An Introduction to the "Jewish Protocols" 55

the harmless liberties of the people. A steady tendency towards

systematization, every phase of the tendency based upon some very

learnedly stated "principle," has set in, and curiously enough, when the

investigator pursues his way to the authoritative center of these

movements for d1e regulation of the people's life, he finds Jews in power!

SPLITTING SOCIETY BY "IDEAS"

The method by which the Protocols work for the breakdown of society

is evident. An understanding of the method is necessary if one is to

find the meaning of the currents and cross-currents which make so

value of the voices and the meaning of the theories if they understand that

their confusion and discouragement comprise the very objective which is

sought. The uncertainty, hesitation, haplessness, fear: the eagerness with

which every promising plan and offered solution is grasped-these are the

very reactions which the program. .outlined in the Protocols aims to

taken time, indeed centuries. Students of the matrer find the identical

program of the Protocols, announced and operated by the Jewish race,

Peace Conference,* to fasten Jewish power more securely upon Europe,

was American leverage exercised at the behest of the strong Jewish

pressure which was brought from the United States for that purpose. And
