B'NAI B'RITH An International Anti-Christian, Pro-Communist Jewish Power D y j u i u i i v i e r i i c K W i u c n * "B 'na i B ' r i th Represents Jewry" "B 'na i B ' r i th represen ts J e w r y t h roughou t the wor ld!" , declared L u d w i g Lewisohn at a B 'nai B ' r i th banque t (B 'na i B ' r i th Magazine, July, '37 issue, page 352). " T h e r e are more than 450 lodges in the Uni ted S ta tes and Canada . . . B'nai B'r i th serves J e w r y " , says the June, '38 issue (page 398). If the claim of B'nai B'r i th, Jewish f ra te rna l order , tha t it represents J e w r y in th i r ty countr ies including the Uni ted S ta tes and Canada is justified, then Jewry is t o be pitied, either for mis represen ta t ion by B'nai B ' r i th o r fo r ant i -Chris t ian and radical sympathies bound to resul t in anti-Semitic opposit ion. A reader of the official o rgan of B'nai B'r i th, "B'nai B ' r i th Magazine, A Nat iona l Jewish Month ly" , w h o knows the radical m o v e m e n t in detail, cannot but be s t ruck by the consistent praise of Socialists and Com- mun i s t s in its columns, the complete absence of criticism of Red revolut ionary activity, the virulently ant i -Chris t ian sen t iment and activity of the Order , and the huge funds a t its disposal to purchase the services of preferab ly Genti le religious f r o n t s to defend such Jewish activities. T h e y a re even secur ing Fundamen ta l i s t Christ ian min- isters as their propagandis ts , which is more clever on their pa r t than on the par t of the sincere Chris t ian w h o unwi t t ing ly be t rays his L o r d fo r th i r ty piece^ of silver. Opposing the Scriptures and Passion Play F^esamablyf Christ iai ís m a s t forced to changa the Bible to suit B'nai B ' r i th and to cease giving the Passion P l a y in accordance wi th the Scr iptures . T h e Gospel says (see Mat t . 27:15-27 and other. Gospe l s ) : " N o w at tha t feast the governor was w o n t to release unto the people a pr isoner , w h o m they wou ld" and Pi la te said, " W h o m will ye tha t I release un to you? Barabbas , or J e sus which is called Chr i s t?" W e are told how Pi la te washed his hands of condemning Jesus as he saw no fault in H i m but tha t the Jewish "chief pr iests and elders persuaded the mul t i tude tha t they should ask Barabbas and dest roy Jesus" and "when Pilate saw tha t h e could prevail no th ing . . . then released he Barabbas u n t o them . . . then answered all the people, His blood be on us and on our children." St . Pau l said ( I Thess . 2:14-15): " F o r ye b re th ren . . . have suffered like th ings of your own coun t rymen even as they have of the J ews w h o both killed the L o r d Jesus , and their own prophets , and have persecuted us ; and they please not God, and are con t ra ry to all men." A picture of an Aus t r ian Pass ion player ' s beaut i ful representa t ion of Jesus Chris t appears on page 333 of the Ju ly 1937 issue of B'nai B ' r i th Magazine in an article denouncing " T h e Aust r ian Pass ion P l ay" as "one of the mos t vicious anti-Semitic diatr ibes I have ever wit- nessed . . . comparab le only to the wor ld f amous and great ly- to-be-deplored Pass ion P lay of O b e r a m m e r g a u " (which is purely Scr ip tura l ) . T o quote Nov. '37 issue, B 'nai B ' r i th Magazine, p. 86: "Park Board Cooperates in Passion Play Cause": " H o w B'nai B ' r i th ' s An t i -Defama t ion League succeeds in enlist ing the sympathe t ic cooperat ion of responsible officials in mat te r s of ha rm to the Jewish people m a y be seen in connection with the Pass ion Play" . I t relates t ha t a f ter the complaint by B'nai B ' r i th ' s An t i -Defama- tion League, a P a r k Board official answered B'nai B ' r i th servilely, saying, " I am really very glad that you called Page 2 the ma t t e r to my at tent ion. . . . Should occasion arise w h e r e ' a n y t h i n g similar to the Pass ion P lay comes up again , you m a y be assured we shall take advan tage of your kind offer to help us steer text and action away f rom any possibilities of con t r ibu t ing to an ant i -demo- cratic development of ill-will or racial misunders tanding ." P resumably , the official had the Bible s tory changed to suit B 'nai B ' r i th . Cont inuing under the sub-heading, "Publisher Sees the Light" is th i s : "Typica l of very many similar cases is the fol lowing: A por t ion of a newly published book contained an account of the life of Jesus . One sentence r ead : 'But when he began to be well known, certain leading men a m o n g the Jews grew jealous and persuaded the R o m a n governor to let t hem crucify him.' T h e League immediately b rough t this to the a t tent ion of the publ isher and pointed out t ha t ' the great weigh^. of scholastic opinion denies tha t Jesus was crucified by the J e w s . . .' A f t e r a f r iendly correspondence, the pub- lishers agreed to change the of fending sentence in fu tu re editions, to 'But when H e began to be well known, certain leading men a m o n g the Jews opposed His teach- ings, and H e was cruc i f ied . by order of the R o m a n Governor.

T o quote the Dec. '37 issue, p. 122: " W e know Jewish ladies who effuse secularly over Chris tmas . . . 'O, ' they say, ' I t ' s not the religious implications of Chris tmas that appeal to us. I t ' s the sentiment . . . kindness, justice, chari ty and all t h a t . ' " T h e y are urged to observe Jewish Chanuka instead. T h e Dec. '32 editorial had similar admonitions. This Is Not a Christian Country? In an editorial advising the Jewish minori ty not to go into politics f rankly as Jews (March '34 issue, p. 226) is this : " H o w we protes t when any public official so far forgets himself as to call this 'a Christian coun t ry ! ' " Jewish Kehillahs Oppose Christian Festivities " In Palestine, Babylon, Egyp t and Spain, and for cen- turies in most of the countries of Europe, there has always been some sort of organized Kehil lah" (Com- muni ty Council of Jews) , says the article headed "20 Exper iments in Uni ty" (June '38 issue, p. 351) and sub- headed, "Jewish Community Councils in a Score of Cities Serve Local Jewries in Many Important Ways". A m o n g the twenty different "experiments in unity" of Jewish Kehillahs in the United States described, is this ( June '38 issue, p. 351): Eliminating Easter and Christmas Celebrations "11. Elimination of Objectionable Religious Practices in Schools : In Bridgeport and Cleveland, the councils persuaded" public school officials to stop Eas te r and Christmas practices which had been embarrass ing to the -Jewish children and had found serious objection among Jewish parents who had hesitated to deal with the mat ter individually." Although there is a large body of law upholding the view that the United States IS a Christian power** and B'nai B'r i th Magazine even admits this on page 151 of the Feb. '33 issue, yet American gentile children must be denied the pleasure of singing Christmas carols or enjoy- ing Eas te r festivities if B'nai B'r i th has its way. Hillel Foundations Against Christianity An article in the Jan. '34 issue, entitled "Saving Stu- dents from the Missionaries", is a plea to "the Jews of .America to aid B'nai B'ri th morally and materially, not only to make it possible to continue this splendid serv- ice" (of. establishing Jewish student centers at univer- sities called B'nai B'r i th Hillel Foundat ions) "but to enlafge it . . . A fur ther answer to this conference is the continuous g rowth and development of Jewish Com- munity Centers", etc. The subject of the article was a report of a missionary conference "on the Presentat ion of the Christian Mes- sage to the Jews" held at Budapest and W a r s a w at which it was said that now that Jewry was free and out of the ghetto, they were "gloriously reachable." T o this the article replied, " I t is lamentable in the wri ter 's opinion that Jews in America permit to go unchallenged such statements". " T h a t Christianty is a part of the Common Law of the United States has been held in many cases. Following a re a few of them: Vidal v. Philadelphia, 2 Howard (U. S. S.) 127, 198; Shover v. State, 10 Arkansas 259; State v. Chandler, 2 H A R R (Del) 553; State v. Bott, 1 La. Ann. 663; State ex. rel. Nevada Orphan Asylum v. Hallock, 16 Nevada 373; Luedemuller v. People, 33 Barb. (N. Y.) 548; People v. Ruggles, 8 Johns. (N. Y.) 290. This subject is handled with vigor and with great clarity in the case of Holy Trini ty Church v. United States, 143 U. S. 457,468 (1891). The court in part said, on page 470: "While because of general Recognition of this t ruth , the question has seldom been presented to the Courts, yet we find in Updi- graph v. The Commonwealth, 11 S. & R. 394,400 ( P a . ) , it was decided that 'Christianity is, and always has been, a part of the Common Law of Pennsylvania. ' " In the State v. Rosenstrausch, 5 N.J .L .J . 186, Woodruff, Judge, said that a person guilty of blasphemy could be pun- ished under the Common Law. Jewish Radicalism Noted But the writer goes on to say, "The Conference warns that wise people will be chary of laying too much stress on the fact that many of the younger enfranchised Jews have cast aside religious beliefs and sanctions, and have embraced revolutionism in religion and politics . ^ now turning to materialism, agnosticism or communism." Hillel Director Red-Supporter The Hillel Foundations of B'nai B'r i th should be suc- cessful in "Saving Students f rom the Missionaries", since the national director is Abraham L. Sachar, an official sponsor of the communist American League Against W a r and Fascism congress held in Pi t t sburgh, Nov. 1937. (For the treasonable activities of the Amer- ican League Against W a r and Fascism, now called American League for Peace and Democracy, its forma- tion by the Communist International , its Communist officers, its promised role under Communist Pa r ty leader- ship of turning any war of this country into Red civil war for the over throw of the U. S. government and the establishing of a Soviet America, the appearance of Com- munists within our armed forces at one of their previous Congresses pledging their aid to the Red revolution and the over throw of our government , see " T h e Red Ne twork" by Elizabeth Dilling, page 124, and "The Roosevelt Red Record and I t s Background" by the same author, page 61, with documented citations.) Rabbi Mann Same Type T h e acting national director of B'nai B'r i th Hillel Foundat ions in 1933 was Rabbi Louis L. Mann* (Feb. '33 issue, p. 155) of the Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union (which f rom coast to coast springs to the legal defense of all phases of Communism, atheism, rioting, and obscenity), etc., etc. Half Million for Anti-Defamation League T h e fifteenth General Convention, 1938, authorized "the raising of an emergency budget of $500,000 for B'nai B'r i th 's Anti-Defamation League and $100,000 for • the B'nai B'ri th Hillel Foundat ions" to carry on such work as the above (June '38 issue, p. 340). No wonder, with such funds, that the March '38 issue could report (Page 238) that " O U R A N T I - D E F A M A - T I O N W O R K IS B E I N G P R O S E C U T E D O N A S C A L E A N D IN A W A Y U N K N O W N IN T H E P A S T " . B'nai B'rith Praises Soviet Russia and Jewish Communists " I s Judaism Doomed in Soviet Russia?" is the title of companion feature articles in B'nai B'r i th Magazine (Mar . '33), one author saying " N O ! " and the other "YES!" , but both praising the Communist Soviet regime! To quote the " N O " man (Norman Bentwich) : " I t is certain that the principal prophet of the prole- tarian movement was the German Jew, Kar l Marx, whose picture hangs in every public inst i tut ion and whose book 'Kapital ' is the gospel of the Communis t creed; that another German Jew, Ferdinand Lasalle, whose heroic statue adorns the Nevski Prospect of Leningrad, was one of the inspirers of the early revolutionary par- ties; that Jews have, f r om the beginning to the present day, played a part in the creation and the maintenance of the Revolution; and that for no community has the Revolution brought about a greater change of status than for the Jews." (They dominate Russia now.) "The essential feature about their community is that the Jews, and particularly the younger generation, feel at home and par t and parcel of the new order. T h e y are proud of their share in the councils of the Revolution of Tro t sky who organized the Red Army (though among non-Jews he is in disgrace and his name is not men- tioned) and of the Jews holding high positions in the Foreign Office and other ministries, in the Army and the Navy, in the economic councils and academies. Pag e 3 Jewish Prominence " W h e n we landed in Leningrad, our interpreters and guides f rom the State Tour is t Organizat ion were usually Jews and Jewesses. I t is the function of the J ew to be the interpreter of Soviet Russia to the world and of the world to Soviet Russia; for he fo rms the principal ele- ment in the proletarian society which has close touch with the W e s t e r n European culture and languages. In the trains and on the ships we continually met Jews proud of their people. They hold up their heads and say ' I am a Jew' , though they do not add, in the words of the Prophe t Jonah, 'I fear the Lord ' . . . In the towns such as Kiev, Odessa, Berdichev, where the Jews are -a quarter or more of the whole population, there are Yiddish law courts and Yiddish codes of law, and Yiddish is an official language. But the Rabbinical law that used to regulate Jewish family affairs may not be applied. . . . Many of the younger Jews are anxious to get rid of the slender survival of separateness, the Yiddish language. . . . Jewish Racial Pride "Yet Jewish pride of race is still s t rong, and ardent Communis ts talk proudly of the equality which has been won for Jews and of the achievement of the Jews in the political and economic movement . They are con- scious Jews in spite of their Communism; and if they are opposed in theory to the Jewish national home in Palestine, they are eager to learn what is happening ,there . • . w e may expect that the Jewish mass of Russ ia will not die, nor will it be merged with the Slav peoples. . . . The re had to be destruction before there could be new life, as well in the Jewish body as in the body politic of Russia. T h e spiritual" motive of the Revolution goes back to the principles of Socialism in the teachings of the Hebrew prophets, even though the Communist denies the rock f rom which he is dug." "YES!" Man Praises Communism Also T o quote the author, who says " Y E S ! " (Pier re Van Paas sen ) : "Yes, it was true, I was told the new life had a s t rong de-Judaizing tendency. Not because anyone forced the youth into new channels. Nobody interferred with a young man if he wanted to be a Talmudist I t was the new life itself tha t was drawing Jews ir- resistibly into new channels. But were they happy, these old ones? . . . 'You still feel yourself a Jew then?', I asked. 'Still a Jew? I am more of a Jew than ever! Now, under the new regime, it is at last possible to be a real Jew. My father can' t . . . because his spirit is im- prisoned by all the old traditions. But I am free and my sister is f ree and we go the new way! ' . . . Ninety percent of the Jews of Russia are hear t and soul in the upbuilding of the new world." More Praise of Godless Communism An article praising^ the state of the Jews in Soviet Russia headed "Judaism Is Dead in Russia" (May '34 issue of B'nai B'r i th Magazine, p. 270), says: "Children were forbidden formal religious instruction until they reached the age of eighteen." And the author wonders if Jews will get along without God, but reflects tha t : "Judaism has always been concerned with more than God. Jews have been held together not only by what is called religion, but also by the bond of peoplehood culminating in the hope of Zion restored. . . . Russia was the very fountain head of Jewishness before the revolution. . . . Accompanying the destruction of Judaism and Zionism has come a f reedom Jews have never experienced anywhere else in the world. . . . Stalin's second in command is Lazurus Kagonowich, a humble Jewish leather worker, who through sheer ability has placed himself in line to succeed Stalin as the Communist leader of Russia. . . . Russia is the only country in the world where anti-Semitism is a crime. . . . If I were to sum up what has happened to the Jews of Russia under the Communist regime, I should say—new opportunit ies and an intensified social idealism, but the destruction of all specifically Jewish Spiritual values." 50,000 Jews Laud Soviet Russia Bearing in mind that Biro Bidjan is a Soviet territory, purely Communist , and is represented and aided in the U. S. A. by the Communis t Par ty ' s organization, "Icor", the article in B'nai B'r i th Magazine (May, '38 issue, p. 309) is significant. T o quote: "More than 3,000 persons who filled Manhat tan Opera House in New York, heard Alexander Troyanovsky, Soviet Ambassador to the United States, denounce 'inter- national reaction and anti-Semitism.' " (Any opposition to Communism is called "reaction", these days, or "fascism".) "The occasion was the 10th anniversary of the grant ing of Biro Bidjan to the Jews by the Soviet Union. T h e meeting was sponsored by Icor. A golden book of friendship, signed by 50,000 Jews, was pre- sented to Mr. Troyanovsky, expressing appreciation for the establishment of Biro Bidjan." (50,000, take note.) B'nai B'rith Praises Radicals An idea of the B'nai B'r i th at t i tude toward Socialism- Communism can be gleaned f rom the pages of its own organ. No te the following characteristic items. A Jersey City Rabbi who had been denounced as a Communist by certain Jews is defended editorially1" and the ant i -Communis t Jews repr imanded and warned that they should have stood up for him ins tead , / ' s ince our safety is in saving democracy." (July '38 issue.) "Democ- racy" is the camouflage word now used for "Commu- nism". Deplores Burning Red Books The burning, in Germany, of books by the following Reds was denounced as "Nazi t e r ro r i sm": Up ton Sinclair* (world Socialist-Communist leader whose writ- ings have been published by the Soviet Government ) ; Romain Rolland and Henr i Barbusse, French Communist leaders; Heinrich and Thomas Mann of the Communist International Wr i t e r s ' Association in Defense of Cul- ture (see p. 61 of "The Roosevelt Red Record and I ts Background") ; Kar l Marx, "father of Communism"; Lion Feuchtwanger , of whom B'nai B'r i th Magazine, itself, says in an article of praise (Jan. '33 issue, p. 103), "he sympathizes with Communism"; Eduard Bernstein, German Jewish Socialist; etc. Jewish Medal for Red Holmes John Haynes Holmes, who endorsed an atheist pam- phlet and whose communistic record is one of the long- est and most outs tanding in "The Red Network" , was, like Roosevelt, awarded the Jewish Zeta Beta Tau f ra terni ty Gottheil Medal "for the American who has done most for Jewry during the preceding year. T h e recipient is selected by a committee of editors of the Anglo-Jewish press of the country." (June '33 issue, p. 267). Justice Cardozo was praised for his "defense of the r ight of Communists to hold and expound views he believes to be erroneous" (the old Communist-defending and blame-dodging line) and his backing of the Com- munist-backed and writ ten Child Labor Law, really "child-control" law (May '33 issue, p. 249). Red Jewish Activities in Germany An article on "German Anti-Semit ism" (May '33 issue) says : "The revolution overthrew the imperial regime of Germany, passed through a s torm in which, as in 1848, the Jews more than ever came to the fore. A Jew draf ted the Weimar Constitution. A Jew, K u r t Eisner, was elected President of the Bavarian Republic. On the corpses of Ballin, Rathenau, Rosa Luxembourg Page 4 and K u r t Eisner, the Brown Shirts began their fatal march." Kur t Eisner was a Socialist leader and Rosa Luxem- bourg with Kar l LiebkneCht* was killed in t rying to Sovietize Germany under Lenin. ' Hit ler is thanked by B'nai B'r i th 's Pres ident for "those who have come and enriched the culture of their new homeland." H e named such discarded Jewish Reds, whom we now have, as Frieda Wunderl ieh, Max Wer the imer , Ar thur Feiler, Arnold Brecht, Karl Brandt , all of whom are now on the faculty of the pro-Com- munist New School for Social Research (on whose board Mrs. Roosevelt served), where the sex filth of Freud is wallowed in so extensively, with lecture af ter lecture on degenerate and unnatural sex subjects. Of course, Communist Einstein a n d . Red Thomas Mann, etc., he also welcomes. (Jan. '38 issue, p. 175.) B'nai B'rith and Epstein A long eulogy of Abraham Epstein* with the state- ment that he never forgets that radical Isaac Max Rubinow, late National Secretary of B'nai B'r i th (on the board of communistic Commonweal th College, etc.) was his teacher and they worked together for socialistic social insurance. Epstein 's radical connections include being on the board of directors of socialist-communist League for Industrial Democracy, etc. H e is best known as execu- tive secretary of the radical American Association for Old Age Security* (name altered now) , with Nicholas Kelley, son of the translator of Communis t Engels, as t reasurer , along with Glenn Frank, etc. Wm. E. Dodd and His Red Son B'nai B'r i th 's President praises (Feb. '38 issue, p. 206) W m . E. Dodd of the Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, who since his re turn f rom Ger- many as Ambassador has been making speeches for nu- merous Jewish groups and under Communist ' auspices. His son, now being backed by Pres . Roosevelt as a Virginia Congressional candidate, is on the staff of the communist American. League for Peace and Democracy, according to" "Fight" , official organ of the American League for Peace and Democracy, 5/38, p. 57, and 1/38, p. 28. (American League against W a r and Fascism,*f was its former name.) T h e April '38 issue denounces the arrest of the com- munistic sex specialist, Sigmund Freud (p. 266). Red Jew Fights Anti-Semitism A long eulogistic article about the Russian-born Social- ist, Prof."Morris R. Cohen (sponsor of Brookwood Labor Collage*, commit teeman of red American Civil Libert ies Union, etc.), appears in the Feb. '38 issue, saying tha t af ter 35 years he is ret i r ing f rom teaching at the College of the City of New York to give his full t ime to fighting anti-Semitism. After telling of the tr ibutes paid him by such radicals as John Dewey*, Felix Frankfur ter* , Ber t rand Russell* (communist , atheist, free love exponent) , Judah L. Magnes* (of the communist Garland Fund) , the article concludes that " H i s new day cannot fail to be as brilliant as the old." French Reds Favor Exiled Jewry Recognit ion that Communism and Jewry are linked together is shown in the B'nai B'ri th comment (Dec. '37 issue, p 131): "F rance regained her traditional mood of generosity to refugees" (German Jewish Reds) " f rom persecution when the Popular F ron t won its electoral victory last year." Full page ads for the books of the militant, atheist Red, Haldemann-Jul ius , with order blank to order directly f rom B'nai B'ri th Magazine, appear in the March and April '34 issues. Haldemann-Jul ius is noted for his athe- ist, sex, birth control, Socialist publications. H e is on the board of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism. Einstein Approves B'nai B'rith Albert Einstein's endorsement of B'nai B'ri th work and his photo are featured prominently. Einstein*t is quoted as saying at a B'nai B'r i th conference in Newark, N. J . : "The mos t effective influence is tha t which is dorie quietly. I do not know another organization which can do this work as well as B'nai B'r i th." Einstein 's property was confiscated im Germany because he is a Communist . His Communist connections, with the communist W o r k - ers Internat ional Relief, revolutionary Wor ld Congress against W a r organized by the Communist International, etc., are part ly covered in "The Red Network" . H e has recently been supporting a student, Paul Beeck, at com- munistic Commonweal th College (Commonweal th Col- lege Bulletin, 1/1/35) and been on the board of sponsors of a Roosevelt socialistic Federal Subsistence Home- steads Project , Paradise, N. J., etc., etc. B'nai B'rith Joins with Zionists A B'nai B'r i th "Uni ty Dinner" b rought together the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Con- gress, and B'nai B'ri th, in celebration of the 94th anni- versary of the founding of B'nai B'rith, with the three presidents of these organizat ions as speakers, Cyrus Adler (member of the council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, author of "Jacob H . Schiff, His Life and Let - ters", etc.), Rabbi Wise*, the Zionist leader and out- s tanding radical, and Alfred M. Cohen, B'nai B'r i th pres- ident. A Joint Council of these three organizations was announced (Dec. '37 issue, p. 125). B'nai B'rith A. C. L. U. Executive Praised Rabbi Philip David Bookstaber of Har r i sburg , Pa., was called "one of the most active B'nai B'ri th workers in District N®. 3" and his Boy Scout (!) work was cited. (April '34 issue, p. 256.) Bookstaber is chairman of the Pennsylvania State Commit tee of the Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, which is on the batt le line legally for every phase of Communism all over the U. S. A. Rabbi Edward L. Israel* eulogizes B'nai B'rith, hnd its Ant i -Defamat ion work, particularly, in the May '37 issue (p. 284). H i s numerous Red affiliations listed in " T h e Red Ne twork" include the national Council of the socialist-communist League for Industr ia l Democracy, two of whose sections are combined with tKe Com- munist -Party 's organizations, etc. Estelle Sternberger B'nai B'rith Editor Estelle Sternberger*+ of the radical Conference for Progressive Political Action campaign committee (com- posed of Socialist and Communist suppor ters) , etc., edits the woman's page of B'nai B'r i th Magazine. She devoted her page (May '38 issue, p. 312) to praise of Red Leon Blum, author of the filthy sex, anti-relig- ious book "Du Mariage"; she praises Salmon O. Levin- son*, president of the Communists ' meet ing place, Abra- ham Lincoln Center (Chicago), etc., also Theresa Mayer Durlach, a war t ime radical and chairman of radical Wor ld Peaceways, with which Estelle Sternberger is also connected, along with N o r m a n Thomas and other leading radicals (July '37 issue, p. 346). B'nai B'rith and Sex Teachings Whi le Christians are deploring the Red insistence on sex talk and teachings, and the resul tant t rend toward changed and loosened sex relations, the B'nai B'r i th article, "Made in Heaven?", says: "Whi le the press of the country is current ly studded with articles about the organized movement for changed at t i tudes toward m a r - riage, little note has been made of the impor tant par t Jews have been and are taking in the new development" . I t tells how marr iage institutes devoted to sex were first introduced ten years ago by Rabbi Landman, as a B'nai B'r i th Hillel Foundat ion director at the U. of Wisconsin, and says: "Today, such insti tutes are held in leading universities throughout the country."

Abraham Stone, who are connected with J o h n Haynes Holmes ' Red Communi ty Church in New York, running a sex Mar - riage Consultation Service, are praised, as is Rabbi Sidney E . Goldstein* for his work along this line. Dr . Hannah Stone is a contributor to the Communis t press, sponsored the 1937 communis t Internat ional Labor Defense drive for funds for jailed Communists , was a sponsor of the Communis t Pa r ty ' s b i r thday celebration for the much-jailed Ella Reeve Bloor of the Communis t Pa r t y Central Committee, etc. Goldstein's Red connections include the Communist- aiding American Civil Liberties Union, National Religion and Labor Foundat ion which distributes outr ight Com- munist propaganda and atheist cartoons, etc. Glenn Frank Contributor Glenn Frank*f , who, as president of the Universi ty of Wisconsin gained it the nickname "Lit t le Moscow", writes an article praising B'nai B'ri th Hillel Founda- tions in the Feb. '33 issue. F r a n k has been compli- mented by radicals for his "liberal" views on sex. H e was a protege of the Socialist Jewish capitalist Edward A. Filene*f who financed the N.R.A. and Socialist co- operatives. A long article (Dec. '37 issue, p. 132) praises Rosika Schwimmer* and tells of the tr ibutes paid her by Sylvia Pankhurst*, (organizer of the British Communis t Pa r ty ) , Communist Einstein*, Communis t Romain Rolland*, and Margare t Sanger* (who started her Birth Control work with the Anarchis ts) , and recounts also her revolutionary activities in Hungary , and how she was denied U. S. citizenship—all in a tone of highest admirat ion. B'nai B'rith Defends Communist Party "Jewish Leader Defends Boston Communist Pa r ty at Hear ing" is the heading of the account in the Com- munist Par ty ' s Daily Worke r (Nov. 1, '37, p. 7). T o one knowing that the principles of the Communist Par ty are the organization for bloody révolution, mass murder , mass theft , and enforced atheism under iron dictatorship, with t he Soviet Russia dictators as examples and leaders, the account is reveal ing: "Before recessing last week, the Committee inves- tigating minority parties heard Judge Rose, B'nai B'rith leader in Boston, test ify tha t his organization believes the Communist Party has the right to agitate peaceably for its principles. Another Jewish leader, Maurice Gold- smith, recommended a thorough exposure of anti- Semitic and Nazi organizations in Massachuset ts . Thus Jews Link Themselves with Communism Defending the Communis t Pa r ty and fighting anti- Semitism are habitually linked. Judge David A. Rose, according to his own "Who ' s Who!' , has been president of Amos Lodge of B'nai B'r i th since 1936, and is a Zionist and a member of the Zionist administrat ive board of the New England region. B'nai B'rith Dissolved as Subversive Some unders tanding of wha t made the anti-Semitic Nazis in Germany " that way" may be gleaned f rom the s ta tement of B'nai B'r i th that , before its German lodges were dissolved as subversive organizations, in 1933 in Germany, B'nai B'rith, to quote, "constituted, with their families and relatives, it is safe to say, not fewer than 100,000 of the less than 600,000 Jewish people in Ger- many." ( June '37 issue, p. 321.) Of course, Cordell Hull, representing the pro-Communist Roosevelt regime and Samuel McCrea Cavert, General Secretary of the radical clique controlling the Federal Council of Churches which cooperates closely with B'nai B'r i th and receives finan- cial support f r o m it (see Federal Council Report for 1936, p. 212), protested the banning of B'nai B'r i th fn Germany (B'nai B'ri th Magazine, May '37 issue, p. 252). Zionists Defend Communist T h e Communis t Par ty ' s Daily W o rk e r heralded on its editorial page, March 8, 1938, the following: "Jewish Liberal Religious Organ Assails To ry Attack on Gerson". "The Reconstructionist , a Zionist and liberal Jewish religious bi-weekly publication, in its cur ren t issue took a s t rong stand against the present react ionary campaign to remove Si Gerson f rom the staff of Borough Presi- dent Stanley M. Isaacs. Gerson is a member of the Communis t Par ty ." T h e Zionist editorial is then quoted as saying, "Today it is the Communis t Pa r t y that many would out law; tomorrow it may be the Socialist Par ty , and the day after the C.I .O." (For , indeed, all three have the sanre Marxist principles and objectives.) B'nai B'rith for Spanish Reds B'nai B'ri th appealed for aid for the Communis t - controlled Loyalist forces of Spain through the American Friends of Spanish Democracy (May, '37 issue, p. 262). T h e June 1933 issue (p. 264) praised Inacio Bauer, president of the Jewish Kehillah of Madrid, and berated the fact tha t "Spaniards everywhere still spoke of the Jew as though he were . . . a cancer in Spain." But ant i -Communists might also berate as cancerous the honors paid to Jewish fighters for the church- burning, anti-Christian, Communist-controlled govern- ment of Spain by B'nai B'ri th, editorially, Dec. '37 and the B'nai B'r i th account (Mar . '38 issue, p. 234). T o quote : • "Some of America 's most prominent Jews united in sponsoring a memorial meet ing in New York City in honor of Samuel Levinger, 21-year-old Jewish youth who was killed in action a few months ago while fight- ing with the Loyalist government forces in Spain against Fascist rebels. Speakers included Dr. Stephen S. Wise*" (Red Zionist leader), " James W a t e r m a n W i s e " (his son, and director of the American Students Zionist Federat ion; associate editor of the communist People's Press ; member of the national bureau of the com- munist American League against W a r and Fascism, etc.) "and Dr . Lee J. Levinger, Samuel 's father ." (Author of B'nai B'ri th Ant i -Defamat ion literature.) Raising Funds for Spanish Communists "The New York meeting was held to raise funds with which to buy an ambulance for the Spanish Loyalists in memory of ' those heroic American Jews who gave up their lives in Spain in the struggle against international Fascism.' " (By "Fasc ism" they mean, in Spain, "anti- Communism".) "Dr . Israel Goldstein"* (pres. of the Jewish National Fund to which B'nai B'r i th donated $100,000), "Dr . Solomon Lowenstein, and Dr. Stephen S. Wise* were sponsors of the committee, which included Rabbi Milton Steinberg, Dr . Salo Baron, Morris Carnovsky, Prof . Morr is R. Cohen". {Socialist now retir ing to fight fo r Jews against anti-Semitism), "Felix F r a n k f u r t e r " * ! (a Roosevelt Red advisor and power) , "Dr . Jacob S.

Newman, Dr . David de Sola Pool, and other outs tand- ing Jewish leaders." Jews Fighting in Spain for Communism "Jewish Life—published monthly by New York State Jewish Buro, Communis t Pa r ty" (Jan. 1938 issue, p. 16), in an article entitled "Jewish Fighters in Spain", says.: "Jews f rom practically every corner of the ear th are fighting in the Loyalis t t renches of Spain today. . . . Page 6 The American boys who came back were most impressed by the broad distribution of Jews in practically every International Brigade". The article goes on to describe the Jews f rom Germany, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Po- land, etc., boasts that more than half of the Americans in one battalion were Jewish and that Yiddish was the common language and, to quote: "We are beginning to publish a bulletin of the International Brigade in the Yiddish language." Biblical Prophecy Such rigorous Jewish efforts for racial solidarity as are seen in every walk of Jewish life in every country, the anti-Christian, atheistic Red revolutionary activities of so many Jews abetted by their capitalistic Jewish allies, are paving the way, even now, for the punish- ments and fulfillment of prophecy. God's word will be fulfilled. A Christian's Duty to Jews A Christian's duty is to try to have some part in con- verting the "remnant of Israel" which God says will be willing and worthy to be saved, but it is not to con- done J e w i s h anti-Christian activities and cover over with "good will" the Jewish race as such, for, racially, in this age, the Jew is under God's curse, and, like the Gentile, the Jew can, and can only, be saved by faith as an individual. God's ultimate promises were not to the whole Jewish race by any means but only to a "remnant of Israel", who will look upon "Him whom they have pierced" and be finally restored to grace after Armageddon (Zech. 12:10; Rev. 1:7). "" Jews Still A B'nai B'rith article telling how the Jews of Majorca were forcibly Christianized (Mar. '34 issue, p. 189) says: "Wander up and down that tragic street, look in at the shop windows. Linger not too long or you will be urged, in the politest Spanish manner tinged with an undefiled Semitic insistence, to enter the shops and buy. Observe closely the faces which you see and there will be no doubt that -they are Jews. . . . They are Jews, racial Jews,' however, even though they are the most devout Catholics in all the island." As the Bible Prophesied This is so in keeping with the word of God in the Bible, which states that the Jews would remain a sepa- rate race, to be dealt with separately, exiled without a King or scepter as they have been, punished, driven back to . Palestine finally and that all but a third of them would be destroyed for the sins denounced by God ' through all Biblical Jewish prophets and Jesus Christ. Anyone knowing the Bible prophecies knows that, although the Arabs have the legal right to Pales- tine, still the Jews will get it, and the beginning of their most awful punishments will take place when they think they are enjoying the greatest material felicity. Amazing Power of Jewish Kehillahs As previously quoted f rom "20 Experiments in Unity" (B'nai B'rith Magazine, June '38 issue, p. 351): " In Palestine, Babylon and Spain, and for centuries in most of the countries of Europe there has always been some sort of organized Kehillah". Some idea of the political power and racial solidarity and submission enforced by these Jewish Kehillahs can be gained by this report (Dec. '37 issue, p. 138): "Three Jewish-owned firms in New York City, charged with violating the boycott against German goods, declared their readiness to abide by the decision of an arbitration committee. The committee was composed of repre- sentatives of the firms and the Joint Boycott Council and an impartial chairman. Tha t committee found the firms guilty, and fined them $75,000, to be paid over to charities. They were accused of selling large shipments of furs f rom Germany." Can one picture any legal court of law extracting such huge fines so readily? Again, editorially (Mar. '38 issue, p. 227), B'nai B'rith announced: "The 'excommunication' that has been de- creed by the Budapest Kehillah bans all Jews engaged in illegal financial transactions and in other business activities that bring dishonor upon the Jewish com- munity." In all countries racial solidarity is encouraged. The affiliation of the Seville Kehillah with the Barcelona Kehillah was announced in the April '33 issue, p. 203. Jewish Catholic Betrays Christianity for Jewry Editorially (Jan. '38 issue), B'nai B'rith Magazine re- joiced: "The happier news of the past month had to do with one Archbishop Franz Cohen. . . . The Jews of Kromeriz in Czechoslovakia were observing with spe- cial exercises the 50th anniversary of the death of Archbishop Cohen. . . . Archbishop Cohen was no con- vert to Catholicism but was born a Catholic of Jewish descent. Archbishop Cohen was a man renowned in the church and, of course, was buried with all the dis- tinction becoming a great leader of the hierarchy. Yet his will brought the effect of a startling announcement. . . . He had left his entire estate including a Castle to the Jews of Kromeriz. I t is not clear by what inspira- tion the archbishop was prompted at his death to con- vert all his earthly estate to the religion of the people of his descent. His castle became the Kromeriz syna- gogue and to this day most of the Jewish undertakings in Kromeriz are supported by the revenues f rom his estate." (Donated by Christian believers!) Martin Luther's Opinion Incidents like this of racial fidelity to Jewry and be- trayal of Christianity perhaps prompted Martin Luther to say that if. he baptized a Jew he would want to hold him under until he drowned, to be sure that he would not recant. Numerous Biblical prophecies, such as Zechariah 4:8, tell us that after that long punishment and the final reckoning at Armageddon only a third of Jewry will be allowed to survive by God. These prophecies are interestingly paralleled by the Zionist report that two- thirds of the Palestinian Jews vote for Socialist (athe- istic) delegates. Zionism Is Socialist That Zionism is Socialist is related in the "Jewish Frontier", organ of the League for Labor Palestine (June 1936 issue, published f rom 1225 Broadway, N.̂ Y. City), in an article entitled "Is Palestine Socialist?": "The discussion of the last Zionist Congress in Lu- cerne left one with the impression that Palestine is now altogether controlled by the socialists, that essentially, Palestine is already a socialist state . . . a right-wing speaker, pointing an accusing finger at the socialist dele- gates to the Congress . . . concluded his speech with an emphatic appeal to the Congress: 'Deliver us f rom the new bondage which the Histadrut has put upon u s ! ' " (Jewish Socialist Labor Organization.) "Just how much truth is there in these words? Actually socialist influ- ence in Palestine is unusually strong. One meets social- ist institutions everywhere. Nearly all the bus lines of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem are operated by socialist workers ' cooperatives. They also serve most of the inter- city land-transportation. The socialist building-trade guilds erect numerous houses. T h e beautiful modern amphitheatre on Haifa 's 'main street' belongs to the Histadrut . Nearby, to the left, there is a modern build- ing housing a magnificent restaurant, spacious meeting hall and library, all of which is the property of the Histadrut. Flanking its r ight is the sick-insurance build- ing, also belonging to the Histadrut . Near the Bay of Haifa a gigantic garden-settlement in construction will accommodate seven thousand families. It, too, is a proj- ect of the Histadrut. One comes across branches of the Workers ' Bank, and is immediately informed that it is the second largest Jewish bank in the country. The stores of the 'Tnuva' offer for sale milk, butter, honey Page 7 and eggs which were produced by socialist communes and cooperative farms. T h e y a re enterprises of the His tadrut , the largest t rading organization of the coun- try. ' " T h e same is t rue of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the smaller cities. They all are honeycombed with work- ers' clubs, cinemas and libraries, fine workers ' settle- ments and schools . . . . T h e mos t remarkable contribu- tion of the Histadrut , however, consists of the socialist- communis t fa rming set t lements, the kvutzot. . . . They are the real fulfillment of a socialist Utopia . . . More than 80 per cent of the industrial workers , .'office work- ers and fa rm laborers belong to the His tadru t t rade unions. Two- th i rds of the Jewish population voted for socialist delegates to the last Congress. Thus the His tadrut has a specific influence on the Zionist execu- tives. I t is the bearer of the Jewish renaissance. Jewish Revolutionary Heritage " W h a t is the secret of the unusually powerful pres- sure exerted by the socialists in Palestine? . . . I t ' i s the tradition which the early pioneers have established in Palestine. They were the turbulent restless revolu- tionaries and socialists of the uprooted, capitulated Rus- sian and Austr ian dynasties. T h e y rebelled against the old order and wished to realize in Palestine their na- tional and social dreams and aspirations. Out of this spirit arose the Kvutza and the His tadru t . . . . If the European village is dominated by ultra conservative mores and traditions, the Jewish Palestinian village, on the contrary, breathes the air of a living socialist t ra- dition. If the European village is fundamental ly counter- revolutionary, the Jewish Palest inian village is revolu- t ionary. Marxism Jewish "Perhaps the origin of this unified thinking and feel- ing may be traced to the deep-rooted social heri tage of the Jewish spirit. Bialik has remarked that 'The finest and most exalted features of socialism are a product of the Jewish spirit, the frui t of the al l-embracing philos- ophy of life, of our prophets. ' . . . Weizmann came to the very same conclusion at the Congress: 'Perhaps there seems to be something in Marxism which person- ifies the teachings of the Jewish prophets. And in the His tad ru t I find the only harmonious synthesis of these teachings, which were realized not in empty space but on the ungrateful soil of Pa les t ine . ' " T h e article con- cludes wi th: "The socialists will adminis t ra te the cities of the fu tu re Palest ine." A m o n g regular contr ibutors to this Zionist Socialist magazine is Leon Blum, leader of the recent Socialist- Communis t Red Fron t government of France, who wrote the filthy anti-religious book "Du Mariage" in which he recommends not only the typical Socialist principle of free love, but recommends that middle aged men seduce young girls so as to fit them to take care of the boys of their acquaintance in an experienced way; he sees nothing wrong in incest and thinks marr iage should be deferred until late in life when one is tired of pro- miscuous sex adventures,, which he advocates. H e thinks children could be cared for somehow by the families of promiscuous couples until the state is ready to take care of them (as in Russia) . Blum a Zionist Blum's article headed "Leon Blum Salutes . the His1- tadrut" , a salutation and endorsement of the w o r k ' of the His tadru t on its fifteenth anniversary, appears in the same issue as the article above, and to quote the magazine 's comment on him: "Leon Blum . . . has been associated with Zionism since af ter the W o r l d W a r . . . . H e was one of the sponsors in the making of the League for Labor Palestine. H e is a member of the Pro-Pales t ine Committee of the Socialist In te rna- tional", etc. B'nai B'rith Salutes Zionism B'nai B'r i th Magazine, editorially, heads as "Hopefu l *News f r o m Palest ine" the news tha t "the Labor Marit ime Company has been organized by the His tadrut . Al- ready $100,000 has been subscribed by the His tadru t and $150,000 more will be sought by sale of shares in the United States." The encouraging words of Com- munist Albert Einstein are also quoted. (May 1937 issue, p. 251.) Irreligious Zionism Deplored by Jew An article on Adolph Ochs as a Jew (Jan. '33 issue of B'nai B'r i th Magazine, p. 220) shows aware- ness on his part of the na ture of Zionism, its anti- religious Socialist character . T o quote: "Hi s chief ob- jection to Zionism was not on the political .or economic score. I t was this: the Jewish religion had but a small par t in the Zionist program. A number of leaders were atheists, agnostics, irreligious. I t irked him that the proposed Hebrew Universi ty did not include a depart- ment of theology. 'A culture center', he called it, 'with- out religion.' " A photograph of Judah L. Magnes as Chancellor of the Hebrew Univers i ty in Palestine, with 14 members of the faculty who had been exiled f rom Germany, appears in the March '34 (p. 193) issue of B'nai B'ri th Magazine. Magnes* was chairman of the executive com- mittee of the Kehilla (Jewish Community) .of New Y o r k f rom 1909-22, according to his own sketch in "Who ' s W h o in America" (1934-5). H e was a director of- ' the red Garland Fund*, which supplied the Communist- Socialist-I. W . W.-atheis t revolutionary movement with sustaining funds. H e was an organizer of the infamous "People 's Council"* during the war , barred f rom several states, which, according to its own literature, was "mod- eled a f te r the Council of W o r k m e n ' s and Soldiers' Coun- cils, the sovereign power of Russia today", and which widely distributed the Soviets' proclamation appealing for Red revolution everywhere. H e was exposed in the Congressional exposure of radicals and has more re- cently been acting as Palestine correspondent of the National Religion and Labor Foundat ion which dis- tr ibutes outright Communis t revolutionary literature and propaganda and atheist cartoons. B'nai B'rith Supports Zionism A t B'nai B ' r i th 's Supreme Lodge Convention, Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the Jewish National Fund (see "The Red Network" for his Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, National Religion and Labor Foundation, and other Red connections), praised B'nai B'r i th for under taking "to make available through his Jewish Nat ional Fund a $100,000 tract in Palestine", and to plant the memorial forest "to honor the memories of two great secretaries of B'nai B'ri th. the late Dr. Boris D. Bogen and the late Dr. I. M. Rubinow." (June 1938 issue, p. 359.) T h e donation is to purchase 4000 dunams of land for a "B'nai B'r i th Nachlath Alf red M. Cohen" colony (Jewish Sentinel, 1/13/38, p. 31). B'nai B'rith and the "Jewish Frontier" B'nai B'r i th Magazine- (June '38 issue, p. 365) carried an advert isement with special blank for B'nai B'ri th members to subscribe to the "Jewish Front ier" (in which the article quoted above " I s Palest ine Socialist?" ap- peared) . Praise for this radical Zionist magazine is cited f rom Ludwig Lewisohn (a contributor himself) , Felix Frankfurter*")", whose 100 " H o t Dog" boys r )sta- tioned in key places in the Roosevelt regime are said by General H u g h Johnson to wag their tails fur iously at the mention of "Moscow," and by radical Rabbi Stephen S. Wise*, Zionist leader. B'nai B'rith Claims Blum as Jew On p. 367 of the same issue of B'nai B'r i th Magazine appear favorable reviews of two books. T o quote the Page 8 one on "Leon Blum, Man and S ta tesman" : " In the work we are considering now, we have the first authorized definitive biography of this unusual man and Jew, whose work and influence are far f rom waning in France. . . . According to his biographers, 'as Leon Blum's life un- rolls itself before us, we see the Jewish strain in him never faded. H e grew up in a Jewish household, he was nur tured by a Jewish mother ; for years he ate Jew- ish cuisine in the Jewish way. H e breathed a Jewish atmosphere. ' " Socialized Palestine T o quote the other review on "Palest ine Collectives", called "Deep Fu r rows" : " I t mirrors most effectively the struggles, the ideals, and the achievements of Jewish youth in the socialized colonies of the Holy Land. As the author indicates 'Our goal is the creation of a new society in our old land so that we may take our place among the races s t ruggl ing for a better world. ' " (For a Socialist Red world.) B'nai B'rith Secy, on "Jewish Frontier" _ Among others listed as regular contr ibutors to the ' "Jewish f r o n t i e r " was the la te , I saac Max Rubinow, national secretary of B'nai B'ri th, in whose honor they are now planting a Palest ine memorial forest . H e was on the board of the notorious little communist Com- monweal th College*t at Ména, Arkansas (financed by the communis t Garland Fund, by Justice Louis D. Bran- deis (Zionist) , by the Jewish socialist Internat ional Ladies Garment W o r k e r s Union, and other radicals) : A legislative investigation revealed the,atheism, nude bath- ing and fcee love activities accompanying the training of Red agi tators there. In Red Company Othe r s listed as regular contributors include Com- munist Albert Einstein*, who has been support ing a student at Commonweal th College and whom B'nai B'r i th Magazine praises continually; Sigmund Freud*, one of the, official sponsors of the communist W o r l d Congress Against W a r (which was barred f rom several countries) , whose text books of anti-Christian sex filth, put out under the guise of science, have, perhaps, most stimulated the worse- than-barnyard l i terature and brazen immoral college teachings of modern times; Norman Thoma's*, Socialist Pa r ty head; radicals E. C. Lindeman*, Louis Adamic, Edward L. Israel*, Chas. A. Beard*f (of the communist American League Against W a r and Fascism*, Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, etc., etc.), Sidney Hook* and Horace Gregory* (who served on the same Communist Pa r ty campaign , committee) ; C. Har t ley Grat tan* of the communist John Reed Club group; and Thomas Mann, who was appointed to the W o r l d Presidium of the "Internat ional Wri ters ' Association for the Defense of Culture" (Red culture), set up by the communist Wr i te r s ' Congress held in Par is in June 193,5 (a long with Sinclair Lewis, Communis ts Maxim Gorki of Russia, Romain Rolland, Henr i Barbusse and Andre Gide of France, etc. See page 62 of "The Roosevelt Red Record and I t s Background.") . B'nai B'rith Welcomes Mann B'nai B'r i th editorially (June '38 issue) says enthusi- astically: "To the citizenship of the United States we welcome Thomas Mann." Roosevelt Sends Son to B'nai B'rith On the next page is thè account of James Roosevelt br inging in person his father 's greet ings to the B'nai B'r i th convention, and on the next page is reproduced President Roosevelt 's effusive letter greet ing and praising B'nai B'rith. Communism and Zionism One H o w supposedly hostile Socialist Zionism and Com- munism intermesh, as Socialism and Communism always do, for they have the same Marxis t stem and aim, is shown in a eulogistic article headed "Reuben Brainin at 75" (Aug.-Sept. '37 issue of B'nai B'r i th Magazine) . He worked for both Zionism and Communism. Brainin is called a "pioneer Zionist whose interest in and activity for the Jewish homeland antedates the first Wor ld Zionist Congress, is one of the builders of Hebrew literature, and the courageous exponent of Jewish coloni- zation of Soviet Russia". . . . It relates how he, born in Russia in 1862, edited vari- ous Zionist journals, advocated the Hebrew University in Palestine, which idea "bore f ru i t when Chaim Weiz- man took up the university idea and carried it to com- pletion" (with ,Red Judah L. Magnes heading it), at the fifth Zionist Congress; how he was honorary vice- president of the Zionist organization of America and returned to New York in 1917, where he has lived ever since, how he visited Palestine and Russia and toured South Afr ica in 1929 in enthusiastic behalf of Jewish colonization work in Soviet Russia. As there is carried on a jealous brother ly dicker be- tween Jews over the degrees of importance between set- tling Palestine and colonizing Biro Bidjan, Soviet Rus- sia's Jewish state, Brainin was accused of "assisting the Jewish section of the Communis t Party">; and of "failing to deny reports in the Communist press quoting him as having made anti-Zionist speeches". His accuser was Bialik, who called him a trai tor to the Zionist cause, and finally there was a Jewish Zionist Congress all-night trial held in Berlin in 1929. T o quote: "The verdict of the court was that Bialik was justified, but as a sop to Brainin, Bialik was rebuked for using intemperate lan- guage. Brainin forgot his personal differences when Bialik died, and hailed him as ' the personification of modern Hebrew culture' . . . . Brainin Worked for Both "Since then (Brainin) has championed the Biro Bid jan" (Soviet colony) "project in season and out without renouncing one jot or title of his Zionism. As guest of honor at a huge massmeet ing in Madison Square Garden in celebration of the proclamation of Biro Bidjan as an autonomous Jewish terr i tory, Brainin, then 72, received a tumultuous ovation . . . Brainin said . . . ' I declare that any Jew who ignores his duty to help in the upbuilding of Biro Bidjan is guilty of a sin against his people'. . . . "His contribution to Jewish life", concludes the B'nai B'r i th article, "is his adherence to the principle that the fate of the Jewish people comes first, whether part isan slogans for the solution of the Jewish problem agree or not." B'nai B'rith for Jewish Solidarity And this is the continual refrain of the B'nai B'r i th- racial solidarity policy. Regardless of religion, politics, principle, nationality—always the Jew is urged to keep himself separate and in a solid f ron t against everyone else. B'nai B'ri th Magazine (Jan. '33, p. 90) took the samé att i tude in an editorial headed "Certainly, H e W a s One of Us" , concerning Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza, who was excommunicated f r o m the Jewish religion; yet B'nai B'r i th pointed out "he is one of us", and said, "Jewry may well acclaim his life", for it doesn' t mat te r that Jews "see the wor ld" through different mental "windows"—all are Jews. B'nai B'rith Tries to Fool the Public A growing awakening on the par t of the public of the extent of Jewish radicalism evinced the defensive an- nouncement by the B'nai B'r i th president at the 1938 convention, "that in every country there are very few Jews in the Communist movement". Because the reverse is true, the s ta tement in the same issue is pertinent, tha t $2,000,000 had been raised for B'nai B'r i th 's Anti- Defamat ion League, Hillel Foundat ions, and the junior Page 9 B'nai B'r i th "A.Z.A." in the 1927-29 "Wider Scope Cam- paign" of B'nai B'r i th. Also ( June '38 issue, p. 345) "the convention endorsed B'nai B'r i th 's decade of co- operation with the Nat ional Conference of Jews and Christians for the promotion of good will." Millions would not have to be spent for "good will" work if there were not some real cause for ill will. Putting Christians to Sleep Through B'nai B'rith's National Conference of Jews and Christians Evere t t R. Clinchy, au thor of a B'nai B'ri th article (Jan. '38 issue), entitled "A Decade of Good Will" , has been director of the National Conference of Jews and Christians since 1928, and was secretary of the Com- mittee on Goodwill between Jews and Christians of the Federal Council of Churches, and secretary of the Federal Council itself, 1928-33. T h e radically-controlled Federal Council of Churches is financially supported by B'nai B'r i th and works closely with it, as may be seen f rom the following f rom Clinchy's article: B'nai B'rith and the Federal Council "Ten years ago the National Conference of Jews and Christians was born. F o r four years before that the Federal Council of Churches and B'nai B'rith had pioneered, gingerly, yet bravely on the Committee on Goodwill between Jews and Christians. Today the Na- tional Conference is the only effort of the kind in the world aiming on so vast a scale to t r ans fo rm the atti- tudes of individuals and religious groups to each other. . . . T h e immediate struggle concerns itself with the preservat ion of democracy".

Also the Soviet govern- ment and all fo rms of Communist-Socialist dictatorships are now being called "democracies", which thoroughly misleads unsuspect ing Americans.) "Since the beginning, B'nai B'ri th has cooperated with and advised with the" Nat ional Conference of Jews and Christians. In the days of the Federal Council 's Com- mittee on Goodwill between Jews and Christians, Dr . Boris Bogen" (Nat ional Secretary of B'nai B'r i th) "was an inspiration, guide and friend. As years went on, the scientific genius of Dr. I. M. Rubinow" (succeeding National Secretary of B'nai B'r i th) "influenced the prac- tices of the National Conference of Jews and Christians. Dr . Rubinow took an active p a r t ' in many of the seminars and institutes of the National Conference and advised with Dr. Landis, our research secretary" (who helps issue the radical Federal Council p ropaganda that has shocked all informed Christians who oppose the modernistic, atheistic Red movement ) .

Religious News Service "B'nai B'r i th has helped in t he promot ion of the Religious News Service.

A Half Million to Color Your News Read that over and reflect how your news is being colored in the press. Wi th a fund of $500,000 for the coming year, how many Chris t ian-front propagandists can be purchased to do their bit to prevent opposition to Jewish radicalism? Of course, one can count on all informed radicals to defend Jewish bro ther -Reds with- out payment , but as B'nai B'r i th Magazine stated (June '33, p. 266) in connection with a Jewish anti-Hitler demonstrat ion staged in New York, in which they re- fused to part icipate: "B'nai B'rith favors protest meet- ings called by non-Jews of prominence." Radio Propaganda for Jewry A report of the .nationwide "Good Will" broadcast , featur ing as speaker Red Rev. Ernes t F. Titt le* (of the Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, of the revolutionary League for Industr ia l Democracy, two of whose sections, unemployed and student, are amalgamated with the Communis t Par ty , etc., etc.), appears in the Nov. '37 issue. "Los Angeles Lodge (B'nai B'r i th) reaches an esti- mated 10,000 persons each week in good will radio broad- casts. These broadcasts are heard each week through- out the Pacific Coast region f rom the W a r n e r Bros. Motion Picture Studio in Hollywood, and all are on the general subject of good will. Los Angeles Lodge has been doing this work for five years, with increas- ing recognition." (Nov. '37 issue, p. 98.) Pho tos of " T h e Three Co-Chairmen of the National Conference of Jews and Chris t ians" appear in Clinchy's B'nai B'ri th article (Jan. '38 issue), entitled "A Decade of Good Will". T w o of these are : the Jewish .represen- tative, Roger W . Strauss, and Newton D. Baker*, who called himself a practical Socialist but who stayed in the Democrat ic Pa r ty to get things done, according to the communist Daily W o r k e r , and who served to the day of his death as a vice-president (with Mrs. Roose- velt) of the communis t—Garland—Fund—suppor ted Na- tional Consumers ' League which was led by Florence Kelley Wischnewetsky, t ranslator and disseminator of the teachings of Communis t Engels (co-author with Marx of the Communist Manifesto, the "Bible" of Com- munism-Social ism). Hayes' Revolutionary Course Carlton J. H . Hayes* is another of the three. T h e most illuminating bit about his work is to be found in the autobiography of the Russian-born Jewish Com- munist , Joseph Freeman, "An American Tes tamen t" (pages 119-20). Describing Hayes ' course at Columbia University, which he took, Communis t F reeman says: "Half of it was devoted to the industrial revolution. Re- quired reading included the Communist Manifesto, Proudhon ' s book on the nature of property, the works of Owen, Fourier, Saint-Simon, Kropotk in" (the An- archist) "and Wal t e r Lippman, then emerging as a radical publicist with his 'Preface to Polities'. Rich students f rom Riverside Drive, Flatbush, Chicago, Des Moines and points west crammed nights for exams in Page 10 the agitation of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels . . . While it lasted, most of the students, regardless of their social origin, professed to be anarchists, socialists or syndicalists. The re were practically no apologists for capitalism. Students f rom the mos t conservative families found rational explanations of the war-shaken world in the writ ings of the various revolutionary schools. Some of them talked openly of renouncing the money, factory or estate they expected to inherit. . . . In my own social- ist circle, the Communist Manifesto was an old guide; but now we read certain passages with renewed atten- tion, underscor ing those which bore out our increasing dislike of money culture and our growing disappoint- ment in the pro-war atti tude of the bourgeois intellec- tuals." (Page 122) "Prof . Hayes s t rengthened our be- lief that the war was the result of ' imperialism and mili- tarism and nationalism, the s t ruggle for markets , col- onies, spheres of influence.' " (The Communist-Socialist line.) Hayes Dismisses Class for Red Protest Meeting Communist Freeman tells (p. 107) how when Profes- sors Dana and Cattrell were expelled f rom Columbia for their Red agitation, to quote : "Dr . Beard protested against the expulsion by resigning f rom the Universi ty. . . . The radical s tudents on the campus called a demon- stration to express sympathy for Dr . Beard. . . . The college authorit ies warned us that any student cutt ing classes to at tend the meeting would be punished. Pro- fessor Carleton Hayes . . . circumvented this prohibi- tion. O n the morning of the demonstrat ion he came early to our class on the Causes and Origins of the Pres- ent War,* then probably the largest in the college with almost two hundred students. In a voice tense with feeling, he said: " 'Gentlemen, we have lost today in this university one of the most intelligent, honest and courageous men who ever lived. The re is nothing I can say to you in my course today as important as Dr. Beard's resignation. T h e class is dismissed.' W e rushed to the library steps. Among the speakers who protested against the expulsion of Professors Dana and Cattrell, approved Dr. Beard's resignation was an anarchist lecturer on philosophy named Will Durant . " H e then tells of the riotous meet ing and the speeches of the radicals, himself included, which followed. Jews Foremost in Communist Party T h e Congressional Committee investigating Commu- nism, wfiich issued in 1931, House Report 2290, stated (page 14): "A large percentage of all the Communis t district organizers are of Jewish origin." "Composit ion of Communist membership of foreign origin in the United States, estimated f rom foreign language press and evi- dence submitted before the committee, on membership s t rength and not on percentage, is as fol lows: Jews, Russians (Slavs)," etc. "The largest daily Communist newspaper is the Morn- ing Freiheit, published in Yiddish, in New York City" (page 20). U. S. Chamber of Commerce Knuckles to Jewry Evidently B'nai B'ri th 's Ant i -Defamation League reached the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, for the first edition of their booklet about Communism was can- celled, and re-issued, a f te r being re-writ ten so as to omit mention of the Jews and of the Communist Jewish Freiheits f rom quotations f rom House Report 2290, leav- ing, as a result, a lie. B'nai B'rith Gives German Jews Away T h e only difference between the Socialist and Com- munist parties is one of leadership. Both a re founded on anti-religious, class-struggle Marxism. The Social Dem- ocratic Pa r t y in Germany was the Socialist Par ty . T h e "American H e b r e w " (June 3, 1938) quotes B'nai B'r i th 's Ant i -Defamat ion League secretary as saying in his speech "unmasking the lie of Jewish Communism," that in Ger- many "most of the Jews were Social Democrats. Yet Hitler has continuously labelled the German Communist as the Jewish Communist ." Meant to fool t he ignorant , this is in reality a dam- aging admission substantiat ing Hit ler 's label, for those who know the Red movement know that the Marxis t Socialist principles of the Social Democra t ic Pa r ty in Germany, and of the Communist Par ty , were identical, both being Marxist . "Most of the Jews were Social Democra ts" was let t ing the cat out of the bag! B'nai B'rith Fiction A growing knowledge about Communism, and conse- quently about the prominence of Jewish participation, drew for th the defense at the 1938 B'nai B'ri th conven- tion that they were for "democracy" and opposed to communism as well as fascism and, to quote : "Sigmund Livingston, chairman of the Ant i -Defamat ion League of B'nai B'ri th, examined carefully the accusations that a disproport ionately large number of Jews are communists , or vice versa. T h e facts and figures which he cites are impressive and will carry conviction to the disinterested observer. There is not, for example, a single Jew among the leaders of Communism in the United States,** ac- cording to Mr. Livingston." (B'nai B'r i th Magazine, July '38 issue, p. 391.) Significantly, r ight above this is the heading "Pres . Monsky Makes Uni ty Plea at No. 1 Conclave," saying, "Le t there not be a division in Israel in times of crisis." And on page 371 of the same issue appears this excerpt f r om the B'nai B'ri th Consti tution wri t ten in 1843: "B'nai B'r i th has taken upon itself the mission of uniting Israel- ites in their own best interests and those of humanity." Is Jewry Communistic? Let us see what propor t ion of Jewry in the U. S. A. is affiliated with some body fur ther ing the Socialist-Com- munist movement, according to Jewish sources. "Jew- ish Life" (April 1938 issue) s ta tes : "Three federated Jewish bodies encompass between them the majority of Jews; the American Jewish Congress, controlled by the Zionists and represent ing the major i ty of Zionists; the Jewish Labor Committee and the Jewish People's Com- mittee, both of which have had national conventions in the past months, at which their respective positions were very clearly stated." The American Jewish Congress (Zionist) W e have seen that Zionist Palestine is 70% Socialist (and besides has a Communist Pa r ty ) , that Socialist- Communis t communes operate a large part of its indus- try. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who heads the American Jewish Congress, and Zionism, like most Zionist leaders, has a long Red record. H e has served on Socialist Pa r ty campaign committees, aided actively the Communis t ' s "Lesson in revolution", the Passaic Textile strike, served on the executive committee of the notorious Red-aiding Civil Liberties Bureau, now the American Civil Liber- ties Union, r ight a rm of the Communist movement , and more recently has been on the executive committee of the National Religion and Labor Foundation, which dis- tr ibutes Communist l i terature and atheist cartoons, etc., etc. His son, also a Zionist executive, is an out-and-out Communis t writer. »»See "The Red Network" for the Communistic records of such Jews as: Carl Brodsky, Joseph Brodsky, Moissaye J .

Charney Vladeck*, Russ ian-born Socialist, of the Communist- aiding American Civil Liberties Union, red Rand School, left wing pro-Soviet Amalgamated Clothing Worke r s (hon. mem.) , manager of the Jewish Daily Forward , So- cialist paper printed in Yiddish, etc., etc. T h e convention held by his g roup in 1934 was hailed by B'nai B'ri th Magazine and will be discussed later. The Jewish People's Committee T h e Jewish People ' s Commit tee is headed by Com- munist W m . Weiner , head of the Communis t Par ty ' s f ra ternal insurance society, Internat ional Worke r s ' O r - der*. I t s convention held in Wash ing ton Nov. 19-20, 1937, is of interest as reported in "Jewish Life" (Jan. 1938). T o quote: "Close to 1000 delegates representing H A L F - A - M I L L I O N American Jews" (emphasis in orig- inal) "participated in the National Conference and the anti-Polish Pogrom march on Wash ing ton under the auspices of the Jewish People 's Committee. . . . Prac- tically every walk of Jewish life was represented. . . . A spokesman for Jewish reaction, Dr. S. Margoshes tried to pooh-pooh the whole conference by saying: 'About a thousand delegates, represent ing most ly Lef t and Com- munist-controlled Jewish organizat ions, assembled in Wash ing ton over the week-end. ' " But, the article goes on to say, "Half a mill ion Jews constitute a significant cross section of American Jewry ." Great praise of the policies of President Roosevelt, the format ion of the Red People 's F ron t and eulogy of the address of Rep. John M. Coffee of Wash ing ton (who was honored by the Communist Par ty ' s "Sunday W o r k e r " ) follow. S. Margoshes, referred to as "react ionary" above, is vice president of Rabbi Wise 's American Jewish Con- gress, and editor of the "Day" . Weiner Soothes Wise However , Communis t W m . Weiner , head of the Jew- ish People's Committee, in another article, apologizes to Rabbi Wise, saying that his purpose is "To speed up the unification .of the Jewish people so that they can take their r ightful place in the a rmy of democracy" (the new name for Communism) , and that "if certain words and expressions occurred in our discussions which offended individuals we are profoundly sorry. Leas t of all are we desirous of conduct ing a personal campaign against Rabbi Stephen Wise who may have been offended by certain of our expressions which occurred in the heat of polemics. ' W e are aware of his courageous stand in support of Spain and China, of his progressive posit ion against reaction in the United States." ( In other words, his radicalism is appreciated.) But he accuses the Amer- ican Jewish Congress of being "anxious not to antag- onize the anti-Semites in the United Sta tes" and so it opposes the Dickste in-O'Toole Resolution to admit Jew- ish refugees to the extent of all unused quotas during the past year — about 125,000 Jews to enter immediately. Weiner ' s Jewish People 's Committee is backing this res- olution. Weiner points out that his appeal in the name of the "hundreds of thousands of American Jews affili- ated with our Commit tee" had bear ing on President Roosevelt 's proclamation concerning the "refugee prob- lem a few days later". (Communis t Midwest Daily Record, June 20, '38.) The Jewish Labor Committee B'nai B'r i th Magazine (April, '34) hailed the confer- ence held by " the very large and impor tan t Jewish Socialist or labor e lement" with regfe t that it was not a par t of the Joint Council fo rmed by B'nai B'ri th, composed of the American Jewish Congress (Rabbi Wise ' s ) , American Jewish Committee, and B'nai B'ri th, but said, "it is comfort ing to know tha t labor is, under whatever circumstances, ready to be of service to the oppressed and harassed in Israel." T o quote fu r the r : "Wi th the leading Jewish Socialist organizations, large t rade unions and other labor bodies represented by over one thousand delegates, this recent conference equalled in size and resembled in character the one that was held at the outbreak of the war.** I t was estimated that the delegates acted and spoke for more than a half a million organized Jewish toilers, and spoke for them in behalf of specific J E W I S H I N T E R E S T S , but f rom a distinctly labor point of view. . . . "To show the world that we have great armies of labor is a very good thing, but to have the same world note that these hosts are largely of a radical f r ame of mind, is something about which we have in the past been somewhat squeamish. . . . T h e radical labor view was, at any rate, fully represented at this gather ing where a lengthy preamble to the main resolutions affirmed a number of principles relating to the rule of labor in the struggle for the maintenance of -full rights of Jews. I summarize one or two of these points. ' I t is clear to us . . . tha t the at tacks upon u s ' " ( J e w s ) . " ' o f the present day are, a f ter all, closely bound up with the general social struggle, which is gradually encircling the entire world as a conflict between capital and labor . . . ' " (Communism-Social ism). " ' I t is no t the inten- t ion of Jewish labor to interfere with the constructive effor ts in Jewish life carried on by other g r o u p s ' " (Racial solidarity). ' " O n the contrary it is our aim, to s t rengthen and enforce every important general step through energetic and planned suppor t . . .' Repre- sented at this conference was also a group "of other labor organizations espousing another view of Jewish life, a philosophy which is a composite of both Socialism and Zionism." Labor Committee Officers, Sponsors Among officers elected to head the Labor Committee for Jewish Affairs formed there, were : B. C. Vladeck*, Pres ident ; I. Baskin; David Dubinsky*f , who was exiled to Siberia for Russian revolutionary activities; Joseph Schlossberg*; Max Zari tsky*; etc. Sponsors of the con- ference included T h e Jewish Socialist Federat ion, t he Workmen ' s Circle* (Socialist Jewish) , the United He - brew Trades! , the Amalgamated Clothing Workers*, etc.; and "The Jewish Socialist Pa r t y Poale Zion, the Jewish National Work ingmen ' s Federation, the Pioneer W o m e n f rom Palest ine and the Young Poale Zion, sent delegates to the conference . . . " Yes, Jewry Admits It Is Radical American Gentiles are as innocent as kittens of the large number of Red organizations that have been funct ioning for years among the Jews, carried on in Yiddish, which Gentiles can neither read nor under- stand. If the three federated Jewish bodies just described (American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee, and Jewish People's Committee) "encompass", as W m . Weiner said, " the major i ty of J ews" in the United States, the extent of Jewish radicalism and the need of B'nai B'r i th 's Ant i -Defamat ion League to prevent awareness of this is apparent . T h e Jews, being so largely radical, with good cause habitually fight ant i -Communism as anti-Semitism. T h e Communis t Par ty ' s Daily Worker , Apr. 27, '38, p. 6, column 4, under the sub-heading, "Stalin's Statement" , says, in an article on Jews in America: Stalin's Statement " 'There the great and universally progressive fea- tures of Jewish culture have made themselves clearly »»See "The Roosevelt Red Record and I t s Background", page 158, f o r the account of the 1915 Convention Representing 500,000 Jewish Radi- cals, as reported in the "Jewish Communal Register" for 1917-1918. Page 12 felt : its internationalism, its responsiveness to the ad- vanced movements of our times (the percentage of Jews in democratic and proletarian movements is everywhere higher than the percentage of Jews in the general popu- lation).' " (Emphas is supplied.) British Paper Denounces B'nai B'rith The Free Press, issued by the Militant Christian Patr iots (93 Chancery Lane, London, W . C 2 ) , heads its article on B'nai B'r i th (July 1938 issue) "An Inter- national Jewish Secret Society". T o quote: "One of the most powerful Jewish societies in the world is the ' Independent Order of B'nai B'ri th ' . B'nai B'ri th means literally (in Hebrew) Sons of the Cove- nant, the Covenant being circumcision. Founded in New York in 1843, the order was not established in England until 1910, but since that t ime it has succeeded in gaining a controll ing influence over all Jewish organi- zations in Great Britain. Among the members today are Cljaim Weizmann (the Zionist leader), Dr. J . H. Her tz ( the Chief Rabbi) , Mr. Neville Laski (President of the Jewish Board of Deputies) , and Mr. Israel Moses Sieff (well known Zionist and communal worker, and chairman of P .E .P . ) " . (P .E .P . is a socialistic scheme that has been likened and peculiarly linked to the New Deal.) Pressure on World Governments "A short history of the B'nai B'r i th in England writ- ten* by Paul Goodman, a Pas t President , for private circulation among members, gives a clear insight into the w a y - i n which pressure is put upon governments throughout the world in Jewish interests . . . " "B'nai B'r i th is Zionist—'In Palestine, the B'nai B'r i th played an unique part before Zionism laid there tKe foundat ions of the Jewish National H o m e ' " , says Goodman, and " In the United States, the order is clearly ' the power behind the President ' ". Alliance Israelite Universel le Goodman writes, (p. IS) " ' In political cooperation with the A L L I A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I V E R S E L L E and other national and international Jewish bodies, the B'nai B'r i th has for many decades been recog- nized as representat ive of American Jewry and as specially enjoying the confidence of -the American Government in the protection of Jewish interests abroad. . . . B'nai B'r i th was instrumental in ulti- mately securing the abrogat ion by the United States of the commercial treaty with Russia owing to its refusal to visa the passports of American Jews visiting that coun t ry . ' " T h e article s tates: " In view of the part played by Jewish organizations abroad in the a rming of Russian Jews to fight against the Russian monarchy this refusal was not surprising." T h e intrigue and pres- sure exerted within the British Government by B'nai B'ri th is pointed out." Schiff Financed Soviet Revolution In connection with the above statement about Jews abroad arming the Russian Jews to fight the Russian monarchy is the revealing account concerning Jacob Schiff in the "Jewish Communal Regis ter" issued by the New York City Kehillah in 1918 ( f rom 3S6 Second Avenue) . O n p. 1018, under the "Who ' s W h o " of Jacob Henry Schiff, is this: "Mr. Schiff has always used his wealth and his influence in the best interests of his people. H e financed the enemies of autocratic Russia" (the Bolsheviks) "and used his financial influence to keep Russia f rom the money market in the United States." I t also relates that he was born in Germany in 1847, came to America in 186S, "where he joined the staff of a banking house. In 1873, he returned to Europe where he made connections wit th some of the chief German banking houses. Upon returning to the United States, he entered the banking firm' of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, New York, of which he later became the head. . . . The firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. floated the large Japanese War Loans of 1904-5, thus making pos- sible the Japanese victory over Russia. . . . W h e n last year Mr. Schiff celebrated his seventieth birthday, all the factions of Jewry in the United States and elsewhere united in paying tribute to him." Schiff's Son-in-Law "A P R I N C E W H O C H O S E T O B E A S E R V A N T O F I S R A E L " is the title of the eulogy of Felix M. W a r b u r g , son-in-law of Jacob Schiff, af ter his death (Nov. '37 issue, B'nai B'r i th Magazine, p. 83). T o quote : "Felix W a r b u r g was always, par excellence, the Jew . . . he married the daughter of Jacob Schiff who in his time was the great figure in Jewish life that later Felix W a r b u r g was to become. Indeed, it may be said that Felix W a r b u r g became the spiritual heir of Jacob Schiff. . . . In the year 1896 he joined the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. and quickly rose to eminence in the field of finance . . . " (so he had a part in the financing of Russian Reds and the Japanese war loans) . " H e might not believe in Zionist ideology but he could go with Zionists to help build a good homeland for Jews ; and he went with them. His heart was as eager as Weizmann 's . H e thought of himself not as a servant of one port ion of Israel but he was of the whole house and wherever Jewry needed to be served he served." Those w h o are mystified at Jewish financiers sup- port ing the Communis t movement may well read that over again. B'nai B'rith and the Alliance Israelite Universelle T h e "Jewish Communal Register" of the New York City Kehillah, just referred to, says (p. 886): "As one of the few great Jewish international organizations, the Order B'nai B'r i th was in a posi t ion to exercise con- siderable influence in favor of Jews the world over. . . . The order has close affiliation with all great Jewish bodies, such as the A L L I A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I - V E R S E L L E , the Jewish Colonization Association, the American Jewish Committee, etc. . . . " Jewish Messianic World Power B'nai B'rith, in an article praising radical Ludwig Lewisohn, reveals that racial solidarity and striving for Messianic world power, instinctively Jewish (May '33 issue, p. 245), when it commends his books as "Messianic therefore characteristically Jewish in their motivat ing force." Again, Mike Gold, Russian Jewish columnist for the Communist Par ty ' s Daily Worker , is referred to (May '32 issue, p. 233) as one in the revolutionary move- ment symbolic of the Jewish literary renaissance and of "the Jew, not solely as a theological entity but as a national, international and esthetic selfhood." T h a t capi- talist O t to Kahn financed Mike Gold (Kahn admitted this in a personal letter seen by the au thor) , fits in with the following analysis. Adolph Cremieux T h e A L L I A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I V E R S E L L E , with which B'nai B'r i th is affiliated, was founded by Adolph Cremieux. "The life of Adolph Cremieux and the activities of his Jewish contemporaries, belonging to widely divergent social spheres, illus- t ra te forcibly the concerted plan of Judaism to reach its secret Messianic hope of world domination," says Lady Queenborough (Edi th Starr Miller) on page 415, volume 2, of "Occult Theocracy" (printed in France) . T o continue: "Whereas in Gentile life, there is an un- bridgeable abyss between Conservatism and Anarchy, Religion and Atheism, there is no such chasm in the Jewish mentality. There, all currents, no mat ter in wha t direction they may seem to flow, are finally united and channelled in one unique direction. . . . Adolph Cremieux Page 13 . . was connected with all part ies and actually helped form the center which united them all, viz., the A L L I - A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I V E R S E L L E , which was, in fact, the central Kahal for Universal Jewry ." Cremieux's Communist Activities T h e r e are a number of pages on his activities, includ- ing the following i tems: " H e had been one of the fore- most speakers-in an association known as the Campagne des Banquets which had done so much to promote the revolution of Feb. 1848. . . . Cremieux had had hopes of being made Chief Executive under Louis Napoleon and thus play in F rance the same role that Disraeli played in England, that is ruling the country f rom behind the scenes. Both Disraeli and Cremieux had the same financial backing, namely the wealth of the Rothschilds and Montefiores, who in London were fr iends of Disraeli and, in Paris , f r iends of Cremieux. Cremieux was there- fore keenly disappointed when General Cavignac was appointed Pr ime Minister in the Republican Government of Louis Napoleon, and as revenge, he directed his activities against the Prince President , his former friend. Cremieux was imprisoned at Yincennes and^ Mazas. After his release, he made himself the champion and defender of the Communist associates of Karl Marx, the revolutionaries Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin, P ier re Leroux and others. . . . F rom 1871 until his death, it can safely be asserted that Cremieux as President of the A L L I - A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I V E R S E L L E . . . exercised a t remendous influence upon the anti-religious campaign which followed the Franco-Pruss ian W a r . In this as in all his lifelong activities, Cremieux was only obeying the teachings of the Ta lmud and trying to destroy every religion but that contained in Judaism. His favorite theme was that there should be only one cult—and that cult should be Jewish." Penetrating All Religions to Level Them "At a general assembly of the A L L I A N C E I S R A E L - I T E U N I V E R S E L L E , on May 31, 1864, Cremieux had said: 'The Alliance is not limited to our cult, it voices its appeal to all cults and wants to penetrate into all the religions as it has penetrated into all countries. Let us endeavor boldly to bring about the union of all cults under one flag of Union and Progress ' (Union and Prog- ress was the name given to several revolutionary asso- ciations)". Note in "The Red Ne twork" the program and backing of the "Fellowship of Fai ths" along the same line of leveling all religions to no religion. The Protocols T o continue the above quota t ion: " O n e cult, one flag! Are the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion or the speeches of Machiav.elli in Joly 's book anyth ing but lengthy expositions of the ideas briefly expressed by Cremieux? His activities are one of the clearest exam- ples of Jewish internationalism and Jewish efforts for the realization of the Jewish ideal . . . the A L L I A N C E I S R A E L I T E U N I V E R S E L L E . . . subsidized by In - ternational Finance, would spell the doom of Christian civilization, the destruction of nationalism, the death of nations upon whose ruin has been erected a new T e m - ple of Solomon, containing the t reasures and material wealth of the whole world, and over which is placed the six pointed star of Zionism. T h e means for the attain- ment of Cremieux's ambition are set for th in a book entitled 'Paris , Capitale des Religions' by Jean Izoulet." B'nai B'rith and the New Deal As the English Jewish past president of B'nai B'ri th, Paul Goodman, wrote : " I n the United States the order is clearly 'the power behind the President ' ". B'nai B'ri th most enthusiastically hails the New Deal (nicknamed the "Jew Deal") , which is also so openly backed by the Communist Par ty . As Ea r l Browder , Secretary of the Communist Party, etc., in his book, "The People's Front ," page 13, says: "Today we are empha- sizing that Roosevelt 's programmat ic ut terances of 1937, when combined with the legislative program of the C.I.O. (his main labor suppor t ) , provides a People's Fron t p rogram of an advanced type, that the organiza- tion of the major i ty of the people for struggle to realize this program is the main road today to the creation of the People's Front . " (Meaning a Communist-controlled government . ) Roosevelt Gets Jewish Medal "For distinguished service to Jewry dur ing 1936, Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt was awarded the Rich- ard J. H . Gottheil medal by Zeta Beta Tau fraterni ty" , says the B'nai B'ri th Magazine June '37 issue (p. 308). Roosevelt sent his son James to deliver in person his message of congratulation to B'nai B'r i th at its conven- tion. A whole article, with large photo, praising Mrs. Roose- velt and her speech as "first speaker in a lecturfe series sponsored by the B'nai B'r i th. Hillel Foundat ion at the Universi ty of Illinois", where she was presented by the national director, Abraham L. Sachar, appears in the Dec. 1937 issue. Other speakers listed for the series included: James W a t e r m a n Wise of the communis t People 's Press ; Anna Louise Strong, editor of Soviet Russia's Moscow Daily News; Julien Bryan, leader of" Soviet Government Intourist tours ; A. L. Sachar, national director of the Hillel Foundat ions and sponsor of the Congress of the communist American League against W a r and Fascism (1937). Mrs. Roosevelt and B'nai B'rith Mrs. Roosevelt received in person Theresa Mayer Durlach*, founder and president of radical Wor ld Peace- ways, and Estelle Sternberger*+, a member of its execu- tive commit tee and editor of the W o m a n ' s Page of B'nai B'r i th Magazine, endorsed their program and urged them to visit her in Washington , according to the April '33 issue (p. 204). Estelle Sternberger later was one of the three executive directors of Roosevelt 's Good Neighbor League. Roosevelt Congratulates Wise W h e n radical "Dr . Stephen S. Wise was honored at a testimonial dinner in New York" says the June '37 issue (p. 308), "among those who sent messages of congratula- tion were President Roosevelt, Dr . Albert Einstein*, Mayor La Guardia*. President Alfred M. Coh<;n of B'nai B'ri th." Roosevelt Congratulates Silver "President Roosevelt was among the notables all over the country who congratulated Rabbi Hillel Silver* upon his 20th anniversary as spiritual leader of the Temple in Cleveland." (June '37 issue, p. 309.) Rabbi Silver* is a national commit teeman of the notori- ous Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union, batt le-ax for all phases of Communism everywhere in the U.S.A., etc., etc. B'nai B'rith Gushes Over "Miss" Perkins Hailing the appointment of Frances Perkins, fo rmer member of the Socialist Par ty , and co-worker with Mrs. Roosevelt in the communis t -Gar land-Fund-suppor ted Na- tional Consumers ' League, etc. (see p. 84 of "The Red Network") , B'nai B'r i th Magazine heads its editorial, "Hope of New Deal for Immi g ran t s " (Jan. '33 issue, p. 195) and says: " W e may look for a juster, kindlier interpretation of immigration laws in the gentle and enlightened new Secretary of Labor, Miss Frances Per - kins. . . . In Miss Perkins is an illuminated social worker. . . . In the past ten years the att i tude has been based on the spirit of a r rogant nationalism. . . ." The re is much more gushing praise of Miss Perkins, who, it is to be noted, insists on following the custom of the Reds Page 14 who regard marr iage ties as "capitalism" or private own- ership and keep their own maiden names regardless of the men they live with. "Miss" Perkins is the mother of Paul Wilson 's daughter. Roosevelt-B'nai B'rith Aims Akin W h e n seven B'nai B'ri th lodges celebrated and sent $600 to Roosevelt 's W a r m Springs Foundation, Governor Horner (whose real name is "Levy") wired "as a brother B'nai B'r i th", saying: " I t seems to me that it is part ic- ularly fitting for B'nai B'ri th to take part in celebrating the birthday and achievement of President Roosevelt. A kinship is to be found between the aims which he ex- emplifies and the purposes for which B'nai B'r i th carries on." (April '34 issue, p. 261.) Mordecai Ezekiel The appointment of Mordecai Ezekiel to the A.A.A. as economic advisor to Henry Wallace* was hailed by B'nai B'rith. Ezekiel "literally borrowed f rom the pres- ent economic plan of the Soviets" and, with radical Tugwell*, they "are to be properly regarded as the brain cells and spark plugs of the New Deal" (Chicago Tribune, 2/28/36). J. David Stern The Feb, '34 issue carries a full cover photo of J . David Stern entitled "The fearless, progressive editor who has bought the New York Post and is continuing its liberal tradition." President Roosevelt 's letter to Stern star t ing "My dear Dave" and congratulat ing Stern on his acqui- sition of t,he Post , is reproduced. T h e article tells how Stern founded and edited "the organ of the Philadelphia. Y.M.H.A.", how his Philadelphia Record was "liberal" and "some even called it radical", and that in it "Stern showed that he was as good a Jew as he was an editor. . . . F ron t page editorials denouncing the Nazi policies revealed Stern 's latent Jewishness. H e was also one of the earliest advocates of the anti-Nazi boycott. H e be- came treasurer of the American League for Defense of Jewish Rights. . ; . T h s Record spokse out fearlessly for unemployment insurance, federal relief of the unem- ployed, and the use of federal credit to create jobs by a v^ist program of public works. In this progressive stand Stern looked about for a leader and his glance turned to Albany, New York, where F . D. Roosevelt was serving his first term as Governor. Long before observers thought that Roosevelt had a chance for the presidency, the Record was urging his nomination by the Democrat ic Par ty . Stern who was a New Dealer before the Roose- velt administration came into power, has been one of the New Deal's most consistent champions." Stern a Red Mouthpiece The claim by the Hudson News that Soviet funds pur- chased the Post has neither been proved nor denied. Sternf received a Federal Reserve Board Bank post f r om Roosevelt. Said the "Hudson News" : "Today, Stern 's papers are the unofficial organs in the 'sneak communist ' field for defense and praise of Soviet Russia." The Communist-aiding American Civil Liberties Union's annual report (1936) said grateful ly regarding two pet Communist propaganda cases: "Our fr iends and member's contributed $3,663 for the Tom Mooney and Scottsboro cases. Of this amount $762 came f rom appeals for the Mooney case in the N. Y. Evening Post and Philadelphia Record through the cooperation of J. David Stern, publisher." "When David Stern, Philadelphia publisher, bought the Post last December, he received a letter f rom his old friend President Roosevelt, which said in par t : 'My dear Dave: I am delighted to hear of your purchase. There is a place for the right kind of newspaper in New York' . And the right kind it turned out to be. In editorial and news columns it has flayed Wal l Street, upbraided radical Mayor La Guardia for not being radical enough and con- centrated on campaigns about police brutality to strikers and picketers." (Chicago Tribune, 8/20/34.) Dickstein Serves—Whom? Of Russian-born Samuel Dickstein, a B'nai B'ri th member , as Chairman of the Immigrat ion and Natura l - ization Committee of Congress, a B'nai B'rith article says: " I t is particularly significant that a Jew should hold this committee chairmanship, for his predecessor was very hostile to all immigration, a subject close to the hearts of many Jews. In his capacity as chairman of this com- mittee Congressman Dickstein has well served his coun- try." ( O r B'nai B'rith Jews?) Steinhardt and Strauss Roosevelt 's appointment of Laurence Steinhardt, a Jew, as Minister to Sweden, and of Jesse Strauss, a Jew, as Ambassador to France, was greeted editorially (June 1933) as a delightful slap at Germany's att i tude toward Jews. Steinhardt (a member of the firm of Gug- genheimer and Untermyer , and a relative of radical Sam- uel Untermyer*f , head of the German boycott move- ment) had, according to B'nai B'r i th Magazine (p. 266) "served many Jewish causes, including the American Federat ion of Zionists, American Zionist Common- wealth, Young Men's Zionist, Young Judea and the Federation Set t lement ." But "American" for Jews to Attack Christianity Typical of B'nai B ' r i th 's at t i tude toward radical Jews is the following concerning three Jews, two of them being Roosevelt appointees: "In Ohio is pending a bill for unemployment insur- ance which was drawn by a commission of which Dr. I. M. Rubinow*t , Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver*, and Pro f . W m . M. Leiserson*t were members . W e do not speak for or against unemployment insurance; but we abhor as un-American a plan of at tack that a t tempts to dis- credit unemployment insurance on the ground that these three Jewish commissioners were born in Russia. . . . Their being born in Russia ( f rom which they emigrated years ago) is a circumstance that is made to appear to unfit them for a public service in the United States." And Morgenthau Controls U. S. Gold! Editorially (Feb. 1934) B'nai B'r i th Magazine rejoiced in the appointment by Roosevelt of H e n r y Morgenthau, Jr. , "who has attained the second highest place in the Cabinet" and (p. 159) says, as Secretary of the Treasury, Morgenthau "is the second Jew to occupy a place in Presidential Cabinets in American history." La Guardia's Jewish Ancestry Below this the details concerning New Dealer Mayor La Guardia's Jewish ancestry are given. His mother who was "born and died a Jewess" being " I rene Coen of the Israelitish religion", his father, Achille, being of "no religion", his sister Gemma Glick, "of Jewish religion, being active in Jewish life in Budapest today." Mrs. H e n r y Morgenthau, Jr. , is honorary president of the Wash ing ton B'nai B'r i th Argo Lodge auxiliary of 600 members . (July, 1938, p. 390.) Jewish Congressmen The large number of Jewish appointees have given the New Deal the nickname "Jew Deal". Concerning elected representatives, however, B'nai B'r i th in an article, " Jews in the New Deal" said, "Privileged to be officially in on President Roosevelt 's sensational 'new deal' are ten Jewish members of the House of Representatives", with the remark that there should be more Jewish members . T h e photos of these ten are fea tured: Emanuel Celler, Samuel Dickstein, William I. Sirovich, Sol Bloom, Isaac Bacharach, Theodore A. Peyser, Florence P. Kahn, Her - Page 15 man Paul Koppleman, Adolph J. Sabath, H e n r y Ellen- bogen. Emanuel Celler: Member of B'nai B'rith, of the Amer- ican Jewish Congress, American Jewish Committee, etc., who introduced a bill for the r ight of asylum for aliens (H . R. 10013), also a bill in behalf of Red revolutionists Ferrero and Sallito (H . R. 8631) sponsored by the com- munist American Committee for Protect ion of Foreign Born of which Celler is a member of the advisory board. (Let terhead, 1/24/38.) H e is featured in the Communist press and was chairman of a committee in behalf of Communis t T o m Mooney (Daily Worker , 5 /6 /38) ; speaker at a rally sponsored by the communis t American League for Peace and Democracy at Brooklyn Jewish Center (Daily Worke r , 5/6/38, p. 5). Samuel Dickstein: Russian born B'nai B'r i th member , listed as a defender of the foreign born in Congress by the communist American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born (3/4j/38). Pr ivate papers seized by his Committee f rom ant i -Communis t H a r r y J u n g were photostatically reproduced prompt ly in the communist New Masses and Daily Worke r . William I. Sirovich: T o quote the New York Tele- gram 10/17/33: "Representat ive Will iam I. Sirovich (D., N. Y.), who just re turned f rom Soviet Russia and repor ted his observations to President Roosevelt, today declared that he expected recognition within a month. He said that the President 's name had been cheered in Leningrad when he mentioned it in a speech." The Chicago Tr ibune 7/14/33 s ta ted: "Representat ive Will iam I. Sirovich (Dem., N. Y.), doctor, playwright , and congressman, and Sam G. Lampor t , textile expert working with fo rmer Senator Smith Brookhar t*f , who is now the depar tment of agriculture 's Russian specialist, are going to Russia on an unofficial visit, looking toward recognition. Already convinced themselves that Russia should be recognized immediately, they said today that they were sure their 'study' would win over the presi- dent." He was listed by the; communis t American Committee for Protect ion of Foreign Born as a defender of the foreign born in Congress. (3/4/38.) H e introduced the Communist and C. I. O.-backed bill to establish per- manent ly a government- supported Bureau of Fine Arts , under the Depar tment of Inter ior (Daily Worke r , 5/27/38, p. 3), and endorsed the Communist Par ty ' s Unemployment and Insurance Bill, H . R. 2827 (Daily Worker , 2/15/35) . H e supported the Communist-backed Schwellenboch-Allen Resolution. Sol Bloom: Accused of capitalizing on the Sesqui- centennial celebration of the U. S. Consti tution; sup- por ter of the Communist-backed Schwellenbach-Allen Resolution (Wash ing ton Post , 8 /18/37) . Adolph J. Sabath: Born in Czechoslovakia; pledged his suppor t of the Communist Par ty ' s Unemployment and Insurance Bill ( H . R. 2827), (Communist Daily Worker , 2/16/35). Herman Paul Koppleman: Born in Odessa, Russia; member of the American Jewish Congress and of the Zionist Organizat ion of America. H e was one of the 60 Congressmen greet ing the Red Spanish Par l iament (Daily Worker , 1/31/38). H e supported the Red-backed Schwellenbach-Allen Resolution; is a committee mem- ber of radical W o r l d Peaceways* of which B'nai B'r i th editor, Estelle Sternberger , is a leader, and was one of the House members to ask aid of Roosevelt for Com- munist Mooney, others being, Caroline O 'Dayf (Mrs . Roosevelt 's close associate), Ernes t Lundeen, Maury Maverick, Communis t Vito Marcantonio, Thomas R. Amlie, etc. (New York Hera ld Tribune, 5/2/35) . Henry Ellenbogenf : Born in Vienna, Austr ia ; sup- ported the Communist-backed Schwellenbach-Allen Resolut ion; "received his first prominence in P i t t sburgh as a lawyer represent ing the communistic American Civil Liberties Union"*f ; was the a t torney representing the communist Internat ional Labor Defense* and com- munist National Miners Union* defending P a t Toohey (now District organizer of the Communist Pa r t y in Pennsylvania and member of the Par ty ' s Central Com- mittee) and John Brophy* (Daily Worker , 12/20/28). W h e n Ellenbogen was elected in 1932 he had been a citizen only six years and five months-, but the House Elections Committee allowed him to be seated holding that he had been a citizen the required seven, years when sworn in. (P i t t sburgh Sun Telegram, 5/2/34.) No te the activities of 7 out of 10 of these Jewish Congressmen. B'nai B'rith for Aliens—Jews W h e n the Michigan alien registrat ion law, backed by patriots, was enjoined or barred, B'nai B'r i th (Feb. issue), editorially called this "an act in behalf of civil l iberty" and commended radical Pat r ick H . O'Brien* for his opposition to this law before his election and, af terwards, his going before the Federal Court at Detroi t with at torney Theo. Levin seeking a permanent injunc- tion against it. Filene "Carried Prophets' Mantle" Editorially, of the radical Jewish capitalist, Edward A. Filene*f, who gave a million dollars to Socialist co-1 operatives to undermine private business, and was hon- ored by the Kremlin itself in Moscow, B'nai B'r i th says (Nov. 1937): "The re are ways of being Jewish. One *Jew serves, lite faith in tfie synagogue , ' ano the r gives his Jewish devotion to Palestine, or he conceives a Judaism that has to do with social service. . " E d w a r d A. Filene carried our prophets' mantle in the world. H e was the type of ideal Jew conceived by those who believe in the prophetic mission of Jews as bearers of a teaching of justice, r ighteousness and peace to man- kind. . . . H e founded the $2,000,000 Twent ie th Century Fundf . . . to chart the way to social ju j t ice ." (To Socialism!) Filene financed the unconsti tut ional N R A , accprding to press reports , until Congress appropriated funds. T h e board of his Twent ie th Century Fund is composed of outs tanding radicals, seven of the eleven having records in "The Red Network" (see page 9, "The Roosevelt Red Record and I ts Background") . Fa ther Coughlin, in Social Justice (7/18/38), says the Protocols of Zion, for which J ewry denies responsibility are "preeminently a Communist ic p rogram to destroy Christian civilization. The best rebuttal which the mod- ern leaders of Zion can offer to the authenticity of the Protocols is to institute a vigorous campaign against Communism. Jews as a whole oppose Nazism and Fascism.
