"The land of Israel was the birth
place of the Jewish people, said
the Jewish declaration of independ-
ence. Here their spiritual, re-
ligious and national identity was
formed. Here they achieved inde-

national and universal significance.
Here they wrote and gave the Bible

The declaration told of the exiles
from Palestine, the centuries-old
struggle of the Jews to regain the
land of their fathers. 1t recalled
the first Zionist Congress of 1897,
inspired by Theodore Herzl's vision
of Jewish state, and said the right

mandate given Britain by the
League of Nations.
The Nazi holacust which engulfed

Our call goes out to the Jewish

tert of the declaration OF

TEL AVIV, Palestine, May a.
The tert OF the declaration OF
independence of the JeUiSh state:
The land of Israel was the birth
place of the Jewish people. Here
their spiritual, religious and ma
tional identity was formed. Here
they achieved independence ano
created a culture of national and
universal significance, Here they
wrote and gave the Bible to the
world.
Exiled from Palestine, the Jewish
people remained faithful to it In all
the countries of their dispersion
never ceasing to pray and hope for
their return and restoration OF thelr
national freedom.
Impelled by this historic assocla-
ton, Jews Strove throughout tne
centuries to go back to the lana OF
their fathers and regain statehood
In recent decades they returned IN
their masses. They reclaimed a
wilderness, revived their language
built cities and villages, and estao-
lished a vigorous and ever growing
community, with its own economic
and cultural life. They sought
peace. yet we're even prepared 10
defend themselves. They brought
blessings of progress to all lnnao-
itants of the country.
In the year 1897, the first Zionist
Congress, inspired by Theodore
Herzl's vision of a Jewish state
proclaimed the right of the Jewish
people to a national revival IN their
own country.
This right was acknowledged by
the Balfour Declaration of Novem-
ber 2, 1917, and reaffirmed by the
mandate of the League OF Nations
which gave explicit international
recognition to the historic connec-
ton of the Jewish people with Pal
estine and their right to reconstl-
tute their national home.
The Nazi holocaust which en-
quilted millions of Jews in Europe
proved anew the urgency of the re-
establishment of the Jewish state
which would solve the problem OF
Jewish homelessness by opening the
gates to all Jews and lifting the
Jewish people to equality in the
family of nations.
Survivors OF the European catas-
trophe as we'll as Jews from Other
lands, claiming their right to a life
of dignity. freedom and labor. anc
undeterred by hazards. hardship'
and obstacles, have tried unceas-
ingly to enter Palestine.
In the Second World War, the
Jewish people in Palestine made
full contribution in the struggle o.
freedom loving nations against the
Nazi evil. The sacrifices Of theil
soldiers and efforts of their workers
gained them title to rank with tht
people who founded the United
Nations. On November %, 1947
the General Assembly of United
Nations adopted a resolution for re-

Representatives of about 50 Or
ganizations were present to put
their groups on record for extension
OF the trade program without Grip
pling amendments. The group was
to hear former Undersecretary Of
State Will Clayton address lunch

Representative Forand Of Rhode
Island, chairman of the House
Democratic caucus, told reporters
earlier that under the COP plan
State Department officials would
be so hamstrung that they could
not negotiate" with other nations
over tariffs. The Democratic CAUCUS
is an organization of all House
Democrats.
Minority Leader Rayburn called
it "a crippling move" and added:
Anything that cripples the recipro-
cal trade agreements is dangerous
not only nationally but interna-
tionally."
