n.p.: n.p., n.d. [195-?]. An anonymously compiled and published pamphlet that includes a 1933 speech by Zionist lawyer, Samuel Untermyer, in which he advocates for an economic boycott of all German goods and services followed by Father Charles Coughlin's response in Social Justice. Coughlin maintains that WWII was fought on behalf of 600,000 German-Jewish "aristocrats" and forced Christian to fight Christian. His response received widespread condemnation in the press and led to a federal investigation and the banning of Social Justice for the duration of the war. The cover of the pamphlet asks, "Is it ok to be anti-Christian, but a crime in the United States to be anti-Semitic?"

Although there is no indiciation of who compiled or published the pamphlet, it was advertised in Conde McGinley's Common Sense during the 1960s and distributed by his Christian Educational Association. The pamphlet was later reprinted by James K. Warner's Sons of Liberty and the Christian Book Club of America. The same entity also appears to have published Excerpts from "The International Jew" By Henry Ford, Which Appeared in His Newspaper The Dearborn Independent, May, 1920 to April, 1921.

Stapled blue wrappers (8 ½" x 5 ½"), [2], 16, [2] pp. A Fine copy. This original edition is scarce with only three copies in OCLC (Kansas, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara). Later reprinted by James K. Warner's Sons of Liberty and the Christian Book Club of America. Included in the bibliographic database, Singerman Bibliography of Antisemitic Texts in English (SIBA).
