forces are behind the anti-Jewish propaganda that is
international in scope and that seeks at this time to spread all over
the world the poison of prejudice and hatred against the Jews, reviving
long-exploded mediaeval legends?

Many Americans have asked these questions ever since the publication of
"The Cause of the World Unrest," "The Protocols and World Revolution,"
"The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion," and the anti-Jewish articles in
Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent.

In 1919 a translation of extracts from what purports to be a book by one
Sergius Nilus was published in Germany. During 1920 a translation was
published in England under the name of "The Jewish Peril," and under
various titles, in different versions, it was reproduced in the United
States, France, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and even Japan. The Japanese
edition is in the Russian language. In all these books "the Russian
mystic," Sergius Nilus, is given as the sponsor of a number of secret
"documents" by which it is intended to show that the Jews are
responsible for all the ills that have already befallen the world and
that are still to come.

The method is simple. Was there a revolution in Russia? Blame the Jews.
Was there a revolution in Germany? Blame the Jews. Who made the French
Revolution? The Jews. Who caused the World War? The Jews. Who profited
by the war? The Jews. Is there anywhere an industrial crisis? The Jews
are, of course, the cause of it. Has the World War brought forth
Bolshevism? The Jews are naturally the fathers of it. First the Jews
engineered the war, and then they pulled the strings behind the scenes
of the Peace Conference. They secured special privileges at the Peace
Table, because, according to the Protocols, they control the gold of the
world, the press of the world, the rulers of the world. And if, as a
result of the World War, millions of Jews have suffered untold agonies,
persecution, starvation, and pogroms, it is no doubt only part of their
deep-laid plot to gain control of the world for Zion through poverty and
suffering!

Are governments just to the Jews, giving them equal rights? Then it is
obvious that Jews are either at the head of such governments or are
hidden behind the present rulers. If the Jews cannot exert sufficient
influence over the rulers themselves, there are Jewesses in high places,
through whom the cause of Zion is served--and all this is done by the
Jews with but one aim in view--to dominate the
