matter to Washington is to in-

by the Jews of Israel. We
must go on working, step by

is assured."
Referring to the "tremendous
sense of uplift" given by Israel
to Jews everywhere since the
establishment of the state, Dr.
Silver said that "without our
contributions the heroic results
would not have been possible.
With our funds we provided the
tools and gave the heroes their
courage. There are great diffi-
culties but the pioneers will
work their way through, provid-
ed they have the confidence
that this splendid community,
which stood by them in their
dark hour, is not walking away
from them."
