Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 4, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky Flanders on Israel senator Ralph handers of Vermont is a Stern new englander who recently discussed for the Benefit of the Quot congressional re i Cord Quot the question of the arabs j and Israel. What worries the sen j Ator is this Quot the critical element in the sit i nation is the present and proposed i population of Israel As compared with the territory and resources vol. 80, no. 208 it. Pleasant Iowa thursday evening sept. 4, 1958 crowd jams Park for reunion which it occupies. I have been told by zionists that the aim is to pack 3 million inhabitants into territory of 7,984 Square Miles which is smaller than my own state of Vermont a this is a fallacy which has been disproved Many times. The relationship of the food Supply to the population of an agricultural Community is horizontal and depends upon the Fertility of the soil. The population of an Industrial Community can be vertical increasing the density per Square mile to that of Japan or Holland or for that matter new York City. Fact a bries and lofts can be built upward but wheat grows on the surface. Some Day. When chem orgy really1 becomes practical it will by possible to grow food in factories and 1 that will solve the population problem As it relates to food. At any rate engineers who have studied Israel recognizing that it is Likely to develop into a mixed agricultural and Industrial Community with a total utilization of such desert area As the Negev believe that a population of 3,000.000 can live in Israel on a higher Standard of life than any neighbouring country which is not saying too much 0 0% what senator Flanders wants to do about it is most interesting. He says a a. When the immigration policies of Israel were directed toward making a Home for refugees it was proper to have those activities supported by tax free american contributions. The present policies Are not refugee policies. They Are the policies inherent in. The zionist program an ingathering of the jews from All Over the Earth whether they Are opposed or not whether they Are needy or not. Matters not so Long As they Are jews bring them into the new Zion no matter what injustices Are perpetrated on the former owners of the land. Not one Penny of tax free american Money should go j into this project. It apparently matters Little to the Vermont senator that he does not till the truth. Israel is not a prod j net of a refugee movement. Tile j cry for the restoration of a jewish j Homeland in Palestine goes Backoo 70 a d when the Temple was. Destroyed and has been continuous 1 since then there have always been a jews to whom Jerusalem was precious there have always been jews even when the Temple flourished i who despised their ancestry and it turned to Gre Ltd gods or roman. Gods As some now turn to mammon or Lenin. But the mass of the jew ish pen j pie in each generation turn their hearts to Israel and even weeping feel that there is a heritage of which one can be proud. Rei preparations a preparations for the reunion Are Many. Here William hater president of the association was aboard a dead engine at the left which was about to be towed by the one at the right. Like pre circus preparations the a setting up Quot for the reunion attracts the younger set As indicated by the boys present. William Seyb was at the throttle and c Liff Bonar standing Between the engines. Note the old separators in the background. Vav at threshers reunion this old Saddle tank Railroad engine has been partially restored and made its initial appearance at a threshers reunion Here this year. Ii is the first stage in a Short line Railroad for the reunion. Later a track May be Laid on the grounds and a depot already purchased moved to the area. Discover remains of old ship in Lake Michigan tells about lawyers fee i perhaps senator Flanders cannot understand that but i have seen Loyal irishmen who have never seen the old Sod and whose ancestors fought with mad Anthony Wayne in the revolution shed a tear As on St. Patrick s Day they Sang. Quot when j Irish eyes Are i old Peoples have Pride in their i heritage perhaps that is what makes them an old people. The jews of american birth and ancestry. Perhaps some w to have been in this country since the revolution whose ancestors have fought in All wars May yet feel that where David Sang and Solomon reigned and the prophets spoke their Wisdom and where even Jesus j be strode the Earth with his disciples is a land that is not to be forgotten. I if an american jew or Christi a gives a Dollar to an israeli inti Sutlon that gains a tax free Benefit he does no less than when e gives for an amen an Hospital i France or to an american Scho ii a.
