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;
