for instance, earned his sustenance on the land.
But the trend away from the soil was inevitable.
The tanning of the hate of persecution not only
made the Jew more and more of a wanderer but
the legal codes made it Increasingly difficult for
Jews to own land. so that the once agricultural
Jew became perhaps the most urbanized Of all
peoples. Even then. the Jew carried with him the
fond memories of the earlier rustic times. If he
could be man of the soil no more. at least on
Shevuoth. he read the Book Of Ruth. which ap-
peased to degree an instructive nostalgia for the
simple life Of the great outdoors.
In Israel today, the story of the Book of Ruth is
being repeated and Shevuoth has again taken a
form closer to its earlier beginnings.
Something Of this must inevitably be carried
over to Jews ia all parts Of the world. for which
we should be truly grateful

In the course of his farewell
address, MIR. David Ben urion
said:
II have been greatly encour-
aged by the progress Of the Israel
Indep n d e n ce Bond Drive.
Through the Bond Issue we are
seeking to obtain a loan to estab-
lish new settlements and factories
and to give the new immigrants
the tools with which to rebuild
their lives and build up the en-
tire economy of the country.
1.-THE success of the Bond Issue
is vital for our future as fortress
of democracy and as construc-
tive and creative people working
for peace and for the betterment
of all mankind.
"As in the case Of the United
States. Israel is being rebuilt
through the devotion and the
slills Of its immigrants. We are
determined to continue our policy
Of unlimited immigration because
we have faith in the Jewish peo-
pie. because we look upon every
immigrant as an asset and not
liability. We believe that the Jews
Of America WILL through their
response to the 100000 Bond
drive. make it possible for US to
integrate t h csc immigrants. to
provide them with the land. the
factories and the necessary ma
chinerY to make them free and
productive citizens.
''The people of the State of Is
rael guarantee that the bonds will
be fully repaid because the Jews
of Israel have the capacity to
work and to create, because they
have courage, a pioneering spirit
and the will to succeed. Through
your partnership in our great con-
structive effort, we believe that
the historic aim of our people will
be achieved and the people of
Israel will become a free, secure,
independent people. a member of
the free society of nations, an
equal among equals in a world
Of peace, democracy and social
progress"
