WASHINGTON (JTA) -.
The Ford-Kissinger policies
toward Israel were sharply
attacked by former Defense,
Secretary "James R.%
Schlesinger here ori May 4.
He said ''It is improper-per¬
nicious -^- to blame the fail-"
ure to achieve a settlement
(in the Middle East) on the
one nation,prepared'to ac¬
cept a settlement," and ob¬
vious allusion to the Ford
Administration's open criti¬
cism of Israel's alleged fail¬
ure to offer initiatives for
peace. Schlesiriger-made his
remarks in ah address at the

" ism? To the recognition of-
state entities? It is improper
"^ pernicious — to blame the
failure to achieve, a setlle-
'ment' on the one nation pre-
i pared to accept'a settlement.
That' is an' improper judg-
<ment."* Schlesinger  added
thafif tfie U.S. "is to be the
guarantor of freedom it must
be - ^prepared    to ' support
democracies"  because' "if
we are not prepared to sup¬
port-democracies, we must1
ask.whor will.we support?"  ,

tary balance" because it is
"an indicator ol American
steadlastness" after the dif-
iiculties ol the U S in South¬
east Asia and Africa. Schles¬
inger said. He noted that
Israel is "'highly dependent"
on the U.S '-far more than
the Israelis expected'after
the 1}H>7 war"' This.,he said,,
put the US.ina position to
extract concessions from
.Israel but' he' was-~"con-»
cerned" by the' undermining
oi American moral support
Jor Israel and the "parallel
tactics" employed by. the■•
U.S.'in Southeast Asia.
