 Baker, because of the use of the term “Christian” in help wanted advertisements inserted in newspapers by their subordinates.

The Jews succeeded in obtaining the withdrawal of the Junior Plattsburg Manual, used by students in officers’ training camps, because it contained the phrase “the ideal officer is a Christian gentleman,” which the Jews construed to be an infringement of their rights.

The Kehillah in its report for 1920 stated that several important New York newspapers, having been informed by it that the term “Christian” had appeared in the help wanted advertisements of mercantile firms, the owners of the newspapers sent in their apologies, and promised stricter censorship in the future.

The Jews do not consider the use of the term “Jews” in help wanted advertisements as discrimination against non-Jews, and Jewish mercantile houses continue its use in their advertisements in the New York Times and other Jewish-owned dailies.

These are “Jewish rights” as they are indicated by Jewish demands. But they are by no means all; they are merely typical of all the so-called “rights” and all the insistent demands.

To go still further: the Kehillah condemned the use of the term “Americanization,” because of the implication that there is no distinction between “Americanization” and “Christianization.” “Americanization” is claimed by Jews to be a mere cloak for proselytizing.

The Kehillah is behind demands on public funds for the support of Jewish educational, charitable, correctional and other institutions. One important point about the great influx of Jewish immigration is that tens of thousands of these people come from lands where Jewish government has been established by order of the Peace Conference, and where public funds supported Jewish activities. Their attitude toward America in this respect may therefore be accurately gauged.

It is a common practice in New York for the Jews to force themselves into juries which try Jewish cases. Jewish law students, with which the city swarms, “work their way through college” partly or wholly by jury duty.
