“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 47, “Jewish Jazz Becomes Our National Music.”

This chapter begins with the 1920 U.S. govt. lawsuit against Irving Berlin and other Jewish officers of 7 music publishers in New York City for price-fixing and other trust-forming activity. The entire business of handling popular songs became a Yiddish business and, according to TIJ, “the jazz age” was a Jewish creation, with American youth being targeted with “sensuous sliding notes” and increasingly risqué lyrics. Other points made:

• Irving Berlin was born Isadore Beillin (later Baline) in Mogilev, Russian Federation, in 1888;
• Arriving in the U.S. at age 5–until 12 years of age, Berlin did not speak English; yet he became the #1 American songwriter;
• Yiddish song manufacturers began business in “Tin Pan Alley” located on 28th street, between Broadway and 6th Avenue;
• Jewish Jazz rode the wave of Negro ragtime popularity–Berlin’s first hit was Alexander’s Ragtime Band in 1911;
• New songs were churned out by the hundreds, only meant for short-lived popularity as in “the latest craze;”
• Preaching to music-addicted people (victims) is not effective, but rather attention should be turned on the victimizers (Jews).
