An Israel bond delegation, consisting of representatives of American and Canadian Jewish communities, left New York last night by plane for a two-week study of economic developments in Israel. The members of the delegation will meet in Jerusalem with key Cabinet ministers as a basis for formulating plans for the most effective assistance to Israel’s economic growth.
The group will inspect the country’s major industrial plants, agricultural settlements and irrigation projects, mining operations, harbors and transportation and communications facilities, with a view towards gauging the rate of expansion and construction in these fields as a result of the infusion of Israel bond capital. The group of leaders will also study the need for Israel bond investments for the fuller realization of the country’s economic potential, with special emphasis on the tapping of natural resources and acceleration of production for export.
