Jewish Conspiracy

Aaron Sapiro is the originator of cooperative marketing plans for farm ers. During the past 15 years, he has been instrumental in building up agricultural marketing organizations in 38 states, and he is attorney for them. In the past, he has been employed by both the California fruit-growers and the American Federation of Farm Bureaus.

Henry Ford's anti-Jewish articles in his Dearborn Independent are still remembered. The Detroit manufacturer was especially concerned with Jewish bankers, and in the course of the Dearborn articles accused Sapiro of being one of a "conspiracy of Jewish bankers who seek to control the food markets of the world." Indeed, according to Mr. Sapiro's declaration, he has been accused by the same publication of seeking to gain control of the markets for wheat, potatoes, hops, hay, tobacco and cotton, as well as the raisin and bean industries.

Mr. Sapiro has accordingly sued Henry Ford and the Dearborn Publishing Co. for $1,000,000 libel. The lawyer claims that his standing with U. S. and Canadian farmers has been irreparably damaged by the articles put out in Mr. Ford's paper. All in all, Mr. Sapiro's declaration amounts to 92 printed pages, and contains 21 separate "counts," each of which quotes articles said to have appeared in the Dearborn Independent.
