I am convinced that history. looking backward. will single out this great achievement as one of the very few constructive episodes of our generation. Our generation has witnessed two terrible wars. depressions. revolutions. conquests and twice the terrible menace of world dictatorship. first by nazism and now by communism. It is against this background that we should assess the significance of Israel. its regeneration of a dispersed people. its mass resettlement of refugees. its successful struggle for independence and its resistance to invasion and finally. and above all. its advocacy of freedom in a feudal part of the world. It. may be asked by some. why we. concerned with defense and armament. should make provision in a mutual security program for the resettlement of refugees. Mr. Chairman. defense begins with people.
