3 U. H. S. Branches

Bernard Issues, superintend-

siding in that thickly populated

NEUTRALITY ISSUES
ON FORUM PROGRAM

Senator Nye to Debate Dr.
Eichelberger at Temple
Beth El

A stirring event on the program
of the Temple Forum, Temple Beth
El, during the coming season, will
he a debate between Senator Ger-
ald P. Nye, the author of the neu-
trality legislation, and Dr. C. M.
Eichelberger, the executive direc-
tor of.the_Leagaesit Nations Mso-
elation of America. They will de-
bate the proposition Can Amer-
ica be Neutral?" Senator Nye will
uphold the doctrine that America
stands ready to make such sacri-
fices in trade and world influence
as will permit her to be absolutely
unaffected by any struggle, no
matter how widespread, that may
be going on in Europe. Dr. Eichel-
berger will argue that, no matter
how hard America may try to keep
aloof from Europe, she will ine-
vitably be dragged into the first
major conflict that breaks out. It
would therefore be better for
America to join the League of Na-
tions and other world peace agen-
cies to prevent the conflict, than
to stake anything upon the hope
that she will be able to keep out
of the struggle once it has begun.
Presiding over the debate and
the discussions following the lec-
tures will be Rabbi Leon Fram.
Other lecturers on the program
will be: Norman Thomas, Sir Wil-
mott Lewis, Dr. John Erskine, Will
Irwin, Dr. Stanley Rypins, Prince
and Princess Loewenstein, Dr.
Stanley High, Herbert Agar, Louis
Corey.
All seats at the Temple will be
reserved. The best seats will go
to those who are the first to pur-
chase their season tickets. The
season tickets for the series of 10
events are $4. Individual admis-
sions will be 65c per person.

Both of these movements are part
and parcel of the conspiracy of
world Jewry to destroy modern
Gentile civilization. The Fascist
claim that 85 per cent of the Corn-
munists are Jews.
Streicher's slogan "the Jews are
in cause of our trouble" is in fact
becoming the slogan of Streicher's
American counterparts. If Amer-
ica is to tin saved, the Jews must
be defeated, they say.
These pro-Fascist leaders all
know each other and exchange
ideas, literature and letters. They
keep in touch with each other.

Detroit rabbis issued a joint ap-
peal to local Jewry to give un-
stinted material support to their
persecuted brethren in Poland dur-
ing the High Holy Days.
Copies of this touching plea have
been sent to presidents of congre-
gations by Rabbi Joshua S. Sper-
ka, chairman of the committee on
religious organizations, and Henry
M. Abramovitz, chairman of the
American Committee Appeal, ask-
ing that they take the lead in their
synagogues in this humanitarian
work by appointing active commit-
tees. All funds collected should be
turned over to the treasurer, Jo-
seph H. Ehrlich, 237 Gratiot, a,
speedily as possible for transmis-
sion to Poland.
The Rabbis' Appeal
The appeal was signed by Rab-
bis Joseph Eisenman, S. M. Fine,
Moses Fischer, S. Kleinplatz, J.
Rabinowitz, A. Schechter, Joshua
S. Sperka, Isaac Stollman, S.
Strauss, J. Thumim and M. Zager
and reads as follows:

Something Must Be Done at Once

There are certain important
facts about all of the Fascist anti-
Semitic groups that I have en-
umerated which must be kept in
mind if they are to be understood.
Their theories bear a striking re-
semblance. Many of them believe
that the source of our trouble is
gold. The gold standard is a
Jewish invention inasmuch as the
Jews have control of the gold of
the world. Therefore, destroy the
gold standard and the Jews are
defeated. Such is their simple
logic.
The facts which I have enum-
erated about the views of these
groups concerning Communism

Who spreadeth the clouds like a veil,
And maketh the dust hard as mail,

To the Builder whose measure none knows,
By whom the high heavens arose,

For the sows of His faithful will care,

Who is served by the seed to Him sworn,
Who gathereth lilies from thorn,

Whose forgiveness repentance can win,
