He said: “ The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. They lit it now.” He made this statement when Jewish leaders and the Jewish Press in America were fulminating against a series pf articles printed in Ford’s newspaper The Dearborn Independent during the years 1920 to 1922. After some years of pressure such as only organized Jewry can conceive or inflict, Henry Ford was made to apologise to Jewry in a letter addressed to Louis Marshall, then leader of the American Jewish Commit­ tee, dated June 30, 1927. Ford’s apology was abject, but neither then nor since did he ever deny the truth of the articles. As clearly as the “ Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion ” reveal a concerted plan of action, of intention and achievement, through centuries of world history, so the long series of articles in The Dearborn Independent expose the powerful concentra­ tion of forces organized by Jewish interests and the effects of Jewish influences in the United States from the time of the Civil War up to the uneasy years following the first world war. The scope of the original articles is wide, the analysis of the relendess march of Jewish ambition and the rapid acq^uisition of political power is deep and dispassionate. In their entirety they present a most thorough exposition pf the range of Jewish influences in America over many decades; they provide adequate evidence of the motives that inspire sucn phenomena and the ultimate objective towards which Jewish policy is leading the world. In the 39 years that have passed since the publication of the series began, Jewish power in the United States has developed to a degree far out­ distancing even the alarming proportions exposed at that time. The Jewish “ National State ” of which we have heard so much deceptive talk elsewhere is already firmly established. De jure and de facto the United States of Amcrica can claim that title, though many American citizens may even yet be astonished and no doubt indignant to read the statement. But, examine the PACTS. The Dearborn Independent articles fitted the American scene 30 years ago, they fit it now I The Jewish Question continues to mount the scale of public attention all over the civilized world, attracting ever a higher typo of mind to the discussion of its significance. It cannot be encompassed within the range of a single volume. This edited version seeks merely to give the gist of the four volumes in which the famous series of articles were printed under the title: THE INTERNATIONAL JEW. Presenting the essential facts in easier sequence and condensed to about one-tenth of the original wordage, many contemporary illustra­ tions have been eliminated, but the implications of the Jewish Question in America and the evidence of the impact of the Jewish Idea on the lives of ordinary American' citizens have been marshalled in a form readily assimilable by new readers, providing a useful digest for the informed. The way to a just solution of “ the world’s foremost problem” is clearly indicated. Truth is visible when honest men seek Her diligently. The reader, wherever he may be, to whatever nation he may belong, should seriously reflect upon the fact that the condi­ tions long-operating in the United States and the conclusions which emerge from this investigation of the Jewish Question in that powerful country, can, in all probability, now be paralleled in his own land, his own city. If he should seek confirmation—let him look around. G . F. G r e e n . London, February, 1948. e n r y f o r d was bom on July 30, 1863, during the H American Civil War, on a farm at Dearborn, near Detroit, Michigan. He was the son of William Ford, a prosperous farmer who was of Irish stock. His mother was of mixed Dutch and Scandinavian origin. At 17 he became an appren­ tice in a machine shop in Detroit, and he also kept a machinc shop of his own and worked for a harvester company by repairing their portable farm engines. His mechanical genius showed itself in early youth, and in 1890, when he secured a post with the Detroit Edison Electric Company, he realized that the public were more interested in road vehicles than in tractors and he studied the principles of the gas engine to overcome the weight of steam engines. In 1887 he had built his first gas engine and kept on building more. His first gasoline “ buggy ” was given a public trial in 1893 at which it attained a speed of 25 miles an hour. In 1903 he formed the Ford Motor Company with 12 share­ holders and a capital of 100,000 dollars. In 1920 he was produc­ ing one thousand of the world-famous Ford motor<ars a day. In 1924 the annual production of the Ford works reached the towering peak of two million cars, trucks and tractors. The secret of his success lay in mass production methods, and high wages. Of humble origin himself he had a deep feeling for his employees, and worked out rough and ready principles in regarci to labour which he constantly applied. One was to pay the highest possible wages, and in this he was a true reformer; another, to accept applicants for work without questions or references. Many European socialists were impressed by Ford’s proof demonstration that Marx had been rendered obsolete by Ford and that capitalism could be rationalized and moralized. In 1918, Ford, who had been a supporter of President Wilson, had unsuccessfully run for the Senate, and there was some talk later—it caused alarm among the professional politicians— that he would run for the Presidency, but he announced that he would not stand against Coolidge. Ford made great endeav­ ours, most of them impracticable, to negotiate peace between the warring nations of Europe in the first world war. In 1920 he went into print and bought " The Dearborn Independent," a. virile and very independent journal published in his home town. It was noted for its courageous and continu­ ous examination of the Jewish Question in America, and for its objective views on true Americanism. Ford was accused by many Jews, along with Deterding and Greuger, to be a financial backer of the Hitler movement in Germany. At the Nuremberg Tribunal, Baldur Von Shirach, Hider Youth Leader, said he had become “ Jew-wise ” through reading Ford’s books. Ford was a resolute opponent of Roosevelt’s policy of “ controls ” in industry and commerce, but in his later years his political and other public activities were few. He died aged 83, at Detroit, April 7, 1947. A famous American and one of the world’s outstanding individuals. In his book “ My Life and Work,” published in 1922, Henry Ford includes the following concerning the “ International Jew ” series of articles: " The work which we describe as Studies in the Jewish Question, and which is variously described by antagonists as “ the Jewish campaign,” “ the atuck on the Jews,” “ the anti-Semitic pogrom,” and so forth, needs no explanation to those who have followed it. Its motives and purposes must be judged by the work itself. It is offered as a contribution to a question which deeply affects the coun­ try, a question which is racial at its source, and which concerns influences and ideals rather than persons. Our statements must be judged by candid readers who are intelligent enough to lay our words alongside life as they are able to observe it. If our word and their observation agree, the case is made. It is per- fecdy silly to begin to damn us before it has been shown that our statements are baseless or reckless. The first item to be considered is the truth of what we have set forth. And that is precisely the item which our critics choose to evade. Readers of our articles will see at once that we are not actuated by any kind of prejudice, except it may be a prejudice in favour of the principles which have made our civilization. There had been observed in this country certain streams of influence which were causing a marked deterioration in our literature, amuse­ ments, and social conduct; business was departing from its old-time substantial soundness; a general letting-down of standards was felt everywhere.
