                                Preface


This is the fourth volume of reprinted studies in the Jewish Question as
they appeared in THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT. The articles follow the same
general line as the previous volume in showing the various angles of
Jewish influence and achievement in the affairs of the people of the
United States, but they do not by any means exhaust either the number of
the angles nor the depth of the significance in the angles traced.

Deliberate public opinion has shown many signs of a new alertness to the
movement which was proceeding deftly and unnoticed in the midst of
America, and many checks have been put in operation. The work of THE
DEARBORN INDEPENDENT was undertaken at a disadvantage because of the
tremendous emphasis of the American mind on racial peace and because of
the ease with which racial propagandists can make a purely economic and
political matter assume the aspects of a religious controversy. THE
DEARBORN INDEPENDENT opened the Question to public gaze, and was
therefore assumed to be the attacker. In this country our sense of
fairness always leaves the advantage with the attacked, and false
accusations quickly fall. The country has seen, however, the truth of
the statements and has observed the mild and unprejudiced manner in
which they were made, so that it may now be said that truth has made its
way.

Most gratifying are the signs which Jews themselves have given that
certain abuses must be quickly stopped. A Jewish leader has appealed for
the removal of the exemption which nullifies the Constitution of the
United States in favor of the Jew with reference to the use of liquor.
Other Jewish leaders have sought to compel Jewish theatrical controllers
to observe elementary decency in their productions.

These articles have always held that the cleansing must come from within
Judah itself. It is recognized that racial pride might prevent many
improvements being attempted under fire, but American Jews cannot afford
to be ruled by a false pride in this respect. These are days of judgment
for all the corruptive forces of society and the Jews cannot expect to
escape responsibility for their part in these things.

May, 1922.
