as difficult to disassociate the De-
troit Jewish community from Mil-

Some traditions require cen-

the monument of iron ganglia that
rears itself above the city of the
Seine, become identified with their
backgrounds in a few years. It

Not many years hence he is going to be a big strap-
ping fellow. Will he then be able to enter college,
or must he start the long, uphill struggle trying to
carve out a future for himself in competition with
others better equipped? By investing just a few
dollars a year now you can provide him with the
capital he will likely require for a successful start.
Without this capital he may be forced to struggle
through life at a job for which he has no liking.

Now is the time to plan for his start—through a

to pay his way through college, or to launch him
in business or professional life. It also provides
insurance to cover the intervening years.

A novel situation stemmed
from the inauguration of these
intellectual-social evenings. They
attracted many young women who
came for the first, serious half
of the program, unescorted; re-
mained, intrigued by the music,
for the second half; found them-
selves wallflowers. So President
Alexander organized his famous
"Battalion of Death." A coterie

men—graceful dancers, every one

lie will speak on the subject: "Ad-
ventures in the Fight for Free-
dom in the United States."
Approached on the propriety of
having a Fascist speaker on the
Temple platform—even though he
was only a participant in a sym-
posium—Rabbi Frain replied as
follows :
"Before inviting Mr. Dennis I
examined carefully all the rec-
ords of his public utterances on
the subject of Fascism. They all
indicated that he was a believer
in the so-called corporate state
which is not essentially involved
with any racial philosophy.
"His Fascist viewpoint resem-
bles that of Italian Fascism which
has neither religious nor racial
bias. What is more, I found that
Mr. Dennis, himself, had been
asked to state his views on anti-
Semitism in an article in Emanu-
el, a Jewish weekly, published in
San Francisco. Ile vigorously de-
nied any association with anti-
Semitism. I have also examined
his book 'The Coming American
raniffni' and it contain no traces
of anti-Semitism.
"In view of the fact that Mr.
Dennis' fascism is a social and
political viewpoint, I could see
no reason why it might not be
presented on a forum platform,
especially with a brilliant cham-
pion of democracy present to take
prompt issue with any misstate-
ments.
"I am rather proud of the fact
that I have been able to accom-
plish this unparalleled feat, to
bring a Fascist and a Commun-
ist face to face with each other
and make them both accountable
to an advocate of Democracy, and
expose them all to questions from
the audience."
