ATTACKS ZIONIST OPPONENTS U. OF M. MENORAH TO DEBATE WESTERN RESERVE'S SUNDAY (Concluded from Page One) logic at the university; Professor 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.

CALLS IMMIGRATION LAWS UN-AMERICAN (Concluded from page 1.) "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.

"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. .......... — From the President's Desk—Talk No. 96 LAFAYETTE AND GRISWOLD ST. .... - - ...e ,,-----
