leader of Zionism, until the great Jewish shift to Versailles. Another

member of the Inner Actions Committe–e was Jacobson, who was in

Constantinople.

"When he saw that Constantinople could no longer be a center of

Zionist politics, he left and went to Copenhagen, Denmark, where

in a .neuu·al country he could be of practical usefulness to the

Zionists by transmitting information and funds." ("Guide to

Zionism," page 80)

In fact, the entire Inner Actions Committee, with headquarters in

Berlin, moved freely through a war-locked world, the only two

exceptions being Warburg and Hantke -and-there was no need for the

Berlin Warburg to move about for there were others who represented

him.

Dr. Levin gave his sanction for the shifting of the center of .Jewish

gravity from Berlin to America, and

"As early as August 30, 1914, a month after the outbreak of war,

an extraordinary conference of American Zionists was called in New

York."

What this change of seat meant, has formed the subject of much

discussion. In 1913 the Jews apparently knew more about the probable

duration of the Great War than did the principals. It was not to be a mere

excursion through Belgium, as some fancied. There was time to dicker,

time to show the value of certain Jewish support to the governments.

Germany gladly pledged the land of Palestine to the Jews, but the Jews

had already seen what Wilhelm II had done in that ancient country when

he enthroned himself on the Mount of Olives. Evidently the Allies won

in tl1e contest of making promises and submissions to Jewry, for on ·

November 2, 1917, when General Allenby was pushing up through

Palestine with his British Army, Arthur James Balfour, the British

Foreign Secretary, issued the famous declaration approving Palestine as

a national home for the Jewish people.

"The wording of it came from the British Foreign Office, but the

to :

The International jew

text had been revised in the Zionist offices in America as well as in

England. The British Declaration was made in the form in which

the Zionists desired it and the last clauses were added in order to

appease a certain section of timid anti-Zionist opinion." ( "Guide to

Zionis~." pp. 85-86). ·

Now read the Declaration and note the italicized clauses just referred

"His Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment in

Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their

best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being

clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice

the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish communitiei in Palestine,

or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other

country."

Zionism is of particular interest, not merely because of the quarrels

which have arisen among the leaders over money -it is the war of

"interest" against "capital" - but atso because of the light it throws on

two great armies of Jews in the world, the way in which they use their

power where they can, an~ the trouble that always embroils the nations

which become Jewish tools.

.People sometimes ask why Jewry, which is capitalistic, should favor

Bolshevism, which is .the announced enemy of capital.

It is an interestin~ question.

Why should a New York Jewish financier, an officer of the

government of the United States, help finance a "Red" publication which

even our tolerant government cannot stomach? In addition to the fact that

it Is only "Gentile capital," that is attacked, the answer is that the Jew

who has fallen for the worship of the Golden Calf is anxious to keep in

the good graces of the Jew of the East - the Mongolian Jews - who are

rampaging against orderly systems of society. It is quite useful when

there is a revolution in Paris to have the 600 houses which you may own

spared by the incendiary mobs- as were Rothschild's houses. Zionism

has been one of the subjects upon which Western and Eastern Jews can

unite.

Indeed, it was the Eastern Jew that compelled the Western Jew to

take a favorable stand on this matter. The Jews are receiving the freedom

of our cities today in their various aspects as "German" and "British"

scientists are Eastern Jews. They have come to a contest with the Jews

of America on the question of Money. The Jews of America have

smothered some very ugly charges. The Jews of the East, more recently

of Germany or England, are not likely to be browbeaten by the money-

bags of Jewish New York, for the Eastern type of Jew knows of a

situation in which money is the most useless thing in the world-and that

is why he is feare-d and favored by Western Jewry of the Golden Calf.

Cunning Jewish defenders occasionally capitalize the "split" in

Jewry. There is no such t!ling. The real split in Jewry will come if and

when Jews of vision begin to support the attempts which have been made

to liberate the Jews from their leaders. This internal squabble means

nothing but the squabble of leaders; but when the Jews themselves divide,

one side for twentieth Century light and the destruction of the power of

selfish leaders, then we may begin to hope. When the Jew recognizes the

honesty of his critics and the righteousness of what they charge, when the

Jew advances in civilization then there may be a "split" but not before.

The division in Jewry as evidenced by the contempt of the reyolutionary

party for the fmancial party, and as even more strongly evidenced by the

fear of the revolutionary party by the financial party was brought about

by the earlier insincerity of the Western Jew's Zionism. The Western

Jew said that the United States is the Promised Land, profits and interest

are the "milk and honey" and New York is Jerusalem; the Eastern Jew

had another view.

A knowledge of Political Zionism is essential also as an authoritative

illustration of what the Jew does when he is in power. Heretofore there

has been Russia to illustrate this, but now there is Palestine. With every .

fact against them, with every traveler and observer giving them the lie

direct, there are still Jewish spokesmen and poor befuddled "Gentile

fronts," as well as corrupt Gentile politicians and writers, who insist that

Communism is not Jewish and that Russia is not governed by Jews. It is

just this constant denial of facts, this failure to use their opportunity to be

honest, that is going to be the judgment of Jewish leaders. Communism
