"The International Jew" Study Hour - Episode 78

Jan. 2, 2014

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 73, “Jews Are Silent, the National Voice Is Heard.”

This chapter was inspired by a recent (1921) Senate Resolution which was passed to investigate the Bolshevik-run Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and it’s relations with other political and quasi-political groups. This resulted in a silencing of  the usual Jewish clamour and outcry, and an American Jewish Committee invasion of Washington on various pretexts to “consult” with Senators and other officials. Interesting points:

• The newspapers are reporting from Russia that 6,000,000 Jews are in danger of violence, thus they need to flee to America;
• The writers think that American magazines have begun to pay attention to “the Jewish Question”;
• The experience of G. P. Putnam, New York publishers, in trying to publish “The Cause of World Unrest” – the American Jewish Committee harassed them up to and including threats of “Boycott” until Putnam discontinued the project;
• The ruling opinion was that the Jew must not be written about because it arouses … anti-Semitism;
• Anti-Zionist Henry Morganthau wrote an important article which the World’s Work stopped its presses to insert 8 more pages to accommodate;
• The world organization of  Zionists  that defeated the American Jews at the Cleveland convention was run by the “Jews of Europe,” which really meant the “Jews of Russia.”
