`Second Round' of War Is Real Danger, Ben Gurion Warns
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Premier David Ben-Gurion, addressing a mass meeting at the
Ain Harod settlement, Sunday emphasized that the danger of - "second round" of
war was real and said that "mass immigration is therefore essential to populate the
wide and empty spaces in Israel."
"Our generation must decide to what extent it is ready to take part in the great
JeWish revolution, which is only just beginning," he stated. Nearly 400,000 immigrants
came to Israel since the establishment of the state, he said, adding that several sec-
tions of the Diaspora, including Yemen, have been liquidated. "This is only a small
-
beginning as compared with the needs of the future," he stressed.
The deterioration of the political situation, the Israel Premier asserted, "necessitates the
total mobilization of all forces of the nation." The collective settlement movement, he added,
must - "provide larger possibilities for immigrat ion and absorption."
The Israel Premier criticized the Present at titude of the collectives, declaring that their
"fanatic adherence to their ideology drives them to curtail their own farming activities - to
avoid the necessity of obtaining hired labor."
