in the tasks or administration she
ha3 had no chance to turn back
and has been going in deeper
year by year.
Colonel Lawrence, an agnostic
possessing to a marked degree
he power of handling a fanati
cal race, played during the war
the game of tribal and religious
influence in Arabia with consum
mate skill. His policy was to
capture the affections and ntlize
the fervor of the Bedouins. Since
he has retired from Arabian af
fairs England has entered upon
a bolder policy of penetration in
to Mohammedanism. 'Xot( con
tent with holding its shrines and
with the overlordship of a vast
majority of its devotees, she has
set out to capture the Caliphate,
or supreme authority, of the en
tire Mohammedan world. Tak
ing no chances, she is secretly
backing with vast sums both of
the leading aspirants to that high
position
The situation In India, which is
really tied" up with the Moham
medan problem in Arabia, is also
a delicate one for England as re
gards Buddhism. She Is encour
aging Buddhists who place em
phasis on the transcendental,
other world aspects of religion,
but is trying to cull from among
the leaders of India those who
wsnt to drag religion Into ooll-

' The public statement by the conference of American
Jewish organizations in answer to charges based on a mys
terious document termed The protocols of the elders of
'ZioiT ought to have a salutary effect in offsetting its vic
ious libels. The thesis which the "protocols" are assumed to
support, that the Jews have been for centuries and are now
engaged in a conspiracy for world domination, is absurd on
ft tar. ThA extremitv to which the slanderers are driven
in support of their attempt to quicken anti-Semitism is fairly
illustrated by their charge that Russian bolshevism is a man
ifestation of the power of the alleged conspiracy. j
' It is significant, as the statement points out, that one of
thP norsnns enmured in the circulation of the "protocols" was
a participant in the prosecution in Russia seven years ago of not want religion brought into

turies by non-Jewish authorities, including czars and popes, win give it a personally conducted
The storm of indignation which was aroused throughout the
world by that revival of a malicious and cruel slander seems
to have given it its quietus. The new. slander is better calcu
lated, perhaps, to meet the psychology of a world in turmoil.
The Vprotocols," as the Jewish conference statement ex
Dlain3."wer4 clandestinely circulated in typewritten form dur
ing the war among public officials and others, carefully se
lected, "fori the purpose of giving rise to the belief that the
Jews, in conjunction with Freemasons, had been for centur
ies engaged in a conspiracy to produce revolution and anarchy,
by means of which they hoped to attain the control of the
world by" the establishment of some sort of despotic rule."
Some months ago the document appeared in print in England
and later in the United States. Henry Ford's paper, the
Dearborn Independent, has been drawing inspiration front
the document for a series of attacks upon the Jews.
;; The alleged authority for the document Is one Serge Nit
lus, a Russian, who says that he received it in 1901 from
a Russian officeholder, who claimed to have obtained it in
a mysterious way", from a woman, whose name is not men
tioned. No names were signed to the document, but Nilus
charges that it was approved at the first Zionist congress inwarks of its j.
lts'jf Dy tne Zionist representatives 01 me ira aegree 01
initiation." This seems to be a clumsy attempt to connect
the Freemasons with the conspiracy. The sessions of the
Zionist congress were open and public and there was no 33rd
degree or any other "degree of initiation" to its membership.
The slightest familiarity with Jewish history and the
opinions and motives of Jewish leaders is sufficient to con
demn the document and its promulgators as cruel libelers of
the Jewish people. The appeal is to the ignorant and the
prejudiced, to the mob spirit. But even such an appeal can
only be met by the facts, by reason and by a counter appeal
to the love of justice and fair play.
No other nation ever ruled
n.any peoples so successfully as
England has. Rome, for in
stance, ursi Drougm home as
trophies the idols of the nations
she conquered and then had to
send out all of her available sol
oiers to maintain her arrogant
rule and even then she did not
?ena enougn. England uses not
or-ly the superstitions but also the
Kldiers and the officials of other
races as her tools.
The Roman empire never really
had a religion and therefore dealt
with the superstitions of the van
4ulshed with fatally brutal Indif
rerence. The British empire has
as many religions as its subjects
hold to and has made the god

that every gamblinz game ought to be suppressed, and that
the dry laws ought to be enforced, no matter how high or how
low cleaning up processes may hit. A law breaker is a law
