Five major objectives of the First National Economic Conference for Israel were outlined here today in a statement by Henry Montor, vice-president of the American Financial and Development Corporation, which is sponsoring the sale of Israel Bonds in this country. The Conference will open in Washington on September 20.
Mr. Montor listed the purposes of the conference as follows: “1. To review the progress of the economic development of the State of Israel and the opportunities for expansion in the immediate future; 2. To obtain first-hand reports from leaders of the Israel Government on the plans for greater economic development during the next three years; 3. To examine the methods and techniques that have been employed in various parts of the country to promote the State of Israel Bonds; 4. To survey the achievements of the State of Israel Bond Drive since its inception on May 1, 1951; 5. To adopt a program for the mobilization of American Jewry to speed the economic independence of Israel.”
