Viereck, Ex-kaiser’s Unofficial Ambassador, Defends Wilhelm’s Anti-semitism

George Sylvester Viereck of 93 Fifth Avenue, New York City, self-styled “unofficial ambassador of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany,” in a release issued to the New York press took occasion to defend the former Kaiser against charges of anti-Semitism.

Mr. Viereck, who points out that he, personally, does not agree with the ex-Kaiser, proceeds, however, to explain the reason for Wilhelm It’s feeling against the Jews. He blames them, says Mr. Viereck, for his defeat, and states that the position taken by certain German Jews was an adequate explanation of Wilhelm’s reaction.

“He regards the late Maximilian Harden, the ruthless editor of “Die Zukunit,” as one of the most violent of those who, for years, poisoned public opinion against him, and undermined his prestige with the German people. Harden was a Jews.

“The Berliner Tageblatt,” during the most critical years of the Kaiser’s reign, canted on an uncompromising campaign against him. Nobody can doubt that this continuous attack had an important influence. The publisher of the “Tangiest was a Jew.

“Walter Rathenau, whom the Kaiser rather liked and whose interests he furthered, was reported as having said quite openly, at the time Germany was fighting with its back to the wall. “If Wilhelm returns victorious it would be a paradox of history.” Rathenau was a Jew.

“Emil Ludwig, in a pseudo-historical biography, makes a caricature of the German ruler and holds him up to ridicule. Ludwig is a Jew.

“From Marx to Trotsky, the red thread of social revolution is visible in the most momentous periods of the Kaiserreich. The leaders of this movement which aimed at the destruction of the Huhenzollerns, were Jews,” Mr. Viereck declares in his statement.
