Robinson con- ferred with President Chaim Weizmann, Leonard Lyons re- ports in the New York Post. They discussed material short- ages. "Yes, we have an obvious shortage in all assets here," said Weizmann, "except in the most important asset—The Mind." Robinson mentioned the lush oases he had seen in the midst of arid wasteland. "This isn't wasteland," Weiz- mann assured him. "The poet, Bialik, once said that when our people left here, God covered the land with boulders and sand, but only as camouflage to make others think it useless. Bialik was right," said Weizmann, "All it needs is to remove the cam- ouflage—and a bit of sweat." An average of 66,000 babies are born in the United States each week.
