that. They can't object to Inning edu-
cated, Mercy, not Especially when
they consider what nice, complimen-
tary, broad-minded, unprejudiced
things Henry has been saying about
them, as for example the following.
culled from The International Jew,
the reprint of the Independent articles:
"It is understood that the young
Jews of the United States are propa•
gandists of an ideal that would prac•
!tally abolish the United States.
What the successful Jew may do
with his money after he gets it is an-
5
other matter, but it the getting of it
he never permits "idealistic slush" to
interfere with the dollar.
The Jew is against the Gentile
scheme of things, Ile is, wham h e
gives his tendencies full sway, a re-
publican against the monarchy, a sin
ciafist as against the republic, and a
bolsheeist as against socialism.
The countries of the world which
were most dominated by the Jews,
showed the greatest parted of Ger-
many during the recent regrettable
war. . . The sole winners of the
war Were Jews.
The food and supplies of the people
tin Germany) quickly passed into
Jewish hands as soon as the war
emergency came, and then came a
period of dishonesty Which destroyed
the confidence of the bravest.
Every influence that leads to light-
ness and looseness in Gentile youth
-
- today heads up in a Jewish source.
Historically, the whole prohibition
movement may he described as a con-
test between Gentile and Jewish capi-
tal, and in this instance, thanks to
the Gentile majority, the Gentiles won.
. . Jewish capital at one end of
the Gentile working scheme putting
the screws on the manufacturers, aim
Jewish agitators and disruptionists
and unbsersive• at the other end of
the Gentile working scheme putting
sl
the screws on the workmen. . . ,
Jatwish history as written 11 F iT - JeWS
provides mountains of proof that brib-
ery ha:. While present knowledge
amply testifies that it still IS the fav-
ar
orite and most dependable weapon of
the Jews.

It is not the economic experiment,
It
no-called, that one objects to in Ros-
a-
sia. , . it is the downright, dirty
immorality, the brutish nastiness of it
of all; and the line which the immorality
and nastiness draws between Jew and
Gentile.
In the World War just passed, there
were as many Gentiles killed by Gen-
tiles as there are Jews in the ,v nett.
It was a great victory for Israel.
The puzzling spectacle which the
observer setts of the great leaders of
the Anglo-Saxon races closely s
rounded and continuously counsela d
by the princes of the Semitic racc, is
explained only by a knowledge of
those leaders 'past' and those words
of the Proetocols—'We will manipu-

HE Jews at the present time are
very inuch in the same position
in which the Allied armies found
themselves in March, 1918, when the
great offensive of the German army
was launched to end the war by de-
stroying the French and driving the
British into the sea.
It was only because of the realiza-
tion that finally dawned upon the
Allied Powers—perhaps late, yet not
too late—that only a generalissimo
who would unite all the anti-German
forces under his command, could
crush the enemy, and because of the
resultant appointment of Genefal
inch as head of all the Allied armies,
that the day was won for the Allies.
Divided Authority.
The same trouble that the Allied
orlon s had been suffering front, by
outsell of divided authority, the Jew-
rsh is also suffering from to-
day. There is no head, no control-
ling body, which would regulate its
'le`linies. There are so many
emnerals and leaders planning and
hrtrnig towards different ends, that
the ultimate purpose—that of preserv•
iv Jewish identity, of acting in be-
half of the whole Jewish people in all
matters clamoring for solution—is
lost sight of.
That is why a careful and—I dare
say—thorough study of the situation
has convinced me that the only solu-
tion of the Jewish question, the only
salvation, the sole way out of the un-
speakable sufferings and persecutions
our brethren in Eastern Europe are
undergoing, is a Jewish World Con-
gress, which will sttpply the direction
and energy, the single-mindedness
and directing power necessary to
solve the many momentous and
pressing problems. We must keep in
mind that the multiplicity of counsel
and effort has a tendency to create
confusion, that in Jewish affairs, as
wdl as in other departments of life,
too many cooks spoil the broth."
I had felt for a long time that the
efforts to remedy the conditions
under which the Jews live, particu-
larly in the war-stricken countries of
Europe, while manifestly made with
a very commendable degree of public
'NM, have at the same time been
Sporadic, very often poorly directed
in general, wasteful and without
a P"manent and collective objective.

etc., etc.
As a matter of fact, I have been re-
liably informed, and do not doubt
that my information is shared by
many other Jews in this country and
abroad, that the government of Great
Britain, under whose mandate the
Jewish Homeland in Palestine is to be
developed, has sought to solve some
of the problems in connection with
the establishment of a Jewish State in
Palestine. by negotiating with some

Represent and Act.
My stindies of the Jewish question
the
nc beyond
have convinced
shadow of a doubt, that, at the bot-
tom. one cause is fundamentally re-
sponsible for than manifestations of
prejudice and anti - Semitism, showing
themselves in different forms in the
different countries. and that is the
lack of a body which would represent,
identify, and (act for, the 14,000,000
Jews the wor d over
The Jewish question, as I view it,
is CSSI tidally a world question, and I n
regard anti-Semitism as on obstacle
not alone to the development and
progress of the Jewish people who
Flare given to mankind great ideals
and great men and women to further
that advance of humanity, but. also as
an impediment to the progress of the
world as a whole.
Americans Must Sponsor.
As for the needs of the hour, I am
corn Owed that further indifference on
our part will result in the 'total ex-
termination of the Jewish people in
Easton Europe. and in the further
spread of anti-Semitic feeling every-
where else, and I therefore believe
that the movement for a Jewish
\\*nein! Congress should make the
strongest appeal to every Jew and
Jewess the world over, particularly in
the United States where the Jews are
hest able. under The circumstances, to
sponsor this movement.
In this connection. I would also
like to nay that the statements made
broadcast, in this country as well as
in other countries—and which have
recently received much publicity
through the efforts of a well-known
we fern manufacturer—to the effect
that there is a secret organization of
Jews conspiring against the peace and
prosperity of the world, ought to fall
of their own weight. Yet the conven-
ing of a World Congress of Jews to
openly discuss pressing Jewish prob.
lems of a grave character with repre-
sentatives of the governments of the
world, would certainly destroy, and'
do away once and for all time, with
any such suspicion of conspiracy or
any other malicious and unfounded
accusations.
Tragedy of the Jew.
In other words, the Jews behind
this movement for a World Congress
believe in inviting the public opinion
of the world to express itself with •
eferenee to Jewish questions. We
