[The
immigrant Jew] quickly notices those negative features which live
on the surface of American life: the hunt after the dollar, the
drift toward materialism, and he is forced ot the dangerous and
cynical conclusion that America--and here I repeat what one may

of bluff, that religion, morality, politics and learning are a
sham and the only thing of value in this country is almighty Mammon.
