The anti-Semitic journals, which are continually endeavoring to instill in their readers a conception of the Jew as the anti-Semite would like him to be cannot swallow the achievement of Charles A. Levine which is a direct refutation to their malicious propaganda. The papers therefore choose the easiest of all arguments, the sneer.
The newspaper, “Deutsches Tageblatt”, for instance, charges that the “magnates of the chosen race influenced Germany to hail Levine, the son of the chosen race, as a great pioneer.”
