WHOSE SERVICE IS PERFECT FREEDOM (VIII)By c. H. DOUGLAS

I..)

It seems to me to be beyond question, that unassailableright to genuinely private property, and any genuinedemocracy, are inseparable. I should define privateproperty as anything, no matter what its composition ornature, which, being in the possession of the individual, isnecessary to enable him to carryon his normal life withoutnterference, and that "possession of title" is presumptiveevidence of private property.

It is particularly necessary to notice in this connection,the trap of collectivism. In an appeal, significantly issuedimmediately after the outbreak of war, for the Jewish NationalFund, and signed by Lord Samuel, it is stated "The principleof the land for the people, owned by the people, is thebedrock foundation on which our movement rests." Thisstatement is so important as to be historic, because itidentifies a most responsible Jew, whether he is conscious ofit or not, with communism. And it would, no doubt, bedifficult to find a representative Jew of higher generalcharacter than Lord Samuel. Yet it is to establish Com-munism that Jews all over the world have worked to produceanother Great War.

Analysed, Lord Samuel's statement means that the out-standingly Jewish movement-almost the only openlyJewish Political movement-Zionism, is based on the prin-ciple of what is well known to lawyers as "tenancy-in-common" of real estate. There is nothing novel about it;there are probably thousands of instances in this country ofit, although they are decreasing rapidly for a perfectly goodreason-that, of all forms of holding property, it is the onewhich most thoroughly deprives the proprietor of anycontrol both over his alleged property and its administra-tors, 'while leaving him its liabilities. On the other hand,lawyers love it; the various "tenants" never agree on anyactive measure in connection with it; its administration isultimately left in the lawyer's hand generally withinstructions to make a suitable sale; and everyone of the"tenants" sighs with relief when his share is liquidated forcash. That is what "the land for the people" means exceptthat the "people" would not be able to demand or get thecash for their share. It is the exact opposite of the landfor individuals, the exact opposite of the democracy ofpolicy and fundamentally incompatible with the Anglo-Saxon conception of freedom. Even in the most orthodoxfinancial sense the value of an estate-in-common is anythingup to fifty per cent. less than sole ownership.

Fundamentally, tenants-in-common lose, as such, all theprivileges of ownership. They can, and in English law,do, enjoy such credit rights as are not usurped by the State.But Lord Samuel does not say anything about this, or any-

thing like it, nor does he refer to the fact that it is exactlythis doctrine which has made it possible for the Dictatorsof Russia, Germany, and Italy to involve their populationsin desperate adventures. Stalin made no mistake when hecollectivised Russian farming in spite of its gross inefficiency-he understood quite well that every admission of privateownership is an effective buttress to criticism of Govern-ment action. -

Tenancy-in-common of the credit of essentiallycollective enterprises is another matter. Private ownershipof a large nut and bolt factory is an abstract fiction. Nosingle individual wants its output. The credit value of itis a proper subject for tenancy-in-common, and therealities of the situation are satisfied by distributed share-holding. This aspect of the problem, it should beemphasised, has nothing whatever to do with collectivism inthe Socialist sense.

It is significant that an Emergency Powers Act, obvious-ly most carefully drafted by those "Planning" interestsidentified with Jewish Communism, was the first legislativeact of the present War. Every provision of it is designed tosweep away those rights of the individual in property andperson for which the Anglo-Saxon has contended forcenturies, and to bring about their transfer to a centralised,irresponsible and semi-secret authority. That is exactlywhat Communism means in practice, and although LordSamuel and others of his race are enthusiastic about it, Inotice that they are insistent that they shall be allowed tolive, as individuals, in such countries as Great Britain wheretheir theories have not yet been put wholly into practice."Tenancy-in-common for the people"; all real powers to theadministrators, "the chosen". Just as in Russia.

The Satanic power of these collectivist abstractions,typified by such words as "the people", "the workers", "thepublic", the "proletariat", and many others, is obviouslyimmense. It is possible to observe their systematic appli-cation all over the world, to produce the conditionsinseparable from Jewish influence. There is no exploiterof the Jew like the Jew. The sweat shops of the East End-of London and the East Side of New York are owned byJews employing Jews, under conditions which no Anglo-Saxon would impose. These establishments produce amentality in the exploited which espousing the cause of "thepeople", would reduce all the "rich" other than thefinanciers to the ranks of the Proletariat. Engels, the Jewmillionaire who financed Karl Marx, the prophet of collect-ivism, amassed his fortune by the relentless exploitation ofchild labour in the Manchester district. South Lancashire,in its subservience to Jewish policy, its fifty years of

characteristically feverish prosperity, accompanied by thereduction of the countryside, from one of the most beautifulin these islands, to the semblance of a devastated area, and

. its subsequent economic collapse, affords an object lesson wellworth thoughtful consideration. No people has ever beenexploited so systematically as have the Russians, however.

There is the closest possible relationship betweencollectivism, mongrelisation (the treatment of individuals as

if they were standard mass-produced petrol, eventually tobe "pooled") the manipulation by absurd taxation as wellas by monopoly emission of an amorphous generalisation of"values", money, and the systematic exaltation and expansionof bureaucracy. They are the policy of a philosophy.

WE ARE DANCERS

The forces working ostensibly for "freedom" but in fact (as judged by their acts) for enslavement have at theirdisposal for propaganda all but the very best material. It is our responsibility to distinguish between the delightfultechnique employed and the policy for which it is being used.

The Ballet 100ss has been in this country tor some years, but their best numbers including 'The Green Table'were composed before their transplantation from Germany to the internationalist soil of Dartington. In theirnewer work there are some signs of a deterioration in essential vitality.

This title will need some explain-ing. It is intended as. a tribute to thework of those men and women whocomprise the company known as "TheBallet Jooss."

In a recent issue of The SocialCrediter there was a very importantarticle dealing with the "Federal Union"and one of its principal supporters, Mr.Leonard Elmhirst of Dartington Hall inSouth Devon. The reading of thisarticle gave me something of a shockand a deep feeling of sadness. The«Ballet Jooss" is sponsored by Mr.Leonard Elmhirst of Darrington Hall inSouth Devon.

I recently had the idea of writingin praise of the very beautiful work ofthis extraordinary group of artists andin particular of writing about theirballet "The Green Table." It wasconstantly a matter of surprise to methat no mention of this had everappeared in The Social Crediter: it is amatter for amazement .that it hasescaped the writer of the report on"Federal Union."

I may confess that I am somethingof a lunatic on the subject of Ballet:during the one and only visit of theBallet Jooss to Dublin for one week Iattended four performances. Never-theless, I do not think I exaggerate theimportance of what I am going to saynext. The Ballet "The Green Table"is probably the greatest piece of pro-paganda that has yet been devised. Iearnestly recommend every member ofthe illuminati to see it, at least once.

Some months ago I wrote a fewpages on the "Ballet Jooss" with theidea of submitting them to a local paperif and when the Company should again

By ALAIN

VISIt our city. 1 now propose to readthem over and copy some of these pageson to this page. The following wastherefore, written before I read of"Federal Union." (I have decided toinclude more than two-thirds of myoriginal. Here it is).

"THE BALLET JOOSS.""On the Monday night, the question

I asked myself was: Is this better pr notso good as Ballet as I previously knewit? I left this question to answer itselfbefore the week was over: the verdictwas for the new ballet and the answertwo-fold. Firstly, this is a purer formof Art. Secondly, I like it better,enjoy it more, find it more satisfying.

"The effect produced is a feeling ofspirituality, the beauty of such Art iselevating. It is as the beauty of a flatlandscape, the horizon at sea. Althoughmost of us feel the beauty of mountainand lake not all know the strange, quietbeauty of the vast flat landscape. Itis this that is the Lure of the Desert,the Veldt and the Sea.

"So I come back to the stage of theBallet Jooss-that blank, nearly emptyspace without backcloth, that perform-ance without orchestra, that dancingwhich is simply dancing.

"Long before the end of the weekI had decided that the orchestra wouldhave been wrong. Its colour wouldhave been a contrapuntal mistake,restraint here would be impossible andabsurd. Remove it! Just have musicenough for the dancers to dance to, notfor the audience to listen to. Let therebe no distractions or should I saycounter-attractions.

"So also in the use of colour in the

costumes and scenery. Decor, that isno more (the Ballet programme withoutthe word Decor!). Here is a restraintso great as to deserve the wordcourageous ... . "

"Asked to say what was the BalletIooss like, I feel inclined to say.-Well,there is no orchestra, no scenery, noprima ballerinas, quite a small company:but, don't miss seeing it no matter whatit costs you."

Can you sympathise with the shockI suffered on reading "Federal Union"?

I wish you had all seen the "GreenTable" ballet, so that I might here endthis story. The "Green Table" issomething to be seen, not to be writtenabout. Well, it depicts a green tablearound which are grouped an inter-national assembly. The representativesof the nations talk (in mime), gesticulate,are angry, suave, dignified, bellicose.(But, all the time they are idiotic).

Timber from Canada, Scandinaviaor Russia?

Question in the House of Lords.The Earl of Tankerville-

To ask His Majesty's Govern-ment whether they are aware of, andhave taken fully into consideration,the highly dangerous effect uponpublic opinion and morale in neutralcountries as well as in this countrylikely to be produced by theannouncement broadcast on the 11thOctober concerning the exchange ofcertain goods between England' andthe U.S.S.R. simultaneously withannouncements to the effect thatFinland and other Scandinaviancountries are imminently threatenedby Russian aggression, and when

.goods, such as rubber and tin, suppliedby England might be of assistance toRussia in any such aggression, ormight pass from Russia to Germany;and further to ask His Majesty'sGovernment whether British require-ments of timber could not equally andpreferably be supplied by the Dom-inion of Canada or by Scandinavia.

Answer.25th October, 1939.

His Majesty's Government are notaware that the agreement in question hasaroused adverse comment in responsibleScandinavian circles. It must be wellknown that to conduct trade with aforeign government does not necessarilyimply approval of their political actions;and in the case of the Soviet Govern-ment I would point out that commercialexchanges are maintained with thatgovernment not only by all the belliger-ent countries, but also by the neutralcountries, including the ScandinavianStates themselves.

This particular agreement, more-over, was a special ad hoc transaction forthe purpose of .obtaining supplies oftimber from what was at the moment themost convenient source. The amount oftin and rubber that will be sent to theSoviet Union in return will depend onthe amount of timber sent to thiscountry; but in any case, it is not likelyto exceed the quantity normally import-ed from here by the Soviet Union for itsown use. There is thus little chance ofthese exports reaching Germany, and notmuch more chance of their being used toassist a Soviet attack on Finland.

As regards the most advantageous

VIEWSsources of supply of timber; this questionis constantly before the Timber Con-troller; and the decision to have recourseto Soviet sources in this case was due tovalid reasons, into which I need not nowenter in detail, but which are well knownto the timber trade.

RestrictionUnder an Order in Council amend-

ing the Defence regulations which, unlessannulled this week, becomes law, theGovernment is given authority (amongother provisions) to impose curfew ordersmaking it an offence to be out of doorsbetween certain hours without a writtenpermit, to arrest persons without awarrant; and to prosecute anyone ex-pressing opinions likely to be prejudicialto the Defence of the Realm or theefficient prosecution of the war.

While it is recognised that excep-tional powers should be granted toMinisters in times of war, so that theyare able to ensure national safety, yetfar more real power (the willingness andforce of the people themselves) wouldbe obtained by having as few restrictionsas possible, and by relieving individualsof their overwhelming burden of taxation-a feat not beyond the cleverness of ourfinanciers.

• • •That Quinquennial Reoaluation

The Ministry of Health has circu-lated Local Authorities that it is theMinister's intention to secure thepostponement of the Third Quinquen-nial Revaluation.

The revaluation, which was first duein 1938 was postponed until 1941 owingto the tremendous pressure of the will ofthe majority of the ratepayers concerned,which was focussed on their representa-tives largely by social crediters.

• o •Shopkeepers Assert Themselves

The hurricane raised among smallshoo keepers and busy shoppers bv therestriction of shopping hours is causingthe rapid and wholesale retreat ofofficialdom. Most local authoritieshave used their power to allow lateropening on some or all days of the week,action which is entirely due to theexercise of the personal sovereignty ofthe "small man."

Con-centralising our Words"Hitlerism," said the Marquess of

Lothian, British Ambassador to theUnited States, recently, "is the child ofBolshevism out of universal economicnationalism . . ." He went on to saythat what Hitlerism was challenging, wasnot the frontiers made at Versailles butthe whole democratic conception ofinternational life.

This confusion between the words'democracy' and 'Internationalism' is acommon trick. It cannot be too clearlystated that intrinsically 'democracy' hasnothing to do with 'internationalism'-it has to do with the government of thepeople according to their own desires,obtaining for them the results that theywant. Any man's desires run first andforemost locally, not internationally:' tothe black-out and the state of the 'watersupply rather than to the morals ofChinamen or the affairs of those in othercountries. Although relations withforeign countries may be involved, theydo not take priority. As soon as'democracy' becomes interchangeablewith 'internationalism' then a victory for'democracy' will mean the imposition ofinternationalism,-not democracy.

The newspaper report adds thatearlier, at a luncheon given in honour ofthe Ambassador, Mr. Newbold Morris,president of the New York City Councilrepresenting the Mayor, Mr. La Guardia(brains trust) said:-

"One hundred and twenty millionAmericans are praying for England."

Awfully sporting of them, what?

• • •Nazis Finance the War

The Nazi Government has decidedto mobilise savings banks deposits andinsurance funds "to a certain extent."

This scheme is intended to avoidnew taxation to finance. war measures.

The money will be held at theGovernment's disposition, ·,and with-drawals are .possible only with specialGovernment permission .

Even for Nazi Germany, wherefinancial control has already been pushedto extreme lengths, the actual,' seizure, ofbank ,deposits and insurance funds is asurprisingly drastic step.

-Daily Telegraph, 27th Oct. 1939., Is this financial control? Or is it

In spite of the extensive employ-ment of women in Russia on actualmachirie work, it is probable that womentake more instinctively to office work ofvarious kinds rather than to the contin-uous use of tools. They may adaptthemselves during an emergency. From1914 to 1918 thousands of womenentered munition factories and didexcellent work. But this was not to saythat it was the work they preferred.

Let us therefore approach thesubject from an entirely different angleand ask ourselves what we may beexpected to contribute in war-time.

Now probably everyone realisesthat there is no such thing as a simplewar. Very few really believe that 'It'sall on account of one man,' or that thereis only one objective, the comparativelysimple one of beating Germany. Allof us who think at all know that duringall wars, in recent times at all events,hidden objectives have been invariablypursued, objectives probably of far widersignificance than "getting to Berlin."If you do not quite realise this, may Idraw your attention to the recent broad-cast of Mr. Anthony Eden to America.He said:

Our new civilisation must bebuilt through a world at war. Butit will be built just the same.

The real meaning of those words isof the greatest significance to English-men and women. To what civilisationdoes he refer and WHO has designed it?

Which is the more important toyou. your function as women and in-dividuals, citizens of Great Britain, orvour function in the factory where youdo your daily work?

If you grasp what I mean you willrealise the great danger, particularly towomen, of separating your citizenshipfrom your function as workers. Themain reason for this, I think, is obviousto all of us. We are fivhtina so thatEn=land may be England. But if weallow ourselves to be treated as merefunctional units in a works factory, thereis a possibility that we may be used tofurther some concept of a remodelledstate whose policy. if it were made plainto us, we should repudiate with all theenergy of which we are capable.

Those of von who can remember thelast WHr will recall how women workerswere used in the struggle a=ainst TradesUnionism to reduce the barnainimDower of men so that thev were forcedto accent lower wages. This is perhapsH. crude and simple asnect of the question.h'lt it illustrates clearly how unscrup-·ulous powers may use women for

The fundamental idea to bear inmind is that while assisting in the mainobjective of bringing the maximumpressure to bear on Germany, we do notat the same time fight some other warin which we have not enlisted and ofwhose existence even we may be barelyconscious. "

Your first step is toexplain to the members the real situationwhich is so clear to yourself, and thenleave it to them to form their ownjudgment.

The ResultIn the minds of some readers there

appears to be a doubt as to what ismeant by the references to the policypursued by Jewry. It may make thematter a little clearer if a few instancesare introduced. The statement thatthere is a world plot headed by a smallnumber of international Jews for thecomplete domination of the world isbased on circumstantial evidence only.There is, however, evidence that in thehighest seats of control are to be foundcertain Jews who undoubtedly wieldgreat power in the financial world. Thereis also the evidence of statements ma lethroughout history by prominent Jewspromising Jewry as a whole that theywill ultimately inherit the earth. Allthis is relatively vague and it is just aswell to consider the more immediate, ifsimilar results of this policy.

There are a number of industries,most of which were originally createdand carried on and controlled by Gentilecraftsmen and managers. For instance,it is well known that the tailoring tradeis practically a monopoly of the Jews.Textiles and more recently timber, areothers. There are several otherinstances. What appears to: haveoccurred is that certain Jews have strivento rise in these industries. In thisrespect they are no different to theGentiles. As soon, however, as a keyposition is reached, he can then use thepower given him by occupying thatposition, in helping other Jews to rise,not on their merit or capacity but for themere fact that they are Jews. In this waythere has occurred a steady infiltrationinto these industries without it becomingapparent that the Gentile was losingcontrol to the Jew. Owing to theconsistency with which this assistance toother Jews has been given, the controlhas gradually passed to Jews. TheGentile, with quite negligible exceptionsdoes not discriminate against any par-ticular race, creed or class. For instancethe Englishman does not make it apractice, because he is an Englishman todiscriminate say, the Welsh, theRoman Catholics or the Liberals. Jews,however, have with few exceptionscarried out this deliberate discriminationagainst non-Jews. It is this fact whichrenders them parasitic to the nation onwhich they descend. It is this factwhich has made them hated and perse-cuted wherever the success of thisdiscrimination has reached certainproportions.

of a PolicyThe lack of discrimination in the

normal Gentile is so inborn that theGentile is not conscious of the lack nordoes he readily grasp the possibility ofdiscrimination in others. There is, forinstance, a fact which is quite evident incities like London. The number ofJews who, starting with nothing, succeedafter 15 years or so in being comfortablyoff while in fact producing no goods orservices at all is remarkable. On in-vestigation it is found that they are ableto obtain from banks 100 per cent. ormore advances with which to buyproperty. The Gentile is not granted a100 per cent. overdraft in such circum-stances. The explanation put forwardis invariably that the difference betweenthe normal advance and the 100 per cent.is covered by personal guarantee. Whatis the fund or who are the persons givingthis personal guarantee remains amystery. Whereas people who come incontact with this particular ramp canimmediately call to mind a large numberof Jews who by these means, viz. buyingand selling property on entirely borrowedmoney, sometimes converting propertyinto flats and invariably charging highrents, they have never heard of the samefacilities being granted a Gentile. Thisis merely one of the mysteries that wouldbe inexplicable without the existence ofa definite policy among Jewry to elevatethe Jews into a world aristocracy. Thereare, of course, Jews who refuse to sub-scribe to this policy. Usually theysuffer for their heterodoxy.

On the other hand the discrimina-tion against non-Jews is so natural andinborn in the majority of Jews, thatdespite all the evidence, they appear torefuse to believe it. It has becomesecond nature with them and for thatreason in a way invisible. It is strangethat intelligent Jews to whom this matteris put, refuse to see in it a friendlywarning and immediately start the cryof anti-semitism. If there is discrim-ination now or in the near future againstJews in this country, they will probablyno more realise that it is a naturalreaction to their own policy than theyhave realised it in Germany. Therecan be very few Gentiles to whom adiscrimination against the Jews is nc trepugnant. That does not, however,mean that the Gentile will not reach a

.point at which he realises that it hasbecome inevitable.

The- Jewish Fraud on Christianity (II)I have received from a New Zealand correspondent a transcript of a letter

from Mde. H. P. Blavatsky to her cousin, Mdlle. Fadeef, written from the UnitedStates in 1877. It possesses high intrinsic interest, but in addition, illuminatesthe organic relationship between the incorporation of the so-called Old Testamentinto the Christian Churches, and the breakdown, alike of those Churches, and theeconomic and social systems of which they have been the apologists.

It has frequently been said, without carrying much conviction, that Christ-ianity has not failed; it has never been tried. It is my own opinion, whichappears to obtain support from the extracts which follow, that it never can betried until the cancerous philosophy, which has been grafted upon it has beencut out, and its idolaters exposed to the contempt which they deserve.

C. H. D.

There has been no Jewish nationuntil the second century B.C. ; all theirbooks are apocryphal.

Where are the historic documents toprove that their books are original?Which is the first sacred Jewish book ofnote? The Septuagint. It was trans-lated by order of Ptolemy by 70translators; who mentions it? OnlyJosephus the writer, who upholds theJews with all his might and is a greatliar. Why is this story of the 70translators never mentioned in any oook,neither by Greek writers, nor in anyarchives or documents? Who betterthan the Greeks and Romans could havemade' known the deeds of Ptolemy?

If all the divines of the whole worldunited yet they never would find in anybook, or in any record a single word onthe "Jews as a nation?" Who has everheard it. spoken of? Herodotus, themost exact writer, traveller, historian,whose every word, every indication isnow confirmed by archaeology, paloeol-ogy, philosophy and all the sciences wasborn in 484 .B.C., he travelled inAssyria and in Babylonia during the lifeof Cyrus. It is only half a century afterthe transformation of Nabuchodouosorinto a bull by the prophet Daniel; during7 years that king bellowed -like a bull;42,000 Jews under the guidance ofZorababel, returned to Jerusalem (538

B.C. note the date) after their excile tobuild a temple; Herodotus resided therefor a few years; now, he, who describedso minutely and often with such bother-some detail the reign of Nabuchodousor(584 B.C.) after Jerusalem had beentaken by him, who wrote of Cyrus,Darius and Artaxerxes, does not alludeto this transport of the Jews, to theprophets, nor to any Jew whatsoever.*

Except for a few lines where hementions that the Syrians inhabitingPalestine, have learned the practice ofcircumcision from the Egyptians-nothing more. Is this possible?

An event like the metamorphosis ofa king into a bull by the chief of theMagians-Daniel, would not this at leasthave been described by other historiansas a legend?

Why, if Judah was a nation whereSolomon, David, Saul and all those hadreigned, is there nowhere in the worldan ancient coin with a Hebrew inscrip-tion-that is Hebrew coins, althoughthere are a number of Samaritan coins?Would the Jews who hated the Samari-tans have consented to use the coins oftheir enemies and would they not havecoined their own money?

Coins, thousands of years old, arefound again and again, tombs of thosewho have lived before Moses, -have been

opened and some small indication isfound confirming their existence. Butof the Jewish nation-nothing. Neithertombs, nor coins-nothing. It is as ifall had evaporated and had disappearedby magic. Only the Sacred Booksremain (the God of which has beenkilled by the Jews) in which mankindmust believe blindly. But of suchevents as the exodus from Egypt bynearly 3 million people (as compared tothe 70 taken by Jacob 150 years earlier-that means that they have multipliedquicker than red herrings-think thisout according to statistical law!) surelyof such events some trace would havebeen found on monuments for the dead,on tombs or in some ancient scripts.And there is nothing-dead silence!

And then as to the Scriptures-where is historical confirmation of theirexistence 200 or even 150 years B.c.?

The, Hebrew language that is theuniversal language, called old Hebrew,has never existed, it is a language with-out a single original root; it is a languagecomposed from Greek, Arabic, andChaldean parts. I have proved this toProf. Rawson of Yale College.

Take any Hebrew word whatso-ever 'and I shall prove to you that itsroot is Arabic, Greek or Chaldean.

It is like a harlequin's coat. Allthe biblical names are composed offoreign words and they indicate whythey have thus been composed. It isan Arabic-Ethiopian dialect with amixture of Chaldean and the Chaldeancomes from Sanskrit.

It has been proved that Babyloniaat one time was inhabited by Brahminsand was a school for Sanskrit.

It is ridiculous to demand to believethat the Hebrew manuscripts are ancientrevelations of the Word of God.

God would never have written nordictated anything that would giveoccasion at the same time for the earthcreated by Him, mankind, science, etc.,to accuse Him of falsehood.

To believe absolutely in the Jewishscriptures and to believe at the sametime in the Heavenly Father of Jesus isabsurd, it is worse, it is sacrilege.

If the Father of Heaven and Earth,and the Father of the whole unlimitedUniverse had had to write, He would nothave allowed mankind to be obliged toaccuse Him of contradictions, which areoften without sense.

64,900 mistakes have been actuallypointed out in the Bible by a "revision"

OVERRIDING

On October 5th, Mr. Geoffrey Faber, in a letter pub-lished by The Times told the story of the last few weeks:

"It begins with compulsory expenditure on A.R.P.-. . . It goes on with compulsory insurance, in cash and inadvance, against war risks for all traders owning morethan £1,000 worth of goods at an arbitrary rate ofpremium, which in many cases exceeds their possiblepeace-time profits. Simultaneously, voluntary and com-pulsory evacuation empties the great shopping centres, andleaves the most efficient retailing organizations high anddry. At the same moment the black-out begins itsdeadening influence, the full extent of which will beapparent when the winter closes in. A few days latercomes the discovery that customer after customer has losta considerable part of his income; while at the other endof the industrial chain begins a creeping rise in costs . . .which threatens rapidly to become a gallop. On the topof all rides the Budget, imposing, without notice, a liabilityupon the ordinary income-tax payer which if he hasresponsibilities to others besides himself-he cannotconceivably meet out of his income . . . "

The leader writers of The Times found in such con-ditions matter for grave concern. On October 20th (froma slightly different angle regarding the comandeering ofhotels) :

"It is only fair to say that Mr. Ramsbotham and hisstaff (Office of Works) are only the instruments not theauthors of this policy, .. It seems quite impossible to fixthe ultimate responsibility for the action taken in anyparticular case."

On October 23rd:"Special hospitals stand empty, physicians and

surgeons of world-wide repute are idle; the victims ofdiseases . ; . are at their wits end to find relief. Theseprotests have failed to soften the asperity of official rule.The laws of the Ministry of Health possess, apparently,something of the immutable quality of those of the Medesand Persians."

And a few days later:"The activities of the Ministry of Information have

brought home to the public that not all the minds whichhad done the pre-war planning were divinely inspired."

(Whose minds is not pursued, and the exceptions are notstated! )

This inadequately represents the present dislocationwhich lays down lines which if pursued must bring theprogressive destruction of society as we know it. Thebreaking up of family life, the throwing of the middleclass and professional men into the trough of urgentpoverty; the drawing in of these unfortunates as cogs inthe machine of this or that Ministry; the disappearance ofsmall individual businesses, and their absorption into"department stores"; the lines are set for that, and more.The Times is concerned, and so sets forth what should bedone; another Authoritarian Body is, it seems, required:

"It is clear therefore, that there must exist somewherea central authority, possessed of a perfectly definiteeconomic policy and empowered to exercise an overridingcontrol. Technically such a responsibility belongs to theWar Cabinet; and this is another reason why the membersof that body should be freed so far as possible from ad-

ministrative routine. Meanwhile the function ofcoordination and of central control of policy has beenentrusted to two Committees, the one a Ministerial Com-mittee under the CHANCELLORof the EXCHEQUER,and theother a Committee composed of the permanent heads ofDepartments under the chairmanship of LORD STAMP,who is also Economic Adviser to the MinisterialCommittee."

"Times" Leader, October 19th.It is interesting to note that the "administrative routine"

from which the War Cabinet is to be relieved is the "centralcontrol of policy." It seems likely that the leader writerhas slipped-these phrases are too close together. Hecontinues:

"There must be some authority, as SIR WILLIAMBEVERIDGEhas pointed out, to weigh one against the otherthe uneconomic requirements of war and the economicrequirements of living, and to combine the tasks ofproviding the instruments of war and the sinews of war."

In whom is to be centred this authority?Sir John Simon (in Committee) advised by LORD

STAMP.The Heads of Departments under the Chairmanship of

LORD STAMP.In U.S.A. during the last war, it was precisely such

decisions that rested with Mr. Bernard Baruch. At aState enquiry he was asked:

"Ana all those lines really ultimately centred in you.so far as power was concerned?"

And he replied:"Yes, sir, it did. I suppose I was the most powerful

man in the United States during the war."This "Economic Command" is evidently considered

urgent, for on October 24th, the suggestion is furtherpressed and is up-graded:

"Even now, though the Government have givenofficial status to an Economic Adviser, the economicinterests of the nation and the economic strategy of thewar are not specifically represented in the Cabinet . . .It seems to follow that an ideal arrangement . . . wouldcharge a special member of the War Cabinet with ... acoherent economic policy . . . An Economic Adviser mustbe equipped with the necessary staff ... and be capableof initiative in planning and direction. And the Adviserhimself should have a place in the Government which willgive to economic planning its rightful representation inthe war strategy."

Perhaps it is just another idle chance that the writerdid not happen, in this leader, to mention the name of theEconomic Adviser.

The criticism to which The Times gives so sympathetica voice is directed against the effect, on people and theiraffairs, of bureaucratic control; but it is noticeable that theonly action recommended is not concerned with the existenceor reduction of such controls, but with the question offinancial allocation as between them. Is it possible thatthe leader writer lost his way; and just forgot the point ofhis previous remarks? Or is it that he finds himself inharmony .with those exceptional minds whose planning is,

Page 8 THE SOCIAL CREDITER November 4th, 1939.

"divinely" inspired?In concluding his letter Mr. Faber (before quoted) says:

"Is the record of the Government and of its indiv-idual members. such as to justify unquestioning confidencein their dictatorship? For dictatorship it is, even if thedictatorship turns out on examination to be not one butseveral ... "

In effect the proposals envisaged by The Times wouldunify this "Dictatorship."

The essence of the position is that, faced by a majorwar, the action of individuals does require unification; andwith very few exceptions each and every citizen is willingand eager to put the best of what is in him into this effort.

What is the best which is in him? It is his ownpersonal initiative, backed by whatever energies, under-standing or technique he may have; and the proper objectof organisation is to bring this initiative into alignment inthe common aim. To do this it is not necessary to wreckthe structure of normal industry and business. No one(and most certainly not any Government Department) canproduce so well as those who do produce; no one canprovide distribution, transport, information, etc., so efficientlyas those whose lives are occupied with such services. Toruin large sections of our population and to re-absorb theminto vast institutions where they will be smothered in thejargon of official procedure is to reduce and not increaseefficiency. That hardly needs argument.

There is one consideration which is a key to each partand to the whole. It is the realistic understanding andpractice of finance. The limitations imposed by the presentfinancial system on the development of the full pressurewhich this country can exert, amount to a betrayal of itscitizens. Further, the burdens imposed in the taxation anddebt which is inherent in this system are the principal dis-integrating factors which threaten the individual morale uponwhich all else depends: burdens which are illusory and

which can be dispersed upon demand.The Economic Adviser should above all, be seized with

the knowledge that finance is the Servant of the nationaleffort, and not its master. That whatever (e.g., within theresources of our Empire) is physically possible is necessarilyfinancially possible; that those who are free, free from debt;and who have faith, faith in their own Credit; are those whowill fight for freedom and faith; and will never let go.

Lord Stamp has other ideas set forth in a commendablyoutspoken address.

"We have seen in a few years that the human orsocial temperament has a much wider range of tolerancethan we had supposed ... Direct Taxation thirty years ago. . . seemed to reach a breaking point and was regarded aspsychologically unbearable at levels which to-day aremerely amusing ... there can be little doubt that with theright application of experimental psychology and adjustededucation, the mind of man would be still more adaptable."

There is no need to point those remarks. They were-made by the man whom The Times would have placed incharge of an authority "empowered to exercise an over-riding control."

Since 1936, when the above remarks were made in anaddress to the British Association, Lord Stamp may havebecome just like a cooing dove; others may have noticed it.But it is certain that nothing could be better calculated toinduce civil disturbance or indeed civil war-than the "right

,application of experimental psychology" towards the. extraction of the maximum taxes from the British Public.

Whether the war is won or whether it is lost-taxationand debt in eternal crescendo! The hypnotic belief whichseems to make this condition inevitable (or "natural"?) doesnot alter' the realities of human nature and its physicalenvironment which that system obscures. It is from thatlevel and on that firm foundation that the Alternative willarise.

THE RIGHT

)

All social crediters must have meton many occasions that stone-wallattitude, either stated or implied, "Well!We have all a right to our own opinions."

In these days, when action of adirectly useful kind seems to be deniedus for the time being, most of us areconscious that it is but a lull before themovement plunges ahead with renewedactivity. Although it is true that it isaction, directed and deliberate, whichmust produce results, it is equally truethat all action has its roots in thethoughts of men and the action will behealthy and well-directed if the rootsare healthy. Most of us in the move-ment have, no doubt, a well definedobjective in our minds which we woulddescribe as the "freedom of the individ-ual" but our success or failure dependson our making an accurate estimate ofthe factors and forces opposed to us aswell as conveying the conception offreedom which we know well will beacceptable to nearly all men.

If it is necessary to excuse thesubject further, there is a quotation fromVoltaire to the effect that there willalways be wars as long as men holdimpossible beliefs.

A recent conversation suggested thatthe idea "that everyone has a right tohis opinion" was worth turning inside-out for a thorough examination.

Now the "right to an opinion"carries, or should carry, an importantqualification: it is that it, the opinion,must be consistent with known andavailable facts. It follows that if thefacts on which an opinion is based areshown to be wrong then it is intellectu-ally dishonest to hold that opinion anylonger and we should be prepared toadmit we were wrong and alter theopinion so that it is consistent with thenew information.

The "right to an opinion" isassociated with personal freedom, but anypractical definition of freedom mustcarry a limiting condition, otherwise itbecomes license. A good workingdefinition of freedom is "The maximumfreedom for the individual consistentwith the freedom of his neighbour." Ifwe alter this definition slightly, substit-uting "with the freedom of his neigh-bour" by "with the facts or what arebelieved to be the facts", we have a gooddefinition for intellectual freedom.

In the simple matters of everydaylife, these general truths are instinctive

TO ONE'S OWNBy P. R. MASSON

knowledge and recognized as thoroughlypractical. A man who holds the opinionthat the London train leaves at 8 onlymisses it once and alters his opinion justas soon as he learns that it leaves tenminutes before the hour.

In matters of taste the impliedcondition of consistency with facts stillholds; one man may hold the opinionthat mountaineering is the best way ofoccupying his leisure; if he spends mostof his spare time either preparing for orpractising the pastime then it is anhonest opinion. But if it is noticedthat he professes a great love for moun-taineering but takes good care not to gomountaineering very often or veryenthusiastically then the honesty of theopinion may be doubted.

It is true, unfortunately, that muchmust be taken for granted; the individualhas not time in which to study andverify every fact on which an opinionis based, Most of us probably holdopinions several of which are known tobe fallacies by those who have hadgreater opportunity to study the partic-ular subject concerned. This seemsunavoidable but, fortunately, it dees notmatter very much as long as we areprepared to investigate and verify beforeassuming responsibility for any actionwhich can possibly influence the livesand well-being of our fellows. Mostof us take such facts as that the Earthis round and the Earth revolves roundthe Sun in good faith knowing that thescience of navigation is framed on theseassumptions and navigation seems to"work". But if numerous and repeatedand unaccountable wrecks occurred weshould have an individual responsibilityin investigating the matter and findingout just who it was who controlled theschools, the examinations and the lawsaffecting navigation. This mayseem like a high flight of imagination,but if it is possible to conceive of sucha predicament (actually comparable withthe state of affairs in the financial world)then it would not be possible to devolveindividual responsibility if we wished toavoid the punishment and penaltiesinherent in all false reasoning.

If these general observations beaccepted it is possible to apply them tothe realms of religion. economics,finance and politics and it should beevident that the troubles of mankindhave their roots in wrong opinions mthese subjects which have the greatest

influence both on the actions and on thelives and happiness of individuals. Ourlaws and finance impose taxation, whichis now about one-third our total incomeand "religion" preaches "duty" in termswhich make the application not tooclear.

The importance of correct opinions(consistent with the facts) in thesesubjects seems to be confirmed andestablished by a recent report "Com-mittee on Nutrition in the ColonialEmpire" and by the blunt comment in acontemporary journal which states:"It seems that this plague of poverty,accompanied by malnutrition spreadswherever the benefit of 'civilisation' andChristianity have penetrated."

It may be conceded that there maybe certain religious beliefs which areincapable of disproof and which can beheld legitimately just as long as theyare held consistently and as long as theydo not influence action affecting thewell-being and freedom of others. Butit is probably correct to say that thereis much confusion of so-called"religious freedom" with something akinto intellectual license. Beliefs whichdull the sense of individual responsibilityshould always be worth close scrutiny.

The overwhelming importance of therecent evidence published in this journaland elsewhere on the Jewish question,and particularly the historical evidencerelating to the activities of certain Jewishfamilies and their influence in finance,politics and even in religion and thesources of information to the public, liesin that it has proved beyond anypossibility of doubt that they haveshown a remarkable ingenuity inpoisoning the roots of honest thoughtby spreading false and unjustifiableopinions ready made-while suppressingmuch relevant information-under sucndis-arming phrases as "sound finance","religious freedom", "democracy","freedom of the press", "free trade","free speech", and "everyone has a rightto his opinion." Even "charity" hasbeen prostituted so that much so-calledcharity is but hidden taxation. Evenif it were possible to hold any otheropinion on the matter of responsibilityit is not possihle to hold an honestopinion other than that this subtle per-version of terms, p;ood in themselves, toevil ends has been disastrous to thehappiness and well being of the bulk ofmankind.

THE POLICY OF THE JEWISH R._t\CEThere is no problem the solution of which is more vital to civilisation than the "Jewish Problem." The Jewish

race is unique: its members seem to have behaved with consistency throughout thousands of years.The nature of the results produced by this behaoiour forms the policy of the race, which is the expression in

practice of its philosophy; and the effect of that policy on other peoples is what has built up the "Jewish Question."This is one of a series of articles giving an account of the relations of Jewry with some other cultures.

It is taken largely from Jewish sources, and therefore presents the policy of the '[ezoish race according to its ownrecords. It is NOT an assessment of the success or otherwise of the policy disclosed.

11a. THE HOUSES OF ROTHSCHILD,MONTEFIORE, JOSEPH, SOLOMON and

SASSOON [The British Empire].

"The spread of the Empire", says the EncyclopaediaBrittanica "is a matter of relatively modern history." Inthis history "the most important stage was the changefrom colonies into Dominions. By this means colonieswhich in their separate existence had been small andweak, like unco-ordinated English counties, attained a sizeand strength which made them at least potentially com-parable to the mother-country."

"In 1867 the four chief North American provinces ontheir own initiative but with full consent in Britain con-stituted themselves a federation under the title of Dom-inion of Canada, hence the modern use of the word'Dominion'. "

DOMINION OF CANADA.Jewish Encyclopaedia:

"The earliest authentic records of the Jews in Canadago back to the period when England and France wereengaged in the final contest for the mastery of theNorthern part of the New World ... While the batteriesof Wolfe were thundering at the gates of Quebec, Amhurstwas closing in on Montreal with an army from the south.Among the members of his staff was commissary AaronHart, an English Jew born in London in 1727.

"The Jewish community of Montreal soon founditself strong enough to organize a congregation in 1768. . . in 1777 the members built their own synagogue on alot belonging to David David."?

During the following years the families of Solomonsand Joseph [closely related to the Seixas and Nathanfamilies of New York] played a leading part in the develop-ment of Canadian trade; and at the beginning of the newcentury, more than a generation earlier than in the mothercountry, Canadian Jews were ready for the fight for political

.emancipation:"In 1807 Ezekiel Hart . . . was elected to represent

Three Rivers in the legislature. This at once raised thequestion of the civil status of the Jews in Canada ...when the legislative assembly re-assembled on January29th, 1808, Ezekiel Hart declined to be sworn in accord-ing to the usual form 'on the faith of a Christian' but tookthe oath according to Jewish custom with his headcovered. At once a storm of opposition arose . . . themajority decided that he was not entitled to take his seatand declared for expulsion . . . Notwithstanding the ad-verse vote of the majority Hart vigorously protestedagainst this and attempted to vote during several of the

divisions. The house proposed passing a bill to put hisdisqualification as a Jew beyond doubt ... this arousedthe indignation of the Governor, Sir James Craig who wasalready in conflict with the assembly and ... he dissolvedthe chamber before the bill could pass."

"Years of agitation followed ... on March 16th,1831 a bill was introduced in the' legislative Assemblyextending the same political rights to the Jews as toChristians . . . "

"A number of Montreal Israelites won distinction inpublic life, notably . . . Jesse Joseph, son of Joseph ofBerthier, one of Canada's merchant princes, who gainedprominence as the organiser and director of many of themost important Canadian public companies. and instit-utions. His brother Jacob was connected with thepromotions of early Canadian railways and telegraphiclines, and another brother was the first Hebrew lawyerappointed a Queen's counsel in Canada."

"The discovery of gold in British Columbia in 1857led to the settlement of a Hebrew colony which built a ~synagogue in Victoria in 1862 ... "2

And then, in 1867, we have 'the important change' fromcolony to Dominion. "The provinces existing or createdlater," the Encyclopaedia Brittanica continues, "all joined theFederation in due course. Newfoundland has chosen toremain separate. For various local reasons the other groupsof colonies were slow to follow Canada's lead. TheCommonwealth of Australia was not created till 1900 andthe Union of South Africa not till 1909. The Dominionof New Zealand ... obtained a unitary constitution in 1870."

THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA.

"In more sense than one it has been a land of sun-shine to the Jews. Australia offered its great undevelop-ed resources to all who were willing to develop them.Many Jews embraced the opportunity and prospered.Industry has been largely developed by them."

"The foremost among the Jews that have figured aspioneers in Australia is Jacob Montefiore, a cousin of SirMoses Montefiore [brother-in-law of Nathan Rothschild].South Australian history records him as one of the found-ers of the colony and he was selected by the BritishGovernment on the first Board of Commissionersappointed in 1835 to conduct its affairs ... JacobMontefiore's activity was not confined to South Australia.With his brother Joseph he gave impetus to and left hisimpress upon the progress of New South Wales. Jacobowned one of the largest sheep-runs in the colony and formany years acted as director of the Bank of Australia." \,

1892 was due to the great influx of people after thediscovery of gold in the nineties . . . each of the coloniesexcept that of South Australia has witnessed the rise andthe fall of a congregation . . . perhaps the shortest careerwas that of the Coolgardie community in WesternAustralia. In 1896 a number of Jews attracted by therich goldfields were in that city. They at once obtaineda grant of land from the government . . . and forthwithproceeded to build a synagogue. Within three years,however, such a thinning out had taken place that theremaining members were unable to pay the debt on thesynagogue and the building was sold by the creditors toa Masonic body and converted into a Masonic Hall."

"Jews have been mayors of nearly all the capitalcities of Australia as well as of many of the smaller towns... the title of Justice of the Peace has been gained by anexceptionally large number of Jews, as many as thirteenreceiving that distinction at one time. Sir John Vogel,whose history, however, belongs to New Zealand was alsoa premier for many years."?

The Jewish Encyclopaedia was written in 1904 so wewill let the Encyclopaedia of 'jewish Knowledge (1933)finish the story:

"A considerable number of Jews were members of theprovincial parliaments and are now seated in the Federalparliament. The Jews were particularly active in theFederalisation of Australia and this perhaps contributedto the personal success of men like Sir Isaac Isaacs whohas held every possible governmental post and is now(1933) Governor General by the vote of the Common-wealth, and of Sir John Monash the leading Jewish generalin the Allied Armies during the world war."

DOMINION OF NEW ZEALAND.The Jewish Yearbook, 1939, states:

"The settlement of Jews in New Zealand dates fromthe establishment of British Sovereignty in 1840.Among the first emigrants were John Israel Montefiore,a cousin of the famous Anglo-Jewish philanthropist [SirMoses Montefiore] who settled in Bay of Islands in 1831.

Jewish Encyclopaedia:"During the Maori war Jews were found in the

British ranks. When trouble broke out in Samoa betweenthe British blue-jackets and the natives three Aucklandcompanies offered their services to the Imperial govern-ment, two of three captains being Jews.

"It was not until the seventh decade of the 19thcentury when gold was discovered in the Otago district thatJews were drawn to New Zealand in considerablenumbers.

"The Jews in New Zealand have never aggregatedmore than 1,600 individuals but in spite of this fact theyhave assisted in shaping the country's policy. In thisrespect the most notable was Sir Julius Vogel who atvarious times held the portfolios of colonial treasurer,commissioner for stamps and customs and postmaster-general. He served as premier from 1876 to 1881 ....to him also is due the establishment of the San Franciscoand New Zealand Mail Service and the completion ofthe London and New Zealand cable, the system ofgovernmental life insurance and the creation of the PublicTrust Offices. Vogel acquired half proprietorship ofthe Otago Witness.

"He started and for many years edited the first daily

Newspaper in New Zealand The Daily Times. [MarkCohen is president of the New Zealand Institute ofJournalists, the New Zealand Referee is managed byPhineas Selig, and another Jew, Markus Marks is thehead of the Hansard Staff.]"

"The New Zealand Shipping Company was foundedby the brothers Edward and Henry Isaacs. The firstdirector of the Marnawatu Railway Company was JosephNathan. "2

Rides low through mists, as though he lacked thestrength

To raise himself and foilow through it's lengthThe course that he the summer past has run.

Across the fields where reapers worked of late,The farmer guides his plough with steady hand.Now -dusk falls early- on the cooling land,

And cheerful fires leap within the grate.

All nature takes the sweet reward of sleep,Only unhappy mortals restless keep.

Who dwell in towns know Autumn but by name.The crop they reap has no appointed time,Nor needs the sun to bring it to its prime.

All seasons to their golden increase are the same.

What is the seed, or harvest-time to thoseWho labour thus, denying Nature's sway?Who turn the day to night, and night to day,

And know not quiet work or sweet repose?

They soil with smoke the heaven's lovely face,And spurn the gifts each season has to bring.Yet every year is born again the Spring.

The fruitful sun runs his appointed race.
