Israel has grown and prospered in a most remarkable manner. Israels gross national product has multiplied untold times from its initial tiny base. and from 195065 it averaged an 11percent annual increase. Jewish immigrants have returned to Israel to establish cooperative and collective farming projects. and with agricultural production expanding at the rate of about 10 percent per year. the need for food imports will soon be eliminated. Already. threefourths of the nations food is homegrown. irrigated land has quadrupled. and cultivated land has doubled in the past two decades. and the value of agricultural production has increased immensely. The economy has expanded rapidly. the immigrants have been absorbed. the desert has been irrigated. and a parliamentary democracy has been assured. The countless accomplishments of Israel in achieving a viable. thriving economy and a true democracy deserve our praise and admiration. As former legislative and educational director in Chicago for the Steelworkers of America. and one who has always been keenly interested in the labor movement.
