| Transcript | hard to believe that any Jew, regardless of his economic status, would do anything to harm the Jewish people. Yes, it is hard to believe. Yet, history, both past and present, is filled with instances and examples of the betrayal of the Jewish people, of the misleadership of the Jewish people and of the holding back of the people from struggle through demagogy, confusion and even intimidation by bourgeois Jewish organizations and leaders. The so-called "hush-hush" policy of the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Labor Committee with regard to the struggle against anti-Semitism; the notorious role of the American Jewish Committee in seeking to hold back the anti-nazi boycott movement that had developed in the American Jewish community in the thirties, are characteristic of the attempt to silence militant Jewish action particularly when it began to ally itself with the progressive labor forces of America. They are indicative of the tendency of the top economic brackets to subordinate the interests of the Jewish people to their own narrow class and economic interests. And why not? These American Jewish Committee leaders have something to protect that's a little closer to home than the Jews of the world. It is impossible here to give a complete breakdown of the membership of this wide-flung Committee, but an examination of the structure of a small part of its executive committee of 150 members, as of 1944, is illuminating. Forty members of the 1944 executive committee were officers and/or directors of business corporations. Three of those executive committee members were partners of Kuhn, Loeb and Company and three were members of the New York Stock Exchange. Among the corporation executives are Jacob Blaustein, an oil tycoon; Sam Lewisohn and Roger W. Strauss, mining magnates; Henry Ittelson, investment executive; Harris Perlstein of Chicago, president of the Pabst Brewing Company. For a more complete listing, see Jewish Life for April, 1948.
