knowing is half the battle. in journalistic circles it is a pleasing custom to speak of the press as a 'great power' within the state. as a matter of fact its importance is immense. one cannot easily overestimate it, for the press continues the work of education even in adult life. this can be advantageous where public enlightenment is of a serious and truthful character, but great harm is done when scoundrels and liars take a hand at this work. the jew exercised all his skill and tenacity in getting hold of the press. by means of the press he began gradually to control public life in its entirety. he began to drive it along the road which he had chosen to reach his own ends; for he was now in a position to create and direct that force which, under the name of 'public opinion' is better known today than it was some decades ago. a process of cleansing our culture will have to be applied in practically all spheres. the stage, art, literature, the cinema, the press and advertisement posters, all must have the stains of pollution removed and be placed in the service of a national and cultural idea. we will have to clean up the moral pollution of our city 'culture' fearlessly and without regard for the outcry that will follow.
