Israel and the
Scientific Revolution
We are giving you an ex-
clusive quote from a recent
address by Ambassador Abba
Eban . . . The speech was
delivered at the Weizmann
Memorial in Israel on Nov. 2
and this is the only copy of
text to have reached this coun-
try . . . Said Ambassador
Eban who now holds also the
title of president of the Weiz-
mann Institute:
"The future of Israel, in her
security, her economic progress
and her international prestige,
will be profoundly influenced
by the scientific revolution of
our times . . . I believe that
it will be a beneficial influ-
ence. The development of nu-
clear power and the "perfec-
tion — if I may use that word
of ballistic missiles have
brought about a sharpened sen-
sitivity towards the possible
eruption of war . . . Leaders
of the big powers have the
most vital self-interest in pre-
venting a conflagration from
erupting in any region, not
least in our own . . . Wheth-
er we welcome such a negative
incentive or not, this may rank
amongst the factors making, if
not for peace, at least for a
kind of warlessness . . . In
the economic sphere the new
forces of nuclear and solar
energy open broader vistas of
progress than we should have
dared to imagine when im-
ported oil seemed destined for-
ever to be the exclusive source
of our energy . . . Moreover,
there is a growing tendency
for the strength and status of
nations to be measured not by
breadth of territory or bulk of
population, but rather by the
quality and brilliance of their
intellectual and scientific en-
terprise. This new standard of
measurement cannot fail to in-
crease Israel's weight when the
comparative balance of strength
and importance is drawn be-
tween her and her neighbors
. . But for Israel, as the
collective expression of the
Hebrew faith and tradition, the
scientific revolution has a deep
philosophic meaning to which
no attention has been given in
the giddy pace of recent
events.
Scientific discovery has given
majestic vindication to the
basic premise of Israel's faith,
namely, its undying belief in
the unity of nature and the
unity of Man . . . Science
has revealed that the supreme
force of energy is compressed
in the one, small and utterly
indivisible microscosm . .
No concept in the history of
ideas can rival the philosophi-
cal grandeur of this revelation,
except the original doctrine of
natural unity upon which the
Hebrew faith, and its more
powerful tributaries, are found-
ed . . . At the same time,
science has illuminated the
truth of the unity of mankind,
whose destiny is now mani-
festly one and indivisible for
good or for ill . . . By re-
vealing these truths, science
has sealed a wondrous coven-
ant of reconciliation with our
ancient faith . . . Gone for-
ever are those strange, remote
days of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries when reas-
on and faith, science and re-
ligion, were conceived to be in
conflict and antithesis • • •
The more a man learns about
the structure of nature, the
greater becomes his respect
for the Architect of the Uni-
verse." . . .
Eban's eloquent words were
distorted and mostly obscured
in the newspaper dispatches
which reached our press . . .
We give this accurate excerpt
from his enduring statement
so as to make sure that it will
be preserved as it was spoken.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
Americans, almost three-to-
one, sympathize with Israel
in its conflicts with the Arab
states, a Trendex News Poll
indicated.
When a scientifically-se-
lected cross-section of Amer-
icans of all faiths was asked
whether they sympathize
with the Israelis or the Arabs
the replies were Israelis, 60.8
percent; Arabs 21.5 percent;
indefinite, 17.7 percent. The
principal reasons for sympa-
thizing with the Israelis
were: The Bible said the
Jews were to have a home-
land there; the Arabs are al-
lied with Communism; the
Jews are more progressive
than the Arabs, and Arabs
are largely sympathetic to
