complex and numerous.
Israel, like them, has had to
face tremendous problems of
`human engineering,' to
develop a sense of fresh roots,
a solidarity, a national iden-
tification among immigrants
with differing, often conflic-
ting backgrounds. Israel has
had to inspire its new citizens
with a feeling of cultural uni-
ty, an identification with the
aims of a fledgling state. The
fact that, to a remarkable
degree, Israel has met this
Herculean challenge head-on
with success has in turn pro-
vided inspiration for her
sister states throughout the
world in their efforts to reach
the same goals?'
The special interest in
Israel's successful agriculture
and rural structure, however,
was due to the strong belief
that agricultural advance-
ment and modernization were
a precondition of a country's
growth and progress.
Israel's agricultural aid en-
compassed a whole range of
projects including establish-
ment of agricultural
demonstration farms, train-
ing centers, experimental and
seed production farms, com-
prehensive rural development
projects, first in Burma in
1955 and later in Zambia, the
Dominican Republic, Laos
and other countries. Also
organizations of specific rural
institutions such as
marketing organizations or
introduction or improvement
of a special crop such as cot-
ton, as in the Adana Region
in Turkey.
The instructors came from
Israel's agricultural sector
and from her universities,
especially from the Hebrew
University's Faculty of
Agriculture, and included
such noteworthy personalities
as famed researcher Professor
Nahum Kedar, whose DeVine
tomatoes are now well known
across the U.S. In Thailand,
he introduced improved
techniques for growing onions
and potatoes that helped
them to raise crop yields by
three and four hundred
percent.
Medical aid developed from
an invitation to the head of
the Hebrew University-
Hadassah Medical School's
Department of Ophthalmol-
ogy to direct a survey for
treatment of the blind in
Liberia and plan an educa-
tional program for them. As
a consequence of this, Israel
was asked to provide similar
aid to a number of other
African countries. The
Hebrew University trained
both eye doctors and specializ-
ed eye nurses for African
countries, established eye
treatment services there, and
