Problems of Israel Outlined by Speaker "My subject tonight is 'Israel the Melting Pot' but because of lack of time and money, it is more of a pressure cooker right now." With this typical statement, bristling with the exigencies with which Israel is now faced, Mrs. Dvora Elon of Tel-Aviv talked to Medford chapter of the United Nations association Thursday night at St. Mark's parish house. Mrs Elon first of all pointed out that the Israelis number 2 million people in 8,000 square miles, whereas the Arabs num ber 40 mill:on people in 4 mil lion square miles and therefore "there is no shortage of land to make the Arabs uneasy ."A great deal of the difficulty is the fact that the Arcb land is owned by 10 per cent of the population who are interested in maintain ing these large holdings, and the other 90 prr cent of the Arab people are desperately and un believably poor, she said. Tensions Po.'iical There are no tensions but po litical between the Arabs and Jews, Mrs Elon stressed. They are both oriental peoples, spring ing from t.ke same stock, and although their religions are dif ferent ther? has been no trou ble on this score, as both peo ples have gotten along peaceful ly for years, until the founding of Israel in 1947. The land of Israeli, which were bounht legally from the Arab owners. Mrs. Elon went on to say were not the desirable lands, but were the swampy, ma larial lands, which had been abandoned by the Arabs for all useful purples. By dint of great o labor and scientific techniques, these lands were drained and are now prodnring crops, which are the mainstay of the infant repub lie of Israel, the speaker con tinued Mr. Elon reminded her audi ence that Israel was founded to offer a homo to the Jewish peo ples who for 2,000 years, had pledged anew each Passover, "The Next Year in Jerusalem." During the British mandate, im migration from Hitler's Europe was illegal but it went on witn the full cooperation of all the Jews in Pa'estine. Boats were bought with meager savings of the residents and with the help of interested Jewish organiza tions in the United States, and all those who could be brought from the ghettos of Europe and th concentration camps were welcomed in Jersualem and the surrounding colonies. Particular rt was made to save the chil gfcen she said. During those days, Mrs. Elon rswied, a large p-oportion of the population of Israel was made up of hiphly educated and nkilted people and it was not un usual to find a chemist tending! chickens on one of the collective farms, where every effort was made to exploit the poor soil into supporting an unprecedent ed number of refugees. Now, however, the refugees are from the Arab countries and some of the people are illiterate, coming straight from the eighth cen tury nomadi- life of Yemen. Integration Difficult All these people from Yemen know beside? the nomadic way of life is the Bible, she added. While they were amazed to see ttreet car and automobiles, the airplanes which brought them to .'srael were accepted as the large eagles come to bring the people home, foretold by one of the Old Testament prophets. The task of integrating these people into a modern a?-icultural and indus trial life is ne of Israeli's great est challenges at this point of her development, . Mrs. Elon de clared Mrs Elon also gave a short history of the development of the infant democracy, pointing out that she herself had been the subject of ,h-ee different nations in her lifetime, first Turkisn, then British and finally an Is raeli citizen She told of the great strides made in medicine and health :n Israel, of the con trol of malaria, which at one time was scourge, and the ef forts made to build villages to hold the refugees teeming in from all parti of the world. Al though immigration is still booming, i. will stop shortly, as there are no more Jews who are unwanted in the world, the ipeaker sai&. The only large bod ies of Jews left are in the United States, which is still considered a step nearer a material heaven by a large number of Jewish peoples, and the Russian Jews, whe cannjt leave Russia, she stated. Therefor:, Mrs Elon went on to say," the Arabs need not fear that we wan more land. By the time we hive fully developed our country, thre will be re sources fo- six million people, which is fa." beyond out present population " Make Desert Bloom Mrs. Elon also mentioned the difficulty of making the desert bloom "More is needed than money and work ,: she claimed. You must love the desert and understand it before you can make'it work for you. You also have to be a little crazy," she laughingly stated, after telling about the yov.ng man who be lieved that tulips would grow in the dese -t. In .he face of criti cism, he wit ahead and planted tulips Last year Israel export ed 3 million tulip bulbs to Cali fornia "So many of the refugees com ing to Israel expect the land f milk and honey of the Bible," she said "out Israel is a land of sand and stone. However, it is our home and we love it and are proud of it More than anything we want peace, so that we. can turn our. ei'orts into developing our home .nlc a garden, and to establishing our industries. We want to help our neighbors, who are much poorer than we, and in Teen Play-Sel t . r 9175 io-iiV fry irr5iniirwTi For summer's active life, this PRINTED Pattern is ideal!
