The “Amberger Tageblatt” has discovered that the London “Times” is a Jewish organ. “By chance I have made a remarkable discovery”, the Editor reports. “While holding my ‘Times’, I chanced to notice the reflection in the mirror. ‘Semit’, it read. The Jews, who read their mother tongue from right to left, read the name of ‘Times’ in that fashion. It is the Jewish organ, the ‘Semit’. The last proprietor of the ‘Times’, Lord Northdliffe, is well-known to have been a Jew, and the naming of this paper was certainly not a matter of chance on the part of the Jewish magnates of the City. This discovery must be communicated immediately to the anti-Jewish circles in England”.
