Here's how the other fellow sees us. His mane is Stanley Walker and
he is writing about the press agent profession (?) in New York.
Of all the sects which battle and sweat for publicity in New York,
the Jews arc the most insatiable. There are 2,000,000 of them in
the city and their endless enterprises pour out a vast and terrifying
flood of press matter, much of which gets into print. The bulk of
it, however, merely adds to the work of the Irish charwomen who
have dedicated their lives to keeping the newspaper offices free from
litter. It is probable that inore press material comes from the Jewish
organizations in New York than from all other source's combined.
The job has never been turned over to a competent statistician, but
it seems reasonable to estimate that if all the paper consumed by
their press agents could be sold for its junk value alone, enough
money would be raised to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, with mod-
ern plumbing throughout, and furnish every hone in the holy Land
with a new wine-press and a carload of matzos.
This will interest our professional organizers who have the "driver's
itch." Continues Mr. Walker in the American Mercury:
The Jew' is both ambitious and sentimental, and upon these two
traits the press agent plays for his own profit. Raise the cry, "Fif-
teen Million Jews Are Starving in Poland," and the Chosen People
begin shelling out instantly, coaxed on by professional campaign
managers. . . . The wonder is that no forward-looking publicist has
yet declared himself executive secretary of an association for the
discouragement of pogrom sentiment among New lurk City editors.
