The Jew and American Ideals

The Jew and American Ideals is a book by John Spargo. The contents list chapters called The Mystery of the Protocols, Is Socialism a Jewish Conspiracy? and The Jewish Socialists and Bolshevism. The writer reports finding in England great nation-wide organizations, obviously financed, devoted to the sinister purpose of creating anti-Jewish feeling and sentiment. The text warns that unless this propaganda is checked, unless the intelligence and the conscience of England can be marshaled against it, England will take the place of the Russia of the Romanovs as the land of pogroms.

The text asks how it can be possible to regard Bolshevism as typically and essentially Jewish, or as part of an all-Jewish conspiracy. The text reports that Trotzky has many times declared that he is no Jew, but a general proletarian. The writer says that, so far as he can learn, the Association Unity of Russia is the name of a group of Russian emigrés residing in New York.
