Of just how many countries Mr. Kahn has been a citizen is a question not easy to determine here because of the doubt that was recently cast upon his American citizenship by a protest against his being permitted to cast his vote last year and by his failure—the announced cause being physical indisposition—to cast his vote. If Mr. Kahn is a citizen of the United States (a status that will be readily proclaimed upon proof that he is), that probably increases the number of his citizenships to three. He was a German citizen by birth, and served in the German Army. And in 1914, in August, at the time of the outbreak of the European War, when efforts were being made, which afterward succeeded, to put Paul M. Warburg, a member of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, on the Federal Reserve Board, Mr. Warburg testified that at that time Mr. Kahn was not a citizen of the United States. Senator Bristow—“How many of these partners are American citizens, or are they all American citizens....” Mr. Warburg—“They are all American citizens except Mr. Kahn.”—(P. 7, Senate Hearings, August 1, 1914.) Senator Bristow—“Now, the members of your firm, are they all American citizens except Mr. Kahn?” Mr. Warburg—“Except Mr. Kahn, yes.” Senator Bristow—“Was Mr. Kahn ever an American citizen?” Mr. Warburg—“No.” Senator Bristow—“He never was?” Mr. Warburg—“No; he is a British subject.” Senator Bristow—“He is a British subject?” The Chairman—“He lives in England, does he not?” Mr. Warburg—“No. At one time he thought he would move to Europe, and that was when the question arose of his standing for Parliament; then he changed his mind and moved back to the United States.” Senator Bristow—“He was at one time a candidate, or a prospective candidate for Parliament, was he not?” Mr. Warburg—“No; he was not; but there was talk about it; it had been suggested, and he had it in his mind. Something had been written about it in the papers.”—(P. 76, Senate Hearings, August 3, 1914.) So, that if Mr. Kahn is a citizen of the United States now, which as a matter of fact has been disputed, then he has been a citizen of three countries, Germany and Great Britain being the other two. Mr. Kahn, by the way, is one of those Jews whose adoption of another form of faith brings no denunciation whatever from the Jews themselves. A most peculiar circumstance! But doubtless not inexplicable. Mr. Kahn is not called a “renegade Jew” nor any of the other nasty names heaped upon Jewish converts to Christianity, because he does not deserve them. They would not fit him. He is not renegade. And he never was regarded for a moment by Jacob H. Schiff as anything but a Jew, else that “Prince of Israel” would not have chosen him to remain in America and run the business of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, at a time when it seemed undesirable to put the junior Schiff in full charge of it.
