I am indeed honored to take this opportunity to join with my colleagues in saluting the new State of Israel in its celebration of its fifth anniversary. and welcome the occasion to applaud the splendid social and economic gains which have been made through the efforts of its citizens to live honorably and courageously among the free peoples of our world. We are all aware of the tremendous accomplishments that have transpired in Israel since it declared its independence on May 14. 1948. Just think for a moment of its immigration. From that day until December 31. 1953. 707.650 immigrants entered this gallant republicmore than doubling its population to 1.450.000 persons. We know of the great achievements in agriculture. and how a people of the book have been readily converted into scientific farmers. The greatly increased farm outputs are truly inspiring in these accomplishments.
