2- Santa (Cruz Srnttnrl Thursday, July 13, 1972 autious Poreign-ISecactioini-To wkGoveim LONDON (AP) Sen. George McGovern's Democratic party victory evoked cautious, largely uncommitted reaction from European commentators, both left and right wing, but Arab newspapers slammed his pro-Israel stand. The Cairo newspaper Al Ak-hbar said McGovern and the Democrats had become "a mere pulpn. for Zionist and Israeli nolicies." McGovern was increasing his surt for Israel and riving "signs of retracting from his previous stand on Vietnam," the paper said adding that he was now walking to satisfy the American industrial-military complex. The authoritative newspaper said the Democrats' Middle East policy was "extremely regrettable because it is against history and threatens to engage the United Stales in another unethical war on Israel's side." In Beirut, Lebanese newspapers claimed McGovern's "lat-minute switch" on Israel resulted from a meeting with the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Yitzhak Rabin.

Al Nahfir said this development "should deepen the Arab conviction that America is Irrevocably aligned to Israel and strengthen the need for a crackdovn on American interests in the Arab world." In Damascus, Syria's ruling Sccialist Baah party, in its mouthpiece Al Baath, said this was "added proof that no American government can adopt an even-handed policy toward the Arab-Israeli Europeans were less categorical. A Moscow radio report stressed McGovern's antiwar platform on Vietnam. It said McGovern realized better than other leaders the need for domestic policy changes, but his proposals were not radical and "are only attempt to improve the capitalist system with the help of bourgeois transformations." For the Times of London the Democratic platform was "a truly radical program the sort of thing with which labor militants in Britain try to saddle their executive at every annual conference. "For good or ill, the Democratic donkey is "etting into battle with an albatross round Its neck." The Influential conservative daily felt the Vietnam and planks "may be more than many Democrats can swallow." Another conservative British paper, the Daily worried about McGovern's proposal to reduce American forces in Europe. "Any major withdrawal of American troops would mean the abandonment of the present forward flexible defense system," it said.

"It would increase dependence on the American nuclear guarantee but reduce its credibility. "It Is much to be hoped that President Nixon will be able for a little longer at least to prevent things being made so easy for the Kremlin." West German officials in Bonn adopted a wait-an-see at-titude. Chancellor Willy Branit and other leaders have repeatedly warned against the dangerous effects of unilateral U.S. troop cuts on the European balance of power. An informant said: "There is a great difference between what a senator and what a senator does.

Let's wait and see what happens." In Brussels, most commentators felt McGovern's chances of defeating Nixon were small. The Socialist newspaper Wallonie said: "It would have been possible for a Kenne dy, wit it Is much less so for a McGovern." La Meuse stressed thai McGovern was already softening Ws program. The Conservative Standard called his platform "Liberal but vague." Most Dutch newspapers hailed McGovern's win, but said he was vulnerable in the south and among Capites.
