The conference, attended by
77 delegates from 30 countries,
including a vice-president, a
prime minister and 12 cabinet
ministers of different nations,
brought agricultural scientists,
economists and sociologists to-
gether with politicians and 'ad-
ministrators in frank, "down-to-
earth" discussions of ways and
means for increasing food pro-
duction in the emergent states.
Senator Manahan recalled
a Philippine fable which de-
scribes the creation of Man.
"God made a figure of clay
and put it in the oven; when
He took it out, He decided
that it was too white, that it
had not been baked hard
enough or long enough. So
he made another figure and
kept it in the oven for long-
er. This time it was light
brown when He took it out.
The third try produced the
best-baked figure — it was
dark brown!"
"For me," said the Senator,
"one of the thrills of this
Rehovoth Conference has
been meeting people from
other continents, and work-
ing with them on plans to
combat our great and com-
mon enemy—hunger."

Senator Manahan's fable was
taken up by Mrs. Golda Meir,
Israel's Foreign Minister, who
delivered the concluding ad-
dress of the ten-day assembly.
"There used to be a belief,"
she said, "that some people who
came out of Senator Mabahan's
oven inherently lacked capacity

Introducing herself as a one-
time farmer, and recalling her
life in a kibbutz when she first
came to Israel, Mrs. Meir add-
ed: "You will not solve your
agricultural problems, however
good your planning may be, as
long as farmers are kept on the
bottom rung of the ladder. Re-
spect for the dignity of agricul-
tural labour is essential. It is
morally wrong for the man who
produces the nation's bread, to
subsist on crumbs—either liter-
ally or symbolically."

The basic provision in. the
model wage-payment law is the
requirement that wages be paid
by employers at regular inter-
vals.
