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 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.
