Henry Ford is continuing to aid widespread anti-Jewish propaganda in the United States, Henry Paynter charged today in the fifth of a series of articles in the newspaper PM dealing with fifth column activities in this country.

The author states that Ford workers, when they enter and leave their plants, read such signs as “Jews Teach Communism,” “Jews Teach Atheism” and “Jews Control Money.”

W.J. Cameron, Ford Company official, is now trying to “corrupt” Protestant ministers throughout the Middle West to the Hitlerite type of anti-Jewish philosophy, the author said. The anti-Semitic Anglo-Saxon Federation of America, of which Cameron is head, is trying to convince Protestant ministers that “Jesus was not a Jew” in order to remove one strong opposition group to Hitler propaganda, Paynter claimed.

The Federation is still selling articles by Cameron on the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,” discredited record of a purported Jewish plot for world domination, according to the article. These articles are contained in two books entitled “The International Jew” and “The Jewish Question.” Both books assertedly carry endorsements from Ford in which he paraphrases a mystic Hitler utterance that even if the “Protocols” are false they are probably true in essence.
