NEW    YORK.—The   Polish   Jew agreement   Was   again   the   subject discussion at a dinner given at tlie Ri Carlton,  New  York,  Wednesday niglit by  Samuel  C.  Lamport and  David A' Brown, national chairman of thc United Jewish Campaign, in honor of Dr, Lcoi Reich, president of the Club of JewisI Deputies in the Polish Sejm.

Assurances that part of the funds' which will be raised in the United Jew¬ ish Campaign will be devoted to amelio¬ rate the condition of Polish Jewry vvert
"It.is not true that the Fifteen Mil¬ lion Dollar Campaign will be entirely devoted to colonization work in Russia, Mr. Billikopf stated. "Wc , have left Poland great work unfinished, and are goin,f to complete it now. Part o the new campaign fund will be devotee also for the Jews in Poland and this i what Doctor Reich may bring as a mcs sage to the Jews of Poland from us."
Herman Bernstein mentioned his pre¬ vious investigations in Poland, express¬ ing his opinion that optimism must rule with regard to  future complete standing between Jews and non-Ji Poland.    Poland" will be condemned bj public   opinion   in   foreign  countries case the  Polish  Jewish  agreement wil not be fulfilled, he said.
David   A.   Brown   appealed   thi new campaign should be prosecuted by American  Jewry   without   intrernal   dis agreements,    "Let   us   carry   this  ( paign   throush   without   boxing   gl( thereby ensuring success," he said. Jews Of Ainerica Have Given Morej Than Money
"The Jews of the United States have done everything, not only in millions of dollars, but also in securing human rights for their fellow Jews in the East European countries," Mr. Marshall de¬ clared. "The minority clauses in the Versailles Treaty resulted through American Jewish intervention.
"I was happy last summer, during my visit in Geneva, to see how the League of Nations and tlie International Cour of Justice were handling minority com¬ plaints. The hope of the world resides today in Geneva," he stilted.
"Of course things in Poland are no as satisfactory as we want them to be but even in thc United States things are not as we want them to .be, and even ii New York not all things are running ab we should like to see tliein run.
Mr.   Marshall   Optimistic   About Future
"What is the reason for the antisemi- tism in Europe since the War? The' reason is mostly economic. Make ditions in Europe economically better and anti-Semitism will be forgott( The achievements fresh from Locar will be the best cure for anti-Jewish agitatioti and repressions in countries looking for scapegoats for rtationah ills
"I see the future of the Jewish situa
tion all over the world very optimistical-

Acceptance of Proselytes Into Judaism Is Decided At Conference of Rabbis
Manual For Preparation of Proselytes Approved;    Proselytes    Must    Re¬ nounce  Belief In  Personal  Mes¬ siah  And  Accept  Kli^gdom of God   Taught   By   Judaism
CINCINNATI, O., —The acceptance of proselytes into Judaism today was the problem which caused an interesting di of opinion among the delegates attending the Central Conference of American Rabbis in session herq.
Tl;e question came up before the con feren?e when Rabbi Joseph Ranch, o Louisville, Ky., presented a report of the Coihmittee for the Preparation of Manual for the Instruction of ProselyK According to Dr. Rauch's proposal, the manual is to consist of three parts.
Judaism Open To Anyone Who Makes It His Guide
The first part is to deal' with a histoi presentation of Judaism's attitude to the non-Jew, The ain:i will bo to show those who are interested in becoming Jews that the Jewish religion is open to anyone who wishes to make it his guide. The Committee deemed this first step necessary because the non-Jewish world both believes and teaches that the] Jews arc tribal in their religious outlook, that they are not at all desirous of ceiving non-Jews into their midst and that at best they only offer to the prose¬ lyte lukewarm hospitality and not the warmth of the habitation of a home. The tone in which all this is .to be set forth is to be positive, historic and sym¬ pathetic.     Polerriics   are   to   be   rigidly

A. E. Phi Sorority To Hold Open House Tomorrow (Sunday) November 1st
The Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority will ,fko\d open house tomorrow (Sunday) Nbvember 1st, at their new home. No. 7C Eighteenth Ave. between the hours of 3 and 5 p. m. and from 7 to 9 p. m All are welcome. The house was recent¬ ly purchased in the name of the sorority - it 'has been completely ' remodeled and will house 1-1 girls.
Ivreeyoh Anniversary Supper on November 15 at The Talmud Torah
The third anniversary of the Ivreeyoh society wilh be celebrated in a most .pre¬ tentious and elaborate fashion on Sun¬ day evening, November 15 at the Tal¬ mud Torah. Nothing will be spared to make this celebration a complete cess. A special feature of the evening will be- a supper prepared by the ladies of the society. Watch Chhonicie for moff information.
This position is to be illustrated with quotations from the Bible, Talmud anc post-Talmudic literature.    These quota- will be few but clear, emphatic and authoritative. - As an illustration, thc re¬ port cited God's command to Abraham spiritual messenger and blessing to the families of .the earth  (Gen. 12) The   passage   in   the   56th   chapter   o Isaiah:    "Let not the stranger say that the Lord hath utterly separated me from his people," leading up to the well-known passage, "For My house shall be called house of prayer unto all nations, is is to be added an explanation that is  was  not a theory but was  widely practised;   that   bringing   men   to   Goc. through Judaism  was  always  the  high task and mission of Israel.   "We might even  use, the testimony of  the Gospel when  it   speaks  of   the  Jews  crossin'?! the sea and land to make one proselyte Dr. Rauch stated. Toward the end of the first p'art w • a brief explanation why the Jewish people have desisted from active prose lyting in  the  last two  thousand years This  part   should  close  with  a  strong | statement iti clear and simple language inviting those to whom Judaism is 1 hightest expression of  religious life join the faith.
The second part of. the Manual is consist -of three parts. The first part is to be a brief synopsis of the histot-y 'of Israel. The purpose of this is acquaint the convert with Judaism's place and purpose in the world. The second part should set forth the cardinal teach ings of Judaism to be presented to the| proselyte.
No  Dogma or Theology To Be Re quired of Proselytes
"These should be as few as possible The applicant for admission to Judaism] should not be overawed with a mass o theology and dogma. We should not de mand more of him than the loyal and intelligent Jew knows of, or gives to our faith. Our attitude should not be one that will frighten the applicant away I hut rather one that will attract him. The principles which underlie the liberal movement in Judaism should influence the content and form of the instruction given to thc proselyte," Dr. Rauch stated.
"The applicant should be taught: Our
conception  of  God  along the  lines  of
ethical monotheism; Individual respon-j
sibility vs.  vicarious atonement;  Reve

A  real  estate boom  without Jews  is cc   an   explosion   without   noise.     Il >u  want an explosion you  must have c noise, and if you want a real estate mm   you   must   have   the   Jews   with the   noise   included,     Florida   has   pro¬ duced   several   millionaires   and   sever.il million   liars.     If   you   could   believe irything' Jews   tell   you   about   their deals   in  that  land   of   palm  and   sun- .hiiie, you'd wonder how they would ever ;ij;ain look with  favor toward Zion.
In Mi^mi matters came to such 1 pass about July and August that they began to arrest and fine the chosei real estate people for blocking traffic with maps and blue prints. If a Jew nnich as 'took out pencil and paper the streets to study the profits o Israel he was promptly haled before his honor to the tune of twenty ant cor.ts. The hotels took drastic steps patrol tlieir lobbies and invite everyone not a guest to visit thc out- The Ponce de Leon in particular heroic efforts to escape an odious Jewish designation, but in vain for even now nobody enters the place on   his  own   hook  except   Ford's   ene-
Knows Land Values
The Wandering Jew knows - lane vahies well enough to recognize a landslide when it is done on water bj of paper. The fact that he may be a spiritual leader instead of tcrial follower does not thereby stifle his native talent for- good business As an illustration, Dr. Jasin, form rabbi of Miami, recently sold the Temple lot which cost $17,000 for $2ir),0OO. In announcing this faci through the medium of his Yom Kip- pur sermon, he took occasion thereby to censure the board of directors for passing baskets on that holy day garner in the Contributions of visitin? realtors. His righteous indignation became so vehement that he nounced further his fast approaching state of independence. One more acreage deals and he would tel them all where to get off, even to the point of sniffing, at his own salary. Such' are the realty benefits of clergy Undoubtedly our 'rabbi's monetary iccess may be attributed to his lack : covetousness; therefore thc reversi hick of those Jewish "binder boys' who this summer came down fron 'Nu Yawk" .to clean up everything ot Miami Beach. Adopting the tactics familiar game, they played with contracts like jack potsj bidding each other for binders and raising the until at the expiration of the allowcc thirty d^y period the document of sale had passed through a dozen hands and the price had been boostci and   three   times   its   origina
[ o ffall bets, did,a funeral marcl: for home, and considered themsclvc! lucky to save even their "hinder pants'
Today nobody buys real estate ii Florida on the mere prospect of sell¬ ing the binder in thirty days. If a buyer hasn't the wherewithal to make tbe first cash payment, he simply doesn't buy. The results have beci extremely salutary in that the exam- of the binder boys has tended to stabilize and to put on a legitimate basis the whole matter of Florida property.
to be expected that the olt :io Jews wanted'' would be raised in a scene of so much Jewish activity. Carl G. Fisher, who first made and later betrayed Miami Beach, was the first to deny Jews thc privilege ot buying ' his exorbitantly-priced proper- His systematized rancor goes as to blacklist any broker who makes even resales of his stuff to a Jewish buyer. When asked the rea for his position, he always an- ; in the same fashion, "Look what thc Jews did to South Beach!' While it is true that thc Jews have made a miniature Atlantic City Beach, it nevertheless seems evitable that this was the logical am mcnt center for bathers. And whether others owned the property there¬ abouts human nature would still have ed hot dogs, cold beer, dance halls and colorful amusement places.
