Since this problem illustrates very concretely the way in which the 

 social sciences are vitally concerned in world politics, I will dwell on it 

 briefly. It is illustrated in the two maps in Fig. 8. On the left we see 

 the logical linguistic divisions in Europe, which are undoubtedly Aryan 

 and Altaic. Here also is shown in black the realm of the German nation. 

 In the right-hand map (Fig. 8) are the race divisions in Europe, i.e. 

 Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean. The German nation is half Nordic 

 and half Alpine. The Jew belongs to a ' cult,' but the dominant Jews 

 in Europe, including about three-quarters of the whole body, are broad- 

 headed Alpines like the rest of the mid-European peoples. The most 

 logical explanation is that the Polish Jews are the result of the widespread 

 conversions carried on by the Jews in eastern Europe. For instance, in 

 A.D. 740 the Khan of the Khazars (who lived north of the Black Sea) 

 was converted, and many of this large nation of medieval traders

followed his lead (Griffith Taylor 1936b). Racially the Khazars were 

 akin to the Turks, i.e. they were Alpines; and they are also known 

 as the Royal Scythians. Indeed the Polish Jews still call themselves 

 Ashkenazim, which is a Hebrew word meaning ' Scythian.' 



A year or two ago the German authorities were specifically excluding 

 the German Jews as of ' non -Aryan race.' Of course racially they are 

 Alpines like the south Germans, and their language is best called Judeo- 

 German. Anyone with a slight knowledge of German can understand 

 the following sentence ' Es ist gar alles kein Neues nicht unter der Sunn.' 

 Yet this is Yiddish, which is mostly a medieval German dialect learnt 

 in the Rhineland (Wiener 1899). It has a considerable addition of 

 Hebrew words, in the same way that English includes much Latin, but 

 English does not thereby become a Romance language. . Nor does 

 English change its Saxon character when it is written in Pitman's short- 

 hand. The Semitic script used in Jewish newspapers disguises, but 

 does not change, the essentially Aryan basis of Yiddish. Thus the 

 accurate student of social science would describe the Jews as a composite ' 

 culture-group (' cult ') with a specific religion, most of whom are Alpine in 

 race, and speak an Aryan language [a dialect of German) which is written 

 in a peculiar script.
