Israel has been beset by her enemies and threatened with extinction from the first day of her statehood. Despite the fact that Israels resources had to be dissipated to permit her to maintain full military strength because of war clouds forever on her horizon. her achievements have been tremendous. The new State of Israel performed the herculean task of receiving. rehabilitating and resettling more than 900.000 immigrants. Her determination to irrigate barren and eroded soils and reclaim desert lands is paying dividends. for she now produces about 70 percent of her own food. She has transformed an essentially agrarian community into the most intensively industrialized economy in the Middle East.
