THE POSITION IN THE WORLD AS A WHOLE
CHAPTER IX THE POSITION IN THE WORLD AS A WHOLE
The danger of the Jewish nation in the world to-day may be summed up in this phrase:—
"The Jews are obtaining control and we will not be controlled by them."
That is the simplest formula, and the one which would be immediately subscribed to by the whole mass of those outside the Jewish community who are alive to the question at all. Being the simplest form of the truth, it needs, when applied to a highly complex situation, detailed modification.
This modification proceeds from three sources:—
First, the extent of the Jewish control and the extent of the resentment against that control vary very largely from one community to another.
Secondly, the civic tradition of each community in its treatment of the Jewish question also differs from that of every other, though these various traditions fall into certain fairly well-defined groups.
