The Truth About the Slump

It has been said that every country has the Jews it deserves, and we all know that taken generally the Jewish citizens of the British Empire are distinguished by public spirit and a high standard of commercial integrity and fair dealing.

In some other European countries the Jews have been greatly oppressed.  Every student of German history knows that for centuries the people of that country lived under the despotism of a multitude of petty rulers, and in self defence were driven into secret organisation.  The Jews in particular were singled out for exceptional treatment.

It is an outstanding trait of human nature that every community of human beings, large or small, tends to become inspired with an ideal of its destiny, and that from such feelings spring the finest actions that adorn the history of the world.  Occasionally there occurs a perversion of racial or national ideals, which then become a public danger.  We have now reached a point at which it is necessary to consider, unfortunately, whether the atrocious treatment meted out to them in the past has created such a perversion of ideals among a section, or group, of the Jews on the Continent of Europe.

Ten years ago much interest was excited by the publication in London of documents purporting to show that a secret organisation of Jewish character had existed for a long period on the Continent of Europe, and that its object unceasingly pursued from generation to generation was by degrees to enslave and dominate the non-Jewish peoples of the world.  According to the documents published the engineers of the movement were wholly indifferent as to the moral character of the means adopted to attain the end.

The publication of this matter led to expressions of strong indignation by leading Jews that reputable journals should print such allegations.  The documents were declared to be gross forgeries, long known and exploded on the Continent of Europe and various sources were given as their origin.

The extraordinary thing about these "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," as they are called, is the accuracy with which they are being fulfilled.  Their origin may be wrapped in mystery, but of the fulfilment of the programme set out in them there can be no question.

The "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were published by Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, in 1920, and were reviewed at length in the London Times of May 8, and the London Spectator of May 15.

In its notice of the pamphlet the Times explained that it was a reprint of matter published in Russia in 1905 by Professor Sergius Nilus, a minor official in the Russian Foreign Office.  In view of the course of world events between 1905 and 1920, the Times thought it important to explain that there could be no question of the issue in 1905, as the British Museum Library held a copy of the original Russian pamphlet with the Museum date stamp of August 10, 1906, on it, showing its date of receipt.

According to the explanation given by Professor Nilus in his preface, the matter he published came into his hands in the following manner:

"A manuscript has been handed to me by a personal friend now deceased ... with the positive assurance that it was a true copy in translation of original documents stolen by a woman from one of the most influential and highly initiated leaders of freemasonry.  The theft was accomplished at the close of a secret meeting of the initiated in France, that nest of Jewish Masonic conspiracy."

According to the summary given in the London Times, the documents set out:

(1) That there has been for centuries a secret international political organisation of the Jews.

(2) That the spirit of this organisation is one of undying hatred of the Christian world coupled with a titanic ambition for world domination.

(3) That the goal relentlessly pursued for centuries is the destruction of the Christian national states, and the substitution for them of an international Jewish dominion.

(4) That the method adopted for first weakening, then destroying the Christian national states is the infusion of disintegrating political ideas ranging from liberalism to radicalism, radicalism to communism.  Out of the welter of world anarchy, in response to the desperate clamour of distraught humanity, the stern, logical, pitiless rule of the "King of the Seed of David" is to arise.

(5) The political dogmas evolved by Christian Europe, democratic statesmanship and politics, are all equally contemptible to the rulers of Zion.  "Political problems are not meant to be under-stood by ordinary people: they can only be comprehended, as I have said before, by rulers who have been directing affairs for many centuries."

(6) To this conception of statesmanship the masses are contemptible cattle, and the political leader, of the Gentiles, "upstarts from its midst as rulers, are likewise blind in politics.  They are puppets pulled by the hidden hand of the Elders," puppets mostly corrupt, always inefficient, easily coaxed, bullied, or blackmailed into submission, unconsciously furthering the advent of Jewish dominion.

(7) The Press, the theatre, stock exchange, specula-tion, science, law itself, in the hands that hold all the gold are so many means of procuring a deliberate confusion and bewilderment of public opinion, a demoralisation of the young, and an encouragement of the vices of the adults, eventually substituting in the minds of the Gentiles, for the idealistic aspirations of Christian culture, the "cash basis," and a mentality of materialistic scepticism, or cynical lust for pleasure.

In the programme for securing world domination as sketched out in the Protocols it was laid down:

"It is indispensable for our plans that wars should not produce any territorial alterations."

It was remarked in the Times article that this view seemed curiously re-echoed in the "Peace without annexations" cry after the Great War.

It is remarkable to think of the following passage as appearing in 1905:

"We will create a universal economic crisis by all possible underhand means, and with the help of gold, which is all in our hands.  Simultaneously we will throw into the streets huge crowds of working men throughout Europe.  We will increase the wages which will not help workmen, as at the same time we will raise the prices of prime necessities. ...

"It is essential to us at all costs to deprive the aristocracy of their lands.  To attain this the best method is to force up rates and taxes.  These methods will keep the landed interests at their lowest possible ebb. ...

"In governing the world the best results are secured by violence and intimidation. ...

"In politics we must know how to confiscate property without hesitation, if by so doing we can obtain subjection and power.  Our State, following the way of peaceful conquest, has the right of substituting for the terrors of war executions less apparent and more expedient, which are necessary to uphold terror, producing blind submission.

"By new laws we will regulate the political life of our subjects as though they were so many parts of a machine.  Such laws will gradually restrict all freedom and liberties allowed by the Gentiles.

"It is essential for us to arrange that besides ourselves there should be in all countries nothing but a huge proletariat, so many soldiers and police loyal to our cause.

"In order to demonstrate our enslavement of the Gentile Governments of Europe we will show our power to one of them by means of crime and violence, that is to say, a reign of terror.

"Our programme will induce a third part of the populace to watch the remainder from a pure sense of duty, or from the principle of voluntary service.

"The main problem for our government is how to weaken the brain of the public by criticism, how to make it lose its power of reasoning which creates opposition, and how to distract the public mind by senseless phraseology."

A correspondent writing to the Times on May 11, 1920, pointed out that in the original Russian pamphlet there appeared in the preface the following statement by the author, which had been omitted from the English edition.

"It will satisfy our feeling of responsibility if only by the grace of God we have achieved the, to us, so important aim—to forewarn, and yet did not arouse in the heart of any one person a feeling of animosity towards the until now blind Jewish people, the masses of whom, keenly believing though in a lie, are not guilty of the satanic sin of their leaders—the scribes and Pharisees, who have once already ruined Israel."

In 1917 Professor Nilus, at the time of the Bolshevik descent on Russia, produced a second edition of his pamphlet bearing the title "It is Here at Our Doors!"  Of the subsequent history of Professor Nilus the writer is unaware.

Apart altogether from any question of their origin, it is a very extraordinary thing that documents setting out such a programme as is outlined in the Protocols should have been published as far back as 1905.

Taking the points seriatim, what do we find ?

It is an unquestionable fact that German-Jews have been active in disseminating "disintegrating political ideas." Marx, the founder of modern Socialism, was one such, and many others have been prominent as the leaders of revolutions in Europe.

The Bolshevik Government in Russia has shown an undying hatred of the Christian religion, and the news-papers have lately testified to governmental efforts there to suppress all celebration of the Christian festival of Christmas.  [While this chapter is in the printer’s hands a news message in the daily papers has recorded the publication in Germany of a derogatory life of Christ by a German-Jew.]

In the Panama and Marconi scandals in France and England the world was provided with instances of the activities of Jewish agents.  In the United States the memoirs of a late British Ambassador testify to the formidable power the German-Jews have exerted on Congress.  We have seen how the representatives of the people were cajoled into accepting the Federal Reserve System by representations that it would ensure industrial stability, whereas it has not been used for any such purpose.  Any number of examples can also be found of politicians "unconsciously furthering" the advent of this financial dominion.

The Press in Britain and America is largely under Jewish domination, as are the stage, the movies, and the stock exchange.  Much matter demoralising to the voting is, without question, unnecessarily imported into moving picture dramas.

We have seen how the present "universal economic crisis" has been created by "underhand means" and "with the help of gold."

The landed interest everywhere has been much weakened by the economic conditions which have existed in recent years.  It is impossible for the Money Power to enslave people living on the land under free conditions.  Farmers to he caught in the toils must be bound up in the chains of mortgage debt and credit systems.  We have seen what farmers of America think of the Federal Reserve Board.

In Mr. Ludwell Denny’s book the passage quoted in an earlier chapter records how big business in the United States makes use of violence and intimidation to rule its employees, and it cannot be said that the German-Jewish trust control has shown any averseness to these methods, even though it may not have originated them.

Although heralded as the rule of the proletariat, there has been nothing of a democratic nature in Bolshevik rule in Russia.  "Freedom and liberties allowed by the Gentiles" appear to be conspicuously absent, and the "political life of our subjects" does undoubtedly appear to be "regulated as though they were so many parts of a machine."  The papers of late have recorded the horrors of the Russian timber camps in which hundreds of thousands of persons are stated to be herded in virtual slavery and starvation.  By this means are the present rulers of Russia building up a timber export trade.

The requirements of the Protocols that "besides ourselves, there should be in all countries nothing but a huge proletariat" is being steadily achieved by a succession of economic crises in each of which additional classes of small capitalists are destroyed and thrown into the proletariat, while those that survive are drawn more and more into the toils of the Money Power, becoming merely its creatures and totally under subjection.

In the Russian Revolution Jewish leaders did assuredly provide Europe with a demonstration of their power by means of "crime and violence, that is to say, a reign of terror."

As for the requirement that the public mind should be distracted by "senseless phraseology," is there any subject on which more senseless phraseology is written than the subject of money and the gold standard in particular ?  Did not the people of the United States lose their power of reasoning when in face of the Pujo Report they immediately handed over control of the money of their country to the very men who had been denounced as constituting the Money Trust ?

We have thus reached the position (1) that the London Times has certified that the British Museum records provide indubitable evidence that the Protocols were published in 1905;  (2) that events set out in the Protocols as part of a future programme have transpired;  (3) that Jews have been prominently associated with these events;  and (4) that the Protocols supply a perfect explanation of phenomena, so that what otherwise seems a haphazard jumble of unrelated occurrences is found to fit together like the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle, each revealing itself as part of an ordered plan.

Uncanny as it is to find this fulfilment of the Protocols, we must not jump to conclusions.  Because some person says that a certain thing will come to pass, or even urges that steps be taken to cause it to come to pass, it is no proof on the event transpiring that the prophet or advocate was necessarily the agent who brought it to pass.

A man may tell us that there will be an eclipse of the moon at a certain moment in ten years’ time, but on the eclipse occurring we cannot hold him responsible for it.  A clairvoyant, or person with a gift of prophecy, may foretell a future event without in any way being its cause.

Before we can assert that German-Jews, or any section of them, are engaged in a conspiracy, we must have actual positive evidence of their participation.  In any case a conspiracy to rule the world by owning it would not be an illegal conspiracy.  There is really nothing to stop a small group of men from owning the earth so that the rest of us arriving on this planet are here on sufferance.  The whole trend of modern commerce and credit is first to inveigle people into debt, and by a manipulation of money to increase the burden of that debt so that these individuals are stripped of all they possess.  In this way a continuous concentration of wealth is taking place, and even though it could be proved that the whole system was designed by German-Jews and was concentrating wealth and ownership in their hands, there would not necessarily be anything unlawful in such combination and action.  Many highly respectable Christians are just as active in this.

We have next to recognise that the origin of the Protocols is shrouded in mystery.  The statement of Professor Nilus as to how the document came into his possession has been given above.  In the second edition of his pamphlet he gave a slightly different explanation.  In the first statement the matter was stolen by a woman from an influential Jewish Freemason.  In the second statement it appeared the matter was abstracted from a safe.  Both statements would be substantially accurate if a woman had taken from a safe a document belonging to an influential Jewish Freemason.

The British Jews’ Association thought the publication of sufficient importance to warrant notice by them.  In its issue of June 2. 1920, the London Times published the text of a lengthy resolution by this association.  After pointing out that the author of the pamphlet had received it "through a friend now deceased," and of the variations in his accounts of its original acquisition, it was stated:

"In view of the suspicious character of the statement, and of the further avowal of the author that he is unable to produce evidence of the genuineness of his documents, the committee resolved that it is unnecessary for the Jewish community to take any action."

On June 12, 1920.  Mr. Lucien Wolf, the well-known Jewish journalist, and the author of the article on "Anti-Semitism" in the new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, contributed a lengthy letter to the Spectator pointing out that the bogy of a Jewish secret society was at least three centuries old.

Mr. Wolf declared that after the existence of the Illuminati, a Bavarian Masonic organisation with a revolutionary plan, had become known at the end of the eighteenth century it was promptly annexed by a succession of scare-mongers and writers of sensational books.  After giving a list of these writers, Mr. Wolf declared that the Protocols from an examination of their text were pretty obviously a plagiarism from a novel Gaeta Duppel Warsaw, published by Hermann Goedsche in 1868, Goedsche being, Mr. Wolf stated, an ex-official of the Prussian postal service dismissed for forgery.

In his novel Goedsche describes, we are told, an assembly of the Elect of Israel held once in every century at which is expounded the plan of Simeon, handed down from from generation to generation, by which the Jews may secure their domination over all the nations of the earth.  The Jews are to work with gold and the Press for the subversion of Monarchy and Christianity.  They are to act as a universal disturbing and demoralising instrument, and in particular they are to seduce and stir up the proletariat to political revolution, so that eventually they may establish a universal Jewish Monarchy on the ruins of Christian society.

As noted in the chapter on Russia, Mr. Wolf in his letter asserted that the Nilus pamphlet was produced in Russia in 1905 as part of the propaganda against the Jews, who were blamed for the revolution of that year, and was in particular used by the Russian Foreign Minister, Count Lamsdorff, in connection with a secret memorandum which the Tsar submitted to the Kaiser urging joint action by Russia and Germany against Jewish and Masonic peril.  Such peril we are assured by Mr. Wolf is a pure myth.  Nevertheless we shall look in vain to find on the thrones of Russia and Germany the two illustrious personages who in 1905 put their heads together to combat a supposed Jewish peril.

So far Mr. Wolf.  On August 16, 1921, the London Times published in a most prominent position, in the outside column of its leader page, a long message from its Constantinople correspondent headed "Jewish World Plot: An Exposure."  In this was set out how a mysterious Mr. X had bought a second-hand book, Dialogue in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, written by M. Maurice Joly and published in Brussels in 1865.  It was a political squib directed against the Emperor Napoleon III.  Parallel column extracts showed many passages almost identical with the Protocols.  There was some evidence that this particular copy of the book had been in the possession of the Russian secret police.

The Times correspondent incidentally mentioned that Professor Nilus in his second edition of 1917 had stated that he had received the Protocols from Alexis Nicolaevich Sukholin, a noble afterwards Governor of Stavropol.  In this edition it was also alleged that the Protocols were notes of a plan submitted by Theodor Hertzl to the first Zionist Congress Council of Elders held at Basle, in Switzerland, in 1897.

It will thus be seen that two totally different sources were supplied with equal satisfaction as being the origin of the Protocols.

An equally feasible explanation would be that the matter in the Protocols and in the two hooks, the Goedsche novel and the Dialogues in Hell, had been derived from some common source.  It is just as credible that the authors of these hooks should have come independently upon knowledge of the plan of a conspiracy, and that one should have dressed this matter up in the form of a dialogue to discredit the Emperor Napoleon by representing him as possessing such ideas;  that another should have incorporated it in a work of fiction;  while the third writer makes a straight-out exposure.  This explanation fits the facts just as well as an explanation that the Protocols began merely as a fanciful invention in a novel, and were stolen and dressed up in Russia to injure the Jews.  The deadly accuracy of the Protocols puts the fiction-plagiarism theory at a heavy discount.  It may be noted that according to correspondence in the Spectator a Jewish banker financed the publication of M. Joly’s Dialogue.

The existence of the Society of the Illuminati in Bavaria is a historically established fact, and it is equally well established that in carrying out its programme its motto was in effect "Evil be thou my good."  The Illuminati were founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776.  In 1784 the Elector of Bavaria discovered the existence of this secret society in consequence of one of its emmissaries with incriminating papers on him being struck dead by lightning while on a journey.  This led to searches and further discoveries, and the suppression in Bavaria of the Illuminati and the flight of its leaders elsewhere.

The basic plan of the Illuminati was by means of initiation in many degrees—the initiate on admission to each new degree having a shade more of the real secret disclosed to him—to band a great body of men together for the execution of purposes which were known only to the concealed superiors of the order, quite false information being given to the initiates of lower degree as to the Society’s objects.

Weishaupt said:

"It is absolutely necessary that I should remain during my life unknown to the greater part of the adepts themselves.  When the object is a Universal Revolution, all the members of our Societies, aiming at the same point and aiding each other, must find means of governing invisibly and without any appearance of violent measures, not only the higher and more distinguished class of any particular state, but men of all stations, of all nations, and of every religion; must insinuate the same spirit everywhere in silence, but with the greatest activity possible; direct the scattered inhabitants of the earth towards the same point.  That is what we call the force of Secret Societies.

"The empire once established by means of union and with a multitude of adepts, let force succeed the invisible power, tie the hands of those who resist, subdue and stifle wickedness in the germ."

His aim Weishaupt declared to be "to overthrow every religion, every government, and all property whatsoever."  On the ruins patriarchal rule was to be erected.

The Marquis de Mirabeau, at the time French Ambassador at Berlin, is stated by various historians to have joined the Illuminati while in Germany.  The society was tacked on to Freemasonry by the creation of additional degrees in existing Masonic societies, so that even the very organisations to which the Illuminati belonged were ostensibly set up for some quite different purpose.  Mirabeau on his return to Paris helped the illuminati to gain a footing there, and worked with the Duke of Orleans, Grand Master of the French Freemasons, in his plot for overturning the French throne and getting himself elected first Lieutenant-General and then sovereign of France.  As a prelude to the revolution came the diabolically clever plot of the Diamond Necklace to discredit the King and Queen.  Cagliostro, the charlatan mixed up in this is stated by his biographers to have been a member of the Illuminatt.

It is further established that the Duke of Orleans was in communication with the mysterious Jacob Falk, then living with the Goldsmids in London, and believed by some to have been the chief of all the Jews.  Falk’s picture with Masonic emblems appears in the Jewish Encyclopaedia.

Of Freemasonry the Jewish Encyclopaedia says:  "The technical language, symbolism, and rites of Freemasonry are full of Jewish ideas and terms ... but this may have been derived without any Jewish intermediation, from commentaries on the Old Testament. ... Jews have been most conspicuous in their connection with Freemasonry in France since the Revolution.  One of the branches of the craft, the Supreme Council of the Orient, had Adolphe Cremieux as its S.G.G. (Sovereign Grand Councillor) from 1868 to 1886."

Speaking in the House of Commons on July 14, 1836, Disraeli, himself a Jew, said:

"There is in Italy a power which we seldom see mentioned in this House. ... I mean the secret societies. ... It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe—the whole of Italy, France, and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries-is covered with a network of these secret societies just as the superficies of the earth are now being covered with railroads.  And what are their objects ?  They do not attempt to conceal them.  They do not want constitutional government; they do not want ameliorated institutions.  They want to change the tenure of land, to drive out the present owners of the soil, and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments.  Some of them may go further."

Said Disraeli also:  The world is governed by very different persons from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

There is undoubtedly a very old school of political thought based on the principle of Machiavelli that the end justifies the means, and some writers hold that there has been a continuous development for centuries of a body of doctrine for secretly controlling human beings by trading on their frailties, by their fear, by their greed, by their lusts.  The order of the Knight Templars founded for the protection of the Holy Places in Palestine, became corrupted, it is said, through alliance with the Assassins who terrorised the East, and whom the Templars were originally intended to fight.  By the beginning of the fourteenth century the Order had become so corrupt that it was suppressed and the Grand Master and many of the knights burnt at the stake by order of the Pope.  From some of the Templars who escaped to Scotland is said to have come the Ancient Scottish Rite on which was built up the political Grand Orient Freemasonry of the Continent of Europe.  The whole subject, however, is exceedingly obscure, and so far as the writer can gather the available evidence is meagre, and the conclusions reached on one side and the other are based mainly on the conjectures of the various writers as to the probabilities of the case.

In passing, it may be noted that Simeon referred to in Goedsche’s novel as the author of the Protocols, was Simeon Ben Yohai, who lived in the second century and was a leader of the Jews in their resistance to Roman rule under the Emperor Hadrian.  Simeon is the traditional author of the Zohar, in which is incorporated the most mystical part of the Jewish religion, including the Cabala, teaching of the interpretation of the alleged mystic sense of the words of Scripture.  It was from the Zohar that Madame Blavatsky seems really to have derived the inspiration on which the cult of Theosophy is based.

It will be seen that the further one goes into this side of things the deeper grow the waters.  There is an immense body of matter on which suspicion may be based, but there is little or nothing susceptible of proof.  In his book dealing with the Illuminati, published in 1797, the Abbe Barruel said:

"You thought the revolution ended in France, and the revolution in France was only the first attempt of the Jacobins.  In the desires of a terrible and formidable sect you have only reached the first stage of the plans it has formed for that general revolution which is to overthrow all thrones, all altars, annihilate all property, efface all law, and end by dissolving all society."

Coming to more recent date, we have noted a reputable writer, Mr. Walter Russell Batsell, in a book on Soviet Rule in Russia, published in 1929 by Messrs. Macmillan, one of the foremost British publishing houses, setting down the following opinion:

"History will be likely to give prominence to plans for the destruction of Russia formulated at the Masonic Congress held at Brussels a few years before the world war. ...

Of the significance of the Protocols we have the views of a distinguished Englishman, Lord Sydenham, who has twice filled the office of Governor in important parts of the Empire, and who wrote as follows in a letter to the Spectator in 1921:

"Nothing that was written in 1865 can have any hearing on the deadly accuracy- of the Protocols, most of which have since been fulfilled to the letter."

No person can be adjudged a party to a conspiracy without definite proof, and however perfect an explanation of world phenomena may be provided by the theory of such a conspiracy, we have no proof whatsoever of any individual being a party to it.  Even if one took the view that a great part of the Empire’s public men have been conforming to and furthering the programme set out in the Protocols, the same may be said of innumerable private individuals in the conduct of their affairs.  Yet the whole of these may well have been entirely unconscious agents with no awareness of the cumulative effect of their actions.  What they did may have been merely in conformity to pressure from above.  It was made easy for them to act in a certain way, and they acted in that way.  It is easy for us to borrow money, and we borrow.  If the modern credit system is a trap we have walked readily enough into it.

Even if we assume that there is a prima facie evidence of a world conspiracy it is improbable to the last degree that the leaders of that conspiracy would be persons known and visible to the public.  More probable is the view that the visible figures on the stage are the unconscious agents of a hidden hand.

Some readers may consider that it is utterly unwarrantable to publish such a document as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion in the absence of proof of its authenticity.

To that the reply is that the enormous significance of the protocols is their fulfilment.  Either that fulfilment is mere coincidence, which is incredible: either the revelations were a clairvoyant precognition of events which is possible but improbable;  or else their fulfilment is the result of action and policy deliberately pursued.

There is no other possibility.  And if we reject the incredibility of coincidence, and likewise refuse belief in the diabolical malevolence of a plot, with what alternative are we faced ?  The only remaining belief for us is that the Protocols were accurate as a clairvoyant or prophetic vision of events, but are inaccurate in their prevision of the motive inspiring those events.  And this seems the least credible solution of all.

Any book on philosophy will tell us that absolute truth is unknowable by human beings.  Truth, for us, is merely the explanation that most completely fits the known facts.  If the Protocols supply an explanation which fits the facts, is it not sheer folly to dismiss them as insignificant ?  Would not the writer in putting together this book to make his fellow-countrymen aware of the nature of the influences by which they are surrounded—would not he have failed in his full duty if knowing of the Protocols he had suppressed mention of them ?

Such a conspiracy, if it exists, would appear to have its origin in Germany, and it would not seem that even there any more than a small section of the Jews need be parties to it.

Our concern is not with Jews as Jews, but with conspirators as conspirators, whether they be Jews, Christians, Mahomedans, or anything else.  Our business is to discover the facts and to put ourselves in a position of security.  If hatred has sprung from hatred, matters will not be mended by sowing further hatred.  Nor will they be mended by closing our eyes and leaving policies conceived in hatred to run to some tremendous cataclysm.  Furthermore, we must not forget that prominent in exposing and resisting the monopolistic and dangerous activities to which attention has been directed in these pages have been many public-spirited Jews themselves.  If there is conspiracy, the conspirators are as regardless of Jew as of Christian, for in order to gratify their ambition they imperil their race.  The frustration of any such design of world enslavement is thus the common interest of Jew and Christian alike.
