The appeal for bond purchases was made by Rabbi Isidore Breslau of Wash- ington, Louis Berry, Bob Hall and Joseph Holtzman.

In comment upon the latter, Mr. Lie said "if the key will open the door to Moscow, I'll be very happy." In an impressive brief address welcoming Mr. Lie, U. S. Senator Homer Ferguson acclaimed the great cause of the United Na- tions. He compared the "totali- tarianism that has taken its toll of free nations" with "our own desire for freedom and liberty," and praised the UN which has made it possible for us to wit- ness "a nation born in Israel." "You are buying bonds in freedom to help develop a young state," Senator Fergu- son commended the audience. "We hope the success of Israel will be great, and even great- er than anticipated. If we will keep our shoulders to the wheel and help the small na- tions, we can hold out the hope that there will be free- dom for all."

"I am glad to see the response to the call for investments in Israel and am excited to see how people are giving," he stated. "When you are giving, when you are buying bonds, you are doing the right thing as human beings, as Ameri- cans, as Jews." Describing the background of his interest in the establish- ment of Israel, Mr. Lie recalled that as a boy he was puzzled over the law of 1814 in this country's constitution prohibit- ing the settlement of Jews in Norway. That law was repealed in 1851 and there has been no discrimination since, he pointed out, until the arrival of the Israel Trip Planned by 10 Detroiters To Arrive in Lioifa for Passover Detroiters booked passage on the SS Constitution, which soils from New York, direct to Israel, March 25.
