This is a time for making sure that our national policy toward Israel keeps to the generous and helpful direction set during the Truman Administration. so that the courageous new country. with its ancient traditions and its strong moral purpose. may form a center of both spiritual growth and material prosperity for the discouraged and impoverished region of the Middle East. As. with the Jewish people. we recall the Biblical tale of oppression in the land of Egypt. let us work with the Jewish people to make sure that no such authoritarian rule. no Communist or other dictatorship. shall prevail in that region. and that no nation or race shall oppress another.. We must do all that we can to open the channels_ of trade. of travel. of immigration and emigration. Political freedom is freedom in name only so long as it does not include freedom of trade and freedom of movement. Our American immigration laws should be liberalized and equalized so as to admit more refugees from eastern European nations. and particularly from Rumania. where the need is particularly pressing.
