Not that they are inactive. Fearing a sudden investigation by the authorities, the New York Kehillah has grown extremely busy and has doubled the guards all round. Why?
The reason is that there is a resolution in the United States Senate which points directly at the New York Kehillah.
Prominent Jews have invaded Washington on one pretext or another, but only to turn their influence against that resolution. Why?
The reason is that that resolution provides for an investigation by a Senate Committee into certain matters which have already been set forth in The Dearborn Independent.
Senate Resolution No. 60, introduced by Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, provides that the Amalgamated Clothing Workers (a Jewish Bolshevik organization that is the feeder of Red activity throughout this country) be thoroughly investigated. In the official language of the Resolution: “The purposes, objects, methods and tactics of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and its relations, if any, with other political organizations and quasi-political groups, and to make a report to the Senate of such findings.”
Why has the New York Kehillah closed the portholes and called in help—“Gentile,” by the way—to face a possible storm?
Why have the most prominent Jews in the United States hurried to Washington to hold conferences with Senators, their object being to bring pressure to bear against the Resolution?
Why should the American Jewish Committee, or members of it, why should Jewish clothing manufacturers who are the principal sufferers from the Amalgamated, why should Jewish members of the Baruch “war government” go to Washington to interfere with a proposed investigation? Why?
