Party Lists - Mapai Goals • TEL AVIV—The story of Mapai —the Israel Labor party—is part and parcel of the story of the Jewish State. Behind the party lies a record of 90 years of pioneering and of struggle for the foundation of the State. Before the party lies another period of effort—to create a State that will be based on so- cialism and liberty for the indi- vidual. Mapai believes in creating liv- ing realities and the network of socialist agricultural villages and socialized industries bears witness to the party's creative socialism. Mapai has evolved its own theory and practice out of the soil of this country, in keeping with the temperament and traditions of its people. LABORED IN 3 FIELDS Immigration, settlement and defense were the cornerstones of the Jewish Stale and in each of these fields of activity, Mapai made a decisive contribution. Members of Mapai were the driving force behind the immi- gration 'movement which ran the British blockade and brought in thousands of refugees, thus strengthening the Yishuv despite the restrictions of the mandatory government. Members of Mapai took a vi- tal part in planning the settle- ment strategy which made the Kibbutzim the strongholds of the Arab war. Members of Mapai helped to create and shape the flaganah, out of which the vic- torious defense army of Israel Was developed. KIND OF STATE? Today the State of Israel is in existence. What kind of State should it be? Mapai believes that the Jewish State must be based on the qua] ity implicit in the socialist ideal, that constructive socialist enter- prise in town and village must be fostered, that social security must be provided for all, that taxation must be progressive and equit- able. Jews abroad must he encour- aged more fully to take their Friday, April 15, 1949 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE _ - Page Twenty-six Gold Pesach Plate af f s • .......mwratniriorAvamai m 10, 12g0"" •-• enterprise should have its place, in partnership with socialist en- terprise, within the framework of a planned economy, thus insur- ing the orderly development of the country. Mapai stands for full indepen- dence for the Jewish people. The living reality of the State of Is- rael bears testimony to the par- ty's principles of pioneering and practical idealism. Recognition can only follow facts, not pre- cede them. SPONSORED STATE It 'was Mapai that raised the banner of the Jewish State the first moment that it became a matter of practical politics. The Biltmore Program drawn up by David Ben Gurion was the cor- nerstone of the struggle . which brought about the termination of British rule and rebirth of inde- pendence. Mapai stood firmly opposed to the proposals put forward by other parties of the left for bi- nationalism and international trusteeship, parties which refused to accept the idea of a Jewish State until it had become clear that the United Nations would accept the principle.
