The Rich Jews Indict a State! The Whole South Traduced. In the Matter of Leo Frank.
by Thomas E. Watson, Watsons Magazine, Volume 21 Number 6, October 1915
Abnormal conditions prevail in this country, and the situation grows more complicated, year by year. We have carried the asylum idea to such extravagant liberality, that the sewage of the whole world is pouring upon us. The human race was never known to do, before, what it is doing now, to America. History presents no parallel case. From the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and from Cape Hatteras to the Golden Gate, we see the same ominous, portentous phenomena, of peoples distinct from our peopledistinct in language, in manners, in standards, in customs, in National observances.
Huge sections of our over-grown cities are as foreign to us, as any territory that lies beyond seas. Our laws are powerless in these unassimilated settlements. Little Italy, in New York, is, to all practical intents and purposes, a section of Naples transported to our shores.
Chinatowns in America are miniature Cantons. The industrial colonies of West Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, are just that many small Hungarys, Polands, Germanys and Italys. As for the Jews, they have found our asylum a paradise; and from the uttermost ends of the earth, they are rushing through our ports. The Zionist Societies, financed by the Hirsch endowment of $45,000,000, are planning to bring 3,000,000 European Jews here, at the close of the present war.
So wide open have been the doors of our asylum that the native stock which made the Republic, is already in the minority. Its relative strength grows less with every shipload of immigrants.
Under these torrents of foreign peoples, whole States have lost their original character.
Massachusetts is not what she was before the Civil War, nor is Colorado.
Puritan New England has been submerged. The hordes from abroad are in possession; they fill the shops, the quarries, the factories, the mills, and the offices.
An Ambassador of a foreign nation coolly proposes to his government to tie up the munitions plants of this country, and leave us without means of self-defense!
How? By bribing the subjects of Austria-Hungary to quit work.
An Ambassador of a foreign Nation coolly informs Germans in this country, that they will be punished for treason under German law, if they accept employment from manufacturers who are selling arms to Germanys foes.
It is an open secret that our Government hasnt on hand enough ammunition to supply an army four months, and the Ambassadors of Germany and Austria have demonstrated their ability to lock our wheels, so completely, that we couldnt get, for ourselves from our own plants, the wherewith to defend ourselves from German attack!
If such recent events do not startle our Statesmen into new views of the immigration question, our future will be tragic, indeed.
Where so many elements enter into National life, unusual combinations take place. Strange conditions make strange bedfellows. We have seen the Irish-American Catholics unite with the German-American Protestants against the English.
We have seen the Irish-American Catholic embrace the opulent Jew, against the Protestant.
The Tageblatt (Jewish Daily News) of Chicago, is published in the Yiddish language. Its editor wrote to the Pope, sending the letter through the Papal ambassador at Washington. Bonzano transmitted the communication to his government, the Italian Papal establishment, and in due course, the Secretary of State for Bonzanos government sent the Popes reply to the Jews, through the Papal Ambassador!
Thus an American citizen, a Jew, placed himself in the position of a government dealing independently with a foreign potentate.
The transaction is so unprecedented that I present the correspondence, as it appears in the Tageblatt of August 25th, 1915:
The Jewish Daily News is in receipt of a striking communication from Pope Benedict XV, in reply to a request made by us for an expression of opinion on the Jewish question.
The Jewish Daily News Letter to the Pope
June twenty-third, Nineteen Fifteen. His Holiness, the Pope, Benedict XV. The Vatican, Rome, Italy.
Your Holiness:
The denial of justice, aye the deprivation of the very elementary rights inalienable to the welfare of all human beings, has characterized the attitude of the world towards the Jews since the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus. Your heart has been stirred to its very depths by the outrages and excesses committed upon Jewish men, women and children, and we are most sincerely grateful for this expression of horror on the part of your holiness.
Encouraged by the sympathy of the Head of the Church of Christ, we humbly appeal to you to arouse Christendom to a realization of the sufferings of millions of human beingsthe Jewsso that they may be accordedwherever they now lack thesefull equal rights and treatment.
Such a call, coming from Your Holiness, will be heeded throughout the world and will meet with the recognition desired.
The Jewish Daily News, the oldest and leading Jewish paper in America, speaking in behalf of the three million Jews in the United States of America, and voicing not only their innermost sentiments, but the views of the Jews the world over, prays that Your Holiness may send through its columns the message that will awaken the conscience of mankind.
Most respectfully and humbly yours,
(signed) S. MASON, Managing Editor.
This letter was sent to Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano, the Apostolic Delegate at Washington, with the request that it be forwarded to the Vatican.
Monsignor Bonzano has now received a reply, which he has transmitted to us.
Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano,
Delegate Apostolico,
Washington,
TRANSLATION.
The Vatican,
22, July, 1915.
Sir:I hasten to present to the Holy Father the letter transmitted to me by you No. 18051 D, of the 25th of June, in which Mr. S. Mason, Editor of the New York Jewish Daily News, asked the aid of His Holiness in favor of the Jews who are persecuted and still deprived, in some nations, of full civil rights.
The August Pontiff has graciously taken note of this document and has desired me to request you to write to Mr. Mason that the Holy See, as it has always in the past acted according to the dictates of justice in favor of the Jews, intends now also to follow the same path on every propitious occasion that may present itself.
Yours, etc., etc.,
P. CARD. GASPARRI.
Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano,
Apostolical Delegate,
Washington.
What view will Congress and the President and Secretary Lansing take of the flagrant breach of propriety? What would be thought of a German Societythe Central Verein, for exampleif it should open a correspondence through Ambassador Bernsdorff, directly with the German Emperor? What better cloak for a system of espionage and secret treason could be devised, than private correspondence carried on by Austrian and German and Jewish spies, through the Papal Ambassador?
As everybody knows, the President himself would not have written to the Pope, except through Secretary Lansing. But the Jewish organization, which publishes its purpose to carve out a Jewish State in this Union, and its intention to submit certain propositions to our Government, has already anticipated its independent existence, by ignoring our diplomatic representatives. It goes over their heads, and deals directly with the Pope, through the Papal Ambassador, just as though the Jewish organization at Chicago were an independent State!
These Jews might be pardoned, for their outrageous breach of loyalty and decorum, on the ground that they do not know any betterbut what about Bonzano, the Papal secretary, and the Pope?
They knew better; and they knew they were insulting the Government and people of the United States, when they set the precedent of dealing directly with citizens of this Republic. NO SUCH THING WAS EVER DONE BEFORE!
These insolent Jews take it upon themselves to acknowledge the Italian Pope as the true and only Head of the Church of Christ.
All Protestant churches are mentally obliterated. There are no Christians save the Romanists. Waldensians, Greek Catholics, and Armeniansall more ancient than Romanistsare left with the heathen. Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Adventists, etc., are mere trashephemeral and negligiblein the eyes of the leaders of the three million Jews. The Pope is the earthly embodiment of Christ, the Head of the Church, the one potentate empowered to arouse Christendom in behalf of the poor, down-trodden Rothschilds, Belmonts, Guggenheims, Warburgs, Strauses, Ochses, Pulitzers, Abells, Schiffs, Kuhns, Loebs, Montags, Seligs, Dannenbergs, Waxelbaums, and Haases.
With a fine display of scorn for our President and Secretary of State the Three Million Jews slap the face of Diplomatic Etiquette; and with a noble exhibition of contempt for non-Catholic churches, they spit upon the creed of Christianity.
Two years ago, I thought that there were evidences of a league between American priests and the rich Jews of our large cities, and our readers may remember my comments.
There is no longer any doubt that the Roman priests and the opulent Jews are allies.
The Holy See, as it has always in the past acted according to the dictates of justice, IN FAVOR OF THE JEWS, intends now to follow the same path.
What marvelous liars these priests are! How boldly they presume upon short memories, selfish opportunism, and ignorance of history! They can rely upon the Catholic to believe everything they say, for they know that the Catholic will not read after a heretic. They are not much afraid of the heretic, for they know that his readers are indifferent, his churches decadent, his daily papers choked with gold, and his political leaders afraid of the Catholic vote.
Therefore James Church, the Pope, never bats an eye, when he tells the Jews that he means to follow in that path of justice to the Jews, which his predecessors have always trod.
Well be learning next, that Nero was a great friend to the Christians, that the Duke of Alva protected the Dutch, that Claverhouse cherished an ardent affection for Scotch Presbyterians, that Catherine de Medici flung her queenly mantle over the Huguenots, and that the Hapsburgs of Austria were indomitable defenders of the Reformation.
The Holy See has always acted according to the dictates of justice, in favor of the Jews!
Well, well, WELL!
So it is not a Papal Poland that grinds the Israelites to the ground.
It was not a Papal England that outlawed the Jew, nor a Protestant England that enfranchised him!
It was not a Papal France, that degraded the Jew, nor a Revolutionary and Napoleonic France which rehabilitated him!
How long has it been since Pope Pius IX kidnapped the son of the Mortaras to make a priest out of him? All Europe rang with the scandal, and the Emperor of the French implored the Holy Father to restore the boy to his distracted parents. But the Pope was unrelenting, and those Jews never saw their son, again.
How long has it been since modern liberalism compelled the Popes to discontinue their annual custom, at Rome, of publicly cursing the Jews?
How long has it been since the 29th canon of the Aurelian Council was rigidly enforcedthe Papal law which made it death for a Jew to even speak to a Catholic during Holy Week? (See Roba di Roma, by W.W. Story, page 423.)
Who was it that destroyed Jewish libraries, forced Jews to wear badges, forbade them to eat and drink with Catholics, closed all the professions to them, and taxed faithful Jews, to support Jews who consented to change their religion?
Pope Eugenius IV did it.
Who expelled the Jews from all Italy, except Rome and Ancona?
Pope Pius V did it.
Who sent the murderous, devilish Inquisition into Portugal, to first torture and then burn, the Jews?
Pope Clement VII did it.
Who ordered the general destruction of the Talmud, and sanctioned the wholesale massacres of Jews in France?
Pope John XXII did it.
Who ordered the punishment of Jewish physicians for entering Catholic houses, and denied Christian burial to Catholics who employed Jewish physicians?
Pope Gregory XIII did it.
Who controlled Europe during the dismal ages when Jews were hounded like wild beasts, denied human rights, and grudgingly permitted to dwell in pestilential ghettos?
The Popes did.
Who ruled the nations and directed the consciences of monarchs and ministers, during the fearful centuries when a Jew could not own a home, could not hold an office, could not hold up his head among men, and was forced to eke out a squalid existence, on such ignominious terms, and amid such dwarfing conditions, that the Jewish race, even now, shows the physical and moral effects of that long night of slavery?
The Popes did.
Who liberated the Jews from these horrible conditions?
Modern democracy did it.
When Great Britain, less than 100 years ago, removed the Civil Disabilities of the Jews, it was Protestant statesmanship repealing Catholic laws.
Who was the Papal theologian who taught, that Jews are slaves?
It was Saint Thomas Aquinas, the chiefest of all Roman Catholic theologians.
For hundreds of years the legislation of Europe was based upon this infernal teachingthe teaching of a theologian who was such a favorite of the recent Popes, Leo XIII, and Pius X, that they ordered all Catholic teachers to again instruct their students in the Papal theology which forfeits the life of the heretic, and imposes serfdom on the Jew. (See Barnard Lazares Anti-Semitism, page 125.)
But how could you expect these historical facts to be known to a Chicago editor, who informs the Pope and the world, that the Jews lost their rightsthe natural rights of manwhen Titus stormed Jerusalem?
According to the Tageblatt, the Jews have been the pariahs of the human race, ever since the year 70, after Christ! Mason, of the Tageblatt, ought to at least consult some simple authority on Roman history, Merivaless book, for example. It wont take him but a few minutes to learn what an ass he made of himself, when he told the Pope that the Jews had never had a square deal in the world, after Jerusalem fell. If the Tageblatt Solomon will study the subject, he will discover that the real persecution of the Jews began after Constantine the Great had made his famous alliance with the Christian bishops. Solomon may also learn that when the Emperor Julian, the Apostate, undertook to re-establish paganism, he emancipated the Jews, and attempted to rebuild their temple at Jerusalem. Solomon will learn that so long as Popery was supreme, the Jew was the vassal of the bishops and the kings, and that it was the Reformation which brightened the skies for the outlawed race.
Bernard Lazare, the scholarly Jew, says in his Anti-Semitism, page 131:
But new times were approaching; the storm foreseen by everybody broke over the church. Luther issued his 95 theses * * * For a moment the theologians forgot the Jews; they even forgot that the spreading movement took its roots in Hebrew sources * * * *
THE JEWISH SPIRIT TRIUMPHED WITH PROTESTANTISM. In certain respects, the Reformation was a return to the ancient Ebionism of the evangelic ages.
Lazare proceeds to prove that although Luther was provoked into violent language against the Jews, because they refused to become his converts, the Protestants of Germany never ill-treated the Jews. (See page 133.)
In the United States, the priest and the Jew have need of each other and the Pope has blessed the alliance.
That the Hearst papers are leagued with this queer combination of Jew financier and Roman priest, is an interesting detail; whether important as well as interesting, remains to be seen.
In the case of the Russian Jews, the new combination worked so well that our Congress, in 1913, abrogated a time-honored treaty, as a protest against Russias alleged mistreatment of her own subjects.
Descending to particulars, the new combination was able to save the Russian Jew, Beiliss, who was accused of taking all the blood out of a Gentile boy, through forty-odd incisions in his veins.
In the Leo Frank case, the new combination almost won, but not quite. And, of course, the unexpected defeat it sustained, profoundly enraged the new combination.
The Roman Catholic papers are as bitter against the State of Georgia, as are the papers of Hearst and the Jews.
The same Romanist journals that condoned and defended the deliberate assassination of the Protestant lecturer, William Black, by the Knights of Columbus, at Marshall, Texas, are unmeasured in their denunciation of the State wherein a convicted and thrice-sentenced Jew was hanged by the Vigilantes.
These Romanist papers indecently exulted in the military murder of Francisco Ferrer, whose crime consisted of teaching progressive ideas in a modern school, but they are rabidly attacking a People who were determined that one of Leo Franks lawyers should not annihilate our judicial system.
The same Romanist papers that gloried in the burning of eight Mexican heretics in 1895, at Texacapa, by the fanatical Catholic priests, can find no words too severe to condemn the legal conviction of as vile a sodomite as ever awoke the wrath of God.
