In Africa, Israeli advisers were
working as early -as--1958,. While
the first bi-lateral agreement-with
a South American nation was
signed in 1961. Actual cooperation
on the continent began only in
1963. The weight of the "Interna-
tional Cooperation Program" as it
is officially called„ is, however,
shifting to this part of the world,
according to the Israeli expert in
charge of coordinating assistance
projects in the Caribbean region.
Israel has proven itself in two
fields — agriculture and defense
— which before the State were
considered alien to the Jewish
people.
The new nations of the world
are interested in learning about
this Israeli experience; in agricul-
ture, the knowledge is freely
given, in defense Israel is more
reluctant to advise.
Seventeen of the 24 Latin Ameri-
can republics in the region have
Israeli advisers. The overwhelm-
ing majority are in agriculture and
related areas. The average project
might be like the one in Cata-
marca, Argentina where a rural
consolidation and settlement plan
was elaborated for a valley suffer-
ing from an exodus of trained
manpower to more populated parts
of the country.
As in all cases, local technicians
worked hand in hand with Israelis
(the speaker described the Israeli
expert as, the "shadow" of the
local man, who holds the execu-
tive power) in settling 600 families
on irrigated holdings which would
produce profitable farm commodi-
ties and lead to the development
of agricultural industries. Similar
plans are underway in Haiti and

JERUSALEM—Forestry experts
of the Jewish National Fund have
found their planting experiments
particularly successful in the dry
climate of Lahav, on the south-
western slopes of the Hebron Hills
bordering on the Negev.
With annual precipitation
amounts hardly exceeding 8-9
inches, the saplings planted in the
area have taken root and grow
much better than expected. The
Lahav forest today numbers over
2,000,000 trees, and its success
has encouraged the JNF to plant
another 250,000 saplings there this
season.
Eloquence shows the power and
possibility of man.
