Two Letters from Golda Meir, Beginning of the 1950's

Two  emphatic letters with the signature of Golda Meir, beginning of the 1950's.

* Interesting letter from 23/5/1954 encouraging aliya and settlement, while she served as labor minister - stencil print with her signature. The letter is addressed to the minister of finance, then Levi Eshkol, in which she comes out against the claim by the Amidar company for new immigrant housing that it has completed its task, given that most of the immigrants are already in Israel. She ascribes the economic distress of the company as the true reason they desire to end their activity, and not the fact the most immigrants are already in Israel, and concludes: 'We cannot cut off undertaking aliyah and settlement. I hope "Amidar" settles many more tens of thousands of immigrants in the State of Israel.'

Letter from 21/6/1953 on the topic of division of property in the Ein Charod farm. Stencil print with her signature. The letter is addressed to the secretary of the Histadrut labor federation, then Mordechai Namir. In the letter, Golda opposes the Histadrut's authorization of distribution of property seized by force from members to the Ein Charod farm. 'The agreement of the Histadrut to a situation like this will bring discord among the members and will cause "power struggles".'
