Without the Ncgev, Israel would be no more than a city-state and I think we can agree that the days of the city-state are passed. Such a state would not exist one month." Gen. Allon made Jt clear, however, that his present mission In the United States had nothing to do with Israel's military or political problems. "I nm here on a humanitarian mission," he said. "Israel's people will do whatever they must to defend themselves. But we are also concerned with the problem of a new mass Immigration of Jewish refugees from tense North Africa. It is beyond our financial means to properly absorb these thousands of newcomers. We are calling upon the American Jewish community to make available through the UJA the urgently needed funds that can help provide homes, agricultural training and constructive- lives for the Immigrants we arc welcoming."
