By Chas H. J....11.1

"Many of the prominent Jews here claim that Ilenry Ford is
financing the entire organization of Ilackenkreuser (the anti-Sem-
ites), both in Kermany and here in Austria, as there is positively no
one here or in Europe who can furnish usch huge sums for their
propaganda work."

I submit this to Collier's and other publications that are giving Ford

This experience has not lessened the
desire to broaden the basis of Zionism.
We had here not so much the idea that
the whole people must take the Pales-
