but you, Segal and those others
who aspired for the Minehaha
Club, keep climbing in the dark
ness. Where have we Jews to
climb to, since we're already
there socially?"
l thanked Mr.. Maccabaeus, say
ing: what you've been telling
me makes a good Chanukah col
umn. But, Mr.. Maccabaeus, how
can a guy climb up into the isotope
business without social contacts
in clubs like Minehaha, as we are
told by that American Jewish
Committee?"

vice-president of $100 million dol
lars worth of isotopes. That's it"
THE WAY Mr.. Maccabaeus
looked at me, through an d
through, deep down into my poor
soul, was awfully embarrassing.
Then he said: "Segal, you just
don't understand what being Jew
ish means, though you are a Jew
ish columnist, so to speak. You
and all those others want to be
taken up socially. Why not start
by accepting yourself socially first
of all? You really don't know your
selves as Jews"
What do you mean, Mr.. Macca-
baeus?"
''I mean that as Jews you al
ready stand very high socially d. &.
have been standing that high
through the thousands of years.
BY understanding this you accept
yourself socially, and that's really
the main thing. I mean social
standing in the sense of being high
of heart, mind and of history, and
Jews are that high if they know
themselves. Chanukah itself Sug-
gests your social importance.
whats Chanukah to do with it,
Mr.. Maccabaeus?"
"CHANUKAH", he replied,
suggests one of the high places
of Jewish social standing in the
world. We got there far ahead of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Sons, too.
Chanukah is a remembrance of
the Jew rising to the highest place
of social distinction +. of the
Jew proclaiming one of the free
doms long, long before there was
any such freedom-freedom of re-
ligious practice, that is. Yes, Chan
ukah is a memorial of the Jew
standing up to fight and die for
this freedom. almost 1000
years before the American Revol-
ution sprang up toward the same
freedom.
Yes, that's your inheritance, Sc
gal, and Chanukah is the testi-
mony of your being one OF the
heirs. We are of the oldest fami-
lies of human society, but you,
Segal, and those others aspire ra-
ther to join up socially with the
much later arrivals of the gilded
Minehaha Country Club"
MIR. MACCABAEUS went on to
tell me of the battle he and his
kinsmen fought for the freedom OF
religion to get back the temple
from those who had stolen it for
their own gods. 'There were five
years of that, Segal."

CONTINUED

all benefit from peaceful con-
ditionS.
2. Trade. The most important
single factor in the economic
development of Latin America,
is trade with the United States.
This trade is not a one-way
street. Virtually, every dollar
paid for Latin American prod
ucts comes back to the US. in
Latin American purchases Of
our products.
That is why President Eisen-
hower's policy urging the grad
ual selective reduction of arti-
fetal barriers to trade is so
important.
.. Capital. In addition to mar
kets, Latin America needs cap
ital. The major source of capi-
tai is not government grants or
loans but private investment
from at home and abroad. For
every dollar of government
capital which has been invested
in Latin America in the nine
years since World War II there
have been four dollars in pri-
vate capital.
Unless citizens Of a country
are willing TO invest at home,
foreign capital will be reluc-
tant to come in. That is why
it is essential for the Latin
American countries to adopt
policies which will encourage
not only private investment
from abroad, but also from
their own nationals.
{. Technical Assistance.
Latin America needs technical
assistance in many fields. The
programs of the US. Technical
Assistance Program which
observed in the Caribbean
countries are remarkably effec-
tive. Our relatively small finan-
cial contribution pays big divi-
dends in increased productivity.

way. For 20 years, a great
project has been in the develop
ment stage - the Inter-Ameri-
can Highway running from the
Mexican Border to Panama.
We contribute two thirds Of the
cost and the countries through
which it passes each contrib
utes a third.

Because Of a lack of funds,
the highway would not be COM
pleted for at least IS years, at
the rate it was going. On my
return | became an enthusiastic
supporter of the accelerated
program. The President asked
the Congress for funds to &C.
compliSh that objective.
Both houses of Congress
have passed legislation author
izing the expenditure Of IS mil
lion dollars to complete the
highway within the next three
years.
| know of no single action
the United States could take
which would be of greater bene-
fit to this area than the compile
ton of the highway. 1t would
open up large areas for devel-
opment that have been previ-
ously inaccessible. 1t would
bring the countries through
which it passes much closer
together.
And it would mean that
thousands of American tourists
will travel to Latin America and
thousands Of Latin Americans
to the United States.
They'll De Friends
HE lnter-American Highway
is a tangible symbol Of the
main point underlying this arti-
Gle and the previous one: my
complete conviction that when
the people of one country get
a chance to know those of
another, they can and will be
friends.
An adequate system of trans
port and communications can
do more than anything else to
bring people closer together
in business relations, in politi=
cal sympathy and in cultural
understanding.
This much | also know. All
the treaties of friendship in the
world aren't worth the paper
they are written on unless there
is a will on the part of the
parties to keep them. And
while the terms of treaties may
come from the heads of diplo-
mats, the will to keep them
must come from the hearts of
the people.
