language of the draft
"peace'treaty with Egypt now
being negotiated ' in
Washington. Weizman was
expected to fly to Toronto
tomorrow to brief Begin oh
the latest developments.
Have Made 'Real Effort'
For Peace, Begin Says
Yesterday, Beginspoke at
a luncheon given by the Federal government, which was
hosted by Marc Lalonde,
Minister of State for Federal
and Provincial Relations.
Addressing an array of
important leaders and dignitaries and 400 Jewish community leaders and diani-
taries and 400 Jewish community leaders of the Montreal Jewish community,
Begin said, "There may be
other problems to solve,'but
what we know is that' we
have made a real effort to
achieve peace and never has
a greater effort been made
by any other nation."
Lalonde, raising his glass to
Begin, said that at the recent
Camp David , peace talks,
agreements were reached
and there was "a clear evidence that painful concessions can be made by all
parties in the interest of
peace."   -
Last night, Begin addresed
a huge rally at the Shaar
Hashamayim Synagogue in
Westmount, and his Limousine outflanked a small
group of PLO demonstrators
chanting, "Down with
Fascist Begin." Begin was
given a long standing ovation by 3000 people who
packed the synagogue.
Several hundred had to
watch Begin on TV circuits,
for lack of space inside. He
said, "There has been
enough bloodshed, suffering
and tears. • We wanted a
peace where there were no
victors, no vanquished, just
equals. They used to say war
is inevitable. I tell you that
what is inevitable now is
peace."
Commission Named To Establish
Modes To Honor Holocaust Victims
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA)-
President Carter today
named a commission and an
advisory board of 51 distinguished Americans, Jewish
and non-Jewish citizens, to
recommendways for the
United States to honor,the
six million victims of the
Nazi Holocaust.
A commission of 24 Ameri
cans and an advisory board
of 27 others who will contribute scholarly expertise and
community service will
work to arrange the funding
and an appropriate
memorial to the victims. In
addition, they will recommend ways for the United
States to commemorate next
April 28-29 as "The days of
remembrance of victims of
the Holocaust." In addition,
the President' has asked the
President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House to
name 10 members of the
Congress,-- five from each
House, to serve with the
commission.

30th anniversary of the birth
of the State of Israel, announced last May 1 that he

NEW YORK (WNS) -
Some of the agreements
worked out by,Israeli and
Egyptian peace treaty negotiators in Washington were
"undone" when they took it
back to their home governments, President Carter told
a press conference in Kansas
City Nov. 9. He said that on
more than one occasion the
negotiators had" reached an
agreement on the language
of the text of a particular
section of the treaty, but
when the text was given "to
the leaders at home in Egypt
and Israel, sometimes the
work that has been done is
partly undone." Answering
questions from local reporters,, Carter stressed that
both Israeli Premier Menachem Begin and Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat
agree with him that an Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement must be. linked to a
comprehensive settlement of
the Arab-Israeli conflict, although they disagree on the
language of linking the two.
"There is no doubt in my
mind, or President Sadat's
or Mr. Begin's, that one of
the premises for the Camp
David negotiations was a
comprehensive peace-settlement that includes not just
an isolated peace treaty between Israel-and Egypt, but
includes a solution of the
West Bank, the Gaza Strip
and the Golan Heights." Carter noted that Sadat and
Begin differ on how specific
the linkage should be. "I personally favor the presently
negotiated language which
in the preamble does say
that both nations commit
themselves to carry out a
comprehensive peace agreement as was agreed at Camp
David." But Carter stressed
that the differences over language do "not violate" the
Camp David accords. He reiterated that the U.S. was
"not trying to impose" its
belief on the two countries
but would leave it to them to
negotiate a solution. "We
hope they will rapidly reach
a conclusion," he said. His
remarks came the day after
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan and Defense Minister
Ezer Weizman, the heads of
the Israeli negotiating team,
presented Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance ih Washington
with the latest changes in the
treaty asked for by the Israeli Cabinet
Meanwhile, Begin, on a triumphant tour of Canada, rejected a proposal by Weizman that he cut short his
official visit to Canada lo
deal with the Cabinet's rejection of some of the language of the peace treaty.
Begin in Canada has been
stressing that "peace will be
established soon, but we
must be a little patient." He
said in his speeches in Canada as he did earlier in addressing an Israel Bonds dinner in Los Angeles that Jerusalem must remain united as
the capital of Israel. At the
Los Angeles dinner Nov. 5 at
which 1500 persons bought
$20 million in Bonds, Begin
urged the American government to recognize Jerusalem
as Israel's capital out of a
"sense of decency and fairness."
Begin arrived in Ottawa
Nov. 6 to be greeted by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre
Elliott Trudeau and a tumultuous welcome by some
200 Jewish adults and chil-'
dren. Some said it was the
most enthusiastic welcome
ever given a visiting foreign
dignitary. Begin was
warmly welcomed at the
{Canadian Parliament Nov, 7
after   which   Trudeau   re
marked that "after yotir tremendous ovation which
greeted your presence at the
House of Commons today, I
thought that an alliance may
have been struck between-
the Liberal Party of Canada
(Trudeau's party) and the
Likud," Begin's party. At a
dinner in Ottawa which
Begin gave for the Canadian
Prime Minister he invited
Trudeau to come to Israel.
Trudeau replied that Begin
is "the leader of a valiant
and industrious people and
you come here at the turning
point in the history of Israel.
By your presence and the
timing of your visit, you
have honored us, the people
and government of Canada."
Trudeau reciprocated by
hosting a state dinner for
Begin in Toronto Nov. 9. In
addition to the official <
events, Begin also met with
Jewish leaders and groups in
Ottawa, Montreal and
Toronto. He told 500 leaders
from 50 Jewish communities
in Canada that his reception

modestly acknowledges that
he is unaware of any other
endeavor that is as comprehensive as his undertaking in
the world today.
"We are a new country
only 30 years old. This offers
us the unique opportunity to
document Israeli art from its
very beginnings through the
primary source—the artist."
To date Freistadt has completed over 70 documentaries, each 12-85
minutes in length.
