Long before the vicissitudes of the
recent world-war brought home the
necessity of unifying standards of the
citizenship and Americanism lest UNI
assimilated aliens become an actual
menace, there were forces at work be-
friending, educating and aiding th i.
immigrant and directing efforts to-
ward making that immigrant an as
set to himself and to this country.
Notably amongst these was our own
National Council of Jewish Women.
But alas these instruments were all
too few; they were set into motion
too late and they lacked coordination
and u, centralized impetus. The re-
suits were not sufficiently far-reach-
ing nor the efforts universal enough
to bring about unified consequence.

this lesson it brought us. at the same
time, face to face with the splendid
record of the many foreigu-born mon
who had caught the vision of what
America stood for and who lad en-

1920, the I.ohdon Times was inveigled
into publishing an article expressing
alarm at the revelations Of the Pro-
tocols and calling for an investiga-
ton. The. delight of the German Re
dictionaries knew no bounds. 1t was
voiced by Count Reventlow in long
article in the Deutsche Tageszeitung
of May 18th, 1920, welcoming the
Times acceptance of the Jewish Peril
as an indication that English public
opinion was beginning to recognize the
righteousness OF, Kapp and Co. in their
resistance to the Ebert regime and
what the Count called the pax Jul
daica". Whether the English trans
ators and editors of ''The Jewish
Peril" have consciously lent themselves
to this intrigue which is part of the
German Reactionary plot to upset
the Treaty of Versailles, and perhaps
to plunge Europe into another war
cannot be said. But assuredly the
worst suspicious. are permissible SO

handiwork.
