'A Pressure Cooker Democracy'

.

,Vigor and Vitality of Israel
Astounds Mrs. Roosevelt

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt said that
the care given children was "the
happiest thing I saw in Israel."
Winding up a five-day visit to
this country during which she
traveled exhaustively from one
end of the state to the other
and visited settlements, indus-
tries, immigrant camps and
other institutions and talked
with the nation's leaders, Mrs.
Roosevelt gave her impressions
of the country to a press confer-
'
ence here.

Comparing the present situa-
tion in Israel with the United
States in its pioneering epoch,
Mrs. Roosevelt said: "Colossal
undertakings are being carried
out here with such vigor and
vitality that it takes away one's
breath." Referring to the ab-
sorption of n e w immigrants
here, she commented: "I was
told that Israel is a melting pot
but I must repeat what I said,
'Israel is not a melting pot but
a pressure cooker'."
Mrs. Roosevelt declined to

comment on the refugee ques-
tion generally but said condi-
tions in the immigrant work
camps (maabarot) were con-
siderably better than in the Ar-
ab refugee camps. The immi-
grant camps, she said, were
cleaner and better equipped.
In reply to a question about
the Palestine Arab refugees,
Mrs. Roosevelt said that the
Arab refugees were being stir-
red to discontent and unrest
by. "professional leaders."

She expressed doubt that the

Jewish Agency to Discuss Relations
Between UJA. and the Bond Drive

'Ted Weems to Play

For Yeshivah Affair

Louis H. Golden, young in-
LONDON, (JTA) — The rela-
dustrialist and a leader in the
local Allied Jewish Campaign, tions between the United Jew-
ish Appeal and the Israel Bond
drive in the United States will
be one of the main questions to
be discussed at the forthcoming
plenary session of the Jewish
Agency executive which is to
open on March 6 in Jerusalem,
it was revealed by Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, chairman of t h e
American section of the Jewish
Agency, who told newsmen that
relations between UJA and the
Israel bond drive are not satis-
factory at present. There is no
system of coordination and a
certain competition h a s de-
veloped, he stated.
The Jewish Agency session,
Dr. Goldmaxin said, will discuss
the situation of the world Zion-
ist movement and methods for
its re-organization. The rela-
tions between the Jewish Agen-
cy and the Israel Government

United Nations would be able to
assist the Jews of Eastern Eu-
rope to emigrate to Israel since
"it is not United Nations policy
to interfere in the internal af-
fairs of any country." She aid,
in response to another question,
that Israel can play a very im-
portant role in the defense of
the . Middle East and "all this de-
pends on the future."
Commenting on the difficult
economic situation in Israel, Mrs.
Roosevelt voiced confidence that
these conditions would be over-
come. "I was staying in Paris at
a hotel on the doors of which
was a plaque saying, 'here
France gave the first loan to
the United States of America.'
You see what became of the
United States of America. So I
do believe that Israel will over-
come the present hardships."
Mrs. Roosevelt was the guest
of honor at a dinner tendered
by Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion attended by U. S. Ambas-
sador Monnett B. Davis, mem-
