Moshe Sharett, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive today urged members of the Israel WIZO, the Women’s International Zionist Organization, to intensify their efforts in absorbing newcomers.

He said the newcomers should be received with open arms because they not only increase the strength of the country but also widen its economic and cultural base.
