Almost every one of these newcomers came penniless. almost hopeless. sick and dispirited. The new country welcomed them with open arms. gave them a chance to start to rebuild their lives. to become useful citizens. Care of the refugees who were scattered all over the world after the war was the moral and political responsibility of the free world. Tiny Israel shouldered a giants share of that common responsibility. We Americans have a source of satisfaction in knowing that we have aided Israel in this immense humanitarian task. For the past 2 years American assistance has enabled Israel to ease some of the problems caused by the refugees flooding her shores. Certainly. it is squarely in the American tradition to lend a helping hand to a nation engaged in such a momentous undertaking. Israel is not too concerned with her own problems to neglect her proper role in todays troubled world.
