“The Jews, through the voice of the subsidized press are drumming urbi et orid that the American billionaire. Henry Ford, the most productive factor in the economic life of America at present has abandoned Anti-Semitism as his belie” The Jews think that by such news, totally invented by them, they will disarm European public opinion in the intensified battle against the muribund and dissolvent Judaism. They fool themselves. the tribe of Judas deluding at the same time, the whole world with false information.
“Besides his unlimited knowledge of his industry Henry Ford is also a leader of men the world over, and a deep thinker and famous writer, who writes powerfully and originally, in his weekly page in his famous newspaper the ‘Dearborn Independent.’ A man of his calibre cannot turn turtle for the love of the Jews, nor abandon acquired truths, gained through his deep spirit of observation, through personal contact of a man of great affairs with Jews. He cannot, as a man and a steady character, qualify to-day as a mere error what up to yesterday he announced to the entire world as the truth. The Jews, pure and simple, are lying.”
