.It is not the point to insist that in any list of rich men there are often more Gentiles than Jews; we are not talking about merely rich men who have, many of them, gained their riches by serving a System, we are talking about those who control- and it is perfectly apparent that merely to be rich is not to control.The world-controlling Jew has riches, but he also has something much more powerful than that.The International Jew rules not because he is rich, but because in a most marked degree he possesses the commercial and masterful genius of his race, and avails himself of a racial loyalty and solidarity the like of which exists in no other human group.He rules, at the top of affairs in every country worth while, by virtue of certain qualities which are inherent in the Jewish nature.Every Jew has these qualities even if not in the supreme sense, just as every Englishman has Shakespeare's tongue but not in Shakespeare's degree.And thus it is impracticable, if not impossible, to consider the International Jew without laying the foundations broadly upon Jewish character and psychology.We may discount at once the too common accusation that this greater form of Jewish success is builtupon dishonesty.It is impossible to indict the whole Jewish people or any other on a wholesale charge.No one knows better than the Jew how widespread is the belief that Jewish methods of business are all unscrupulous.There is no doubt a possibility of a great deal of unscrupulousness existing without actual legal dishonesty, but it is altogether possible that the reputation the Jewish people have long borne in this respect may have had other sources than actual and persistent dishonesty.To indicate one of these possible sources: The Jew at trade is naturally quicker than mostother men.It is said that there are other races which are as nimble at a trade as is the Jew, but the Jew does not live much among them.Now, it is human nature for the man with slower, easy-going traditions to believe that the quicker man is too deft by far, and to become suspicious of his deftness.The slower mind is likely to conceive that the man who sees so many legitimate twists and turns to a trade, may also see and use a convenient number of illegitimate twists and turns.The Jews, as the records show for centuries, were a keen people in trade.The nimble eagerness of the Jew for trade bustled into the midst of trade traditions, he broke them all wherever he went.He went after trade, the old leisurely tradition was to make trade come to the trader.Everyone suspects the "sharp" fellow even though his sharpness may be entirely honest.A man who would break trade traditions would stop at nothing ! The Jew was anxious to sell.If he could not sell one article to a customer, hehad another on hand to offer him.The old tradition was that it was strictly unethical and unbusiness-like to handle more than one line of goods, or to deal in more than one "trade"; that it was contemptible and underhand to go out and get a brother tradesman's customers away from him.It is as easy as child's play to connect this energy with dishonesty.The Jew went after trade, pursued it, persuaded it.He was the originator of "quick turnover and quick profit." He originated the installment plan.The Jew's shops became bazaars, forerunners of our modern department stores,and the old custom of one shop for one line of goods was broken up.the Jew was not playing the game, the staid old-fashioned merchant thought.As a matter of fact he was playing the game, the game to get it all into his own hands-which he has practically done.The Jew has shown that same ability ever since his entry into trade in the various countries he hasestablished himself down the centuries.His power of analyzing the money currents amounts to an instinct.His establishment in one country represented another base from which the members of his race could operate.Whether by the natural outworkings of innate gifts or the deliberate plan of race unity and loyalty, all the Jewish trading communities and relations, and as these trading communities increased in wealth, prestige and power, as they formed relations with governments and great interest in the countries where they operated, they simply put more power into the central community wherever it might be located, now in Spain, now in Holland, now in England.Whether by intention or not, they became more closely allied than the branches of one business could be, because of the cement of racial unity; the bond of racial brotherhood cannot in the very nature of things exist among the s Gentiles as it exists among the Jews.Gentiles never think of themselves as Gentiles, and never feel that they owe anything to another Gentile gas such; wherein lies their vulnerability [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
