In a world beset by confusion. aggressions. and subversions. in a world where the democratic ideal is so often under attack. it is an exhilarating satisfaction to call attention to one new nation that has from the beginning manifested its adherence to the ideas and ideals of a democratic society. It is also gratifying to know that this new nation has exhibited a generosity of national spirit that has solved a problem of homelessness for hundreds of thousands of people to whom it opened its doors in welcome. The great humanitarian service that Israel has rendered in converting desperate people from the category of "refugees" to that of upright. free citizens will always shine as a bright page in the history of our times. In saluting the State of Israel and extending to it our good wishes. I cannot help but draw parallels with the early history of our own country. the United States of America.
