After touring the James F. Byrnes International Center, Fraser was escorted to the Rut loHrfo Pharuil Via AVVttlWI^V vuupvi VV1IVI t 11V fielded questions from the Columbia media during a news conference. Appearing nervous, Fraser stuttered and stammered his way through the opening question ^ before settling down. During his talks in Washington, Reagan urged Fraser to contribute troops or logistical support in the Sinai peacekeeping mission, an situation which Fraser j described as a "highly-1 charged political issue." There are two reasons for ^ Australia's holdout. One is - the demand of the Australian people who insist that their governement concentrate on problems within the country. THE SECOND REASON is th(? the close trading that goes on between Australia and the Arab states, who remain g hostile to a peace effort " between Israel and Egypt. Canada had not yet joined the force either and Fraser indicated he and Trudeau had discussions about the the GAMECOCK b the student newspaper of the University of South OiroKni and is published three times a week on Mondays, Wenesdays and Fridays during the fal and spring semesters and once weekly on Wedflfe nesdays during both summer sessions with the exception of university holidays and examination periods.

"On the other hand, I believe there are substantial arguments both for and against Australian involvement. The attitude of the other countries, the composition of the force: these are some of the pvuvvnv.v(Jing 11119MUU. "There are Australians who believe our preoccupations and concerns and energies should be directed elements to take into account." A decision on the Sinai force is expected in a few weeks, according to the prime minister. The decision will be made by his 14member cabinet. Fraser's determination will probably have some impact on the United States' current patrolling of the Indian Ocean with B-52 aircraft and Navy ships. The prime minister relies heavily on the United States for security. "We all know that there is no such thing as a free lunch; Western _ 1 1 j i ? cuuuiries snouia aiso Ii/* 1 A ! H recognize that in the long run there is no such thing as a free ally," Fraser said during his speech. Fraser made several references to the need for a strong United State. "The American nation has carried a huge burden in defense of freedom over the last four decades," he said. "Its shoulders are strong. But morally and materially the burden must be shared, shared by other democracies which which have grown wealthier and more powerful behind the protection you have provided, and in the case of Western Europe, as a result of the economic help you gave in the immediate post-war years." HE ALSO STRESSED the North-South stalemate as f Wn i/An iiavs oiiuaviv/u wuu c tuuilll iCd could not communicate in different parts of the world. "If we fail," Fraser said, "the effects are unlikely to be immediately catastrophic, they may not be felt this week or this year.
