This is so because of the spirit of Israels people. the spirit of venture that marks out the pioneer. the spirit of vision that comes from faith. the spirit of confidence that depends on mans capacity to remold the earth. Such cards of credentials will always be honored by the American people. Here is a country whose very population has doubled in 7 years and yet practices no barriers in immigration policy. Here is a new republic that in this time has increased its national income in a single year over 30 percent. even if its new citizens are more endowed with assets of the spirit than this worlds goods. This is the strength of Israel which cannot be lightly dismissed. The Israelis are devoted to their religious faith as a pattern of conduct in the course of national affairs. Their new immigrants blend their sense of exaltation with the old as . powerful. almost atomic. force of the human spirit. I do nt think that I can forget to pay my tribute on this occasion to the extraordinary record of generosity that is the sacrifices of my fellow Americans of the Jewish faith in their unparalleled contributions to the maintenance of this gripping cause. American Jewry have displayed a measure of sharing with their distressed coreligionists abroad that may well remain a model of charity for a century.
