The machinery of a Jewish world government exists ready-made. The Jew is
convinced that he has the best religion, the best morality, the best
method of education, the best social standards, the best ideal of
government. He would not have to go outside the circle of that which he
considers best to get anything which he may need to advance the welfare
of his people, or to execute any program which may have to do with the
outside world.
It is the ancient machinery that the international Jew uses in all those
activities which he permits the world to see in part. There are
gatherings of the financial, political and intellectual chief rulers of
the Jews. These gatherings are announced for one or another
thing--sometimes. Sometimes there is a gathering of Jews in a world
capital, with no announced purpose. They all appear in one city, confer
and depart.
Whether there is a recognized head to all of this is yet to be
disclosed. There can be little doubt, however, as to the existence of
what may be called a "foreign policy," that is, a definite point of view
and plan of action with reference to the Gentile world. The Jew feels
that he is in the midst of enemies, but he also feels that he is a
member of a people--"one people." He must have some policy with regard
to the outer world. He cannot help but consider present conditions, he
cannot consider them without being stirred to speculate upon what the
outcome must be, and he cannot speculate on the outcome without in some
manner endeavoring to make it as he would like it to be.
The invisible government of the Jews, its attitude toward the Gentile
world, its policy with regard to the future, are not, then, the abnormal
things that some would make them appear. Given the Jewish position, they
are of all things most natural. Jewish existence in this world is not
such as woos the Jew into sleepy contentment; it is such as stirs him
into organization against future contingencies and into programs which
may shape those contingencies to the benefit of his race. That there
should be a Sanhedrin of the Jews, a world body of the leading men of
all countries; that there should even be an exilarch, a visible and
recognized head of the Sanhedrin, mystically foreshadowing the autocrat
to come; that there should even be a world program, just as every
government has its foreign policy, are not strange, uncanny
suppositions. They grow normally out of the situation itself.
