Lindbereh's Claim Thot Jews Endonger U. S. by
Control Of Mediums MoIding Thought Controdieted

making bodies in foreign affairs
are the President, the State De-
partment, the Army and the
Navy. Jews are almost non-exist-
ent in all these departments.
There are a great many Jewish
executives in Hollywood. Jewish
enterprise, which has never COM
manded really great capital in
this country, was the first to see
a latent big industry in the NOV
ing picture; they were the pio-
neers. But, If I am correctly in
formed, most of the present
ownership is in the hands Of
banks, and there are very few
Jewish banks In America. None
of the big three is Jewish: Chase
National, Guaranty Trust, Ma
tional City.
Radio is owned by tens of thou
sands of stockholders in several
corporations. Does Mr.. Lind
bergh want to 60 over the lists
and appropriate the stock in
Jewish hands? He's got prece-
dents for it in Fascist countries.
Mr.. Sarnoff, a young radio wizard,
was discovered by Owen D. Young
and became president of r. C. A.
N. B. c.. has its own president
and he has never been Jewish.
OF 26 directors and members of
the advisory council two are
Jewish. G. B. s. has a Jewish
president but not Jewish ma
jority on the board. Mutual is a
cooperative system in which one
of the stockholders is the rabidly
isolationist Chicago Tribune.
Public Decides on Radio.
Radio commentators have only
one trouble with the broadcasting
companies: They are not per-
mitted to editorialize, and they
are supposed to avoid contro-
versy. Since the America First
Committee considers even facts
controversial If the facts don't
help the America First Commit
tee, and since the America First
Committee organizes boycotts
and letter. writing campaigns to
sponsors, the lot of the radio COM
mentator is hard. But If the
public does not like the commen-
tator, he goes off the air. Here
again, the public decides. And
the most influential commenta-
tors are not paid by the networks
but by sponsors. Does Mr.. Lind
bergh think no Jewish firms
should be allowed to advertise?
Mr.. Lindbergh's reference to
Jewish influence falls completely
wide of the mark when it comes
to the press. There is an amaz-
ingly small amount of Jewish
ownership of newspapers. The
big news services, Associated
Press, United Press and Inter-
national News Service, are not
Jewish. The largest chains are
Scripps- Howard and Hearst
not Jewish. The New York Times
is Jewish-owned, but has an
overwhelmingly gentle editorial
board. OF the eleven most pow
erful interventionist newspapers
in the country, only one is jew
ish owned.
Policy Would Continue.
The most powerful interven-
zionist weekly press is the Luce
press. Not Jewish. The two
UlOIllIIlN HldS dLillCo "lLIi wv
strongest interventionist editorial
policy are the Ladies Home Jour-
nal and the Atlantic Monthly.
Not Jewish.
In fact, if every American Jew
died tomorrow it would make not
the slightest difference in the
policy of the movies, the radio,
the Government or the press
unless, of course, Mr.. Lindbergh
and his followers could fill what
ever positions were left vacant
from the lists of the America
First Committee.
There are precedents for that,
too, in Fascist countries.
But first he would have to deal
with some Of us who are not
Jews.
