gress there was debate over a
title and it was proposed by sew
eral members that he be ad-
dressed as his excellency" and
by others as ''his highness," but
a committee reported that 1t is
not proper to annex any style or
letter other than that expressed
in the Constitution.

so. The risk of his thanking bust
ness was enormous. The losses he
often suffered were exceedingly high.
The regular taxes he had to pay for
the privilege of being despised as
lender were oppressive. The irregr-
lar taxes which came in the form Of
cxtortions often left him penniless,
and when, in some instances, as in
the case Of Aaron Of Lincoln and
Aaron of York, Jahudan Cavaleria,
Bcneveniste da Porta, Es1nel de Alb

through extreme thrift, industry and
caution, able to gather up wealth, it
fell to the crown either during his

therefore, at best, but enriching the

himself But the "hip-hurral" of
Jewish wealth continued none the
less to this day, albeit the Jewish
people furnish but a small number
of the worlds rich. One example
might suffice to prove this assertion.
1t is commonly estimated, for in
stance, that there are about four
thousand real millionaires in this
country. OF this number, no more
than twenty-five are Jews. Taking
the general population Of the United
States to be eighty million, and the
Jewish population three million, the
proportion Of millionaires to the
population is as follows: Nom Jew
isl millionaires, one in twenty thou
sand; Jewish millionaires, one in one
hundred and twenty thousand. In
other words, the proportionate num-
Der of non Jewish millionaires in this
country is six times as large as that
of Jewish millionaires, while the pos
tive number Of non ewish rich is
nc hundred and sixty times as large
as that Of the wealthy Jews.
These figures, which gather from
most trustworthy statistics, will, no
doubt, surprise some of my readers,
for it is the general impression that
we have any number of Jewish mil
lionaires in America. But may
confidently state that the reason for
this impression lies in the fact that
the rich Jew is more liberal and more

THE MYTH OF JEWISH MILLIONS
By DR.. Mendel SLIDER, Editor Jewish Ledger


The placing of a loan Of fifty mil
lion dollars for the Russian govern
ment by American bankers last week
should go far towards correcting the
utterly baseless misconcepticn that
Our people control the worlds
money market. The Russian loan
could certainly not have been effect
ed if the Jews of this country, or any
other country, were in position to
prevent it, and it is quite possible
that there are many non Jewish
bankers who care for humanity and
justice more than they do for dollars
and cents and who would not par
ticipate in such loan. The placing
Of the Russian loan shows conclus-
lively, therefore, what little power
and influence Jewish bankers, even
in conjunction with non Jewish
sympathizers exercise upon the
money market
As a matter of fact the fabulous
wealth of the Jews is merely myth.
The proverb, erich as a Jew" is the
result of imperfect observation and
gross eSaggeration. By far more
Just would it be to say, poor as a
Jew" The bulk of Our people is de-
cidedly poor. The vast majority Of
the Jews consist of laborers, artisans
and such as live from hand to
MOUTH TO deny this would be
shutting our eyes to facts.
The traditional conception of
Jewish riches had it's first foundation
in the desire of medieval people to
Cypress and exploit the Jew. The
notion Of his riches was then invent
ed SO that he might be easily feeced
For this purpose he was often actu-
ally allowed to amass a fortune
only to be deprived of it again by
ruler or rabble. The owning of es-
tates. agriculture and other occupa-
tons were interdicted by law The
only thing that was left to him was
to make money itself yield a profit.
He thus became a money-1ender and
monev-changer. But, while in the
eyes of the world he stood ont as
"usurer." which implied that he was
getting immensely rich by making
others poor, in reality this was not

public-spirited, at times, too, more
ostcntatlCus, SO that we know of
every Jew who possesses the least
amount Of wealth, while we know
nothing Of the thousands Of the i'm
mensely wealthy among our non
Jewish neighbors.
Individual Jews, to be sure, have
contributed enormously to the means
and methods Of the worlds banking
and financiering. The maranos in
Spain and Portugal, the factors" Of
the Polish nobility, as we'll as the
German court Jews" financed the
affairs Of state in most conscien-
tious, careful and skillful manner.
The result was that some of them,
Mendes of Antwerp, Suasso, de Gras,
Solomon Medina, Joseph Cortisos,
Jacob Worms, de Mattos, the Aben-
sures, Michael of Berlin, Wertheim-
err Treuenberg, the Pintos, De1mon-
ties Masquita, Mels, da Costa, Lopez
and d'Aguilar, gained such high
reputation for their ability and re-
liability that they were all-over en-
trusted with the management and
profitable placing of large sums
Of money.
In the beginning of the nineteenth
century, the anti-Napoleonic league
was established in Frankfort-on-the
Main, and it's financial operations
were left in the hands of Meyer AM
schel Rothscfild, the founder of the
firm that later on became the liking
of creditors and creditor of kings
A few years later, after the conclu-
sion Of peace, in 1915, the Jewish
genius stuck out in new path, in
Producing into the banking business
the system Of international exchange.
Such system having become pos
sible, then, through the political con-
ditions Of Europe, the Jew was pre-
eminently able to introduce and
operate it. His international posi-
ton and his many connections in
every land enabled him to assist in
the industrial operations of one
country by loans obtained in other
countries. And in this the Roths-
childs took the lead and were fol-
lowed by others, like the Pereires,
Storms, l1irsches, BischOffsheins,
Seligmans, Kronenbergs, Speyers,
Lizards, Goldsnds, Cassel, Strauss
