NEW YORK (AJP)—The Unit-
ed States government wants the
$500,000.000 Israel bond drive to
succeed, Dr. James G. McDonald,
first American Ambassador to
I Israel, said in the first reply
1 from bond officials to anti-
Zionist charges that purchases
of the bonds by U.S. Jews was
unpatriotic, made by the Amer-
ican Council for Judaism.
Dr. McDonald referred scath-
ingly to "pseudo-Jewish leaders"
by whom, he said, Jewry had
been plagued throughout its his-
tory.
"It is truly patriotic to buy
Israel bonds," the famous Chris-
tian Zionist, now associated with
the American Financial and De-
velopment Corporation for Israel
handling the huge bond sale,
told the leaders of Mizrachi.
"The United States govern-
ment wants the bond drive to be
a success because our govern-
ment wants to see a .strong Is-
rael in the Middle East," he said.
"The United States knows that
Israel is the only country in the
Middle East of the Fertile Cres-
cent that can be counted on to
fight for its liberty against ag-
gression."

Translated by
Dr. Noah E. Aronstam
(Translator's
Note: This poem, of
which I only excerpt four strophes, is
one of the most outstanding in artistic
construction in Hebrew poetry. It was
written by Mordecai Zvi Manah, a gifted
artist, who hoped to regain his health in
Palestine—before the Civil War — but
unfortunately died in his prime from the
ravages of tuberculosis).
Who will give me eagle's wings,
Pinions of the gentle dove?
Then
rise and unconstrained
Soar the azure sky above.
Eastward, eastward will I fly,
Where Jehudah sang and. died;
Ave. surcease shall come to me,
If ever I this land espied.
Oh, where art thou holy land?
My soul doth yearn for thee;
Thy air is balm to my wounds
It gives me peace, it makes me
free.
Thy air shall soothe my aches
and pains
Awaken visions dorma.nt store;
Burthens sweet and sacred
dreams
Pf which I never dreamt before.
