"The International Jew" Study Hour - Episode 42

April 11, 2013

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 38, “Taft Once Tried to Resist Jews – and Failed.”

This chapter details the relentless effort made by powerful Jews in this country (mostly of German orgin) to force the U.S. to abrogate it’s 80-year old treaty with Russia — to strike against their enemy Russia, and to throw  the vast business between America and Russia into the hands of the Frankfurt, Germany Jewish bankers — in which Jacob Schiff had major interests. In 1911, President William Howard Taft (heavy-set man in picture) stood against them, but Congress caved in and voted to terminate the treaty, giving a huge victory to the Jews. Taft was then defeated for a second term, but later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

As TIJ says, Taft is not smiling. This event revealed the forbidding influence Jews already wielded in Washington.
