told the board members that Israel Bonds represent a" way for us to carry through a partnership with the new democracy in. the Near East struggling for its very survival. Economic Attack The Arab states have turned the war against Israel into a diplomatic, and political struggle, Mr. Bernstein stressed. 'The Arab nations are unwilling to recognize the independence of Israel- and have adopted as their policy an attack on the economic front aimed to undercut the new democracy In their midst, he continued. They, are playing for time, Mr. Bernstein added, hoping to subdue Israel by an economic boycott. The greatest n e e d now, he ' pojnted out, is to put Israel on a sound economic footing. This in the purpose to which Israel Bond dollars are being put to use, Mr. Bernstein said. He contrasted the use of United Appeal funds to that of Israel bonds. The UJA dollars are used to save lives, for medical .care and training; The bond dollars arc being used to help the immigrants build a constructive life for themselves in the newstate. Perspective Ahead Tho perspective ahead for Israel is building the new state's Industry so that the people who were saved can build a useful life for themselves, he repeated. Basic industries are being developed with bonds and more capital ln« vestment is needed to continue this work, he reiterated. The economic struggle with the A r a b states is costing Israel from 60 to 70 million dollars a year, Mr. Bernstein pointed out. Arab Refugees The Arab refugee problem has not been settled because the Arab nations will not admit the rcfu- i gees, ho went on to say. The Arab refugees ore being ' deliberately kept on the border of Israel to harass the new state, he added. The Arab nations have not accepted the State of Israel and are trying by means short of war to eliminate the new nation, Mr. Bernstein emphasized. Thoir Is no real threat of a military war, he continued, Because of the general feeling that tho United States, Great Britain and France .will not permit it, Mr. Bernstein said. That is why the Arab states have resorted to their economic boycott as the mehns of eliminatnifr Israel, he stressed.
