Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, vice president of the Israel Bond Organization, arrived here to launch the Fall 1956 campaign for Israel bonds in this country. Mexican Jewry has been active in the Israel bond effort for the past five years.
“The Mexican Jewish community has consistently shown a deep interest in work for the establishment and strengthening of the State of Israel,” Dr. Schwartz said. “They have played an important role in the Israel bond campaign. I am confident that the forthcoming drive will produce outstanding results in the mobilization of investment capital through Israel bonds. At this time of continuing difficulty and tension in the Middle East, it is of the utmost importance that Israel be given the means to maintain its economic strength unimpaired.”
