Let us be frank: if this paper had mentioned only the names of
individual Jews, never mentioning their race, and had exposed them as
isolated persons, it would have made no difference in the general Jewish
reaction, the cry would still have been that “the Jews were being
attacked”; whereas the other people of the country would have been just
as much in the dark regarding the close bonds which unite all the groups
of evil influences in this country. The purpose of this series of
articles is to let in the light—to show the Jews generally that the
stench had become too great, and to show the rest of the people where
the stench arose.
The list of charges for the Jews of the United States to consider as
affecting the distinguished members of their race is very serious. And
the charges are true.
It is true that there is a distinct “Jewish idea” in business and
professional life which has eaten away the traditional principles of
honor on which Anglo-Saxon life was erected. Every Jew knows that, every
non-Jew knows it. Here and there a Jew in business or professional life
makes a breakaway from trickery, deception, dishonesty, and exploitation
of the gullible public, and achieves success with honor, but that Jew
also knows that the majority of his brethren in the same line practice
different methods.
It is true that behind the amazing degeneracy of the modern stage and
motion picture is a solid wall of Jewish ownership and control. This
ownership and control must bear the responsibility for the rapid and
dangerous deterioration which has come since such ownership and control
was achieved.
It is true that behind all the shoddy and make-believe and adulteration
in the staples of life is the Jewish idea of profits, “making the ephah
small and the shekel great,” and that the initiators of American
business into these shady practices were Jewish. It is idle to retort
that apt pupils have been found among non-Jews; the point is that before
Jewish influence began to be felt in American business, sound quality
and a fair price were the rule. It is the Jews’ ceaseless boast that
wherever they go they change business, but not for the better.
It is true that beneath all the network of trivializing influences in
literature, art, politics, economics, fashion and sport, is Jewish
influence controlled by Jewish groups. Their Orientalism has served as a
subtle poison to dry up the sound serum of Anglo-Saxon morality on which
this country thrived in its formative years. Is it necessary to specify?
In every movement toward a lower standard, a looser relationship,
especially toward the overthrow of the old Christian safeguards, do not
Jewish names predominate?
These charges and many more have all been made in detail with evidence
submitted, and need not be repeated here. The present purpose is simply
to get the problem squarely before the Jews of the United States.
