MOST colleges and universities
M throughout the United States
have witnessed, since Hitler got into
power, a rising tide of anti-semit-
ism. Most students and professors,
Jew and Gentle, are amazed, I'M
able to account for this sudden
development. That there had been
a more or less latent anti-semitic
feeling in many universities is
recognized. Harvard'S action some
years ago in limiting the number
of Jewish students was the first
open move on racial basis 1t
was an isolated instance which
brought it the condemnation of the
country.
That Jewish students are dis
eliminated against in admissions is
too well-known to need proof in
this article Many of our leading
universities have limited admissions
without announcing it as openly as
Harvard did. That few Jews rise
to full profeSsorships in the univer-
sites is also well-known.
The evidence of racial discrimi-
nation is so overwhelming that
more than one article could be
written about that alone. At pres
ent I am interested in explaining
the activities behind the sudden rise
Of anti-semitism in our leading uni
versities and colleges. What the
vast majority of students and pro-
fessors do not know is that in our
universities and colleges there is a
secret anti-semitic organization di-
rected by German exchange stu
dents to carry on pro-Hitler prop
uganda and develop the "hate-the-
/ jew creed for the sake of pure
Aryan culture" Working with this
secret organization are Nazi agents
who came here ostensibly to study,
and one hundred per cent Amen-
cans in the patriotic" organizations
which are distributing anti-semitic
propaganda in cooperation with
secret Hitler agents in the United
States.
This secret organization is known
as the Paul Reveres and is headed
by Col. Edwin Marshall Hadley,
with headquarters in Room 1911,
100 South La Sale St., Chicago.
The Paul Reyeres have branches in
almost every university and college
in the country, including the larg-
est like Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Cornell, Northwestern University in
Chicago, and Columbia. This or
ganization, with special espionage
division, has given particular at
tention to the colleges in New York
City which have a great many jew
ish students. In addition to these
various colleges and universities, the
Paul Reveres have recently extend
ed their activities to the high
schools, again especially in New
York City.
THIS student espionage and prop
uganda organization works in
cooperation with Nazi agents who
entered this country as German ex-
change students. The primary OBJ
iect of the Paul Reveres is ostensi-
bly, the development of patriotism.
It's original organizer and secre-
tsry was Mrs. Albert w. billing of
Kenilworth, the author of THE Red
Network" which listed Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Fiorello
LaGuardia as Reds" Mrs. billing,
however. does not seem to feel that
all Jews are Communists or "po-
tential Communists" and when she
learned of Col. Hadley's anti-seniitic
tendencies, she wrote to him in pro-
test. Col. Hadley replied March 6,
1880:
Regarding the Jew angle" pa
triotic movements can be handled
by them in body much better
than in mixed groups, SO please
see to it that the chapter Ia divi-
sion of the Paul Reveres) is kept
strictly a Gentle organization.
This can be handled without pub
lie ty by your membership COM
mittee.
Mrs. billings hatred of Commu-
nists halted at the injection of the
race issue, and she resigned. The
Paul Reveres, though continuing
their drive for members on "patri-
otto" grounds, asked all applicants
whether they were Jews.
Col. Hadley did not dare to come
out too openly with his hatred Of
