THE RAPE OF PALESTINE - Notes - Index - 525-617 - Draiman
The ideal situation for a Jewish Palestine would undoubtedly

524 THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
be a permanent alliance with the English people ; but certainly
if the politicians in Whitehall speak the true spirit of Britain,
the Jews have no other recourse than to look elsewhere for allies.
And they may then believe with confidence that their hopes
based on the fall of the British Empire will not be long in fulfill-
ment. For when the policy of a nation no longer depends on
the broad outlines of creative action and degenerates into a mere
olio of petty treachery and scheming, that nation has passed its
heyday — it is decadent, and on the verge of a collapse which
will be as swift as it is unexpected.
Then if the Jews are smart, they will turn to anyone who has
a quarrel with England, and take their chances on the result.
And they will say in effect to the Powers : "No, gentlemen,
unless you wish the foul dreams of the anti-Semites to come true,
and the soul of torn Israel turn in despair to that destroying
agency it has so far manfully resisted (Communism), you had
better curb this destroying British camarilla. They and their
philosophy of intrigue and hate must yield ; for if the people
of Jehovah are to be thus driven to national suicide because flesh
and spirit can suffer no more, let the world take warning that
one of its props of sanity is collapsing. It cannot gloat over
the miseries of this determined, intelligent race, or be indifferent
to its fate. The future of man is indivisible from morality,
decency, fairness and honor. If these virtues in their broad
outline no longer exist, and if the people of the Bible are to be
wantonly wiped out in this Twentieth Century with no more
mercy than if they were rats in a trap, then this civilization must
fall. It is then proven hard and worthless, and the virtues you
pose for it do not exist. By the very nature of things, men
everywhere will instinctively seek a better morality, even if that
attempt ends in death. Gentlemen of the Great Powers, this
is not a Jewish problem alone. It is your problem too !"
Despite the drab cruelty which obscures it today, it may be
deemed certain that the world conscience still exists. If the
Jews take the lead with stern and unbending courage, yielding
nothing that brave despair can hold, that conscience may be
relied on to reassert itself. They have at least no other choice,
'AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?"
unless they are to go down in some general catastrophe which
may well signal the end of civilized man on this planet. Mean-
while they can only fight on, sustained by that undimmed faith
which valiant men have never questioned over the ages. It rings
imperishably in the sad, beautiful words of Bialik :
"Around the last dead slave, maybe tonight
The desert wind and desert beast shall fight. . .
Beyond the howling desert with its sand
There waits beneath the stars the Promised Land."

62 According to Tacitus, such an immense booty was acquired by the vic-
torious Roman soldiery "that gold in Syria was reduced to one half of its
former value." The loot included rich robes, purple and scarlet stuffs, gums,
perfumes and other material such as one would expect from a rich and luxuri-
ous town. — Ibid., History VII : 13.

54 So many Romans were slain in the war, writes Dio Cassius, that Hadrian
"writing to the Senate, would not use the Emperor's wonted opening form of
words, 'I and the army are well.' " Returning to Rome, he was given the great
title of "Imperator" II, and the Senate voted him a monument "For his deliver-
ance of the Empire from a redoubtable enemy." Says De Haas : "The shower
of honors, medals, and titles awarded the officers eloquently attest how precious
was victory, how great the stake involved." History of Palestine, p. 59.
CHAPTER II — "MAY MY RIGHT ARM WITHER. . "
1 These last few stones constitute what is now commonly known as the
Wailing Wall. The plaint which has been recited there continuously through
the ages by forlorn returning exiles cries : "For the palace that lies desolate
we sit in solitude and mourn ; for the Temple that is destroyed we sit in
solitude and mourn ; for the walls that are overthrown we sit in solitude and
mourn. He who sees the cities of Judea in their desolation should say with
the Prophets, 'Thy Holy cities are a wilderness* and rend his garments like a
mourner. He who sees Jerusalem in its sorrow, should say with the Prophets,
'Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation' and again rend his garments." So
the Jewish child was taught from generation to generation to keep the sense of
great loss perpetually alive. R. Joseph Karo, compiler of the Shulchan Aruk, goes
further and decrees that the rent in the garments "must be so thorough that

the heart is laid bare and the torn garments must never be sewed together
again."

14 They believed that the so-called Lost Ten Tribes of Israel had not been
lost at all, and attempted to prove by a host of circumstantial evidence, that a
number of these tribes had found their way to England through Europe.
Among these was the Saxons, whose name they asserted derived from the
Hebrew word Saac which, says the Watchman of Israel, organ of the American
branch of the Anglo-Israelite Association, "is nothing more than Isaac with the
prefix 'i' dropped according to a very common custom of the Israelites to allow
the introduction of an affix, in this case 'on,' rendering it 'son,' meaning the 'Son
of Isaac* " (Issue of December 191 8.) The merchants of Tarshish, identified
by Ezekiel with Israel, they considered to be themselves — that is, that the British
Isles were the actual isles of Tarshish mentioned. The Jews they therefore be-
lieved to be descended from Judah and the English from Israel. The two groups
are distinct, but are due to be merged in accordance with Prophecy. Thus there
will be an eventual composition of interests between the English (Israelites)
and the Jews (descendants of Judah) along the lines of Jeremiah's prediction
that "in those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel and
they shall come together ... to the land that I have given for an inheritance
to their fathers."
Queen Victoria herself, says the Pittsburgh Daily Post of September 10, 1899,
believed "that she was descended from the Psalmist [David] through Zedekiah's
eldest daughter." It is said that Emperor Wilhelm's [of Germany] conviction of
his divine origin is largely due to his grandmother's foible.
530 THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
15 As late as the period just before the War the great orator and divine,
Pastor Russell, had built up an enormous following based on this concept.
16 Lovers of Zion.
17 Theodor Herzl was born in Hungary in i860. The Herzls trace their an-
cestry from the Spanish Jewish family, Halevi, with the great poet Judah Halevi
one of their forebears.

Utterly unimpressed by the slogans of his time, Dr. Herzl had written: "My
happier co-religionists will not believe me till Jew-baiting teaches them the
truth ; for the longer Anti-Semitism lies in abeyance the more fiercely will it
break out. The infiltration of immigrating Jews, attracted to a land by apparent
security, and the ascent in the social scale of rising Jews, combine powerfully to
bring about a revolution. Nothing is plainer than this rational conclusion.*'
20 At still another time the Sublime Porte offered a charter for any part of the
Turkish Empire except Palestine. Indignantly, Herzl wrote : "A charter with-
out Palestine I I immediately refused."

Count Von Bernsdorf declared November 1, 1928 in Berlin that, in fact, the
establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine had been the intention
of the German Government if the War had ended differently.
5 German planes dropped leaflets urging Jews to repudiate the hated Russians.
The following is an example : "To the Jews of Poland : The heroic armies of

Russian Government to retreat. Our flags bring to you rights and freedom ;

8 Says De Haas with some sly humor in reference to this debate : "The Zionist
quest for Palestine, the character of the Zionist demands, and the alliance with
Great Britain and subsequently with all the other Allied and Associated powers,
was perhaps of all war policies the only case in which an 'open covenant' was
'openly arrived at.' " History of Palestine, p. 484.

12 Much has since been made by the British in distorting this innocuous word-
ing ; but it is interesting to note that the language of the Constitution of the
United States (Article I, Section I), providing for the establishment of the
Congress of the United States, employs like language, an able enough precedent
in regard to usage : "AH legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in
a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House
of Representatives" ; and that likewise, Article II, Section I, the source of the
power of the President, uses the following language : "The Executive Power
shall be vested in a President of the United States."

82 This part of the agreement reads : "Immediately following the completion
of the deliberations of the Peace Conference, the definite boundaries between
the Arab State and Palestine shall be determined by a Commission to be agreed
upon by the parties hereto."
83 The text of this agreement is given in the London Times, June 10, 1936,
in a signed article by Dr. Chaim Weizmann with photostat copy of the original
agreement bearing Feisal's signature. It reads :
NOTES FOR PAGES 78 to 10 i
533
"Racial Kinship"
"His Royal Highness, the Emir Feisal, representing and acting on behalf of
the Arab Kingdom of Hejaz, and Dr. Chaim Weizmann, representing and act-
ing on behalf of the Zionist Organization, mindful of the racial kinship and
ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people, and realizing
that the surest means of working out the consummation of their national as-
pirations is through the closest possible collaboration in the development of
the Arab State and Palestine, and being desirous further of confirming the good
understanding which exists between them, have agreed upon the following
articles [Note : in the interests of brevity some of the articles have been sum-
marized] :
"Article I — The Arab State and Palestine in all their relations and under-
takings shall be controlled by the most cordial good will and understanding,
and to this end Arab and Jewish duly accredited agents shall be established
and maintained in the respective territories."
[Article II provided for the determination of the boundaries between the
Arab State and Palestine.]
"Article III — In the establishment of the Constitution and Administration
of Palestine all such measures shall be adopted as will afford the fullest
guarantee for carrying into effect the British Government's Declaration of
November 2, 19 17.
"Article IV — All necessary measures shall be taken to encourage and stimu-
late immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as
possible to settle Jewish immigrants on land through close settlement and
intensive cultivation of the soil. In taking such measures the Arab peasant
and tenant farmers shall be protected in their rights, and shall be assisted in
forwarding their economic development."
[Articles V and VI provide for full religious freedom and Mohammedan
control of the Moslem Holy Places. In Article VII the Zionist Organization
undertook to assist the Arab State with the advice of its economic experts.
They agreed in Article VIII to act in accord on the matters embraced in the
pact before the Peace Congress so as to present a united or common front
at the Congress. Article IX agrees to submit any dispute to the British
Government's arbitration.]

only undesirable at the present time, but that it would be an outright cruelty"
because it [the country] is infected with malaria and other diseases, and because
"it must be built on a firm foundation if sweatshops and other undesirable
European concommitants of industry are to be avoided." The millions of

3 The Commission consisted of Dr. Isaiah Bowman and Dr. S. E. Mazes for
national questions ; Dr. R. B. Dixon, for ethnographic questions ; Dr. James
T. Shotwell, for historical questions ; Prof. Mark Jefferson for geographical
questions ; Dr. A. A. Young for economic questions ; Georges Louis Beer for
colonial questions ; David Hunter Miller and James Brown Scott as legal ex-
perts, and a number of other well known authorities. Their report was sub-
mitted to President Wilson and the rest of the American delegation on
January 21, 1919, and read : "It is recommended (1) that there be established
a separate State of Palestine. (2) That this State be placed under Great Britain
as a Mandatory of the League of Nations. (3) That the Jews be invited to
return to Palestine and settle there, being assured by the Conference of all
proper assistance in so doing . . . and being further assured that it will be the
policy of the League of Nations to recognize Palestine as a Jewish State as
soon as it is a Jewish State in fact. . . " The recommendation avers : "It is
right that Palestine should become a Jewish State. . . It was the cradle and
home of their vital race . . . and it is the only land in which they can find
a home of their own ; they being in this last respect unique among significant
peoples."

44 Samuel was to be heard from again. When early in 1936 Mr. MacDonald
resigned as head of the Refugee Committee, thus pointedly calling attention
to the wretched situation of Jewish refugees, the British Government was in
an impasse. At that moment it was indignantly asking the world to participate
in sanctions against Italy as a treaty-breaking nation. It was at that moment
that the Jews could have pointed to English hyprocrisy in reference to Palestine.
To safeguard itself from this possibility, Samuel was sent over to the United
States with a vast scheme for settling refugees and for raising money. America
was assured that if Jews would raise $15,000,000, hundreds of thousands of
sufferers in Europe could be transported to Palestine and settled there. Yet at
the moment that Samuel, and his colleague Weizmann, were asking for these
tremendous sums, they must have known that at least 75,000 German Jews, as
well as innumerable sufferers in East Europe, who were being hounded over all
the borders of the Old World, would have gladly gone to Palestine and could
have done so on their own resources if the British would have let them in.
Under Mr. Samuel's capable counter-attraction the critical point was soon over
for England : no one raised the question as to why Britain had shut the doors of
their homeland to these Jews.
46 These loans are practically a gift. No one ever expects them to be repaid.
CHAPTER IX — THE WHITE PAPER BARRAGE
1 For typical example see manifesto published in the entire Arab press of
June 30, 1928.
Following the Communist line religiously, even the New York Communist
paper Freiheit (Yiddish-language) asserted that "the war of the Jews against the
Arabs was and is unjust. The war of the Arab masses against the Jewish invaders
is just. The war of the Jews against the Arabs is a part of imperialist exploita-
tion. The war of the Arabs against the Jews is, despite its religious snell, a
part of the world struggle of the subjected masses." (Issue of September 6,
1929.) The American Communists went so far as to establish their own fund
called "Workers International Relief," which in its proclamation asking for
support, published in The Daily Worker of September 13, 1929, characterized
Zionist defense groups as "Zionist gunmen." The West European Bureau of
the Executive Committee of the Communist International issued a wide-spread
NOTES FOR PAGES 124 to 138
537
circular stating that "it is the duty of all our Parties to fight against Jewish
immigration into Palestine" With Machiavellian amorality it advises that "one
must remember that the Communists are not instigating Marxian scholars.
Phrases like 'class-struggle' mean very little to the illiterate fellah, the Arab
peasant, but he does understand phrases like 'Zionists have succeeded in seizing
the largest part of your community land' or words such as l Don y t stop the strike
unless they disarm the Jews and arm the Arabs' "

3 A man of many affectations, linguist and litterateur, Luke's original name
appears to have been Harry Charles Joseph Lukach — at least, such was the
name used in the book he wrote while stationed in Sierra Leone, Fringe of the
East (London, 191 3). In 1927 he managed to write Prophets, Priests and
Patriarchs, Sketches of the Sects of Palestine, in which he did not find it neces-
sary to mention the Jews at all. Together with Keith-Roach, fellow anti-
Zionist official, he wrote Handbook of Palestine in which the word 'Jew' was
only mentioned when it became plainly impossible to leave it out, and in
which Jewish accomplishments were again totally ignored.
4 In later years Storrs resented keenly any inference that he was anti- Jewish.
He was afterwards elevated to the governorship of Cyprus, where his advent
coincided identically with the issuance of anti- Jewish rulings there. During his
term a wild anti-British outbreak convulsed the island, the enraged Cypriots
burning Storrs' personal library.

In sickening detail this communication outlines the whole shocking train of
events, accusing the Government of having taken steps which led the Moslems
538
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
to conclude that it supported their movement. It reads on : "During the first
days of the riots, the Jewish community, which suffered a general attack, was
deprived of all Government defense. . . In many cases the police were pas-
sive onlookers. . . Not even fines were imposed on those who looted Jewish
arrested nor tried any of the principal agitators. . . Officers of the Govern-
ment whose responsibility for the events is beyond doubt, have to this day
neither been dismissed from their posts nor committed for trial." Instead of
strengthening the hands of those who were in danger, the Administration "has
prosecuted and is still prosecuting those Jews who defend themselves. It
disarms them, arrests them and commits them for trial as ordinary offenders.
. . . The Government has attempted in its official communications to distort
the truth concerning these events. This distortion of the truth is an inevitable
epilogue to the plan of destruction which was only partially realized, thanks
to the Jewish self-defense"
22 See docket for June 22, 193 1.
In striking contrast was the severity with which the slightest offense offered
against an Englishman was punished. A characteristic incident occurred on
February 4, 1930, when over a hundred Arabs were arrested in a thorough
scouring of the whole vicinity, in connection with the firing of the house of
Mr. Strawberrs, English manager of the Athlet quarries.

24 The Jewish Labor Parties, as always pathetically unaware of the empty
character of Socialist resolutions and promises, actually thought they had won
a great victory. Jarblum exults : "In its heroic struggle Jewish Labor does
not stand alone. The opponents of Labor Zionism, both those of the anti-
Zionist Socialist camp and those of the bourgeois Zionist camp, must reckon
with this fact." {The Socialist International and Zionism, p. 23.)

27 The part played by Hope-Simpson is rather puzzling. Though events
proved him to be obviously an anti-Zionist, he was not an anti-Semite per se,
many of his attitudes apparently being guided by what he conceived to be
Imperial interests. Recently (1938) he has altered much of his attitude and
admits the "most remarkable development of the country [Palestine]," and that
it has been literally "transformed by the energy of the Jewish immigrant."
(Sir J. Hope-Simpson, Refugees, Preliminary Report of a Survey.) In 1938,
also, he has shown a deep interest in the plight of European Jewish refugees
and, though ignoring Palestine as a potential home for these people, has strongly
advocated that the British Government allow large groups of them to find
sanctuary in Britain itself. Sir John, however, remains an anti-Zionist, holding
Jewish nationalism in large measure responsible for the present plight of the
Jew in Europe. "Zionism," he writes, "has given to the anti-Semite a plausible"
though baseless argument against the Jew which "is being used to justify the
process of reducing the Jew to a position of political inferiority" in the various
countries. (Ibid.)
28 Known almost immediately as the Passfield White Paper, due to its spon-
sorship by Lord Passfield.
28a In nearby Cyprus, where standards of living are a great deal higher than
in Palestine, Great Britain and the East estimated (issue of September 1, 1938)
that "about 27 acres of unirrigated land is needed to keep a man and family
of four. . . But less than six acres of irrigated land is enough to keep a family"
property, as though

2fl Not three years afterward, an official report published by the Palestine
Department of Agriculture, showed that excluding State lands, fallow lands,
and the great hill country, there were at that time 10,000,000 dunams actually
under cultivation. (See Palestine Census Report of 1933, including a statistical
summary of Palestine's cultivated area.) In 1935 Dr. Alfred Michaelis esti-
mated a cultivated area of 12,000,000 dunams.
80 The actual wording is : "Control of all irrigable water should remain with
the Government and all surplus water above that on which rights may be
established should be the Government's property."

88 The question was, explained Weizmann at the following Zionist Congress,
whether a compromise should be reached "or whether we should insist on the
clear and simple withdrawal of the Passfield White Paper . . . On such a de-
mand on our part . . . our friends in the House of Commons, at the end of a
debate on Palestine, would have had to press the question of the White Paper
to vote. Such a vote . . . would, I am afraid, have turned the great mass of
the Labour Party against us, and Palestine would have become a party question
at Westminster."
34 The eminent French Senator, Justin Godard, had recommended that the
whole matter be brought up for airing before the International Court of Justice
at the Hague.
30 The expert whom Shiels was referring to was the Colonial Office function-
ary Lewis French, whose later report, considering all of these circumstances, is no
less remarkable than the matters which had already preceded.

BOOK TWO
CHAPTER I — JEWS HAVE A REPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENCE
1 This arrangement caused Rabbi Stephen S. Wise to flatly accuse Weizmann
of handing autocratic authority to "the same men who went to President
Wilson and asked him to take back his word endorsing the Zionist ideal."
la The attitude of these Marxist extremists reached such lengths that it was
embodied in the axiom, "An organized Arab is more important than an un-
organized Jew." In 1927 the Third Congress of the Histadruth adopted a
resolution favoring the establishment of a joint union of Jewish and Arab
workers (Brith Poale Eretz Israel), and began to organize Arab labor unions,
going so far as to publish an Arab newspaper, Itahad el Amal (Workers Unity) .
The Arab Labor Federation, which had thus been instigated into being, as one
of its first acts decided to picket Jewish enterprises and to conduct an anti-
Jewish boycott (October 28, 1934). Pickets from these labor unions forced
Jewish workmen from their jobs. An example taking place early in 1936 is
connected with the erection of Jaffa school buildings by a Jewish contractor
affiliated with the Contracting Department of the Histadruth. Employed on
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
this project were an equal number of Arabs and Jews. The Arab unions picketed
the enterprise, insisting upon one hundred percent Arab labor. A few months
later, the most blood-thirsty of the attackers who signaled the outbreak of the
1936 insurrection, was the Union of Jaffa Arab Stevedores which the Histadruth
had organized.
2 Held in September 1930. Adding a note of grim humor to these destruc-
tive proceedings, a message came to the same Congress from the 'Comrades' of
the British Labour Party, concluding with the sage hope that "the recommenda-
tions of Sir John Simpson will inaugurate an epoch of prosperity in Palestine."

8 Hebrew had degenerated into a stratified medium for religious instruction
and service, intoned invariably in a sing-song fashion. Its use m secular affairs
came to be looked on by the devout as sacrilegious.
The early Zionist immigrants were impressed by the peculiarly soft, even
elegant quality, of the Hebrew spoken by the handful of Sephardic Jews in
Jerusalem. Its lyric flow struck the ears of these psychically thirsty men
like the swift roll of mighty rivers. It still held that commanding quality
which made Renan describe it as "a quiver full of steel arrows, a cable with
strong coils, a trumpet of brass crashing through the air with two or three
sharp notes."

Hebrew is written like shorthand. Much is compressed in a little space.
In this superlative tongue a flow of abstractions and nuances, difficult to cap-
ture in other languages, may be perfectly expressed. It is the almost perfect
medium for poet or philosopher. As a vehicle for sentiment and love-making
it is unsurpassed.
9 Spoken in the ghettos of Eastern Europe, Yiddish is a low German' or
Plattdeutsch tongue written in Hebrew characters and bastardized with some
Hebrew and an infiltration in each country of the local language.

Particularly during the latter part of the Nazi fight to attain power, Eng-
lish influence alone was a factor of strong importance in swaying the aged
Hindenburg, the Rhineland industrialists, desperately seeking foreign relief,
and the Hugenberg nationalists through whose efforts Hitler finally secured
control. When Nazism was desperately weak and on the point of disintegrat-
ing, Sir Henry Deterding, the master of Shell Oil, placed at their disposal
4,000,000 guilders. (The Brown Network, with Introduction by William
Francis Hare, Earl of Listowel, pp. 66-69, 129; Glyn Roberts, The Most
Powerful Man in the World, p. 305.) Deterding secured the aid of prominent
English moneyed men who gave liberally. Among others said to have con-
tributed heavily was the great Vickers munitions firm in England. Hitler's
bid for anti-Communist support in the Western democracies was the cry,
Deutschland kampft fiir Europa ! (Germany fights for Europe.) The com-
mon denominator of all Nazi contentions was a violent anti-Semitism which
accused the Jew of being at the bottom of all troubles.
Such noteworthy figures as the Marquess of Londonderry (see London-
derry's book, Ourselves and Germany) and Lord Mount Temple, used their
influence to assist the Nazi Government. Generous loans were granted to
Germany by British bankers, and, from the Bureaus, pressure was brought to
bear on France to restrain her from interfering with the Nazi program.
With the aid of English permanent officials the first direct breach was made
in the Versailles Treaty. An example is the sweeping provision made in the
Anglo-German Naval Agreement reached in June 1935. General Goering's
report entitled "German Air Force Manual," revealed that Great Britain had
officially placed its seal of approval on Nazi torpedo-carrying seaplanes,
bombers fitted with machine guns, large aircraft carriers, warships fitted with
seaplane catapults and seaplanes for spreading smokescreens. (The Versailles
Treaty absolutely prohibited any German Air Corps.) Today, as a result of
Britain's action, Germany's rebuilt air fleet is the paramount threat to the
peace of Europe.
What England never deigned to do for Republican Germany, she hastened
to perform for the swashbuckling Nazi. Though English Liberals expressed
horror at the Nazi outrages, in the practical business of life England as a
nation has been the best friend Hitler has had. At the very moment the
Jews and Liberals were boycotting Germany, Whitehall sent (during 1937)
54*
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
one of her ace manipulators, Walter Runciman, to America in an attempt to
get a loan of $500,000,000 for Germany, designed to keep the Reich afloat
economically. Accompanying him was Sir Otto Niemeyer, a director of the
Bank of England. In addition to exerting all possible influence on the Amer-
ican Government, the British have been pressing American bankers in favor of
this loan.
The general attitude may be read in Lord Redesdale's exclamation when
Hitler marched in on Austria : "The gratitude of Europe and the gratitude of
the whole world is due at this time, in my opinion, to Hitler ! "
6 George Stewart, The White Armies of Russia, pp. 244-253.
The British hoped in this adventure to secure control of the new Caucasian
republics and thus to get at the rich oil fields of Baku. Its unfortunate result
was the assassination of almost half a million Jews in the Ukraine under the
most horrible conditions. Taking quick advantage of foreign intervention,
the Bolsheviks used this psychological advantage to cement wobbling Russia
behind them.
8 The Protocols were first published in 1905 in Russia, by Prof. Sergei
A. Nilus of Moscow. In the 1917 edition Nilus for the first time linked them
with the August 1897 Basle Zionist Congress of Theodor Herzl. The Protocols
allege to present a detailed account of the secret meetings of the Elders of
Zion. They are presumed to represent the essence of a Jewish attempt to
seize world power by cunningly destroying the foundations of government
everywhere. Like a gigantic, unseen octopus the monstrous depravity of
these Machiavellian schemers is always present. They are responsible for
Marxism, International Capitalism and cataclysms of all kinds. They operate
with inhuman cunning and their chief weapon is the power of gold. Their
hidden terrifying control is seen everywhere ; and their ultimate purpose is to
reduce the gentile world to abject slavery.
Philip Graves demonstrated that the Protocols were a rank forgery of a
work written by the brilliant French-Catholic author, Maurice Joly :
"Dialogues aux Enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu, ou la Politique de
Machiavel au i$me Steele" {Dialogues in Hell between Machiavel and Montes-
quieu, or the policy of Machiavel in the 19th Century), It had been published
in 1865, concealing a polemic against Napoleon III and his alleged plans of
world conquest through guile. All that was done by the plagiarizers who
issued the Protocols was to substitute the Jews in place of Machiavel-
Napoleon. The fraud was shown in the London Times in its issues of Au-
gust 16, 17, and 18, 1 92 1, where it was clearly proven that the Protocols al-
leged to date from 1897, me year of the First Zionist Congress, had been in
print since 1865. The anti-Semites immediately retreated to the position that
the Protocols represented old Jewish ideas and had been written by a circum-
cised Jew named Moses Joel, who passed under the name of Joly.

Treaty with the United States, an agreement which bore the signatures only
of the American and Canadian representatives. This was followed by a num-
ber of other independent treaties between Canada and the United States, and
Canada and European Governments. When Lloyd George, sending a British
detachment to stop the Turks who had just routed a Hellenic Army, appealed
to the Dominions for immediate military cooperation, the Canadian Prime Min-
ister bluntly refused, saying that the Canadian Parliament alone could deter-
mine whether the country should participate in wars in which other nations
or other parts of the British Empire might be involved. The Dominions have
since shown a certain amount of restiveness and a vigorous attitude where their
own self-interests are concerned. This was brought out clearly in 1938, during
the negotiations with Germany over the fate of Czechoslovakia, when South
African, Irish, Canadian and Australian statesmen delivered sharp warnings to
London that their assistance in time of war could not be taken for granted by
Britain.
83 A further sidelight on this subject was revealed by Sir John Chancellor on
March 29, 1938, when he stated that he had discussed this projected incorpora-
tion of Palestine in the British Commonwealth with various authorities, who
had assured him that there was no hope that any nation in Europe would
consent to it.

There have been a number of rebellions against the British in Iraq, and the
country is still essentially anti-English. London's methods of handling this sit-
uation are simple. When the previous Cabinet grew obstreperous in the Fall
of 1936, the British financed the politician, Hukmat Suleiman, who made a mili-
tary putsch and treated his predecessors to the firing squad. Suleiman was an
outspoken Nazi and anti-Semite. Great Britain and the East speaks of "his rec-
ognition that the British were hated in Iraq, and his personal resolve to 'try
again* to convince the Iraqis of British honesty." (Issue of December 10,
1936.)

51 One needs hardly to be reminded that it is not possible to discover in the
history of legislative practice any formula, however short or drastic, which
does not provide for two or more 'obligations.' Even the law proclaiming the
freedom of the subject or citizen, contains a limitative condition — 'provided'
he obeys the law and does not encroach upon other subjects* or citizens' free-
dom, etc. The reservations are obviously appended to prevent abuses, not
for the purpose of nullifying the main object.

The occurrences in Egypt to which Weizmann obviously refers, are of con-
siderable interest. England entered Egypt in 1882. According to the scholarly
Englishman, Francis Adams, she entered on a solemn pledge of temporary occu-
pation, which she was later disloyal to. Just as the Suez Canal pact forbids mili-
tary occupancy, and gives England not a shade of right to legal possession, her
de facto possession argues ill for Palestine. Adams repeats the Khedive's mourn-
ful remark : "But it is impossible. A promise is a promise — the pledged word
of England — it is impossible ! " — Francis William Lauderdale Adams, The New
Egypt.

CHAPTER VI — BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW
1 "And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmakers of the people, and
their officers, saying, 'Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick
as heretofore . . . and the number of the bricks, which they did make here-
tofore, ye shall lay upon them.' . . Then the officers of the children of Israel
came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying 'Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy
servants ? There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say unto us,
make brick : and behold, thy servants are beaten ; but the fault is in thine
own people.' But he said . . . 'There shall no straw be given you, yet shall
ye deliver the number of bricks.' And the officers of the children of Israel
did see that they were in evil case . . . " — Exodus 5:6-19.
2 This may be compared with the agreement of the same Company with Iraq,
under which it pays over to the Iraqian Government a huge sum yearly for its
privileges there. The agreement stipulates that drastic reductions are to be
made in the price of petroleum products sold in Iraq. Iran was also not behind
in demanding its compensation for any benefits given. In the concession signed
at Teheran, April 30, 1933, a low price was fixed on oil sold in that country,
on the score that "cheap oil is of importance for the modernization of agri-
culture and of transport." The Company is moreover required to replace,
progressively, all its foreign employees with Iranians, and to spend £ 10,000 a
year on the education of Iranians in England in all engineering and research
work ; to pay government taxes of £225,500 a year for fifteen years, and £300,-
000 a year for the following fifteen years. An additional royalty basis is provided
for every ton of crude oil extracted.

Asia.

8 The Sachs Mills, opened in November 1933, had been the pride of the grow-

factories it had to give up this unequal struggle, a host of skilled Jewish workers
were thrown out of employment.
9 This transport system is practically valueless to the Jews of Palestine and is
favored by the British for reasons of Imperial policy.
10 For the first nine months of 1937, states Great Britain and the East with
undisguised alarm, Germany outsold England by 20% in Palestine. The figures
are : Germany, £ 1,079,934 ; Great Britain, £909,268. Says this voice of White-
hall pointedly : "The irrationality of the whole procedure [open door policy]
is obvious." — Issue of January 28, 1937.

17 In England, itself, a protected foreign trade is always foremost in the
minds of her leaders. The economist Augur estimates that only 8,000,000 of
Britain's 40,000,000 people could live off the land.
18 In respect to its own economy, Turkey was not so foolish. Rigid govern-
ment supervision brought Turkey's trade balance from a deficit of $47,288,000
in 1929, to a surplus of $10,163,000 in 1933.
19 This treaty was signed December 14, 1936. Its face purpose was the fa-
cetious one of "facilitating trade between Palestine and Iraq." It is in such
obvious contradiction to the actual status of the trade relations between the
two countries, that little comment is required. There is no question but that
this very valuable concession might have been used as a basis for bargaining,
to allow for an expansion of Palestine foreign commerce into central Asia.

in Tel Aviv (September 1938) under a 'temporary* permit from the High
Commissioner (this permission was granted only because the roads to the Lydda
Aerodrome were unsafe due to the presence of Arab bandits) .
84 The existing Turkish track had been laid along a route which removed it
as far as possible from the range of naval gunfire. The British part, built from
the opposite end, was deliberately constructed to be under the protection of
warships. The later joining of these tracks accounts for this twisting indi-
rection, which remained uncorrected.

CHAPTER VII — DUAL OBLIGATION TO TWO PEOPLES
1 Joseph F. Broadhurst, From Vine Street to Jerusalem.
This proposed tax would have forced the largest part of Palestine business
institutions to pay a double income tax. The majority of the large companies
in the Holy Land are subject to British income tax, which at present is at the
rate of 27.5%. Practically all large Palestine organizations are registered in
England, including the Palestine Potash Company, Nesher Cement Works and
the Jewish National Fund (which by decision of the English courts must pay
an income tax the same as any commercial body). The two big electric com-
panies in Palestine, while registered in Palestine, are managed in England and
thus must, according to English law, also pay an English income tax. It is
estimated that, on the basis of 1938 returns, about £ 170,000 is thus paid into the
London Treasury from Palestine.
2 From 19 1 9 to 1928 alone, this amounted to X 809,766.
8 Joseph F. Broadhurst, From Vine Street to Jerusalem^ p. 216.
8ft In addition to such indirect revenue as is secured through income tax,
Palestine pays tribute to Great Britain through various other channels. A sub-
stantial part of the country's expenditure goes to English officials who also have
a claim upon the Palestine Treasury for pensions. The various banks in Pales-

ordered its Board to break off all relations with the Jews [this could hardly have
been done without the consent of the Government] . They organized a meeting
in the summer of 1936, on which occasion the speaker proved that God never
promised the Jews the Holy Land." He states also that the Patriarch of the
Greek Catholic Church has contributed large sums to the Arab strike leaders, and
gives the case of an abbot in a monastery near Bethlehem who was caught red-
handed having bombs made in the monastery itself. — p. 73.

73 It is a historical fact that Jerusalem owes its place in Moslem tradition solely
to its association with Judaism, and to a lesser degree, with Christianity. It is
hardly as sacred as the Tunisian city of Kairwan, the holy city of all North
Africa. Yet today there is a great French settlement in Kairwan, and a French
administration. Any tourist can enter its famous mosques and no one seems
the worse off for it.

British officials that under no circumstances were they to visit the Jewish com-

44 The only persons in Palestine able to read Italian are a handful of educated
Jews and Catholic priests.
45 When Mosley, the English Fascist leader, an avowed admirer of Hitler,
went to Berlin a few years ago for advice on how to make his lagging movement
successful, the Nazi Fuehrer advised him : "Forget all other issues. Simply con-
centrate on the Jews." Mosley, who had until that time vigorously denied any
anti-Semitism, soon after joined the ranks of the most violent Jew-baiters in
Europe.
Apparently the same advice has been given to Mussolini who, watching the
success of Fascist groups in neighboring countries, with no better program than
simple anti-Semitism, has taken the lesson to heart. Just as Germany found allies
among reactionary groups in all countries when she adopted anti-Semitism as an
instrument of State policy, so Mussolini, under German stimulation, hopes to
similarly profit. In neighboring countries such as Rumania, Hungary and Po-
land, whose friendship the Italian dictator must cultivate if he is to avoid isolation,
anti-Semitism has developed into almost a religious frenzy. It is the Nazi parties
in each of these States who are in liaison with Germany and hence, ipso facto,
with Italy. To fit into this ideological unity the Italian was forced to simulate
an artificial racialism completely alien to the character of the country. Until
1938 a Jewish question had never existed there and anti-Semitism was practically
unknown.
46 In the Apennine Peninsula there are only 60,000 Jews, yet they have played
a distinguished and brilliant role. The names of Luigi Luzzatti, recent Minister
for Foreign Affairs, Ernest Nathan, late Mayor of Rome, General Giuseppe
Ottolenghi, Minister of War, Guido Jung, until 1935 Minister of Finance, and
Lodovico Mortara, Lord Chief Justice, are known to all who have followed
news from Italy. Among others in the Fascist inner circle could be counted the
banker Toeplitz, Mussolini's financial adviser ; Professor Olivetti, chief Fascist
theoretician ; the airman Finci, long Mussolini's right hand and leader with
D'Annunzio in the Fiume campaign ; Margherita Sarfati, author of the standard
biography of D Duce and much of the Fascist ideology ; Amalia Besso, for years

THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
President of the Federation of Fascist Women ; Ilvo Levi, long President of the
Fascist Students Union, Giuseppe Bottai, Fascist Minister of Education ; Sena-
tor Theodor Mayer, and Professor Areas, economic theoretician and adviser to
the Government. The editor of the chief Fascist organ, Regime Fascista, was
the Israelite Mario Levi. Another member of the Olivetti family was President
of the Society of Italian Industrialists. It was he who was appointed a committee
of one by Mussolini to study the economic possibilities of Ethiopia after the
Italian conquest of that country. Of the fifteen lawyers appointed a few years
ago to change the Italian Constitution to bring it in line with Fascist principles,
three were Jews. The Trieste Irredentist movement was led almost entirely
by Jews, Seure, Maier, Venizian and others. In the army were Ricardo Moizo,
Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Carabinieri Corps ; the distinguished and
loved General Mario Jona ; Field Marshal Graziani, conqueror of Ethiopia (of
Jewish origin, though a professing Catholic) ; Admiral Paoli Maroni, Com-
mander of the Fourth Naval Division ; Admiral Aldo Ascoli, Commander of the
Italian Naval Forces in Aegean ; and the head of the Italian Marine Corps,
General Umberto Pugliese. In commerce, the arts, professions and politics,
Jews occupied the most prominent positions in Italian life. They held four
hundred of Italy's eighteen hundred university chairs, not counting assistants
and lecturers. When Jewish professors fled Germany, Mussolini gave fifty of
them posts in Italian universities. Alone among the Governments, Italy granted
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem a subvention for the purpose of establishing
a chair in Romance Languages. Under the Jewish Communities Law, issued in
1 93 1, a Federation of Jewish Communities and a Rabbinical Council were es-
tablished with State subsidy and support.
It is to be assumed, however, in view of Italy's latest orientation that the happy
position of Italian Jewry will rapidly deteriorate much as it has in neighboring
countries on the continent.

went to Egypt also 'temporarily.'
88 Accepting tentatively the findings of the Royal Commission, the Permanent
Mandates Commission, Geneva, August 23, 1937, finds that "it is first necessary
to lengthen the period of political 'apprenticeship' of the two proposed States
either under a system of cantons or separate mandates until each State is fit to
govern itself."
60 The chairman of the Mandates Commission referred to this subvention as a

63 By this and corollary conventions, 1,300,000 Greeks were repatriated from
Turkey to Greece, and 400,000 Turks transferred from Greek territory to
Turkey. The agreement also involved an appraisal and exchange of property
so as to normalize the transaction to the satisfaction of both contracting parties.
This compulsory exchange of populations took place under the aegis of the
League of Nations.
To handle this great movement a proper machinery was set up, and vast
refugee loans floated, organized by the League and guaranteed by the Greek and
Turkish Governments. — See The Exchange of Minorities : Bulgaria, Greece and
Turkey by Stephen P, Ladas, New York, 1932.
In particular, Greece, a poverty-stricken small country already supporting a
population vastly denser than Palestine, received a sudden increase of 25% in
her population. She has not only absorbed these immigrants but has found
arising from them a new prosperity due to the intelligence and industries they
brought with them.
64 In 1932 the Times of India (Bombay, December 5) suggested such an ex-
change of the Jews of Iraq for surplus Arabs in Palestine. In September 1936,
Dr. Edwyn Robert Bevan of New College, Oxford, again brought up this solu-
tion in a letter to the London Times, Since Iraq is greatly underpopulated and
therefore unable properly to develop its own resources, it could offer Palestine
Arabs far larger and richer holdings than they now possess in the Holy Land.
He voiced the opinion that the biggest proportion of the 900,000 Arabs in Pales-
tine could thus be induced to migrate to Iraq.
65 Commissioner Palacios said drily : "It would appear that the idea of such a
highly important proposal had risen spontaneously as if by magic — yet it was
difficult to believe that a scheme which had stirred public opinion to such an
extent and awakened historical world ambitions, was devoid of deep founda-
tions and really had been stumbled on accidentally. What, therefore, were the
real reasons for the proposal ?" — Session of Mandates Commission, Geneva,

89 The head of the Jewish State Party, Meir Grossman, published a memo-
randum of the conversations between Weizmann and Ormsby-Gore on this
subject. For this 'crime,' the Zionist hierarchy later suspended Grossman for
a period of two years, "for a breach of Zionist discipline." In a blistering edi-
torial, Dr. Fritz Bernstein, editor of the conservative Hebrew daily Haboker
(and also a member of the Executive's 'Actions Committee'), warned that this
chain of action carried the threat of converting the Zionist Executive into "a

In July 1938, Premier Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha, on visit to London, re-
versed his country's attitude once more. Pressed by English interviewers who
asked whether it was his intention to take up the Palestine problem with the
British Authorities, he replied laconically : "I am Prime Minister of Egypt, not
of Palestine."

Such other individuals were introduced as Prince Omar Toussoun, cousin of
King Farouk, who warned Britain on September 10, that there would be trouble
"unless Palestine was returned to the Arabs." This is particularly interesting
since the Egyptians consider themselves to be of a vastly superior race and heir
to far finer traditions than the neighboring Arabs, despite the fact that they
also speak a variety of Arabic.
88 Several, like the Mufti, escaped this dragnet and took to their heels, and
are now hiding out in surrounding countries. To show what the Government
could do when it wanted to, the official Palestine Gazette (October 8, 1937) an-
nounced a ban on literature relating to or written by the Mufti, as well as on all
pictures of that gentleman.

an undivided Palestine," rejecting all palliatives short of that.

reported that this suggestion was made to Premier Mussolini in Rome by Joachim
von Ribbentrop, German Ambassador to London.

120 The announcement in itself was more than offensive. The High Com-
missioner simply stated that it had been decided to appoint two additional
Moslem Arabs (which would put the Moslems in control of the Council) and
that one of the Moslems to be appointed — still unnamed — would be Mayor.
Thus the announcement that the Mayor will be a Moslem is unconnected with
the naming of any individual. Were Acting-Mayor Auster a Moslem, he would
be eligible for the position of Mayor. Because he is a Jew, in a town the ma-
jority of whose inhabitants are Jewish, he is automatically disqualified for this
position.

122 Ben Josef was a member of the right wing faction of the Revisionists and
was militant vocally on the subject of direct resistance against terrorist activities.
Though he did not agree with the passive attitude adopted by Jewish leaders,

presented none.
123 /. T. A, News, July 13, 1938.
lzea All effort at retaliation on the part of Jews is severely deplored by the
Jewish Agency, which has imposed on its members the policy of havlaga (self-
restraint). The younger Jewish element in Palestine, and in particular the
Jewish nationalists, have rebelled bitterly against this passive attitude. This
sentiment is eloquently given in a private letter from one of their leaders (now
in hiding somewhere in Palestine) , smuggled through by courier to an American
sympathizer. This dramatic communication is reproduced here in the same
imperfect English in which it was written (the writer's native language is
Hebrew). The determined courage of the youthful Jews it speaks for, and
their striking likeness to the Irish Sinn Fein patriots, will be noted by all readers :
"You know no doubt the amazing affect the execution of Shlomo Ben Yosef
has had on our national youth and on the great Jewish masses in Eretz Yisroel
and abroad. In the week of the execution was the influence of the Agency and
the Mapai Lan influential left wing Zionist group] on the Yishub like zero.
It may be said without exaggeration that in those days the Revisionists were
the dictators of the Yishub — unfortunately for a short time.
"The death of Ben Yosef, unparalleled in his heroism, has definitely broken
the back of the havlaga, that shameful 'self-restraint' which is in fact pure
cowardice and surrender of all our positions and aspirations in Eretz Yisroel.
In a short time has our youth made wonderful achievements. What is now
happening in Eretz Yisroel is no more 'pogrom,' as in the last two and a half
years, but a heroic struggle for our homeland, a struggle for life and death.
Our wonderful national youth does fear neither the mandatory hangmen nor
gaols [jails] nor the denunciators from within. In one month over 140 Arabs
were killed . . . and Arabs no longer attack with impunity but only by dark.
... It is little doubt that when the so-called 'Jewish reprisals' [self-defense
measures] continue — and they shall continue ! — the Arabs will brought to the
necessity to capitulate.
"Our Agency — Mapai traitors, who are far more angry when Arabs were
killed than when Jewish children or women were wantonly murdered . . .
make their best to overbring [turn over] our fighters in the hands of the
British hangmen and jailors.
NOTES FOR PAGES 471 to 485 563
"The persecutions of our movement here are terrible. Many hundreds
Revisionist leaders or simple members are detained in Acre of Jerusalem or
Jaffa jail. The Palestine police together with the Mapai are busy in hunting
those Revisionists who escaped till now the imprisonment.
"All this has not broken the courage of our fighters. Our movement stands
in -fire. . . From a semi-liberal and tame party it was transformed in a short
time in a regular national revolutionary movement, with the slogan 'Liberty
or Death/ or, with the words of Jabotinsky and Ben Yosef : 'To die or to con-
quer the mountain/
"In these circumstances, when our heroic youth is fighting in Eretz Yisroel a
threefold fight — against the British 'mandatory* anti-Semites, against the Arabs
and against the traitors of Mapai — we are in bitterly need of help from abroad —
both morally and materially, in our fight for Jewish honor, Jewish redemption,
Jewish future. Our movement is now illegal in Eretz Yisroel in 95%. We
have no possibility of making propaganda in legal ways, as the Bolsheviks of
Mapai, the favoured children of 'the Imperialistic Power/ are making. We
need therefore an 'underground press' for propaganda, as we need means for
our fighting the foes of the Jewish people from without [Arab bandits],
"I am certain that you, dear Mr. , could do very much for our struggle
in Eretz Yisroel which is to decide the fate of our people and our homeland.
. . . When [if] we only continue the struggle, our victory is certain. When
you could provide us with some means, in money or in press machines, say, for
a sum of some 1000 dollars, you would do very much for our movement and
our people in the most deciding moment of his history. .

128b i t was pointed out by the Hebrew daily Davar (Tel Aviv, July 22, 1938)
that it was a practical impossibility for any Jew to penetrate into the spot where
the explosion took place (in the very heart of the Arab district), with a large
and heavy bomb weighing more than forty-five pounds, deposit it, and then
escape.
124 Drily the American Rabbi Louis L Newman charged the British Govern-
ment with not being "averse to having an unfavorable impression go forth as to
the possibilities of making Palestine a refuge for many thousands of Jewish new-
comers," asserting that this might "also be linked to Britain's desire to bring about
the partition of Palestine in accordance with her plan of last year." — New York

In the event that this plan met serious obstacles which would prevent its being
put into immediate operation the Commission was reported as offering as an alter-
native a temporary interim system of cantonization, splitting the country into a
score of regions — Jewish, Arab and mixed — with British police in control.
This scheme would effectively isolate the Jews to their own cantons.

CHAPTER I — THE COLLAPSE OF EMANCIPATION
1 The accusation of ritual murder was leveled originally not against the Jews
but against the Christians during the early days of the Roman Empire. As a
result of these false charges, thousands of Christians were tortured and put to
death. Minucius Felix in Chapter XXX of his Octavius, describes these "Chris-
tian rites for the admission of new members" which he asserts are "as horrible as
they are well known." Often confessions were exacted from these unfortu-
nates by torture. Even such cultured men as Tacitus, Pliny and Trajan believed
implicitly in the truth of these canards. (See Tacitus, Annates XV, 44.) It
was only after Christianity had become the religion of the Roman State that
this slander ceased. It was not until the beginning of the Thirteenth Century
that it was transferred to the Jewish religion. Since then it has shown irre-
pressible vitality as an accusation against Jews.
2 The height of absurdity was perhaps reached by Richard Walther Darre
(Nazi Minister of Agriculture), reported in Die Neue Weltbuehne : "Pigs have
their bad reputation only because the Jews hate their noble qualities and spread
lies about them."
3 Drafted January 1, 1936. On September 19, 1938 it was officially estimated
that 110,000 Jews would be thrown out of work when the announced ban on
Jewish commercial travelers and sales agents goes into force on October 1 of
that year. In 1938, also, a wholesale ban on Jewish physicians went into ef-
fect. The 6400 Jewish doctors in Germany have now been forbidden to prac-
tice.

Jewish craftsmen in the country of the right to practice their trade or to employ
apprentices. Innocent in appearance, it restricted artisan licenses to those ap-

itbTime, September 12, 1938.
The Russian press, and reports of impartial visitors, all testify that anti-Semitism
in its grossest forms is growing rapidly in Russia. Eugene Lyons noted that
NOTES FOR PAGES 485 to 496
Russians commonly refer to "this Jewish government" whenever any national
disaster or private difficulty arises. "The recent trial in Moscow [the first big
Russian purge]," asserted Trotzky, "was prepared with the almost open object
of making the internationalists [those on trial] appear as Jews without ideals
and law, capable of selling themselves to the German Gestapo [State Secret
Police], Since 1925 . . . there has been in progress well camouflaged anti-
Semitic demagogy, hand in hand with symbolic trials against open pogromists
... a spirit of anti-Semitism which the leaders are using expertly, to direct . . .
against the Jews the dissatisfaction which exists against the bureaucracy."
(J.T.A. Report, January 26, 1937.)
In September 1927 the well known Soviet journalist Sosnowsky wrote in
Komsomolskaya Pravda that the Communist Party was full of members "who
were at heart pogromists" but who kept their anti-Semitism quiet. The Amer-
ican correspondent, Leon Dennen, declared : "It did not take me long last year
[1933] to discover anti-Semitism in Russia. . . It crops up everywhere . . . one
encounters it in the cooperative stores and in factories as well as in theaters."
(Menorah Journal, Spring 1934.)
An infinite number of examples graphically portray this hidden trend in the
land of Soviets. The Leningrad newspaper, Krasnaya Gazeta, charged on Feb-
ruary 9, 1926 that anti-Semitism was rife in hospitals and colleges ; and on
December 8, 1927, Knorin, Secretary of the White Russian Communist Party,
acknowledged in his report submitted to the Party Conference at Minsk that "it
was impossible to deny the existence of a growing anti-Semitism among the
working classes, not only in White Russia but also in Moscow, Leningrad and
throughout the country." The newspaper Shtern of Charkov (July 18, 1930),
complains that Jews are not employed on Soviet railways and demands an in-
vestigation.
Another example is the declaration of Sovostin, leader of the Bezbozhniki
(official Russian league for promoting atheism), on March 4, 193 1, that Jews
still killed Christian children for blood to use in preparing matzos. The news-
paper Komsomolskaya Pravda (Moscow, January 10, 1929) lists many incidents
of Jews compelled to leave factories and schools because of anti-Semitic per-
secution in which members of the Communist Youth Organization were in-
volved.
Following the exile of Trotzky there occurred a wholesale expulsion of Jews,
not only from political posts but also from technical and scientific positions as
well as party membership, he Matin of Paris reported in October 1936 a
systematic anti-Jewish drive led by Marshal Voroshilov, Soviet Army chief, to
eliminate Jews from all high posts in the Government. Jewish leaders were
systematically arrested and purged. Today there are only two Jewish figures
in the entire Soviet government who are in positions of authority. One is
Litvinov, who remains practically indispensable due to his experience and
knowledge. The other is the organization expert, Kaganovich.
While it is true that Jews possess, under the law, equality with other citizens,
this is at the expense of their Jewish belief, since Judaism is persecuted with
unabated ferocity in Russia. It must be pointed out that this was a kind of
equality the Jew could also have had under the Czars, had he been willing to
forego his religious convictions. The Czars, in fact, granted full liberties to Jews
if they converted, and, far from being militated against, special favor was actually
shown them.
Despite catchwords, phrases and guarantees it may be logically assumed that
Russia, which was the old land of pogroms, will again prove to be the grave-
yard of the Jews.

The full realism of the Communist position may be seen in the various
maneuvers which took place in pre-Hiuer Germany, where the Communists
often joined in a 'united front* with their brown-shirted rivals. A speaking
example was the resolution offered in the Prussian Diet on June 27, 1932, instruct-
ing the Government to submit the draft of a law providing for confiscation of
the property of all East European Jews who entered the country after August i,
1914. The passage of this resolution (which was not carried into actual effect)
was made possible by an alliance between the National Socialists (Nazis) and
the Communist deputies in the Diet,

17 A sample of this condition is shown in the sudden action of republican
Switzerland, which in August 1938 returned to Germany an estimated 1000
refugees who were without proper papers, and which formally closed the border
against any further infiltration. In London itself on August 19, 1938, Magistrate
Herbert Metcalfe sentenced three of these unfortunate refugees to prison terms
at hard labor for illegally entering England. "The way stateless Jews from
Germany are pouring in from every port of this country," he declared, "is an
outrage."

The Nazi ideologists consider Christianity to be an alien importation, degrad-
ing to the German soul. A German court recently refused to register the name
of a newly born German child named Joshua, alleging that since the name was
"typically Jewish" it was an affront to German honor. Since Jesus is described
in the first chapter of Matthew and in the third chapter of Luke as "the son of
David, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham," he, too, obviously
falls within the hated category. It is known that the whole of Chancellor
Hitler's bodyguard has left the Church to become converted to paganism. Party
leaders are increasingly giving up their Protestant and Catholic memberships
and, without exception, those who still retain Christian affiliations merely do so
nominally, for the sake of general world opinion.

Recognizing the dangers in this program, Pope Pius VI immediately chal-
lenged it as an attack on Church principles. Leaflets distributed by the thou-

ligion."

frenzy against the Judeo-Christian-Liberal enemy ? The grandiose extent of
NOTES FOR PAGES 518 to 523 569
this ambition hardly cancels its existence. It is relatively no more fantastic than
the plans the Nazi has already succeeded in translating into reality. And in
the Reich, Brown Shirts still march to the exultant chant of "today Germany —
tomorrow the world ! "
16 Says Voigt in his book, Unto Caesar : "This Pact is an anti-British Pact. Al-
though not an alliance, it expresses the common interest that Germany, Italy,
and Japan have, not to strike at Communism, but at the British Commonwealth
whenever the absolute weakness or passivity of England make an attack pos-
sible. . . England is in danger. Her spiritual life is threatened by the Hybris
of secular religion. Her material existence is menaced by the greatest military
power in the world. Unless she is strong, the Third Realm will be to her as
Sparta was to Athens, whose fate will be hers." — pp. 231-239.
17 It is interesting to note, according to a dispatch on July 24, 1938, by Havas,
the famous French News Agency, that Japan, too, has decided to join Italy in
espousing the racial theories of the Reich and waging war on the Jews. Several
eminent Japanese, according to Nazi spokesmen, are due to arrive in Germany
"to study the Jewish question." Since there are practically no Jews in Japan,
this anomaly speaks for itself. According to Havas : "Observers believe that
these moves on the part of the two other members of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo
alliance herald an international offensive on the part of the Reich against world
Jewry along the lines of its vast anti-Bolshevist campaign." Anti-Communism,
it states, "is to be played down in favor of anti-Semitism" (with its inevitable
corollary of anti-Christianity). It is believed that the adherence of Italy and
Japan to the German racial theories presage a united anti-Jewish — anti-
Christian campaign in the Arab world, with a similar, but more subtly organized
effort planned in the Anglo-Saxon and South American countries.

21 The world has a definite stake in the survival of this brilliant people, which
has produced some of the greatest ornaments of the human race. In music,
literature, science, commerce and the arts, European Jewry has contributed an
excessive proportion of notable figures. "Among all the world's groups of
people," states Professor Ellsworth Huntington, "there is none which for so
long time, uninterruptedly, and to so high a degree in proportion to its numbers
has furnished great leaders." ("The Causes of Jewish Greatness," in the Aryan
and Semite, p. 21.) In our day these same unwanted Jews have given to Europe
some of her outstanding thinkers such as Einstein, Michelson and Cassirer in Ger-
many, Freud in Austria and Bergson in France. (See Norman Bentwich, The
Jews, p. 100.) Of the 29 German Nobel prize-winners, 13 were full-blooded
Jews. The German films, once so widely known as an artistic product, were
almost entirely the result of Jewish effort ; and, in 1934, a famous American
physician declared, referring to such figures as Wassermann and Ehrlich, that if
one were to erase the Jewish names from German medical textbooks, the books
would consist only of two covers. The predominance of Jews in intellectual
pursuits was acknowledged by the Nazi authority Richard Eichenauer, who com-
plained in his book, Musik und Rasse : "Jewish conductors occupy the most im-
portant posts ; Jewish singers dominate in opera and operetta ; Jewish virtuosi
rule in our concert halls ; Jewish critics inundate our newspapers and peri-
odicals ; Jewish councillors, professors and conservatory directors select what
music . . . our youth grows up with." Practically all of the great violinists
of the world, from Zimbalist and Heifetz to Kreisler, are of this same Central
570 THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
and East European Jewish stock. So is that long list of noted poets and writers
such as Schnitzler, Werfel, Zweig, Wassermann and Feuchtwanger.
In science are such commanding figures as Heinrich Hertz, who made the first
wireless experiments ; Emil Berliner, inventor of the microphone ; David
Schwartz who invented the rigid gas bag later to bear the name of Count Zep-
pelin ; Otto Lilienthal, the great pioneer of flying ; Leo Graetz, inventor of the
Graetzian light ; and an unending list of others such as James Franck, Gustav
Hertz, Max Borne, Hermann Arons and Jacques Loeb, without whose great work
human life and knowledge would be infinitely poorer. The history of philo-
logical science, of botany, of archaeology and of astronomy are studded with
Jewish names.
Though Jews were not even one percent of the population, 14.2% of the law
professors in German universities in 1909-10 were born as Jews, as were 12% of
the professors in the Department of Philosophy and 16.8% of the professors in
the Medical Department.
The German chemical industry, as another example, is largely a product of
Jewish genius. It was Adolph Frank whose technical and scientific work laid
the basis for the founding of the potassium industry, Heinrich Caro whose dis-
covery of aniline dyes gave Germany preeminence in commerce and industry,
and an inexhaustible list of other great experimenters such as Karl Leibermann,
Victor Meyer and Fritz Haber whose work utterly revolutionized chemistry.
Without these men, and other Jews who collaborated with them to develop the
business and commercial ends of these great enterprises, the German chemical
industry would be virtually non-existent.
Much the same situation is true in neighboring countries where the Jews are
now suffering so severely. In Poland the Jews supplied almost the entire
middle class, and says Fraser : "When we talk about Russian art, we generally
mean Polish Jewish art." {The Conquering Jew, p. 280.) Similarly in the
surrounding countries, Jews have contributed heavily to both intellectual and
industrial life. In Rumania they started practically all of the principal indus-
tries, and it was they who developed the country's basic resources. It was a
Jew, Berkovici, who put the Rumanian language on a grammatical basis. Jews
founded and carried on the only banking system of Rumania until the Gov-
ernment banking system recently supplanted it. In all the arts and sciences they
have played a foremost part ; and nave also produced the country's greatest
poets.

APPENDIX A
THE MANDATE FOR PALESTINE
The Council of the League of Nations :
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose
of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of
the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the
said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which
formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries
as may be fixed by them ; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the
Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declara-
tion originally made on November 2, 191 7, by the Government of
His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour
of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish
people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done
which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-
Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status
enjoyed by Jews in any other country ; and
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical con-
nection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for
reconstituting their national home in that country ; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have selected His Britannic
Majesty as the Mandatory for Palestine ; and
Whereas the mandate in respect of Palestine has been formulated
in the following terms and submitted to the Council of the League
for approval ; and
Whereas His Britannic Majesty has accepted the mandate in respect
of Palestine and undertaken to exercise it on behalf of the League
of Nations in conformity with the following provisions ; and
Whereas by the afore-mentioned Article 22 (paragraph 8), it is
provided that the degree of authority, control or administration to
be exercised by the Mandatory, not having been previously agreed
upon by the Members of the League, shall be explicitly defined by the
Council of the League of Nations ;
Confirming the said mandate, defines its terms as follows :
Article 1.
The Mandatory shall have full powers of legislation and of ad-
ministration, save as they may be limited by the terms of this mandate.
571
57 2
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE
Article 2.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under
such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure
the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the
preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and
also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants
of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.
Article 3.
The Mandatory shall, so far as circumstances permit, encourage
local autonomy.
Article 4.
An appropriate Jewish agency shall be recognised as a public body
for the purpose of advising and cooperating with the Administration
of Palestine in such economic, social and other matters as may affect
the establishment of the Jewish national home and the interests of
the Jewish population in Palestine, and, subject always to the con-
trol of the Administration, to assist and take part in the development
of the country.
The Zionist organisation, so long as its organisation and constitu-
tion are in the opinion of the Mandatory appropriate, shall be recog-
nised as such agency. It shall take steps in consultation with His
Britannic Majesty's Government to secure the cooperation of all
Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish
national home.
Article j.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine
territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the
control of, the Government of any foreign Power.
Article 6.
The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights
and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced,
shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and

in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State
lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.

ulation or usage in the Ottoman Empire, shall not be applicable in
Palestine.
Unless the Powers whose nationals enjoyed the afore-mentioned
privileges and immunities on August 1, 19 14, shall have previously
renounced the right to their reestablishment, or shall have agreed
to their non-application for a specified period, these privileges and
immunities shall, at the expiration of the mandate, be immediately re-
established in their entirety or with such modifications as may have
been agreed upon between the Power? concerned.
Article p.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that the judicial
system established in Palestine shall assure to foreigners, as well as

for public ownership or control of any of the natural resources of
the country or of the public works, services and utilities established
or to be established therein. It shall introduce a land system appro-
priate to the needs of the country, having regard, among other things,
to the desirability of promoting the close settlement and intensive
cultivation of the land.
The Administration may arrange with the Jewish agency men-
tioned in Article 4 to construct or operate, upon fair and equitable
terms, any public works, services and utilities, and to develop any
of the natural resources of the country, in so far as these matters
are not directly undertaken by the Administration. Any such ar-
rangements shall provide that no profits distributed by such agency,
directly or indirectly, shall exceed a reasonable rate of interest on
the capital, and any further profits shall be utilised by it for the
benefit of the country in a manner approved by the Administration.
Article 12.
The Mandatory shall be entrusted with the control of the foreign
relations of Palestine and the right to issue exequaturs to consuls ap-
pointed by foreign Powers. He shall also be entitled to afford diplo-
matic and consular protection to citizens of Palestine when outside
its territorial limits.
Article 13.
All responsibility in connection with the Holy Places and religious
buildings or sites in Palestine, including that of preserving existing
rights and of securing free access to the Holy Places, religious build-
ings and sites and the free exercise of worship, while ensuring the
requirements of public order and decorum, is assumed by the Manda-
tory, who shall be responsible solely to the League of Nations in all
matters connected herewith, provided that nothing in this article
shall prevent the Mandatory from entering into such arrangements
as he may deem reasonable with the Administration for the purpose
of carrying the provisions of this article into effect ; and provided
also that nothing in this mandate shall be construed as conferring
upon the Mandatory authority to interfere with the fabric or the
management of purely Moslem sacred shrines, the immunities of
which are guaranteed.
Article 14.
A special Commission shall be appointed by the Mandatory to
study, define and determine the rights and claims in connection
APPENDIX A

ferent religious communities in Palestine. The method of nomina-
tion, the composition and the functions of this Commission shall be
submitted to the Council of the League for its approval, and the
Commission shall not be appointed or enter upon its functions with-
out the approval of the Council.
Article ij.
The Mandatory shall see that complete freedom of conscience and
the free exercise of all forms of worship, subject only to the main-
tenance of public order and morals, are ensured to all. No discrimi-
nation of any kind shall be made between the inhabitants of Palestine
on the ground of race, religion or language. No person shall be
excluded from Palestine on the sole ground of his religious belief.

the education of its own members in its own language, while con-
forming to such educational requirements of a general nature as the
Administration may impose, shall not be denied or impaired.
Article 16.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for exercising such super-
vision over religious or eleemosynary bodies of all faiths in Palestine
as may be required for the maintenance of public order and good
government. Subject to such supervision, no measures shall be taken
in Palestine to obstruct or interfere with the enterprise of such bodies
or to discriminate against any representative or member of them on
the ground of his religion or nationality.
Article 17.
The Administration of Palestine may organise on a voluntary basis
the forces necessary for the preservation of peace and order, and
also for the defence of the country, subject, however, to the
supervision of the Mandatory, but shall not use them for purposes
other than those above spec ified save with the consent of the Manda-
tory. Except for such purposes, no military, naval or air forces
shall be raised or maintained by the Administration of Palestine.
Nothing in this article shall preclude the Administration of Palestine
from contributing to the cost of the maintenance of the forces of the
Mandatory in Palestine.
The Mandatory shall be entitled at all times to use the roads, rail-
ways and ports of Palestine for the movement of armed forces and
the carriage of fuel and supplies.

THE McMAHON LETTER
This letter, over which so much controversy has arisen, was sent
by McMahon, then British High Commissioner for Egypt, to the
Sherif Hussein in reply to his request for a clearer definition of the
terms under which he was willing to start a rebellion against the
Ottoman Empire:
"October 24th, 191 5
"The districts of Mersina and Alexandretta and portions lying to
the west of the districts of Damascus, Hama, Horns, and Aleppo,
cannot be said to be purely Arab, and should be excluded from the
proposed limits and boundaries. With the above modifications, and
without prejudice to our existing treaties with Arab chiefs, we accept
those limits and boundaries, and in regard to those portions of the
territories in which Great Britain is free to act without detriment to
the interest of her ally France, I am empowered in the name of the
Government of Great Britain to give the following assurance and
make the following reply to your letter :
" 'Subject to the above modifications, Great Britain is prepared to
recognise and support the independence of the Arabs within the ter-
ritories included in the limits and boundaries proposed by the Sherif
of Mecca.'

APPENDIX D
A creative Zionist program which is to meet the present emergency
should be based on the following minimum demands :
( 1 ) Proper land frontiers, to include the entire territory as orig-
inally mandated for Jewish settlement by the League of Nations
(Western Palestine plus Transjordan), a rectification of the northern
boundaries to recover the lost territory of the Hauran, and Sinai Pen-
insula.
(2) An assisted mass immigration conducted under the control of
the Great Powers, with a provision for the liquidation of refugee
properties (patterned after the Refugee Settlements Commission
which conducted the Graeco-Turkish exchange of population in
1922).
(3) The granting, on application, of extra-territorial Palestine citi-
zenship to stateless or persecuted Jews, for the immediate purpose of
protecting their lives and properties.
(4) The withdrawal of the Jewish National Home from the juris-
diction of the Colonial Office, and the retirement of the entire body of
anti-Zionist office-holders now quartered in the National Home ; then-
places to be taken by sympathetic officials whose appointment shall be
subject to the approval of the recognized Jewish Body.
(5) The abrogation of the entire fabric of restrictive legislation is-
sued by the present Mandatory, which now nullifies in detail the ob-
ligations to which the Mandatory is committed in principle.
(6) The restoration to the Jewish Agency, or some other recognized
Jewish Body, of those rights vouchsafed it in the Mandate for Pales-
tine ; this Body to have the same wide powers usually granted to col-
onizing bodies.
(7) Expropriation of all unused lands (at fair prices, to be deter-
mined by an International Commission) and their resale under reason-
able terms to incoming settlers.
(8) A State policy suitable to modern colonization, to include the
protection of local industry, favored taxation to new enterprises, and
State subsidies to all undertakings designed to enhance the economic
prosperity of the National Home.
(9) The placing of the defense forces of the National Home into
Jewish hands in cooperation with advisory officers to be supplied by
the Mandatory.
(10) The floating of an International Loan, suitable to the needs of
an enterprise of this size and scope, under control of the Great Powers
and guaranteed by the resources of the National Home.
582
APPENDIX D
583
(n) Treaties of trade and military alliance which will serve the
proper interests of both the Jewish National Home and the Manda-
tory.
(12) A concordat to be signed with the Christian Churches, recog-
nizing their legitimate interest in the Holy Places.
