Pallt 7 THE STEERING COMMITTEE
Members of the Steering Committee have been desig nated in advance by the communities. All members have received special cards, whichl they are asked to bring with them. The selection of members was based on this formula:
Communities with Jewish! populations from 2,000 to 15 ,000 were asked to dcsign:lle one delegate; communities with Jewish populations between 15,000 and 40,000 were invited to name two delegates; communities with Jewish populations in excess of 40,000 were asked to designate three delegates; New York City has 15 delegatcs in view of its large Jcwis~ population. The eight regions of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds were asked to designate two delegates cach, Ilnd 25 individuals have been chosen from the country at large. In addition, the Commit~ tee includes seven national officers of the UJA.
This is the principal comlmittee of the Conference, Its business is three-fold: to chart American Jewry's responsi~ bility in 1955; to map the aims and the objectives of the United Jewish Appeal, and to consider campaign problems in relation to the UlA in 1955. Attendance by members is
vital to assure the broadest possible represclltatioll and ex~ pression of the views of Ame-rican Jewry,
Arrangements have been made 10 accommodate a limited number of delegates not on the Steering Committee wbo may wish to attend. The resc,lutions that emerge from this committee will be presented (l::Ir discussion and action at the Plenary Session, Sunday moming, in the Sert Room.

Together wi th all Americ8Ds ;you have been partners in the Ullio_ue venture in international cooperation which hae been taking place in Israel. History loII(P will record what the friendship of our great country has meant to the men, women and children ingathered from all parte of the world who today in Israel are struggling to develop that ne,., democretic State. We live in a time fraught with political and economic uncertainties, when free nation. of the world face per- ilous deys. It is a difficult time for any young nation to build its future. I remember the day. three years ago this week, when ve crossed the border at Ras-en-lTEI.koura from Lebanon into Israel. The crops that year. due to the prolonged drought. had been a failure. Israel had no reserves of food, fuel or fodder. You could not buy an o~on, a potatc. , an ounce of mest. butter or mar- garine. The country faced pressiDg short term debts uhich had to be met to avert defeult and protect its credit abroad. On the day we arrived the r ains begen. Israel in the next f ew weeks experienced its worst flood. Roads were washed out, po",er ,"'as cut off and thousaJlds still living in tents had to be evacuated.. It \'/8S a time of emergency. The first American grant of $63.500,,"::;) was 9Ut into action. With it. workiDg band in hand with the officials of Israel. we were able to buy the wheat. the medicine. the skimmed milk and other foods l'Ihich had to be obtained with greatest speed: to bring in the mOre -2- lumber for new hOr:l.ea, the fuel to create power for agriculture and for in- duetry; to meet the most pressing d)bts; and, to supply the cottoD, the \1001 ~ and hides for clothing and shoes. The friendship of America became a reality in those trying hours. I remember the day when our ship not maIIY weeks ago sailed. from Haifa. The Israel we 1eft was not the Israel which va had found in December three years ago. It was a. new Isreel, built stronger not only by the cOl!lbined ef- forts of your organization, of ell groups which duriD8' the intervening months had sht.red their moZl87 El.nd their friendship with the young Dation. Above all else, Isreel bed revealed to us the indomitable spirit of its men. its women and. its children who met disl>ster with self-sacrifice and courage. \11th de- termination and. hard work. vith faith in God. J.ty wife and I shell ever be grateful to our goverDIMnt and to the gov- erDIIlent aDd to the people of Israel for the privilege of having taken even a small place in this history in the m..~~. You, too, I E'm certain, have ex- perienced a feeling of satisfaction and pride for your part as Americans in this human drama thousands of miles away from our shores. One remembers watching the new land going under irrigation, seeing new wells being dug. the pipe lines moving on and on until the irrigated acreage was doubled. We recall the Yemenites at Yuval G~d making the huge pre- stressed concrete pipes big enough for men to walk in, ~elding the steel forms end handling the huge machines. And these were men who but a short time ago never had seen modern machinery. In the heart of the desert tociey great reservoirs wait for the water from the Yarkon River which daily comes nearer; the ne'1 d.elllB are preaerving the rains; the contoured land is stopping land erosion and the smE'll catchment basins along the hills are trapp~ the vater, mOre -3- letting it. seep into the earth to repleniSh the vells instead of being 108t in the sea. It is calculated th;>t Israel will need a dU!l8lil of lend under irrigation for each person - - 1,600.000 duname. They have reached the half-way 1:IBXk now. On these acres are belngplanted the crops which will reduce IsraelIs depend ence On foreign currency; cereals, peanuts, oil seeds, aU€8%' beets. flax. cotton; trees 8u9h as citrus. olives and carobs. The field crops ~nll pro duce next spring. It will be five or more years before the new trees come into bearing. They are investments in I srasl t. future. During the interim. food crops arc being produced in the rowe between the 70U1l& trees. The need for effective processing to extend the marketing season for fruits and vege tables, and to prepare 1'1 ber crops, haa been recognized and effort is being made to get the new plants established.. This will add to Israelis exports. In the hills of northern Guilee. one remembers the cracklin& n~es and the clouds of smoke rising high into the clear sq as the range lands vere being burned over. This 'V8.S the beginning of ~eration Cowboy sponsored by our Mission under which Israel is using American rangeland methois to build its herds of livestock. You ,,,ill find. cowboys in those hills todQ', young settlers riding and r oping, branding and handling new breeds of cattle, usiD& the hills trhich they have re- seeded with seeds grown in Israel, hills which tor years have been idle. The model ranch not only is self-supporting but dozens of YO\1ll& men are being. trained who tomorrev will furnish to Israel meat and hides, vool aDd milk.. From the main ranch house, one looks upon the Sea of Galilee, the Mount of Beatitudes and the ancient city of Kfar Nahum. The land of the prophets, of the C;-usaders and the Roman Legions to day adds a ne,., chapter in its long history. mOre _4_ Where the platos of the Kidron come to the foot of Mt. Carmel, the new plant which manufactures chemicals and fertilizers each daY ups its produc tion. Not long ago, the new cement factory near Ramle added ita output to that of the plant at Haifa and Israel ships began to c&rI7' brael cement into foreign markets. Through the enlarged port of Haifa, and at Jaffa, the flow of citrus exports baa stepped up: from Haifa north to Aceo, 1s fast becoming an industrial center. I can recall, too, that morning in a small v1l18i:e near Raders when the children came running to meet me. It was their job to care for the few chickena which the aettlellteut had recently ae as a miner who llUddeDly haa discovered a rich depoe1t of uranium. There was pride and hope In their Q7ee a8 the,y showed me their treasure: they had found their first egg. For theil, it was a beginning. their first step into a better tomorrow. Deep in the vastness of the Negev, protected by armed guards, American miners and geologists are working with Israel technicians. mapping and test iIli: known deposits of copper ani manganese. of ball clay, phosphates aId glass sands: searching for ne" deposits and for nev sources of water. The old slag dumps of Solomonls copper mines are there. The Bible still is a reference book to locate those ancient operations. The exploration work Is being pushed, economic extraction methods are being studied here in America. We watched hurdred.s of BedOUins slngiIlg together carrying rocks in rubber buckets made from worn out truck tires al they carved. a twiBting road out of the sheer toweri~ rock wall which forms the northern barrier of the Great Crater. Tbis ..,as the beginning of the ne.., road from the port of EJ..ath on the Red Sea to Beersheba. It is over this road that products ..,111 move north to the rail head. which dally gets closer to Kurnub to handle as vell as - mOre- ..- the output of the Dead Sea and the phosphates. No longer will it be necessary to travel the tragic road which leads through Scorpion Pass. IsraelIs engineers are building roads, getting re~ for the thousands of tourists from America who will want to visit the land of the Bible. Tod~ one may travel easily from Meggido across the Plains of Armageddon to the top of the Mount of Transfiguration, to the ancient ci~ of Bethshan where 4000 years of histor,y is revealed, to the valley where David fought Goliath, to Nazareth and to the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean. It is possible now to drift down the Jordan River through the towering forest of papyrus and see the Huleh Swamp belllg drained to make way for new farm lands. All this 1s part of Israelis dramatic striving for economic strength. Israel 1s a hard countrj whIch demands much of its cltlzens~ It is also a nation ... ith a great heart for those who need ita help. It has made mistakes. In its haste to feed. elothe, bouse and give medteal care to the thousands who have come to it, the while it tried to build its industry. its agriculture and fisheries, money has at times been spent unwisely. It is easy to look back no... and see those mistakes. To have done so during the days of terrific pressure is another matter. The mistakes 1n most in stances were honest ones. In Israel there i8 a high d~ee of integrity. that same pioneer spirit which helped to build America. Among her people are those too old, too worn out by years in concentration camps to carry their share of work. There are others who came expecting to find a lard of milk and honey. Too large a part of Israel's total population still is non-productive, due largely to the fact that they never have had a chance to learn productive skills. The task of integrating them into agriculture and. industry is difficult and ... 111 take more time. Israel has made good progress~ A casual visitor to the country is - mOre _ 6 impressed by the strides made in building. In the development of roads and hotela, i n the greater aburdanee of food. They are apt to overlook the fact that much of thi8 progress, while essential. will not add to Israelis gross national income. The basic iIIV'8stment in power. in irrigation and in lr:dustry is just beginning to pay off. It will take several years be fore theBe inveatments actually begin to sho.., their real .... alue. The cold fact remains that this fiscal year in order to lIleet its foreign budget re quirements Israel will need from outside sources about $125 for every ~ \loman and child in the country. This is a critical time in hral/ili. economic life. It 1& the twe when rather than 1888 effort should be made to sustain Ita foreJ«n exchange 1~ come for basic investment, to capitalize on what baa beeD done. and to continue neeessar,y Bocial welfare and educational work. Israel is more than a haven for refugees. It Is another link in the chain of democratic nations being forged in an area where democra~ means mach to the free vorld. The people in Israel - particularly the chUdren - look forward with faith to the time when their oountry viII no longer depend on outside help. It is written in the Talmud that the best way to do charity 18 to n:eke charity unnecessary. Israel need. continued support with free dollars. the kind of help your organization. with your leadership, is in a position to give. As I look back across the months, I remember Baroara, the young lShepherdes8. Far south of Beersheba in the land of Abraham there is a Dew settlement alone in the desert. hemmed about by barren hills. From theBe bills in the raiqy season, the water rushes down the canyohs into the valley. The settlers are trying to raise sheep. Our technicians have been helping them to buUd dams and catchment basiDs, to plant pastures. -mOre- J'RCI!: bpbael L8Y7 Director of Publicity , .~= ~~~'l'ERENCE Waldorf-Astoria Hotel FOR BELEASE: .AJ'rER 5:00 P,M, New York, N.Y.

The very number of the participating commun~tie8 1s proof of the broad fowruiation OD which this bond rests. and a dramatic tastlmony to the ceeseless effort 'dhich was required to bring about the "neeesaAi7 loan act ion in 80 lII8.JlY" different communi t ies throughout the United Stat es. The funding loan chenged the face of our foreign exchange debt picture. It :lmproved our foreiGn currency finances; it instilled new confidence in our eCOllOIllf -- both at home end abroad; brOUCht about eavings of millions of doll ~ rs and enabled us to shake off the gOle. of short-term debts, and the recurring crisea the1 created. At the meeting of December 10, 1933, I said: "I should like to take thi:3 op, ortunity to offer to you my solemn pledge thet every penny raised undl3r this effort would be used exclusively for the repayment of debts. and not for any other purpose whatsoever." I further said: "Let me also reaffirm the settled policy of the Israel Government, to which it has ste2dfast1y ~ her~3d in the last 18 months, to kBep 8 balenced foreign exchar.ge bu.dget and restrict expenditure to the level of income.' This pledge was carried out. All the :f'unds received by us from the :f'uncl1ng operation were used exclusively for the repayment of debts, and thrm1&hout 1954, 8S in the preceding year and 8 half, we have continued OD. the road of a balanced foreign exchange budget. As a result, we were able to cut our short-term debt in half. and bring about a remarkable improve;lElnt in the foreign exchange debt structure of Israel. The funding operation has now been concluded, and it is time therefore to uttempt a Bober and hard-headed evaluation of its impact not only on Israel but upon the United Jewish Appeal and. the American Jewish communities. mOre -J- Thanks to this operation, the credit stending of communities was en hanced, aDd vas shown to be fl'r stronger than an;yone bed previously thought. The communities haYe demonstrEited their capacity to borrow in time of need, for as long 88 five years. This is 8 trgendoua ssset, whether it is used in the Dext few years or not. The renewed and strengthened borrowing capacity of the communities 1s now an established fact. It is with particular pride tbat I Cl'll allO attention to the fact that the plan for the funding operation va. DOt thought up in Israel and then presented to American Je~ for acceptance aDd implementation. Here vas en inett'.nce where the blltiatiTe was taken by 701D' leadership, and the plan of action developed and shaped right here. On the other hand, a realistic eTBluatloD of the fuDdiQg operation ~nnot fail to teke Dotice of the fact that the operation to date ie still some eleven million dollars ahort of its goal of ?S million dollars, and that not ell COD munities, for reasons beyond their control. were able to get straight five yeer loans, so that a substantial portion of the proceeds would have to be repaid in less than five years. It i8 also important to be aware of the adverse effects on the fiow of cash to the W'A. C8l18sd by the practice in some collDlUDi ties to prepay the in. stcl.lilents due on the loan to their lo~l banks, or, in some cases, to set aside some funds by way of a reserve against the next payment due on the fundll16 loan. This simply means that the UJA gets less cashl that Israel gets less doll PIS: that the funding loan becomes. in effect. of a still shorter duration. If any single practice. short of an overall reduction in contributions, may be said to threaten to undo some of the good of the funding operation, it 1s mOre -4- this practice of prepaycent, or setttQg aside. I sincerely hope. therefore, that all the communities vill listen to the reC!.uest and counsel of the UJA in this respect, lest they be undoing with their left hand what they haYe attained with their right band. Having enumerated the achievements, as vell as the shortcomings of, the funding operation, I cp» say without any hesitation: A job well done. A truly reoarkable achievement, whether judged by the difficulties of at taining it in tluo United States, or by tluo !aprOT_nt it wrought in Israelis finance a. And ,.et, the Tery succa•• of the operation should put us in Israel, and you here, on guard against the temptation to misconstrue the function of the proceeds of the funding operation. and pool them together \1i th other receipts from the UJA, end S8Y with satisfaction, -lsreel had received in 1954. 80 much money. - lie must DOt forget that the proceeds of the fundilJg operation did not. aDd do Dot. enable Israel to spend ODe penny more for e:ny ne\1 requirements. that eV817 dollar from the proceeds of the funding operation went - 88 it had to go by our undertAking to you - for the re p~ent of debts. Neither you Dor ve can be aatiafied simply with the remoYal from our path of the obstacle of short term debts. We must vigorous17 continue the UJA annual campaigns to mobilize still larger sums needed for the construc tive work that will lead us forward on the road to ecoDomic independence. Let me nov turn to a brief report on our progreu along this road, and indicate the tasks 2Ild problems which face us ehead. mOre PART II The current year has marked the steady growth of our economy. It has been a year of intensive work, and of gratification, The efforts m2de since 1948. the funds invested. the gift-dollars provided since statehood. have at long lest begun to bear fruit. The Israel of ~~~ and the Israel of only a few years ago are strikingly different. \'That are some of those differences? L'!?k at the food picture. Within six 3"ear., our agricultural productlon has lIIore than do'"..lbled. Gone are the bitter shortages. The .tores are full of produce -- Israeli produce. lie are growing all the vegetablelll, all the fruit. and all the da!Z7 and poultry products which we need. For this. thanks tIUSt be given to the Jewish Agency and Its ~lcultural colonization department. and I need not tell you that the Agenq-Is main source of income is the UJA. Our farmers are not only 8Uppl.y1ng IDOre of the needs of our consumers; th87 are also contributing to the effort for more end more exports. In the past year. eight aDd a half million cases of citrus were exported, yielding the country over 32 million dollars in foreign excbange. \1e have also learned that citrus is not our only good export crop. Particularly stri.k:1:og is the story of the humble peanut: almost unknown to our farmers Q few years ago, its crop this year will reach 15,000 tons, more than half of which will find its way to EUl"'opea.n markets. adding a. few million dollars to our earnings and savings. We hope to increase our peanut's acreage in the coming few years. mOre - 6- And there is cotton. To me it is a thrill to be able to report that cotton planting is no longer an exneriment but a genuine success. British experts have reported that our cotton compares favorably with the best in the world in qual itT. and aqy agriculturSllstin Israel can tell you that our cotton yields are almost miraculous. I UBe the word advisedlYi for to me it 4# is a miracle to Bee our own home-grown cotton, '!llanted in rich Israeli 8011. nurtured by Israeli lands, caressed by the WE~ Israeli sun, and finally spun and woven in Israelt mille. Cotton acreage 18 being rapidly expanded a!ld it 18 our hope grounded in science. that about five million dollars in foreign currenc,y will be saved in Israel cotton crops annually within the next few years. Agrleul ture is not simply a question of crops and land. It is also a question of people. New crops have been introduced in the land, but ve have had even more spectacular reaul ts in introduci.ng new people to the land. Close to 30.000 families have gone onto the land since statehood. Shop keepers and small artisans, from seventy COUIltr1es of the Diaspora. have become. in Israel. dirt farmers, and are learning to like it. They are b~ coming rooted in the soil and are establishing a new generation of settlers and yeomen. And vater has been brought to the land in an ever-increasing flow. While in 1948. about 60,000 acres were under irrigation. in 1954. about 200,000 acres will be irrigated -- a better than threefold increase. This year of progress. 1954. has seen irrigation works tn the hills of Galilee put into operation. and for the ii-rst time. n".lI!J9rous hill sett1~ ments along the northern frontier are receivi.ng vater in substantial quantities. The proverbial rod of Moses is being stretched over Israel. in the form of hundreds of wells being drilled by modern equipment. and great reaches of barren land becoming fertile. The most important of all irrigation projects. -mOre- - 7 - that of the giant first Negev- Yarkon river pipeline. haa reached the sta&e when we mq say definitely that it w111 go into operation by the fall of 1955. when a life-giving flood of water viII be diverted over aevent,y miles to the parched 8011 of the Negev. Just as our farms are utilizing more vater, BO our industry is eon suming more electricity. In 1950, Israeli industry consumed 140,000 kws. hours of power, while in 1954, our factories utilized 230.000 kws. hours. Ue have attracted hundreds of new private enterprises. The Government investment centre baa approved close to 700 enterprises in t he past four years, and 450 of these are already actively eDg8€ed in production. These enter prises and 1Il8.DY' local industries are producing scores of ne... products, such as paper, asbestos pipe, masonite, corrugated car\onB. etc. Nev manufactured items like tires, cement, plywood and glass, have been added to our export lists. The shelves of our own shops, the display windoW's of stores in 1Da.Il3' countries hold more and more products of Israeli labor and Israeli craft. These products are greatly improved in design and, to me, there is a real triumph in the recent news item that Israeli artisans have carried bome from the fame We are also carving mineral wealth out of our hllle1des, and are in vesting millions of dollars to extract the rich resources of the Dead Sea. fhe phosphates from our earth, and the potash from the sea, are the basts for our fertilizer indust~, which is not only meeting our requirements in some of the most important fertIlizers, but is also able to start export operations. You have, I am sure, heard of our heavy water experiments and our other work in connection with atomic research. While these experiments are in -ItOr~ -8_ their initial atages. they teatH,. to the faet that w. have an lmprelaive roster of 8cient1ats. of whom we are proud. Of courle, there 1. alway. room for more 8cientists, because we realize that they bold the key. of progre8. and of plenV. The gains which I have just d.lertbed are reflected in Iaraella balanee of payment. which 1. the yardetlck for our economic indepeDdence.

Not onl7 do we baT. to eart'7 unaQODOIIlo defelUle 8xosmlture. but we have to continue the effort to integrate fully the maS8sa of immigrants who have come into tarael since statehood. Thia effort requires time, partic ularly in view of the lack of farlll~ aDd other aleUl. whicb characterize the recent wave. of 1IIIItgratlon.

This 1a a debt which world Jewry owes the new ••ttlers. For we have undertaken a solemn obligation to help establisb them on firm foundational to help them stand straight. to help them become 8elf-support~ members of society. We have embarked upon a bold prQgram of conquering the desert. Ve cannot stop ttat program or we will r,gre88,.

I, therefore, call on American Jewish communities to give p'k'lor1ty to the UJA,for the claims of the UJA are the claims at iDlDigration 8l1d rehabllitation, the human claims of bunger, danger and hopelessness. They are the claims for tll!l elementary right of Jews to live the life of free ~eople on Jewish solI in Israel -- the only 80U on which the exiled, the destitute and the disfranchised are allowed to settle: the only soil to which they are welcome!

If our peo'J)le are to live a8 human beings a8 they move, vllly-nill.7. into this cen~-y the;" mu.st have !J.elp. Since the Arab. swept in the seventh am eighth canturie$ and MohaJrmedani8m took over the North African world. the Jews of theee lands have lived as aecond class people, a tolerated because useful minority whoae inferiority was DeTer in doubt to the ruling population among whom they lived aod. more important. eT8D, to themselvea. Emancipation began to come to these lands with the ent17 o~ the West _ and the degree of emancipation already achieved in each aTea ia the greater, the longer ago that entry occurred - Algeria in 1830. Tunisia in 1881, Morocco in 1906. Emancipation came to the whole population of theBe areas and the Jews were not excluded from its benefits bu.t they started from further back aDd they still have a longer vq to go. It 18 clear that in the preva11iDg currents of this decade the gap must be cloled fast if the Jews are not to fall further beblDCl al they are shipI.wed by the crosscurrents of the :nat1onallst movements and the French administration. Since our work 1n these Moslem countries 1s thus a race for the future, we concentrate on the children. It i8 no lo~er news to American JeWish audiences. &8 it vas four or :five years 8&0. that living as & native Jew in these backward Moslem countriea 1s a compost of sheer p~s1cal miser,y and human degradation, that when he is buried, the law guarantees to the private exclusive interment of his corpse in more cubic feet of earth than he ever enjoyed in cubic- space above the grown -mOre- - 6- as a sentient, broathiQg being, jammed with all hie family lnto a one room hovel in the local ghetto that Is a compound of catacomb, newer, prison and slum. lIor 1a it 8S startling aa American audience. once found it, to hear of the fantastic infant mortality and child doath rates - measurei, in tho absence of vital statistics, b.1 the fact that only half of the circumcisioDs recorded in the rabbinical rcghtcra showed up again as bar mitzvahs thirteen years later. Which leaves out altogether of course, the deaths in the first SCTen days.

Some of you heard ~ report last year in which I strcssed the fact that in French North Africa. perhaps more than in an,y other area vhere JTC employs UJA funds, thoBe fw::ds scrve as a catalytic u;ent rather than as the 80le source of help to Jews. Working throu£h established locsl organiza tiODS, J:DC has been able to c:hannel' UJA. funds so as to !'Ull into their wako - IZOro - 7 - proportionally incr easing amounts of local and governmental funds con tributed to theBe same local organizations for medical and educational end child feeding programs. The Alliance Israelite Universellet which for 90 yeara has been the foundation stone of secular education for Jeys in Moslem countries and to daY baa a school network serving 50.000 Jewlah children in 7 such countries. 18 the largest of these organizations. ~ of its expenditures In Morocco come from French government sources. Each year the Alliance increases the number of children it servee tn addU lonal achool buildings provided by the French _ but if It t. to catch up with the backlog of aehool 8&8 children for whom DO facilities are yet available, It must haY_ .are UJA funds to help it make that forvard IIpW't. It must alao }]aye those fuDcia, and coax. l)er8U8de end cajole the authorities to contribute an evan more disproportionate amount of its total educational budget to the Jev1sh po-pulation sbrply to keep up with the in. creasing numbers of Jevi.sh chUdren who each year live to reach school age because the health organization Ose 18 steadily ehDpping away at the infant mortality rate. again using a combination of UJA. governmental and locally contributed funds. Ort, with its seventy- five year history of vocational training for Jew's in Europe haa in the past five years likewise extended ita program into Moslem countries. One curious by-product of ORT activities in Morocco was a request from a local. Arab organization for OliTls help in setting up similar vocational training for Arab 'boys. This is by-product; the product is the slowly increasing number ,r Jevish youngsters who formerly would have been l)8ddlers in the Mellah who are today machinists in the railroad roum houses or carpenters. meehanics and electricians in the booming industries - 8- of Casablanca. But _tme is pressi ng and school capac! ty 1e limited and investment In new buildings takes more money than Is available. So CRT has turned to supervised apprentieeshlp training, supplemented b,y evening courses to make good the ~eflclencle8 in readlng~ writing and arithmetic tmposeJ by lack of school facilities ten years ago. This program, begun only two years ago, Is the fastest graving and most quickly effective tool at CRfIS commend in North Africa tod.ay. Wi th an eye on the future that beckons in Israel ani a deep concern for the ·orthodox traditions that t>8rmeate 80 large a. segment of the Jewish po~ ulation in Moslem lands. organizations like Ozar Hatorah and Lubavltch con cent:rate on provldln« Hebrew religious education to an ever 8roandtng number of children. For similar reasons Allianee bas in recent years added secular Hebr~w education to ita curriculum. All this work is hopeful, all this work is productive, all this work is expa:rning - bu.t it does not begin to be eno~h, because in the first in st~:e the funds are not enough. There are other reasons, too, but in the tagllne of the old Joke, if you haven't got the money the other reasons are not 1.mportant. There is an urgency here however that transcends the wisecrack: and lnakes it impossible for us to satisfy ourselves with that answer. IIFor at lIlY back I ah.. ""s hear 'I'1me I s winged footstep hurrying near. n Wl'otl:!: the poet. Time 18 running out for the Jewa of North Africa. All our work, all our as~1rat1on, our hopes, our fears, our plans for the future must be measured by that palpable fact _ a fact that calls on us 80 to determine our human1 tar ian contribUtions to the UJA as to make them the l;tcta of statesmanship to which I referred. The growi~ stability of the Statl'" of Israel an! the unstoppable rielJ:¥: curve of .Arab nationalism are a pull and a push -mOre - that operate in the same direction -- the eventual movement of the majority of the Je~l ish populations of these eountrielJ to Israel. For we dare not permit ourselves the luxury of assuming -- pleas in€; and natural though such an 8soumption may be for us who beve been raised in American history and American tradition -- that the nationelist movements of these Ar ~ b countries pre democrptic movement s in the western sense of the term and will work themselves out in political and social ~tterns that, so far as the Je ~s ~e concerned, will follow the history of our OYn Declaration of Independence. I have no intention of discussing French policy but I think it is clee that any person of good will. particu1t.lrly if he is a Jew. must hope that moder ~ te Bnd intelligent French and Arab i nfluences will be, permitted to work out a. progressive solution of the present cr isis al~ng sGmew~t the lines t~t the United Stetes and the Philippi nes found ~or themselves. The Q.uestion is how much time do we dispose of and what shall we do with it. Despite the current turmoil in Tunisia and Morocco I think tfe have some years. I hope we shall h$ve even more time than I think. What we shall do with it depends very largely (In you -- and on the Jewish communities to ,·,hfch you \till be returning from this conference. Given the funds, Isr ael will use the time to prepar e for a sUbstantial annual regular planned migration from North Africa in an orderly fashion that will move the maximum possible number from the outlying rural areas of Mor occo where the threat to security is greatest. And these are precisely the people who, given ade~u8te preparetion, in Morocco and in Isreel, can go not to Meabaroth or to un~ployment in the towns but directly from Moroccan village to Heifp dock to agricultural settlements end f arm settlement. Experi~ente already carried out with this arrangement heve ~oved that it cen work. Given the funds, \-Te shall use the time in North Africa to expand the -10- school networks for seculBr and Hebrew end vocational training, to expand the OSE oervicas in breadth nnd in depth -- to cover more areas and to serve more )eople in each area: whole families SG well 8S the children and t.heir mothers. so that the peopl e who go to Iorael will be heal thy. reedy. and able to m<-!;:e their contribution to t~t very growth cf national productivity 2nd strength nn which Israel's capacity to absorb more people depends. For Israel needs these peo~le as much 80 they need Israel. The Jews of the Moslem I pnds are t!18 one :!? r E'cticabl e source of the Iprge additional po"OU.letion that Israel must still hPve to m~ its uncultivated areas and thus its whole economy viable. But they must be healthy, not sick, liter a te. not ignorant, ~uelified to work Fnd not luftmenschen. That is the task that awaits us. i'!ill we meet that ch.cJllenge7 Several ml')nths 0&:0 an earthquake rocked ~ city in Algeria aDd there was an outpouring of eid from allover the world.

All of this of c~urse wes rightly done and the thousands of victims of that North Afric~~ earthquake were greatly helped thereby. The hundreds of thousends of J ews in North Africa face a deeth, and a misery as grinding as death, thPt is no less sure for being slower than being swallowed in the opening of the efl_rth. :But the world does not pour out its aid to these hundreds of thousands -- not even ~ world.
