Israel’s achievements in economic upbuilding, and her need for greater industrial expansion will be reviewed by experts from Israel and leading Americans at a National Economic Conference for Israel to be held under the auspices of the State of Israel Bond drive, it was announced here today. The conference will open on September 12th at the Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City and will mark the launching of an intensive Fall campaign for the Israel Independence Bond Issue.
In announcing plans for the conference, Rudolf G. Sonneborn, president of the Israel Bond organization, stated that the major theme of the sessions will be: the transformation of Israel from a Land of Promise into a Land of Performance. “The Conference in Atlantic City,” Mr. Sonneborn stressed, “will point up the decisive role of investments through State of Israel Bonds as a major channel for American aid to Israel’s economic growth.”
Mr. Sonneborn emphasized that the conference sessions will cover not only the economic progress of Israel and its plans for the future, but will also chart a program of action to make possible the fullest mobilization of community support for the State of Israel Bond drive. “The Conference will work out detailed plans to mobilize the entire American Jewish community in the Fall of 1952 in support of this effort, and will develop new projects, ” he declared.
