Message from Weizmann
An important message to

of BIG Day, was received by
Henry Morgenthau, chairman of
the board of the Israel Bond
Issue; from Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, President of Israel. Dr.
Weizmann cabled from his
home in Rehovoth:
'National BIG Day March 9
for bond drive is an appropriate
occasion to express satisfac-
tion with the strides made by
the State of Israel during the
Past three years, particularly its
ng industrial growth and
striki
the ,increasing develepoment of
its natural resources.
"During these years of test our
peoPle have shown again their
%capacity for
work endurance
and sacrifice. I
am continually
heartened a n d
encouraged by
evidence of the
'unfailing c o n-
cern of Ameri-
c a n Jewry for
Israel's progress
and welfare
Dr. Weizmann which has been
demonstrated afresh by the
wonderful response to Israel's
need for investment capital
through the independence bond
issue.
"I regard the bond issue as
the climax of the joint efforts of
American Jewry and the people
of Israel to cement the estab-
lishment of the Jewish state by
ensuring its economic security
and independence.
"I am confident that on na-
tional BIG Day the American
Jewish community will mobilize
its strength on an unprecedent
ed scale to bring the story of
Israel bonds and their meaning
into tens of thousands of Amer-
ican homes.
"Please convey my greetings
to all those who are engaged in
promoting this great day."
