23 November 1943 Salò

No, I do not speak against my country. I speak against this century long war against between usury and peasantries farmer, between usury and those who want to do a good job either with their head or with their fists. War between mortgage and homestead.

One should have a better understanding of this. Even in this year, here in Italy, 80 per cent of the Italians do not know why there is a war.

Until the liberation of Mussolini, the big newspapers were in the hands of plutocrats.

Many people think the war was a whim of Hitler and Mussolini.

From the moment Mussolini recognized the collaboration between Moskau and New York Jewery, an international Jewery condemned him. And as soon as Hitler announced publicly Gottfried' Feders' thesis that in the kapitalist system the power to buy lies mainly with those who do not work themselves, the war against him broke out.

Bolshevism ?

Bolshevism is in my mind only a伪善 pseudo-revolution.

Lenin claimed he was fighting kapital, but in reality he fought only against private property.

N.B. This is the only attempt we have been able to fight find of Pound's speaking over the German controlled Radio in Salò
