The role of Israel in securing world peace was outlined here last night by Congressman Emanuel Celler addressing the 56th annual convention of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America. Declaring that Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East, Rep. Celler said:
“If Israel fails, then the enemies of democracy will point to its failure as conclusive proof that the principle of democracy as expressed in a democratic form of government cannot bring security to itself and to its people. If Israel fails, it is that much more grist to the Communist propaganda mill.”
