There is talk in Reform .lewish rabbinical circles of starting a missionary movement to bring Gentiles Into the Jewish fold. Il was brought up at a recent institute of'Reform Theology in the Hebrew Union College In our town.
Rabhl Israel Malluck of the Reform iiersuasion in England said; "In world freer thaji the present one from religious preju¬ dices, Judaism may well make many converts and I should readily accept any proselytes who come lo It wilh a sincere desire lo give it their devotion."
Rabbi Albert S. Goldstein of Tremont Temple, N. Y., said: "More than all we must propa¬ gate Judaism through active proselytism. Judaism Is no mere tribal cult. It U a universal faith."
For myself, were I q rabbi, I wouldn't care to make a pursuit after converts. There are too many competitive religions as It is; too much of religions trying to outsell each other, like drum¬ mers  In  the  refrigerator  trade;

ISRAEL   MINISTER  UROEH
PRIVATE INVBSTMENf
IN .IEWISH STATE
BOSTON, (JTA) — A plea for Amerlcahs to make private In¬ vestments In Israel was made here by Mrs. Golda Myerson, Is¬ rael's Labor Minister, at the 2'7th nationai convention of the Labor Zionist Organization of Ameri¬ ca.
Dr. Nahum Golditiann, chair¬ man of the Jewish Agency's American section, called for an alliance between the "progres¬ sive, c(mslructive and liberal type of General Zionism and Labor Zioni,sm as a basis for a real partnership between the Zionist movement and the state of Israel." Dr. James G. Heller of Cincinnati, told the 1,000 con¬ vention delegates .lews are now coming lo Israel from the Easl, "l)Ut the spirit of the land must he of the West."
Mrs! Myerson said that it is important to establish n e w plants in Israel for two rea.sons: firstly, hecause Israel must pro¬ duce some of the things that the .fewish stato must now Import and in that way save foreign currency and. secondly, because Israel must create permanent places of employment for new Immlgr.'mts.
loo much mu.sqellng In and grabbing off the members of oth¬ er religions. It God minds this absurd contest In the least, He must" laugh Indulgently at the way His children play, like a good father who In his kindness endures the tumult ot the kids in his hou.se.

High Commissioner for Germany, lo deliver al ils Chicago conven¬ tion an aijoiogetic report nn the ftiilure of carrying out an effec¬ tive denazification program a- mong the Germans was defended here by Frank Goldman, nation¬ al president of B'nai B'rith.
¦Speaking al Iihe 08lh annual convention nf B'nai R'rilh Di.s- Irlcl No. 1, Mr. Goldman lold the l,.'iOO guests and delegates that .Mr. Butlenweiser's report was a "calcuUiled Insult" to the Jewish people. He revealed that the An- tlDefamatioO .League had not Invited Mr, Butlenwelser to ad¬ dress Its Chicago parley but had acceded to a request received from members of Mr, Butlen- wel.ser's family.
Declaring that "It would have been an Insult to his audience to let Mr. Butlenwelser speak." the B'nai B'rith president said that there was no denial of free speech, since the doctrine of free speech does not compel one lo provide a platform "for someone who has retiuesled that platform through his family."
