Comprises 3 articles by the Constantinople correspondent of the Times, Philip P. Graves (1876-1953, half-brother of Robert Graves), Aug. 16-18, and a leading article from the Times of Aug. 18. Graves, the (here anonymous) Times correspondent at Constantinople, had obtained – from a Russian emigré, through the mediation of the future CIA supremo Allen Dulles – a copy of Maurice Joly’s Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu, exhibiting unmistakable parallels with the Protocols, whose authenticity The Times now demolished – concluding (Preface, p. 3), that their correspondent ‘presents for the first time conclusive proof that the document is in the main a clumsy plagiarism’, and (p. 23), that ‘there can be no doubt that the forgery was perpetrated by some member of the Russian Secret Police.’</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4173308" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
