circulated in Russia a number of years prior). The above point continues:

"That the true situation shall not be noticed by the Gentiles

prematurely, we will mask it by a pretended effort to serve the

working classes and promote g~eat economic principles, for which

an active propaganda will be carried on through our economic

theories."

These quotations will illustrate the style of the Protocols in making

references to the parties involved. It is "we" for the writers, and

"Gentiles" for those who are being written about. This is brought out

very clearly in the Fourteenth Protocol:

"In this divergence between the Gentiles and ourselves in' ability to

think and reason it to be seen clearly the seal of our election as the

Chosen People, as higher human beings, in :contrast with the

Gentiles who have merely instinctive and anim'al minds. They

observe, but they do not foresee, and they invent nothing (except

perhaps material things). It is clear from this ~at natur~ herself .

This, of course, has been the Jewish method of dividing humanity .

from the earliest times. The world was only Jew and Gentile; all that was

not Jew was Gentile. The use of the word Jew may be illustrated by this

passage from the Eighth Protocol: - . · .

"For the time being until it will be safe ·to give responsible

govermnent positions to our brother Jews, we shall entrust them to

people whose past and whose characters are such that there is ·a~

and more familiar with the idea of Jewish occupancy-which will be

really a short step from the present degree of influence which the Jews

exercise-of the highest office in the government. There is no function

of the American Presidency in which the Jews have not already secretly

assisted in a very important degree. Actual occupancy of the office is not

necessary to enhance their power, but to promote certain things which

parallel very closely the plans outlined in the Protocols.

Another point which the reader of the Protocols will notice is that

the torie of exhortation is entirely absent from these documents. They are

not propaganda. They are not efforts to stimulate the ambitions or activity

of those to whom they are addressed. They are as cool as a legal paper

and as matter-of-fact as a table of statistics. There is none of the "Let us

rise, my brothers" stuff about them. There is no "Down with the

Gentiles" hysteria. These Protocols, if indeed they were made by Jews

and confined to Jews, or if they do contain principles of a Jewish World

Program, were certainly not intended for the firebrands but for the

carefully prepared and tested initiates of the higher groups.

PROBLEM OF ORIGIN

. I

Jewish apologists have asked, "Is it conceivable that if there were such\

a world program on the part of the Jews, they would reduce it to

writing and publish it?" But there is no evidence that these Protocols

were ever uttered otherwise than in spoken words by those who put them

forth. The Protocols as we have them are apparently the notes of lectures

which were made by someone who heard them. Some of them are

lengthy; some of them are brief. The assertion which has always been

made in connection with the Protocols since they have become knowrr is

that they are the notes of lectures delivered to Jewish students somewhere

in France or Switzerland. The attempt to make them appear to be of

Russian origin is absolutely forestalled by the point of view, the

references to the times and certain grammatical indications. The tone

certainly fits the supposition that they were originally lectures given to

students, for their purpose is clearly not to get a program accepted but to

give information concerning a program which is represented as being

already in process of fulfilment. There is no invitation to join forces or

to offer opinions. Indeed it is specifically announced that neither
