Adfai Stevenson, a guest of Israel for the past few days, yesterday declared that “after visiting your immigrant camps and your wonderful enterprises I will return home with a better understanding of your problems and difficulties and will be able to explain them to my people.”
Mr. Stevenson made his remarks at a reception in Tel Aviv tendered by ZOA House and the Israel-American Friendship League. Mr. Stevenson expressed the hope that on his next visit to Israel he would find an Israel-Arab Friendship League in existence in the Jewish State.
Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett, who was present at the reception, stressed that it was an honor for Israel to be able to welcome its distinguished guest, whom the Foreign Minister called “a great son of the greatest democratic nation in the world.”
