A demand that the magazine, “Social Justice” be investigated by the United States government because it is disseminating anti-democratic propaganda which menaces successful prosecution of the United Nations’ war against the Axis, was made last night by Prof. James H. Sheldon, chairman of the Anti-Nazi League, speaking to a group of YMCA leaders in Brooklyn.
Prof. Sheldon cited the current issue of the publication, dated March 16, which reprints an address made by Samuel Untermeyer in 1933 urging a boycott on Nazi goods. By stressing certain passages out of context and by the use of accompanying material, “Social Justice” attempts to prove that the present war was caused by a “Jewish boycott” against Germany.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
