An exceedingly significant paragraph
q this frnnn The I.ondnn Times:

~
mert. He approached a representative
Of the Rothschflds and was told that
they had no money to lend to Russia
the jews. Because Of this Won Piehve
has issued secret instructions to all
provincial governors enjofning them to
refrain from embarrassing the Jews.
even though they are found outside of
the areas allotted TO them for residence.
The course of the Russian govern
ment and the Russian people towards
the Jews has been one of suppression.
and diabolical oppression.
No other modern nation. claiming to be
Christian. has been so brutality iYitoler-
ant as Russia has been towards these
people. Modern history no where re-
cords such religious persecution and
cruelty. They are robbed. imprisoned
and murdered. IL not with the conni-
vance Of the government, at least with
out Its interference. Pagan Turkey.
heather China and even savage Africa
are not more cruel than Christian Rus
STA.
But now there seems a chance for the
prosecuted Jews to obtain revenge
without resorting to bloody retaliation,
and in a manner that must prove effec-
tive. When the prosecuted children Of
Israel were about departing from Egypt
they borrowed of the Egyptians jew
els of silver. and Jewels of gold. and
raiment," as the Bible informs us, and
carried the spells with them. This
was their method of obtaining some
compensation for the sufferings they
had endured and of taking bIoodless
revenge on their oppressors. While
modern ideas might not condone the
act there was kind of poetic justice in
thus taking pay for years of unreauited
labor.
But there can be no question Of the
honesty and fairness of the kind of re-
.venge and. retaliation indicated in the
quotation from The Times, nor any
doubt as to its efficacy. Modern wars
are largely fought with money How
ever lily paid and fed the Russian SOL
diers may be 1t requires millions of
dollars to supply ships, arms, provis-
fons and munitions of war for great
armies. Wringing money from the
people by oppressive taxes and heart
less exactions must have its limit. The
common people have little to be robbed
of and the mobiles are too powerful to
be plundered with impunity. Money
must come from the outside or war
must cease.
The Jews are largely the bankers of
Europe. For ages the immense bank
ing houses of the Rothschilds and their
associates have virtually held the
strings OF almost all European
nations. 1t was the money of the
Rothschild family that made success
full the combination against Napoleon
almost century ago and enabled the
allied powers to crush the mighty
Frenchman. The firm has at one time
or another acted in the capacity of
financial agent of nearly every civil
ICED government of the world. Their
wealth is practically unlimited and
their financial influence corresponding
ly great. They are the money masters
of Europe.
If these coi1ossally rich Jewish bank
ers resolve to take revenge for the op-
preston of their countrymen by with
holding their money from the oppres-
sors who can blame them? and who
can doubt their success? There are
two methods open to them, and it is
not known which they will adopt, or
whether they will combine the two By
absolutely refusing to loan money to
Russia, and by influencing those who
will act in concert with them, thay
have 1t in their power to crush that
government utterly. This may seem
an extravagant assertion. but the
RothschiId firm, in combination with
those who act with them. can make it
impossible for Russia to obtain money
TO carry on her wars and to maintain
her government. In short, without
money Russia is ruined and without
the Rothschild influence the money
cannot be obtained. That is the way
we sec the situation.
The other course open to these money
kings is to withhold their assistance
until they obtain from the Russian
government such concessions and
pledges as will ensure safety and pro-
lection for their countrymen through
out the Russian dominions. 1t is be-
lieved that the Gear and his advisers
finding themselves helpless and power
less, will concede all just and reason
able demands that may be made, and
that by so doing the government can
get all the money needed. but what
will such concessions and pledges be
worth? There is hardly a more unre-
liable nation on earth. Government
and people are as treacherous as they
are cruel. The government might en-
ter into the most solemn compact, and
might so modify its laws and reguIa-
tions as to give the Jews all the civil
and political rights enjoyed by any
other people. and then. after their
financial troubles are over. sweep aside
all obligations and be as mean and
cruel as they have ever been. They
are not to be trusted, but the Roths-
child combination may find some way
to bind them. All friends of humanity
and all lovers of justice must join in
the wish that the oppression of the
Jews will end for all time to come.
