A Royal Foe of Anti-Semitism
(Continued from page 10)
preferred securities, and government
bonds. However, all these papers will
depreciate to only a fraction of their
real value the moment property rights
are replaced by insecurity. What will
the plunderers then divide among
themselves.
“Quite different is the case as ap
plied to property owned by the no
bility and the clergy. There, at least,
if this pillaging should greatly extend,
is bound to result in considerable plun
der which can be divided. In those
classes property is of such nature that
it is not likely to depreciate much
during race riots. Out of the estates
of the higher nobility and the clergy
everyone may carve for himself a slice
of soil or forest, may expropriate
horses and cattle. There can be no
doubt that this comparatively profitless
plundering campaign, originally aimed
at mobile property, will lead to the
dismemberment of real estate.
“Alas, our higher aristocracy of
Vienna pays no heed to the possibility
of such consequences. These gentle
men are extremely uneducated and ig
norant. If some great social calamity
should smite our social system, I, who
have learned a thing or two, would
surely be able to earn my bread and
butter, through my pen or at some
other useful occupation. But those top
lofty gentlemen, who have no knowl
edge of anything, and who are physi
cally too frail to become woodchoppers
or quarrymen, would in all likelihood
starve to death. The philosophy of
those of our higher social strata is
fully in accord with the Jew-baiters,
but refuses to give heed to the con
sequence.
“What do they want of the Jews?
They pay their taxes promptly and, ac
cording to reports from Bosnia, there
are 800 Jewish soldiers serving in the
division that is stationed there. Their
behavior is faultless. And as for the
large number of Jewish reserve of
ficers, they have so conspicuously dis
tinguished themselves that a dispro
portionate number of them have been
proposed honorable mention and pro
motion.
“Those who perform their duties in
the service of the State may justly
count upon the protection of the
State.”
Similarly striking and outspoken was
the Crown Prince’s incognito attitude
toward the infamous ritual libel of
Tiszaeslar. His reaction to this fateful
incident in the history of Hungarian
Jewry is contained in one of the newly

discovered documents dated 1883 and
appearing in the same newspaper un
der the head, “Die Manner mit der
Wachsmaske” (Men in Wax Masks).
In it the Crown Prince unburdened
himself with great earnestness on the
problem of race hatred and the pit-
falls of social instability. Incidentally,
he also sounded a grave indictment
against his father’s regime. The arti
cle, in full, reads as follows:
“I am persuaded that racial animos
ity is a symptom of social decline. It
is noteworthy that this hatred among
the races is advocated most fervently
by those who are the retarders of
progress throughout Europe. They not
only advocate it, but also exploit it
for their selfish interests.
“Out of Hungary comes to me the
fantastic tale involving a village along
the Tisza. But this tale does not in
the slightest resemble those conceived
by Jokai or by any other great writer.
“The prerequisites of all national and
social life are order and security.
Wherever order and security become
chronically unbalanced, it is bound to
affect injuriously the whole body pol
itic. We may easily put aside all per
sonal sympathies, or antipathies, and
need no imagine that we may influence
the attitude of our ruler. But we de
clare that Hungary does not bear alone
the responsibility for these happenings
in Hungary. Responsibility must be
shared by numerous other extraneous
factors, for Hungary is not alone cul
pable in the fact that the Jews, who
are indubitably useful factors in the
economic life of the country, who par
ticipate to a considerable extent in the
work of social philanthropy, constantly
suffer from racial and religious ha
treds and from ineradicable supersti
tions.
“The situation in Hungary would
never have reached its present deplor
able stage had the responsible author
ities here in Vienna performed their
duties at all times. Instead, race hatred
has been fomented and disseminated
in these same influential Viennese cir
cles. This precipitated the present state
of corruption.
“Moreover, this movement will not
stop at the Jews. Those men who wear
wax masks will realize that in reality
they have been hurting their own coun
try. But once the mobs have robbed
the Jews of everything, they will turn
upon the baronial castles. A conflagra
tion never makes distinction: it con
sumes with equal avidity the homes
of magnates and Jews.
“And in that blaze there will surely
melt away the wax mask of that civ
ilization which has been without will
and courage to stamp out in Hungary
those incipient movements which have
resulted in the most disgraceful conse
quences of this century.”
