Israel’s economic health has greatly improved during the past 16 months as a result of American financial assistance. Dr. Joseph Burg. Minister of Health for Israel, declared here today upon his arrival from the Jewish State to participate in the National Economic Conference for Israel which will be held in Atlantic City this week-end under the auspices of the Israel bond drive organization.
Dr. Burg said that funds derived from the bond drive were like a “transfusion” to the economy of Israel, and added: “I am confident that Israel will soon achieve a robust and self-sufficient economic structure, if Americans continue to express their faith in our capacity to build new industries, develop our natural resources and expand our growing trade with other nations.”
During his stay in this city. Dr. Burg will inspect various New York hospitals and will be guest of honor at several dinners. He will also tour the major cities of the U.S. in behalf of the bond campaign.
