cotton and sugar, are in the control of Jewish financiers or their agents.

Jewish journalists are a large and powerful group here. Large number of

department stores are held by Jewish firms, and many of them, if not

most are run under Gentile names.

Jews are the largest and most numerous landlords of residential

property in the whole country. They are supreme in the entertainment

world. They absolutely control the circulation of publication~ throughout

the country. More powerful than any race among us, they receive a daily

amount of favorable publicity which would be impossible did they not

have the facilities for creating and distributing it themselves.

Werner Sombart, a pro-Jewish writer, in his "Jews and Modern

Capitalism," says~

"If the conditions in America continue to develop along the same

lines as in the last generation, if the-immigration statistics and the

same proportion of births among all the nationalities remain the

same, our imagination may picture the United States of 50 or 100

years hence as a land inhabited only by Slavs, Negroes and Jews,

wherein the Jew will naturally occupy the position of economic

leadership."

The Jew is the orily original international capitalist, but as a·rule he

prefers not to emblazon that fact upon the skies; the arresting fact about

the Jew is his world wide unchallenged power coupled with comparative

numerical inferiority.

JEWS AND THE BOOTLEGGING EVIL

T he claim made for the Jews that they are a sober race may be true,

but that has not obscured two facts concerning them: namely, that

they usually constitute the liquor dealers of countries where they live in

numbers, and that in the United States they were the only race exempted

from the operations of the Prohibition Law. In general, the Jews are on

the side of liquor ·and always have been. They are the steadiest drinkers

of all.

That is why they were able to secure exemption from the Prohibition

Laws; their religious ceremonies require them to drink an amountwhich

the law considered equal to 10 gallons a year. So the Prohibition Law of

the United States-which was a part of the Constitution of the United

State-was rna&~ legally ineffective to the extent of 10 gallons a year to

a Jew. Racial privilege? No, the Jews did not raise that scare then, during

profitable Prohibition era. They knew it was easy to get 100 gallons

through a I0 gallon loophole. In fact, millions of gallons of bootleg

liquor came through that 10 gallon loophole.

It came as a surprise to the American people that the liquor business

of the world had been in the hands of the Jews. In United States the

liquor business was almost exclusively in the hands of Jews for 25 years

prior to Prohibition; during the period, in fact, when the liquor trade was

giving point and confirmation to the more extreme Prohibition arguments!

In the volume "The Conquering Jew," published by Funk &

Wagnalls Company in 1916, John Foster Fraser writes:

"The Jews are masters of the whisky trade in the United States.

Eighty per cent of the members of the National Liquor Dealers'

Association are Jews. It has been shown that sixty per cent of the

business of distilling and wholesale trade in whisky is in the hands

of Jews. As middle men they control the wine product of California.

Jews visit the tobacco-growing States and buy up nearly all the leaf

tobacco, so that the great tobacco companies have to buy the raw

product from them. The Jews have a grip on the cigar trade."

It was also true of Europe, especially in Russia, Rumania and

Poland . The Jewish Encyclopedia states that:

"The establishment of the government liquor monopoly (in Russia

in 1896) deprived thousands of Jewish families of a livelihood."

They controlled the liquor traffic, the vodka business which undermined

Russia. In Rumania the whole "Jewish Question" was the liquor question.

In Poland the same was true. In the United States whisky also became

Jewish in the 19th century.
