Yet, even at a glance, one could not be beguiled into be- lieving such an outright fiction. Today, as in -all generations, Jews are in the forefront to do battle against all manifesta- tions of injustice.

Imports dropped from 380 to 375 pounds per capita. The drop in imports and increase in ex- ports cut Israel's trade deficit by 12 percent in 1959, compared with 1958. The United Kingdom re- mained Israel's best customer, purchasing more than 60,000,- 000 pounds worth of Israeli products during the year. The United States was a close second, with purchases of 40,- 000,000 pounds. American im- ports from Israel were 15,000,- 000 pounds higher than in 1958. West Germany, with pur- SEE ELSON'S pounds, Switzerland and Bel- ; giurn, with purchases of about 17,000,000 pounds each, Turkey, with 16,000,000 pounds and the Netherlands, with 14,000,000 pounds, were next in that order. Israel's main suppliers dui-- in 1959 were the United States, West Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands and Switzer- land. These countries account- ed for two-thirds of Israel's im- ports.
