My good friend, Dr. Jose** Katz
is doing this column for me this
week ... all about the land of Is
rael from which he has just re
turned. And I’m deeply thankful to
Dr. Katz for taking this column of
mine to himself tfus day.
Oh, this is the loveliest of spring
time days! The roses are beginning
to bloom on the lawn in front of the
apartment house in which 1 reside'
And God is in the sunlight that’s in
every window. So 1 rejoice f don’t
have to do this column to*lay Good
Dr. Katz is doing it all for me and
allows me to consult with the divine
fragrance of those roses.
Dr. Katz writes m his letter:
“Here a column for you “and he
titles it "Israel . . My Impression
Today” and he goes on: “This little
country that announced its independ
cnee on May 15, 1!M8, now is the
gateway to Asia, Africa and Europe
Since its rebirth the visitors have
been kings and queens ... the most
recent were of the Belgian royal
family, and others such as rajahs,
potentates, princes, VIP leaders
from England’s labor party, finan
cial leaders from the Scandinavian
countries. Ami, in fact, Israel’s gold
loins are selling at high premium.
One $100 gold piece brings $600, as
a collector’s item.”
Oh, thanks, thanks, Dr. Katz, for
serving my column that highly so
far, and he goes on:
Yes, he tells me: "The pre-war
imputation of the land of Israel was
a half-million dollars worth of its
products in its earlier days. Now
it exports 400 million dollars an
nually. Do you know that diamonds
are No. 1 in Israel's export market?
Citrus fruit is second and tourism
third. They even ex|x>rt cement to
the U.S.A.”
And my friend the doctor goes on:
“Israel’s economy consists of all
three world systems: Capitalism in
the financial institutions and large
corporations. It has even produced
an Israel made millionaire. And
Socialism in labor and industry.
Modified Communism as in the Kib
butzim In the Kibbutzim they can
come and stay or leave if one thinks
he can better himself. All they get
is complete maintenance. If one
leaves he gets his chair, bed and
what’s on his back. The government
gets the profits.”
And once more, Dr. Katz, thanks
for doing this column so well for
me on this loveliest of days when
the fragrance of those roses rise
to the high windows at which I'm
sitting.
So the doctor goes on with his
diagnosis of Israel: “Labor is pro
tected by the Histadruth, the giant
CIO-A EL. in Israel. Wages, work
ing hours, vacations, severance pay
and other benefits are arranged.
And the workers are completely
covered by health, medical and sur
gical care . . and vacations are in
cluded.”
And, oil yes, the doctor rejoices
further toward the fact that doctors
in Israel haven’t so much to do
there about sick kids. He tells me:
“Israel has the third lowest infant
mortality rate in the world. Child
birth is encourage*! by the mothers

Besides this goodness, there are
some millionaires who have been
serving Israel toward jobs and good
life for its people and for its pros
perity . . “They’ve done lots for
Israel,” Dr. Katz reports. “The
Wolfsons of England ftave tremen
dous investments in Israel, and also
the Rothschild family. They have
erected large industries and financial
institutions They have donated lots
of land to people They have de
veloped mass produ<tion systems in
constructing towns, villages and
cities that are unique They locate
concrete factories in certain areas,
which thus are blessed And multi
apartment houses are constructed,
like rows of soldiers. It’s amazing
all the building which goes on
here. It’s like surveying a miracle
to look at towns, cities and villages
coming into being almost overnight
in Israel."
And Dr. Katz comes to a conclu
sion, after his examination of Israel
just as he does on examination
of the human Ixxly . . "Yes,” he
says, “little Israel with every kind
of people of vision and dedication is
here to stay . . . Israel pays prin
cipal and interest for anything it
gets, and this is Israel of today.”
So I thank Dr Katz once more
for this worthwhile column which
caiTies my name but which is all
his. I applaud him for being a good
reporter and as a fine doctor, and I
am especially thankful to him lie-
cause he took my place as a col
umnist on this lovely spring day.
Yes, to enjoy that rose-bush is
more desirable to the soul than
pounding the typewriter . . and
there are those violets in bloom!
