European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 29, 1978, Darmstadt, Hesse                                P�9e the stars and stripes James Reston Friday september 29, 1978 Camp David a tremendous achievement former Secretary of state Henry Kissinger speaking As an historian has said some arresting things about the Camp David Middle East compromises that Are Worth some quiet reflection. He does not regard this conference As a Model for future diplomacy but nevertheless de scribes the results As a tremendous achievement and a tribute to Carter be Gin and Sadat. The ratification of this framework  he thinks will be painful and an gushing and in the coming weeks Many provocative trivialities and exaggerations will be expressed. But a profound historical process has started he believes and fit is Given a Chance to work both sides he insists will be living in a different world within six months. I d rather prove my profundity he re it Hafft Ken easy ui/in6 w1h him since Camp whip Marks in jest by telling you that there Are six things wrong with these agree ments that nobody else has seen and that could have done better but i regret to Tell you i can  his main Point As i understand it is that the areas of agreement reached at Camp David Are infinitely More important than the areas of disagreement. For example if the main elements of is Rael s military government Are withdrawn from the Gaza strip for five years and re placed by the establishment of self administration for the palestinian arabs even with israeli Security forces in pockets of these areas then Kissinger believes wholly new political and psychological situation will begin to develop. Don t forget he says the Israel shave never known peace and an Israel at peace with its most powerful neighbor Egypt will probably negotiate in a differ ent Way from an Israel that has never known How to live in  this was a Point president Carter emphasized time and again to president Sadat and prime minister begin when Bot Egypt and Israel were trying to get every thing they wanted reduced to precis terms in the first Days at Camp David. If they tried to get everything the wanted in Clear and unambiguous words Carter insisted nobody would get any thing. Better to be vague than sorry to keep the peace process going and leave the Liard disagreements for future negotiation. Despite this agreement to avoid Theston Iest barriers on the Road to peace both sides now have some practical decisions to take in order to implement their Compro Mises. In a remarkable press conference at Theben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv probably the Best press conference Given by any of the negotiators after Camp David israeli foreign minister Dayan said As far As i know this is the first time and i regard this As of supreme importance that the people of Israel Are con fronted with an actual peace plan and not something theoretical As in the past what will Israel agree to if the arabs Are one Day ready for a peace agreement i do not columns comments George will unjustified criticism of tuition foes sen. Daniel Moynihan s combative Ness May be As much characteristic As systematic. He was after All Irish before reacquired the convictions on behalf of which he employs his gift for disputation. In an Case his combativeness is displayed in a letter he circulated among the american Catholic Hierarchy after the Senate voted against tuition tax credits for parents wit children in non Public schools. The institutions associated with social Progress in american culture at this  wrote Moynihan Are overwhelmingly against us on this  in opposing Aid for parochial schools Moynihan said they were vindictive and the Carter administration was almost  our opposition was led by Southern senators because As the South became acculturated to Northern liberalism anti catholicism was the one antebellum trait which they were permitted to  Why be cause anti catholicism is one form of big Otry which liberalism curiously seems still to  my Reading of the Long occasionally testy often elegant debate in the Senate does not reveal bigotry on the part of Moynihan s worthy adversary Ernest Hollings d-s.c., or other senators. And Moyniha knows that the Public education lobby and its bureaucratic allies were moved primarily by avarice in their defense of the state s virtual monopoly on education. But Moynihan a Catholic gifted at look ing with subtlety below the surface of things expresses an anxiety shared by Many Catholic laymen when he Speaks of anti catholicism among what he is please to Call the institutions associated with so Cial  one of the affecting dramas of the Day i Moynihan s struggle to think Well of Liber als. This is a duty for new York senators but Moynihan would find it easier were i not the Case that As Peter Viereck says anti catholicism is the anti semitism of the  in an opinion against Aid to parochial schools Justice William Douglas cited As a source of reliable evidence about Catho Lic attitudes a vituperative anti Catholic Book comparable in spirit to the protocols of the elders of Zion. Planned parenthood a pro abortion lobby recently distribute to some College newspapers anti Catholic cartoons that belong to the Julius Streicher school of argument. In the 19th Century anti catholicism be came an american political movement and the spirit of the know nothing part was alive in a recent letter sponsored by various civil rights education and other Public interest lobbies. The letter warned that Aid to non Public schools might Foster viewpoints contrary to american  there in that Wispy accusation of in americanism is the old theme. Nineteenth Century nativism expressed itself inthe fear that unwashed immigrants infected with old world clericalism could never become real or integral Ameri cans and eventually would produce a demographic revolution swamping Ameri can  today anti catholicism involves less lurid even less conscious assumptions and rather obvious political motives. It is in part a manifestation of aggressive secularism in part a vague con tempt for old things in part an expression of a timeless dilemma. Half a Century ago in 1929, Walter Lipp Mann stated the anomalous position of churches and especially of the Church that considers itself the truth in corporate form in a pluralist society inwardly to their communicants they continue to As Sert that they possess the Only Complete version of the truth. But outwardly in their civil relation with other churches and wit the civil Power they preach and practice  for catholics this logical and Pych olog ical difficulty has been eased by the dilution of triumphalist assertions and bythe related development in the 1940s and 1950s, of a theory legitimizing an accommodation of catholicism to pluralism. The principal theorist was John Courtney Mur Ray s.j., who was washed in the surf of Southampton elevated to an almost unearthly glory a cover of time Magazine and accorded remarkable deference As an arbitrator of Good citizenship for catholics Ted Sorensen read him an advanced text of John Kennedy s Campaign speech to the Houston baptists. The anti catholicism that Moynihan de tests among liberals lacks the weight of older theories about the inherent instability of catholicism toward american Prin  this is to say no More notable Many of those who deprecate the role of catholicism in the formation of attitude about abortion and education have applauded Church groups that advocate the Liberal Agenda. C Washington Post recall any S.C. situation in the past when we were confronted with this realistic possibility of attaining a peace  not so incidentally one of the impera Tive needs of these historic two weeks at Camp David and what was said in Washington by Carter Sadat and begin to the Congress and the press is some kind of re Cord or White paper or at least a log of. When they met and what happened. Even the negotiators now cannot remember who said what to whom and when. Left to the press and the television and the reaction of politicians in Washington Tel Aviv and Cairo the Camp David con Ference is in danger of becoming a ques Tion of who won and who lost and where they All differ. But when historians look Back on Camp David their Are Likely to agree that the agreements were More important than the disagreements and that Carter begin and Sadat started something that will influence the history of the Middle East Long after All three of them Are gone from Public life. Sadat is in trouble now with the other Arab leaders because they think he has been unfaithful to the Arab cause. Begin has had a triumphant reception in Israel maybe because in the Short run he seems to have won too much. But both for different reasons have a least held things together. Sadat May think he can go it alone even if King Hussein of Jordan refuses to cooperate. Begin May think he is on the verge of a separate peace with Sadat and that he can keep defect control of the West Bank while giving up military control and allowing autonomy and self administration for the palestinian arabs but this probably underestimates what happened at Camp David. Too Many fundamental agreement shave been made about the Sinai the West Bank and Gaza despite the disagreements on the future of Jerusalem and other Points. Kissinger s judgment seems to be that a new series of fundamental even shave been put in order and that these events will now take Over maybe to the Surprise of the three principal states Anat Camp David. For a while now Kissinger says every body will be nit picking the Camp David agreements but they will be he insists nit picking them in a different world. Maybe for once he suggests everybody ought to shut up and take Pride in what has happened in the last few  c new York times the opinions expressed in the columns and cartoons on this Page represent those of the authors and Are in no Way Anutt p  As presenting the views of the Sta Sand stripes or the United states government
