Born out of the utmost adversity. the Israeli nation has grown and strengthened itself during these short 8 years in a manner which has astounded the world and heartened all believers in democratic institutions.

In addition to the natural drawbacks of their desert land and their unavoidably inflated rate of immigration. the Israeli people must contend along their entire frontiers with hostile Arab neighbors. In their economic relations with other countries they are severely handicapped by the boycotts and restrictions of the Arab bloc. which sits astride the Suez Canal. Under such conditions the determination of the Israeli people to demonstrate to all the world the permanence of their magnificent accomplishments has remained unwavering.
