THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE
EXPOSE OF THE PROTOCOL
FORGERY BY THE LONDON
TIMES,
The Spectator

The COnstantinoplc correspondent of
the Times has unearIhed the literary
source of the notorious Protocols of
by Il Russian official. Sergei Nilus. in
1905 as the secret program of n band
of Jewish conspirator:s seeking to over
throw civilization. The pamphlet,
which we discussed at length on IFS
republication here last year. proves to
be in the main free adaptation of Il
French pamphlet of 1865 attacking , G
Second Empire. This work, Dialogue
aux Enters entire Machiavel ct MOntes-
quieu, was published anonymously Rt
Brussels: but the author, Maurice
Jolly. Partisan lawyer. was traced
and sent to gaol The Times cor
respondent has shown by many quo
tations thar the larger part of Nilus'
book is a shameless plagiarism of the
French original The Protocols, there
fore, are not what they profess to be.
Machiavelli's imaginary play for
Strengthening Napoleon Ills despOt-
ism has been transformed. by Nilus
or another, into plan for setting up
Il Jewish world-despodsm, which. as
we said at the time, is "a piece of
malignant lunacy."
The Birmingham Gazette.
Elders of Zion."- Everybody is
laughing over the exposure of the great
Protocols of the Elders of Sion"
hoax by the Times The flesh of
the aristrocracy has been made to-
creep by the revelations in the Morn
ing POST of the Jewish Peril" and
now it turns out that the whole thing
is merely reproduction of COM
position of Frenchman, who took
this means of attacking Napoleon ILL.,,
and went to prison for his trouble.
There is legitimate grievance against
Sergio Nilus. the Russian Government
official. who first published the book
in 1905 as his own account of the
Jewish plot, of which particulars had
been communicated to him, but 1t will
be difficult to infiict punishment on
on him. Meantime we may be great
full for the comic; relief"

1.-THE Jewish Peril the English
translation of the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion,' by Sergei Nilus, has
become weapon in all political con;
trovcrsy which concerns itself with
The Jews. It is part of the regular
armoury of the Morning Post, and Is
iiourishcd almost daily. Now cor
respondent of the Times has discover
ed that the book is no more than % ,
rlaiarism of an obscure pamphleL
written by a Frenchman in 1863. and
aimed at Napoleon III. Te volume is.
in short. a literary hoax which has
gone undetected for n remarkably
long tme. And never again will the
Mornin Post he able family to clinch
the argment with an opponent by hur'
ing at him quotation from the Pro
iocol>.
The Truth.
The Protocols Forgery sad
blow has befallen all who are engaged
in the propagation of the great myth
of n worldwide Jewish conspiracy for
rhc overthrow of Gentle civilization.
The Times has proved beyond
shadow of doubt that the so-called
"Protocols of the Learned Elders of ,
Zion" ara Il forgery based on clumsy
pIagiariSms of book written by al
French lawyer in 1868 as veiled
attack on the despOtism of Napoleon
III. The forgery was perpetrated b!
the Russian Secret Police so long aS,
as 1908. and even since the Russian
Revolution of 1917 the fictitious Pro
tocols have been used everywhere as
evidence that mysterious and pow
erful Jewish organization is respon
sible for all sorts of political and in
tustrial troubles. To the Morning
Post the exposure must be particular
ly embarrassing. However, tho this
document has TO be dropped, do not
supposc that the weird theory of the
Hidden Hand of the Hebrew in every
thing that goes wrong will he given
up.
