Louis Marshall leads the Appeal for Aid for Jews in this 1914 New York Times news item.

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 76, “America’s Jewish Enigma: Louis Marshall.”

• As head of the American Jewish Committee, Marshall was also head of the executive committee of the New York Kehillah, the center of Jewish propaganda for the U.S.;
• Marshall went to Georgia to defend prominent Jew Leo Frank of murder charges, while Jewish publicity grossly misrepresented the state as racist and anti-Semitic;
• Marshall was also behind the push for Judaism to supercede Chrisitianity in the U.S. — he argued against calling the U.S. a “Christian nation,”  opposed the “Sunday laws” and prayers to open assemblies and conventions;
• Though he said he devoted himself exclusively to “religious matters,” he was a leader in the fight for the abrogation of the treaty with Russia, and the right of the U.S. to restrict immigration;
• In general, he was leader in the movement to force the Jew by law into places where he is not wanted, in essence destroying the concept of private property;

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  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.”

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents: Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 35, ” ‘Jewish Rights’ Clash with American Rights.”

It is the Jews themselves that interject the religious element into the “Jewish Question.” Study of the record shows that the “rights” they demand can be summed up in the “right” to banish everything from their sight and hearing that even suggests Christianity or it’s Founder. Since 1906, with the creation of the American Jewish Committee, their demands increased in number and insistence. This chapter  details many of these demands, starting in 1899 and continuing to 1917, showing the large number of small points at which Jewish life conflicts with community life.

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 34,  “The Jewish Demand for “Rights” in America.”

The final paragraphs of Chapter 33 lead us right into Chapter 34, which spells out very clearly that the Jews did not lack rights in the United States, but were from the beginning cloaking their voracious hunger for more power in the guise of “minority rights for Jews.” Some of their demands were:

• Unrestricted Jewish immigration into the US;
• A drive to forbid the word “Christ” in public announcements and Christmas celebrations in schools;
• Removal from libraries of classics that weren’t flattering to Jews;
• Removal from office or prosecution of all public persons who criticize the Jewish race;
• The official recognition of Jewish holidays and the Jewish Sabbath.

The former became chairman, the latter campaign chairman. At the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, they played a significant role in securing Jewish minority rights within the nations newly carved out of the old empires.

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:   Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott complete the reading of Chapter 32 from last week “Jewish Supremacy in the Motion Picture World” and move on to  Chapter 33:  “Rule of the Jewish Kehillah Grips New York.”

Tonight’s episode is the first of a series of chapters describing how Jews organized to retain clan solidarity among the huge numbers of immigrant Jews, largely from Russia and Poland, that remained in New York City once they arrived. They  were organized under the New York Kehillah with the help of the American Jewish Committee.

The “Kehillah” has the same meaning as “Kahal,” which was in control in the ghettos of the “old country” and has courts today in NY City and signifies “community,” “assembly” and  government – the Jewish form of government in the dispersion. In reality, the Kehillah is an alliance against the Gentiles.

Among the Jews pictured at right are Louis Marshall (upper right), a founder of the American Jewish Committee ) and Rabbi Judah Leib Magnes (lower left), a founder of the New York Kehillah.
