Israel and Point Four

a real sense, Point Four is not the problem of the United States only, even though the idea came from this country and even though the major implementation in terms of resources and skills will have to derive from this country. It is a problem of all countries, more or less developed. Israel is, of course, a new country of only two years' duration. Therefore we must consider not only Israel, but also its predecessor-Palestine. Unfortunately for Palestine and Israel, the overwhelming attention it has attracted has been primarily emotional and political rather than economic and cultural. Rather than observing, studying, and understanding its basic development and problems, we have concerned ourselves primarily with the political implications of the strife that has occurred there, and with emotional aspects related to the saving of refugees and the effort to provide a homeland for those who had become stateless.
