27 Jewish Copper Kings Reap Rich War-Profits

"Among the distinguishing mental and moral traits of the Jews may be mentioned:
distaste for hard or violent physical labor; a strong family sense and
philoprogenitiveness; a marked religious instinct; the courage of the prophet and
martyr rather than of the pioneer and soldier; remarkable power to survive in
adverse environments, combined with great ability to retain racial solidarity;
capacity for exploitation, both individual and social; shrewdness and astuteness in
speculation and money matters generally; an Oriental love of display and a full
appreciation of the power and pleasure of social position; a very high average of
intellectual ability."
-- The New International Encyclopedia.
The Jew in Character and Business
The Jew is again being singled out for critical attention throughout the world. His emergence in
the financial, political and social spheres has been so complete and spectacular since the war,
that his place, power and purpose in the world are being given a new scrutiny, much of it
unfriendly. Persecution is not a new experience to the Jew, but intensive scrutiny of his nature
and super-nationality is. He has suffered for more than 2,000 years from what may be called
instinctive anti-Semitism of the other races, but this antagonism has never been intelligent nor
has it been able to make itself intelligible. Nowadays, however, the Jew is being placed, as it
were, under the microscope of economic observation that the reasons for his power, the reasons
for his separateness, the reasons for his suffering may be defined and understood.
In Russia he is charged with being the source of Bolshevism, an accusation which is serious or
not according to the circle in which it is made; we in America, hearing the fervid eloquence and
perceiving the prophetic ardor of young Jewish apostles of social and industrial reform, can
calmly estimate how it may be. In Germany he is charged with being the cause of the Empire's
collapse and a very considerable literature has sprung up, bearing with it a mass of
circumstantial evidence that gives the thinker pause. In England he is charged with being the
real world ruler, who rules as a super-nation over the nations, rules by the power of gold, and
who plays nation against nation for his own purposes, remaining himself discreetly in the
background.
