SIOW-WP- OF H, S. VISAS Washington (JTA)—Stato Dc>artment officials denied this week my political significance to a (lowing of tho rate of granting .'isflfi to Israeli nationals to enter lie United Statot. A-report from Jerusalem said that In tho last few ilays tho Embassy has been telling 'smells that visas which they had men promised could no£ ho processed bi'catio tho United. States icin on travel of American nalionils to tlia Middle East had left the :.'rnl).is*y shorlhandcd.
Then ho told the Mouse: "If we obtained recognition from the United Nations or the great powis of tho right to defend our shipping we would regard this as nn adequate guarantee, too." He noted that the Israel nnny's objective u taking Slinrm el Sheikh was never territorial nc<|ulsl(lon, but lie secwlnr; of Israel's freedom rjf navigation. He stressed that lo stviel tho use of the port al Klnth was far more Important than tho uturc of the Ga7a Strip. On Gnza, he expressed agree-
with the proposal of Canada that a UN commission bo sent to make an on-the-spot Investigation of tho situation in tha territory. He asserted that Israel had neithc rthe right nor the desire to close the door to such a proposal, and expressed confidence that Israel's proposals would be found most appropriate for the welfare of the Inhabitants of the Strip, the refugees and Israel. (The Canadian Government Is opposed to the Imposition Of sanctions on Israel), Lester B. Pearson, Canadian Minister for External Affairs declared In a Interview. "Israeli forces," he, said, "should be withdrawn by all meant, but by voluntary action."
