Samuel M. Levin of the Detroit
Junior College and Samuel C. Mum-
ford of the Detroit Board of Educa-
tion.
Edward R. Rabinowitz, president
of the University of Michigan Meno-
rah Society, said he hoped the debate
will serve as a sort of come-back for
graduates to renew acquaintances on
the campus.
Much interest is being manifested
on the campus over the debate, which
promises to draw the best Menorah
a ssembly of the year.
Fred M. Butzel of Detroit ad-
dressed the Menorah Society last Sun-
day on "How Shall the Jew Attain
a Harmonious Life?" Mr. Butzel
visualized the ideal state where no
one would be discriminated against.
He traced the life of the Jews from
the Middle Ages to this day and an-
alyzed the snit-Semitic movements
everywhere, in France as well as
America.
Mr. Butzel spoke of the ideal Jew-
ish state where the medium of speech
would be Hebrew—not the archaelog-
ical language, but the plain scientific
tongue for the writing of business
and love letters, a language to con-
verse in and curse in when occasion
demanded. Mr. Butzel's ideal was for
a state where the Jew could observe
his Sabbath as the day of rest, where
the New Year could be used as a
period of reckoning when Jews would
take account of themselves.
The Utopia pictured by Mr. Butzel
was equivalent to the self-determina-
tion of the Jews on equal terms with
other peoples of the world. Mr. But-
zel pointed out that of all the peo-
ples in the world since Christianity,
the Jews alone had no nation. Ile
pointed out that the Czecho-Slo-
vakians and the Poles were recog-
nized and re-established nationally.
Mr. Butzel inferred that Palestine as
a national homeland would exert a
great influence on the Jewish people
throughout the world and would
bring greater self-respect among the
Jews in this country.

"The glory of this does not belong
to any one race, nation or sect, nor,
above all things, does it belong to
any station in life. It was perhaps
the poorest who came here that did
us the most good by the sacrifices
they made in order to acquire riches
and bequeath blessings to their chil-
dren which they had failed to enjoy
themselves.
"We hear much these days about
the balance of trade in our favor,
although that balance is growing ap-
preciably less, even on the face of it.
"I believe, however, that in the
truest sense the greatest wealth an-
nually accruing to America, until this
bigoted policy of exclusion began, was
the tide of human wealth pouring
through our immigration stations, in-
filtrating our country and giving
value to every acre of our soil simply
by the influx of those who had the
strength and the willingness to work
it.
