Prof. Levin Takes Optimistic Yiew
Of Economic Future Facing Israel
In a challenging article in the
April issue of American Journal
of Economics and Sociology, un-
der the title "Some Problems of
the Economy of Israel," Samuel
M. Levin, professor of economics
at Wayne University, _makes a
thorough survey of the new
state's trends, conditions and
aspirations.
Analyzing the available means
for Israel's development as well
as the burdens
accruing f r o in
an increasing;
•population, Prof.
Levin asserts
that even if
present develop-
ments "do not
signify that the
goal of national
economic secur-
ity is within
reach," they
"nevert h e 1 e s s Prof. Levin
bring to view an immense effort
to create a center for orderly
and progresive life in the Middle
East, and to think, plan; and
strive for the realization of a
high purpose."
Pointing to the imperative
need of coping with economic
difficulties in order to realize
the hopes of a reconstituted Is-
rael, Prof. Levin points out that:
1. The new state's economic
order is not comformable to
familiar capitalistic. models.
2. Israel's national enconomy
is subjected to strains created by
the influx of immigrants from
many lands.
3. Difficulties are encountered
by a scarcity of raw materials.
4. The backlog of scientific
knowledge brought to Israel by
new settlers plays an important
role in the development of in-
dustries, but there is an offset
to this advantage in the occu-
pational structure of many of
the immigrants from undevel-
oped countries.
Prof. Levin's study reviews
thoroughly the part played in
Israel's development by Jewish
organizations in the Diaspora
which are assisting in the coun-
try's development. He reviews
the deficiencies and • scarcities
which handicap Israel's econo-
my and describes the hunger for
capital which brought into being
the _Israel Bond- Issue.
Describing the existing situa-
tions realistically, Prof. Levin,
quoting Premier David Ben-
Gurion, underscores "the extent
of the wilderness" in Israel, "the
grave danger it holds and the
enormous work needed to over-

g
come it." He deals at length
with the need for peace with
the Arabs and the threats to
Israel from the Arab economic
boycott. Increasing anxieties
are described as retaining dan-
gers to the new nation.
To offset these, he refers to
the "voluntary self-denial". of
the settlers and the recognition
of existing dangers by Israel.
"There is no gainsaying the.
fact," Prof. Levin, writes, "that
remarkable results have been.
achieved since the establishment
of the state. New and adequate
acquisition . of capital, if con-
joined with necessary market
outlets for Israeli products, will
provide the machinery, fuel and
raw material needed for the ex-
pansion of industry and will
widen the opportunities for land
settlement, for irrigation, for
diversification and intensifica-
tion of farming, and for electri-
fation."
Jewish Publishers
Praised for Stand
On Civil Liberties
WASHINGTON, ( J T A ).-
Rep. Samuel W. Yorty, of Cal-
ifornia, comm ended the
American Association of Eng-
lish-Jewish Newspapers on
the floor of Congress last Fri-
day, for adopting a resolu-
tion citing attacks on civil
liberties as dangerous to the
freedom of the press.
Rep. Yorty told Congress:
"The publishers and editors
who adopted this resolution
are tho u g h t f u l Americans
anxious to protect our nation
against both subversive ac-
tivities and those demagogues
who under the guise of fight-
ing subversion seek to intimi-
date loyal Americans and de-
stroy our cherished freedoms
including freedom of the
press."

10 Arrested in Tunis
After Moslem Attack
On Jewish. Quarter
PARIS,
(JTA)—Tunisian po-
lice arrested 10 persons in the
aftermath of a Moslem attack
on the Jewish quarter of Tunis
by some 200 Moslem youths who
attempted to storm their way
into the Jewish section and
announced their coming with a
barrage of rocks. They Were
hurled back by hastily organ-
ized young Jews in a 30-minute
battle. A number of Jews and
Arabs were cut and bruised by
the flying stones before the
police intervened.
The attack was made at the
beginning of Ramadan, the
Moslem holy month during
which devout Moslems fast all
day. The raid was preceded by
a press campaign against the
Jews and by the scribbling of
swastikas on the walls of homes
in the Jewish quarter.
(At the United Nations, a
Tunisian Nationalist s p o k e s-
man denied that the attack
constituted anti-Semitism,
charged that the French had
attempted to exaggerate the in-
cident and demanded that the
French permit an international
commission to investigate the
incident. The • spokesman, Bahi
Ladham, representative of the
nationalist Neo-Destour Party,
declared: "We repudiate any
suggestion that our people are
anti-Semitic just as we repudi-
ate any small minority which
might engage in anti-Semitic
manifestations."
