Arturo Frondizi, met Roger Babson, famous statistician and founder of Babson
College.<BR><BR>In the course of their discussion, Babson asked the President
why South America, with all its <BR>natural resources, its mines, its rivers and
waterfalls, is so far behind North America. The President<BR>replied with an
answer you will never forget. He said: "South America was settled by the
Spanish, <BR>who came in search of gold; but North America was settled by the
Pilgrim Fathers, who came in search of God."<BR><BR>What a powerful response!

<DIV>It is powerful and it does ring true. Additionally, South
America was founded by the same people, Spanish and Portuguese
Catholics, who murdered, exiled and persecuted the Jews in the name of the
Spanish Inquisition. North America was founded by people, Puritans and
other G-d-fearing Protestants, who were in general philo-Semitic, who
believed in religious tolerance and who founded a country known for its
exceptionally benevolent treatment of the Jews. America has been the
beneficiary of Hashem's promise, "Va'avorchah mevorchecha umekalelcha a'or" (Ber
12:2).</DIV>
