ish organizations be represented, and
therefore urges that the various organiza-
lions appoint or elect their representa-
tives, and send in their names to the un
dersigned before January 18th, that
they may be notified in due time of the
time and place of the first meeting to
be held on January 10Th.
The following excerpt from an editorial
in The Jewish Advocate Of Boston, plain
ly states the need for concerted action:
''The Jews, however, need not merely
spokesman, they need to present to the
Powers constructive policy far more
definite than equal rights, which under
certain circumstances might be mean
ingless phrase. No man and
no group Of men in America or elsewhere
have the power to accomplish this for the
Jewish people. Only the conscious con-
certed action Of all the Jews in this
country minority of the race can pro-
vide the man power needed in this crisis. -
Will you respond and cooperate?
Sincerely,

SOME ROTHSCHILD MYTHS.

Continued from Page 339
hours in advance of Wellington's
own messenger; but the news was
Immediately sent by Rothschild to
Lord Castlereagh, the foreign minis
ter Of the time, and the immense
anxiety of England was at once re-
lieved on the night of the 18th.
Quite apart from these facts, Ma
than Rothschild was, at this time,
not a speculator on the stock ex-
change at all, but a bullion broker
whose concern with the success or
otherwise of Wellington, was with
regard to the need of cash payments
by the troops, according to the
Dukes well-known practice. Roths-
child was sending him a million
pounds each month before Water
loo -.
It was during the period Of 1916
Is that the Rothschilds began their
loan operations, chiefly by "bearing'
the loans issued by Ouvrard and
Barring, for the French and English
governments, who were thus ulti-
mately forced to admit the Roths-
childs into the favored ring which,
in those days, had the monopoly Of
issuing loans. But all this was long
subsequent to the Battle Of Water
loo, at which time the Rothschilds
were still mainly bullion brokers.
Thus, in all three instances, the
facts of the case are against the
mythical accounts of the origin Of
the great wealth of the Rothschilds,
but are much more interesting as
showing the real basis on which
their progress was founded. 1t is
characteristic that, in each instance,
the hero of the tale is not Mayer
Amschel but Nathan Rothschild,
the grandfather of the late Lord
Rothschild, for whom he was
named.
