JEWS AGAIN PLAY
 fORD'S NEWSPAPER
Resent Charges They Control World Finance

New York, Dec. 13 E-American Jews were in arms today against new charges in Henry Ford's news . paper. the Dearborn Independent, E that the International Jew" con- trols finance, the Press, and reac- tionary and revolutionary elements of the world.
 Samuel Untermyer, New York lawyer, characterfzes the Ford charges as rubbish" and like the rawlings of a madman." He chal- 1anges Ford to enter the jurisdic- tion of the federal court of this dis : trict and submit to service in libel suit based upon previous similar , charges.
 The debated statements are in 7 the December 25 issue of the Dear. born Independent, and reiterate and enlarge upon previous statements in D the course of declining challenge " of Nathan straus, philanthropist. : that Ford select eight out of 8 committee of ten leading publicists and clergymen of New York to |, weigh his allegations against the Jews.
 The Ford article says that such a 3ury might not know if a Jewish question exists land would not dare : to say so if 1t did," It declares that : the International Jew" controls the financial centers of government, in- cluding the federal reserve system, : owns or controls the Press, Is chiefly responsible for making war, and is its chief profiteer.
 : Mir. Untermyer denies that Jews control the financial centers, and says that the federal reserve system, - of which Benjamin Strong is gov ernor, ''has 95 per cent of It's man. agers and directors non-Jews and has no connection with the jews of the country"
 Other Denials
 "The Jews do not own or control the two per cent of the press. How any man, no matter how Ignorant, bigoted, or brazen, could have the tcmerity to assert that only pro- Jewish facts are admitted to print is beyond understanding, except on the theory that he is just crazy. The Jew has as much to do with making war as the Hottentot and he has not been a war profteer unless Henry Ford and his like are Jews, which, fortunately for us, they are not"
 Louis Marshall, MT. Untermyer's former partner, who will be 70 to- morrow, said in a pre-birthday inter- view which had no connection with the Ford charges: "f don't think we are as tolerant as we used to be. I can't explain it-perhaps it is war psychology, something in the air of the times-such phases appear in every period of history"
 Mir. Marshall asserted that the constitution had become a platitude lawyers talk. when 1t should be a holy of holies." He said immigra- ton is now too greatly restricted because -ofethe growth of the Nor1ic Idea of supremacy-"a myth"
 Rabbi Stephen S. Wise declares the Ford charges are old defama- tions of the Jews which were prov ed forgeries by some of the fore most scholars and religious leaders of the nation.
 Daniel Frohman, theatrical pro- ducer does not care what Ford says about the Jewish influence in the theater or elsewhere, "a good Cath ollie, good Jew, or good Metho- dist is entitled to his opinions" says MT. Frohman. land if Mir. Ford in cludes himself in any Of these cate gories. his opinion is his."
 The Manson News Agency, in Rochester, N. Y, which distributes newspapers and periodicals in vest ern New York, has announced through It's president that 1t will re- fuse to distribute Ford's paper here after. Mir Manson, who Is secretary of the National Association of Nigga zine Distribute also. terms the article "prejudiced and unjustihed."
