an excerpt from
Chapter 6]:
As just one percent of the population in
England, by World War I Jews accounted for 23% of Britain's non-landed
millionaires, as financiers, merchants, bankers, stockbrokers, and other such
entrepreneurs. [GINSBERG, B., 1993, p. 22] Disproportionate influence in the
mass media, as usual, was extraordinary. The Reuters news agency
("the chief purveyor of information on world events to the entire British
press and, at times, the government") was founded and owned by Jews
(originally by Paul Julius Reuter whose original name was Israel Beer
Josaphat), as was the Sunday Times, the Financial Times, the English
Review, the Daily Telegraph, and the Westminister Gazette. A Jewish businessman, Harry Oppenheim, also
had a major interest in the London Daily News. [GINSBERG, B., 1993, p.
22] "In England," notes Cecil
Roth,
"the most notable Jewish figure in
the newspaper world in the nineteenth
century was J. M. Levy, who founded not
merely the Daily Telegraph,
but, as a result, popular journalism as
a whole in England ... All three of
the pioneers in the establishment of the
European news agencies were
Jews -- Reuter, Wolff, and Havas."
[ROTH, C., 1940, p. 143, 145]
