Has Ford Changed Front?

Who is Henry Ford that he should set himself up as the one
living man to dictate a change in the economic conditions under
which we are living? And by what right does he appeal to
the Jews to assist him in bringing about that change? Since
when has he come to realize that the Jew has vision and genius
for the economic reconstruction of the world? Is his latest out-
break not only another sign of the unreliability of a man who
changes front with the shifting of the winds?
In the light of the malicious and libelous article printed in
his Dearborn Independent under date of Jan, 7, and in which
every wicked lie that evil genius could conceive and every half-
truth which a man with a mind of a Torquemada could distort
into disparagement of the Jew is repeated, his interview pur-
porting to have been given at Dearborn to Allan L. Benson and
sent broadcast through the International News Service on Jan.
6 is but insult added to injury.
Containing as it does a left-handed compliment to the Jews
as the creators of the present monetary system of the world
and as the one people with genius and vision sufficient to change
that system so as to bring about a happier and saner world, the
interview implies what the Ford articles have repeatedly stated
and what the whole world knows to be untrue, viz.: that the
Jews control the money markets of the world. In effect, Mr.
Ford says that the Jews as the international bankers have in
their power the shaping of industrial and commercial condi-
tions; the lifting of the economic burden under which humanity
is presently staggering and the power to stabilize conditions so
as to relieve the suffering and the woe that prevails in the
world today.
Now this theory which is obviously founded on nothing more
stable than Mr. Ford's imagination, carries with it another
implication, viz.: that if economic conditions are not improved ;
if the human family shall continue to bear a weight of suffer-
ing that is already far too heavy, none will be to blame for the
situation but the Jew. In other words, the interview given to
Mr. Benson contains no less ignorance and no less malice than
all the articles that have been printed in the Dearborn Inde-
pendent and which are again reiterated in the latest issue of
that sheet.
If Mr. Ford has a grain of sincerity' in his make-up and if
he honestly desires—as he implies in his interview—to regain
even a modicum of respect at the hands of Jews or to invite
their aid in any plan that may be suggested by him in the mat-
ter of economic reconstruction, there are many things that he
must do and say. In the first place, he must prove himself to
be an American in spirit. The American is fair minded, just,
and honorable. If the American has wronged his fellow, he
is man enough to acknowledge the fact and in the measure
of his power to undo it. We maintain that by his misrepresenta-
tion of the Jew, Mr. Ford has not only sacrificed the respect
of Jews but as well the confidence of every man of every faith
who is fair minded and in spirit a true American.
The mere assertion on the part of Mr. Ford that he wished
to attack only a small group of Jews and not the masses of
them, or what is still more absurd, that he wished to help and
not hurt the Jews by his libelous attacks, can only be accepted
as the driveling of a man who has not sensed the evil he has
done.
Granted, however, that he is sincere in these protestations,
we insist that there are certain declarations which, definitely
and under his own signature, he must make and give the widest
possible publicity:
(a) He must state in unambiguous terms that no evidence
of any kind or character has been brought forward to indicate
the existence now or at any previous time, of the international
Jewish conspiracy that he has charged has been responsible
for practically all the evils that have beset the ancient and
modern world.
(b) He must make clear beyond the preadventure of doubt
or question that he knows—as indeed the whole world knows—
that the so-called "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," upon which
most of his accusations were based, were forgeries and not to
be taken seriously by any honest man.
(c) He must acknowledge in clear, plain language that de-
spite his own claims that he wished to attack none but a few
unscrupulous Jews in high places, his hireling writers did ma-
liciously attack the good name of all Jews and that he per-
mitted himself to finance the publication of their wicked lies.
(d) He must retract without reservation certain definite
charges which from time to time the writers financed by him
have made; for instance. the charge that the Jews were re-
sponsible for the World War; the charge that the Jews were
responsible for the Civil War; the charge that the Jews were
behind and responsible for the treachery of a Benedict Arnold;
the charge that Jewish women are sensuous and inclined to
immorality; the charge that the Jew has debauched the morals
of our age; the charge that the Jew has sought to undermine
the Christian religion, and other charges of similar purport.
So long as Mr. Ford lacks the courage and the manhood and
the common decency and the intelligence to come out fairly and
squarely under his own signature acknowledging that he has
been misled into publishing statements that have besmirched
the good name of the Jew and which he knows to be false, he
cannot expect the forgiveness of Jews or his rehabilitation in
the respect of Jews or non-Jews to whom the square deal is
the sign of the American spirit.
There have been times when Mr. Ford has shown himself
to be a man of courage. Even in his most glaring mistakes, the
element of courage has not been altogether wanting. But now
is his opportunity to assert a real moral courage by telling the
world in unmistakable terms that he has made a mistake in
maligning the Jews as he has. He may lay the responsibility
where he will, either upon his own ignorance of facts or upon
the fact that he has permitted himself to be played upon by
those who would serve their own interests at any cost. His
protestations that all along he has meant to help the Jews and
not to hurt them is folly incarnate. The Jew is too wise to
be fooled by "the Greeks bearing gifts."
Mr. Ford has at this moment the chance of his life. Will
he make good or will he persist in a course that shall compel
the historian of another day to write him down not only as the
fool but as the coward?

Rabbi Blau's Pharisee.

Rabbi Joel Blau of New York City contributes to the current
number of the Atlantic Monthly its leading article. It is en-
titled "The Cry of the Modern Pharisee." To many readers
this article will be their first introduction to Rabbi Blau. By
some, however, he has been known for a considerable time both
as preacher and writer. That he wields a facile and trenchant
