This is a rather peculiar situation to those who do not understand how
the Jewish leaders work. Directly you say the Hylan administration is
Jewish, it is objected: “But it is the arch-Jewish inquisitor,
Untermeyer, who is trying to break down the Hylan administration!”
Exactly. That is the game. It’s inside and outside that does it. There
is power gained in making them and there is power gained in breaking
them, and often it is profitable to try both ways with the same man.
That is the way Russia went: there were Jews plentifully sprinkled
throughout the government of Russia (in spite of the “persecution”) and
there were Jews outside. Between the two, they got Russia. It is the
same in a Texas city today. Four non-Jewish candidates for postmaster
were made the center of a political deadlock—up through the deadlock
pops a Jew as a compromise candidate for all sections. A sufficient
number of Jews were available in that city to keep all the non-Jewish
candidates in a deadlock until their own man was trotted out. The
“Gentile mind,” of course, does not easily realize these turnings and
twistings of group conspiracy. And that is why the Jews feel safe, as a
rule: they rely on what they call “Gentile stupidity.” The Gentile says,
“incredible!” And the traditional Jewish game is incredible, until by
mountainous proofs and centuries of illustration the actuality of it is
forced home to the mind.
But to return to the New York City government: The police department has
its Jewish streak in the higher offices—a Jewish police commissioner who
has fortunately escaped thus far the full story of his career. The
department of health, where it actually touches the people, is Jewish,
although occasionally a distinguished non-Jewish name meets the eye in
the roster of the higher officials. The public health is becoming more
and more a Jewish monopoly in all our cities. The department of
accounts, the board of child welfare, the board of inebriety, the
municipal service commission, the board of taxes and assessments, are
all under the leadership and domination of Jews.
The judiciary becomes increasingly Jewish, litigation is almost
overwhelmingly Jewish, and the consequences to the reputation of the
courts of justice and the profession of the law are well understood.
Real estate exploitation and speculation is strictly Jewish, the
profiteers treating even their own co-nationalists with the utmost
cruelty.
In short, New York’s most influential press (within New York) is the
Yiddish press; New York’s real government is the Yiddish Kehillah; New
York’s real administration of the law is the Yiddish administration; New
York’s real politics is Jewish. A little more, and New York’s official
language would be the Yiddish dialect.
