Christian citizens who want ACTION
and say: “We will give it to you pressed
down and overflowing! We leaders are
risking our lives to write a new page in
American history. Wc do not propose to
sec America made the rag-hag and waste
basket for an element that Hitler is con
trolling in Ciermany, to have it transfer
its predatory tactics wholesale over here
into the United States, run our institu
tions high, wide and handsome, and dic
tate to us what we, as Anglo-Saxon free
men, and native sons shall do, with an
economic club over us if we refuse.”
In issue after issue of ’’Liberation,”
Pel ley repeats the hoary libels against
the Jews made notorious by the Ku Klux
Klan and the Dearborn Independent, and
garnishes them with liberal doses of his
own philosophy of “Christian Democ
racy.”’ He revives the charges of an in
ternational Jewish "money-bund,” blames
the depression on the Jews, and finds that
they are plotting the ruin of Christian
civilization.
President Roosevelt is held to be a dupe
of Jewish bankers. I he Federal Reserve
System, Pelley shouts, “is under the in
direct but no less effective control of men
like Eugene Meyer, James Warburg and
other members of the international Jew
ish money-bund. It was, in effect, for
these gentlemen that President Roosevelt’s
policies made it criminal for the aver
age citizen to retain lawful money in his
strong-box.” The NR A, Pelley says, is
part of a Jewish conspiracy. According
to “Liberation” the Jews are also the
cause of President Roosevelt's popularity.
In the June 24th issue this sheet says,
"Why all this manufactured publicity and
propaganda by Jewish Hollywood on the
screen, by Jewish Baruch and Meyer and
Warburg in finance, by Jewish Ochs
and Winchell in journalism, to 'put Roose
velt over big’ with the rank and file of
the moronistic element who frequently
mistake and applaud the wrong hero on
the silver screen." Pelley has gone so
far as to state that the “Jewish money-
bund ' has put a dictator in the White
House who is already so subservient to
these predatory Jews that you can hear
him openly designated on the streets of
Washington as 'President Franklin 1).
Rosenfeld.’ ” In another number the Sil
ver Shirts’ mouthpiece declares that “if
I* ranklin D. Roosevelt had not been acqui
escent to German-Jewish alien money
kings and their satraps abroad, he never
would have gotten a smell of the New
York governorship—where a Jew, Leh
man, now sits enthroned in his place, just
as the half Jew, Alfred Schmidt, popu
larly known as Ai Smith, sat before him.”
To “save” America from the Jews,
Pelley proposes that “this nation must
come to Christian democracy” which
would mean “the incorporation of the
United States of America into a colossal
People’s corporation, in which all the
citizens are common and preferred stock
holders, with voting rights as facile and
effective as in any corporation of the pres
ent in commercial business, and where
every citizen draws some sort of dividend
according to his capabilities and indus
try." In order to achieve this “Christian
democracy” Pelley plans to “form quickly
and rigorously in every state in this de
bauched American Union, a new political
party that shall be first of all a spiritual
thing: a Native-Son, Protestant-Christian
political machine that shall proceed to
put men in office who cannot be bought or
intimidated, and who shall have first of
all the principles of Christ before them
as the motif of their statecraft, ushering
in a new day and a new deal for this
despoiled American nation where subver
sive foreign elements, from highest inter
national banker to lowest long-haired
fanatic, are kicked permanently and ade
quately into the middle of the Atlantic,
to stay kicked.”
Apart from these nonsensical and big
oted ravings, Pelley has revealed that
his Silver Shirts are already organized
in 46 states and boasts that before the
year is out "you are going to see the
Silver Shirts loom large in the events of
the United States.” Thus far little or
nothing has been heard or seen of them,
but there is no question that Pelley is a
potential danger. He has stated that he
(ounts it an honor to be in the confidence
of some of the highest Hitlerites in the
United States and to know something of
their forthcoming plans against predatory
Jewry.”
I'.ven more significant is a passage in
"Liberation,” which declared that “it is
the order of things that Hitler should
be doing what he is doing. It is the or
der of things that those wicked and malig
nant spirits who have incarnated in cer
tain sections of the Hebrew race trying
to bring about the downfall of the Christ
Peoples, should meet a fearful fate in
this closing of the Cycle of Cosmic Event.
I hat contest is on the make and Hitler's
job it has been to do the advance work.
But Hitler is not going to finish that work.
I he finish of it comes right here in
America.”
Just how strong the Silver Shirts real
ly are it is difficult to determine, although
8,000 copies of “Liberation" are being
sent broadcast throughout the country. It
may be that the Nazis in Germany will
subsidize Pelley’s silver-shirted anti-Sem
ites and seek to utilize this nativist
movement to advance their propaganda
in this country. It is possible, too, that
Pelley’s boastful declaration of a link
with the Nazis is just talk. But in any
event American Jewish leaders would do
well to take steps to prevent the Silver
Shirts from achieving the strength the
brown shirts achieved in Germany while
German Jewry remained inactive and
silent.
