Israel Ambassador Abba Eban today issued an appeal to the Jews in this country to participate in the sale of Israel bonds on BIG. Day, June 14. He emphasized that the sale of bonds on that day will have a “great effect” upon the economic welfare of Israel.
“Our economic development depends upon the availability of investment capital, while our political security, in its turn, will be consolidated in direct proportion to our growth of economic strength,” Ambassador Eban pointed out in his appeal.
Tens of thousands of men and women volunteer workers throughout the United States will visit friends and neighbors to see the State of Israel bonds on BIG Day, Lawrence G. Laskey of Boston, national chairman for Bonds for the Israel Government Day, announced. The day, marking the climax of the Spring, 1953, phase of the bond drive, will be the largest one day effort of its kind.
