Mr.. Henry Ford, Detroit, Mich.
Dear Sir: am q native born Amer
lean, and a Gentle of the Protestant
faith, being q memberof the Method
list Church.
/ am q thorough believer in the
Christian religion as laid down in the
sermons Of Jesus Christ, and which
are exemplified in the ritual Of the
Order of Knights Templar, Of VIII ch /
am q member.
Christianity, as / understand it, con-
sists Of love Of God and fellow man.
So far a. I have been able to discover,
there is nothing in the Christian re-
ligion that warrants US in hating men
of other creeds. On the other hand
the whole fabric Of Christianity rests
upon love, and I am at a loss to un-
derstand your motive for cruelty and
unjustly attacking the jews in the
columns Of your publication, The
Dearbon Independent.
No man In America could be more
violently opposed to anarchy, boil
shevism, socialism and sovietism than
myself, and no man would do more to
prevent those poisonous doctrines Sc
curing foothold in the United States.
l cannot agree with you, however,
that these bliGhting policies are to be
found principally in the ranks Of the
Hebrew race. The fact is, fewer Jews
In America at least, subscribe to these
teachings than any other nationality.
l am in q position to speak authorize
lively on this subject, as / was en-
ployed q an inspector in the property
protection and secret service and po-
lice sections Of the United State Rail-
road Administration from June 8,
1918, to- March 1, this year, during
which time / visited practically all
the cities Of this country for the pur-
pose Of investigating labor and other
conditions. can say IN al truth that

trying to build up business to engage

there are Jews whose minds are
distorted by ''red" teachings, but the
number, as my investigations dis
closed, is exceedingly small as com

American extraction.

You charge the Jews with being
slackers during the recent World War.
In making this charge, you utter q
cruel slanderous and wilful lie. In
this great capital Of the greatest ma
ton under Gods sun, young Jews left
their business and answered the call
to the eolors, and the records Of the
War Department win disclose that
numbers Of them died on the bloody
battlefields Of Europe that the cause
Of human freedom might survive.
