Louis Marshall is chairman of the board and of the executive committee
of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, whose principal
theologian, Mordecai M. Kaplan, is the leading exponent of an
educational plan by which Judaism can be made to supersede Christianity
in the United States. Under cover of synagogal activities, which he
knows that the well-known tolerance of the American people will never
suspect, Rabbi Kaplan has thought out and systematized and launched a
program to that end, certainly not without the approval of Mr. Marshall.
Louis Marshall is not the world leader of Jewry, but he is well advanced
in Jewry’s world counsel, as is seen by the fact that international
Jewry reports to him, and also by the fact that he headed the Jews at
the “kosher conference”—as the Versailles assemblage was known among
those on the inside. Strange things happened in Paris. Mr. Marshall and
“Colonel” House had affairs very well in hand between them. President
Wilson sent a delegation to Syria to find out just what the contention
of the Syrians was against the Jews, but that report has never seen the
light of day. But it was the easiest thing imaginable to keep the
President informed as to what the Jews of New York thought (that is, the
few who had not taken up their residence in Paris). For example, this
prominent dispatch in the New York _Times_ of May 27, 1919:
“Wilson Gets Full Report of Jewish Protest
Here.
“Copyright, 1919, by the New York Times Co.
“By Wireless to _The New York Times_.
“Paris, May 26.—Louis Marshall, who has succeeded Judge Mack as head
of the Jewish Committee in Paris, was received by President Wilson
this afternoon, and gave him a long cabled account of the Jewish
mass meeting recently held in Madison Square Garden, including the
full text of the resolutions adopted at the meeting ... and
editorial comment in _The Times_ and other papers....”
When Russia fell, Louis Marshall hailed it with delight. The New York
_Times_ begins its story on March 19, 1917:
“Hailing the Russian upheaval as the greatest world event since the
French Revolution, Louis Marshall in an interview for the New York
_Times_ last night said”—a number of things, among which was the
statement that the events in Russia were no surprise. Of course they
were not, the events being of Jewish origin, and Mr. Marshall being the
recipient of the most intimate international news.
Even the new Russian revolutionary government made reports to Louis
Marshall, as is shown by the dispatch printed in the New York _Times_ of
April 3, 1917, in which Baron Gunzburg reports what had been done to
assure to the Jews the full advantage of the Russian upheaval.
