These 11 years have been momentous not only for the tremendous effort that the people of Israel have made to insure the stability and viability of the state. but also for the extension into that area of the principles of free government. The Western powers must surely realize how great is their gain by the establishment of a democracy in that heretofore barren area. a democracy enhanced by technological knowhow. by a people literate and energetic. There were those who. like false prophets. predicted that the little state would not survive the heavy burdens of immigration. defense. the lack of raw materials. the sea of hostility that surrounded her in that area. This l1th anniversary of Israel marks how wrong they were. It should gladden the hearts of all Americans that this little state has proved its worth. for there are parallels in the histories of these two countries which tighten the bonds of sympathy and understanding.
