which make life fulsome and healthful for them
It has become rather commonplace to call each years
drive "cruca" drive But the fact remains that this
years drive is than usually crucial Recently Hrsh
Kaplan executive director of Jewish Community
Council disclosed that several large agencies are thnkn
of withdrawing from United Jewish Welfare Fund
because we consistently fail to meet our Obligations
If that happens the whole pattern of federated giving
which we developed panstakngy over the years Will
fall to pieces We will be beset with individual fund-ras
ing campaigns coming after another n1cklng ana
doaring us to DEATH Is that what we want?
Because of this threat Phoenix quite literally is IN the
national spotlight this year. The news that agencies are
thinking of pulling of Welfare Fund was carried
prominently in Anglo-Jewish newspapers all over the
country Other communities will be watching to see Wha
happens here Will Welfare Fund hold together or
won't it? This years campaign will tell the tale Our re-
putation as an organized Jewish community rests upon
it.

The Golden Door

It is an encouraging ign perhaps that the great debate
the Refugee Relief Act of 1858 has now n
passing stage Liberal members of Congress are
blaming Scott Mcleod administrator of the program for
its failure and Mcleod needed into retorng IS blaming
Congress for having made the law so cumbersome tnat IL
is impossible to administer efficiently.
The unhappy truth that the stated purpose OF the law
has been defeated 1t osensibly designed to admit
214 600 refugees by 1856 Only 17,OOOodd vsas have
been granted and only 13O00odd immigrants actually
have come the U. S. And Mcleod now admits that the
goal of PA, 900 by 1856 is unattanable.
It doesn't much matter who at fault. What matters is
that the public will has been hwared and that at last
the people in Washington beginning to wrlgge under
the pressure of public opinion evidenced by the brisk
passing of the buck back and forth.

gan to take effect years ago, and
it has gathered momentum as time
has gone by. All over our country
new efforts are being made in in
tergroup education.
Our interest is being aroused in
the background and experiences
of people who are different from
us. And as we learn about them,
they cease to be strangers whose
"differentness" arouSes our fears.
They are familiar and friendly,
with virtues and human weak
nesSes we all understand.
This is an unfailing prescription
for a sound and healthy society,
and we are following it in our
town with excellent results.

DR.. Ray Emery, curriculum CO.

The World Over

For three years, then, the Israel
government and the Jewish Agency
which dispensed United Jewish
Appeal funds-were busy with res
cue and relief, and immigrant
camps were the symbol of mass
immigration.
But in recent years, a gradual
process has changed the emphasis
from relief to rehabilitation. Much
thought has gone into the absorp-
ton of these newcomers, and the
planning has resulted in a two
fold program of education and
colonization: education, to teach
the immigrants from 72 different
countries how to live together
harmoniously; and colonization, to
bring them close to the land, to
help the economy of the country,
and to improve its defense.
Thanks to careful planning, it is
now possible to send the immi-
grants from the boat directly to
their new homes, avoiding if pos
sible even one day in a transit
| camp.
Our financial support has helped
to make this possible. And through
the United Jewish Appeal we must
continue our help, as the immi-
grafton from North Africa in
creases and new homes must be
found for a large group of people
unused to the labor of a pioneer
ing country.
In the words of DR.. Josephthal:
''It is long way from the gutter
of the ghettos in Casablanca to the
fields of the Negev and Galilee.
The immigrants cannot go this way
alone-we have to understand them
and lead them by the hand.
There is no healthy existence in
the communicating sophistication of
the great cities, for people who
received no education through gen.
erations, and who are deformed

Christians and Jews, Negroes,
Mexican-AmericanS, Indians, Chin
ese, JapaneSe-We have an eX-
ceptionally rich and varied COM
munity. To learn to work together
is a project as challenging to the
imagination as it is stirring in it's
promise for our future.
For an informed and under
standing public, no longer mutu-
ally suspicious, is not plagued by
group tensions. 1t can devote it's
energies creatively to the import
ant tasks at hand, for the COM
munity and for the larger world.
This is the meaning of inter-
group education in the schools; and
it is good to know that our Phoenix
educators are taking us into the
mainstream of American thinking
and American living.
HERE is A SLOGAN with a
heap of history behind it: From
the boat to the land" that is
the theme song of the newest
immigrants to Israel. And we
helped to write it!
Six years ago there were 10000
to $4,000 refugee newcomers in
''ten cities" where they had been
sent upon arrival in Israel, to await
homes and jobs and future. Their
resettlement was slow, and it was
small wonder.
''The influx of capital did not
correspond to the influx of immi-
grants" says DR.. Giora Josephthal,
Jewish Agency Treasurer, in a
retrospective article in "The Jew
ish Agency Digest" for Dec. 81,
1854.
But lack of money was not the
only problem. There had been no
time for planning, no water, no
equipment, no livestock for new
agricultural settlements. And seven

The government astutely realizes

America where the whites nearly
eradicated the Indian in their hun

Thus the Belglans are carefully

AS yet the overwhelming ma

settlers are prospecting, living like

2. The Belgians, last and most

autonomy.
a. Finally, and most important,
no comparison is yet possible be-
tween the lot of the American Ne
gro and that of the Congo Negro.
Here are the ancestors of American
Negroes. Here a strange and fasci-
mating drama is unfolding; the
transition of a people from ancient
tribal, communal values to the new
individualist values of western
civilization.
The primary answer of the Bel
gians to the question of enlight-
eminent has been the work of the
missionaries. 1t is generally agreed
in the Congo that Christian mis-
sions are the most progressive and
stabilizing influence in this land.
Without their efforts the African
could not have advanced to the
stage he has.
There are now in the Congo
about 1900 Protestant mission
aries, mostly American and Brit
ish, and about $500 Roman Catho-
lie missionaries, chiefly Belgian.
Nearly all these men and women
emphasize physical well-being and
trained mind as essential to the
African who would understand the
principles of Christianity.
Does the land belong to the
Africans or to the whites who came
in recent years?
The answer of the Belgian Gov
eminent is a qualified "to the
Africans"
There now are about / 500 whites
who may be classified as settlers
in the Congo. They continue to
