mans alone had published
29 editions of the book,
each carrying Ford's name
on the title page and
lauding the auto king in
the preface for the 'great
service' that he had done
America and the world by
attacking Jews. The book
also was widely
distributed in America by
anti-Semitic groups.
In 1947, Henry Ford II
found it necessary to
declare publicly that The
International Jew was "en-
tirely without the sanction,
authorization or approval
of Mr. Henry Ford, the
Ford Motor Company or
(myself)."
Taking note of the
disavowal, the Canadian
Jewish Review observed,
"He was doing something
which he probably will be
called on to do at intervals
during his whole life
because his grandfather
unloosed an evil which will
not be cleaned up in the
grandson's timer It is a fact
that the book still cir-
culates, although on a
much lesser scale, both in
the U.S. and abroad.
Dr. Lewis also turned book
reviewer when he wrote about
Henry Ford and Albert Kahn
and the joint reference to
them in Architecture in
Michigan by Wayne State
University Professor Wayne
Andrews (Wayne State

University Press.) Here is his
item in Ford Country:

"Insensitive when it
came to the feelings of
Jews," says Andrews,
"Ford peddled anti-
Semitism for years without
considering the effect his
stand would have on Ford
sales or what Kahn's reac-
tion might be."
Kahn studiously ignored
Ford's anti-Jewish blasts,
none of which was directed
at the architect personally.
But Kahn felt insecure.
Even in 1923, as his
organization was doing
more work for Ford Motor
Co. than ever before, he
wrote his vacationing wife,
"Whether we can hold
them is, of course, always a
question. We'll try our
darndest." He held them,
by not rocking the boat
and through brilliant
work, until his death in
1942.
Henry Ford baffled Kahn
to the last. "He is a strange
man," said the architect
shortly before he died. "He
seems to feel always that
he is being guided by so-
meone outside himself.
With the simplicity of a
farmhand discussing the
season's crops, he makes
vast moves."
In all aspects, Dr. Lewis is
the assailant of bigotry. He is
the master writer in exposing
the anti-Semitism of Henry
Ford I.

PACs Contribute To 1987
Election Campaigns

(JTA) —
Washington
According to Federal Elec-
tion Commission (FEC)
records, 16 of the largest pro-
Israel political action commit-
tees (PACs) awarded close to
$1.2 million in 1987 to con-
gressional campaigns, mostly
to incumbent senators seek-
ing re-election.
The 16 PACs gave just
$38,000 to presidential can-
didates last year. Richard
Altman, executive director of
National PAC, one of the
largest pro-Israel PACs, said
last week that they consider
congressional elections to
"count the most" in influenc-
ing U.S. policy toward Israel.
In comparison to the
$1,189,781 dispensed by the
16 PACs in 1987, pro-Israel
PACs spent around $3.6
million on the 1986 congres-
sional races, said Morris
Amitay, treasurer of Wash-
ington PAC, which has dis-
tributed $200,000 so far to

1988 congressional cam-
paigns. A pro-Israel PAC is
one that makes campaign
contribution decisions accord-
ing to one major factor — an
individual's commitment to
the pro-Israel position.
While their numbers are
uncertain, a 1986 study by
the public interest group
Common Cause reported that
there were 64 such PACs from
1981 to 1986. Almost all of
the 16 PACs in this analysis
ranked among the 18 largest
pro-Israel PAC contributors to
congressional campaigns in
the Common Cause study.
