Against DictatorshipSomething is terribly wrong. Inall history you cannot find so greata gap as we have here betweenwhat is and what could be. In-escapable poverty we will enclure,but escapable poverty is achallenge to freedom. If freedomcannot get us security, it cannotprevail. Fascism will replace it.

An economic system designedin the age of scarcity, with profits,not prosperity, as its purpose,cannot work in the age of plentyand must be reformed, he said.

. Canadian democracy hasbroken down. Its form remains.The substance has been lost .. Onlyparliament can reform the economicsystem, yet parliament doesnothing because it is controlled byreaction and is not free to serve thepeople.

•Finance for Democracy

The New Democracy stands forthe security of the people and forthe attainment of that security bythe .effective means provided withthe capitalist system.

It stands for production for use,and for distribution upon the basisof our capacity to produce.

I t stands for such reforms ofthe system as will bring productionand distribution into balance upona Christian level. It stands forthat measure of control of the Bankof Canada and the bankinginstitutions which will equip themto achieve that purpose."

•The above extracts are from

the report of the speech whichappeared in the Edmonton Bulletin,_Alay 4th, 1939.

Great Cities"A Great City, whose image

dwells in the memory of man, isthe type of some great idea. Romerepresents conquest, Faith hoversover the towers of Jerusalem; andAthens embodies the pre-eminentquality of the antique world, Art.

In modern ages, Commerce hascreated London; while Manners, inthe most comprehensive sense ofthe word, have long found a sup-reme capital in the airy andbright-minded city of the Seine.

What Art was to the ancientworld, Science is to the modern:the distinctive faculty. In theminds of men the useful has suc-ceeded to the beautiful. Instead.of the city of the Violet Crown, aLancashire village has expandedinto a mighty region of factoriesand warehouses. Yet, rightlyunderstood, Manchester is as great.a human exploit as Athens."

CORRESPOINDENCELetters to the Editor of"The Social Crediter"

War and the Christian

Sir,Mr. Norman F. Webb in your

issue of May 6, quotes certainwords from my book War and theChristian, states that these wordsrepresent my views-views whichhe then castigates.

In fact the passage quotedoccurs on p. 120 of the book, that isin the chapter in which I am givingthe anti-pacifist position. They donot represent my own convictionsbut those of my opponents. Mr.Webb has ascribed to me opinionswhich in the book I renounce andrefute at some length. He owesme an unqualified apology.

Charles E. Raven.Christ's College, Cambridge;May, 1939.

Dear Sir,Canon Raven has asked for an

apology from me for deliberatelymisrepresenting his personal viewsin my review of his book "War andthe Christian" in vour issue of May6th. -

Canon Raven assures me thathe stands neither for the League,nor for Collective Security.

Having carefully re-read hisbook 1 find that his request isjustified, and I would like to makemy apology to him.

To say more than that in aletter of this kind is usually to takeback with one hand what one hasgiven with the other, so I willcontent myself wi th excepting theword "deliberate" from CanonRaven's complaint.

My article in itself standsexactly as it is, if one completelydissociates Canon Raven personallyfrom the Pacifist outlook dealtwith: I should indeed be sorry if Ithought I occupied your valuablespace for misrepresentations ofany kind whatsoever.

Yours, etc.,N. F. WEBB.

WEEKLY CIRCUMSTANC,EPalestine Argument

They dispute in Parliament-and elsewhere-about Palestine andthe Jews and the Arabs: the WhitePaper recently published proposesthat immigration of the Jews toPalestine should be strictly reg-ulated, to bring the Jewishpopulation to over 30 per cent. ofthe total population, and at the endof five years it should cease; at theend of ten years it is proposed thatPalestine becomes self-governing.Arabs are disatisfied because theattainment of self-government ispostponed for ten years, and Jewishimmigration continues, in somedegree, for half that time.

The Jews, the British Labourand Liberal parties and the forty-nine United States clergymen aredisatisfied because this breaks thedream of the Jewish National Home.

The Arabs are making it quiteclear that if the Jews want theirNational Home in Palestine theBritish, who promised it to themmust fight for it.

Are the Jews, the members ofthe British Labour and LiberalParties, the forty-nine UnitedStates clergymen willing to fightfor it?

"Peace itself is not an ideal,"said the Archbishop of Canterburyrecently. "Any peace that is worthhaving results from the attainmentof other ideals-justice, truth, goodfaith, and freedom."

It is high time we made up ourminds for what we each of us arewilling to lay down our lives.

For what predelictions would Isacrifice my life when it wascompletely unnecessary? I t isthe custom to do so for a principle.And the Principle behind the customis Idealism.

What principle?

To insist on the Jewish Homein Palestine to which the A rabs--the present majority-object?

Principle: Good faith of theBritish.

To prevent the Germans over-

)

runmng Poland by helping theRussians (traditional foes of the.Poles) annex Poland under thepretext of protecting it?

Principle: Liberty for the Poles.

It is not the soldiers that wantwar nowadays. Lord Castlerossewrote recently in an article in theEvening Standard:-

"Do you think these menwant war? Why, not one ofthem does. They abhor the idea,and with excellent reason.Soldiers know that the only typeof war for which there is anypossible excuse is a quick war,and men on the General Staff ofGermany, Britain and France areaware that a war to-day betweenthe opposing camps in Europewill be a long drawn out affair,ending in a disaster to all thoseengaged. Moreover, in futurewars the generals will also die.However strategically H.Q, isplaced, it will be within" thebombers' range. (They will alsoget the politicians, but theselatter have not realised this, ihcgenerals have)."

•Bye-Elections

In none of the recent bye-elections did the percentage ofelectors voting exceed SO per cent.In one case it was only 37 per cent.The reason has been judgedgeneraly to be the absence. of adefinite issue on which to vote; butexplicitly not apathy 6n the part ofelectors. But if 'apathy' is not,exactly, the feeling that there is noissue on which to vote whileproblems to be solved in associationare as plentiful in everyday life aspebbles on a beach-then what is it?

o

More Soviet RuleOn May 19th, 1939, smoke

signals rose from two newspapers.In The Times a leader dealt withthe proposals of the Minister ofAgriculture in the House for along-term agricultural policy. "Onthis occasion" said the writer, "he

dealt with sheep, barley, and oats,three products which have not beenunder the care of Commissions, orMarketing Boards; and it is under-stood that, when he produces hisomnibus Bill later in the Session, hehopes to give the producer moreeffective cover than they have yethad against low market prices."

In the Daily Express a leaderstated that "the Transport AdvisoryCouncil suggest lumping coastalshipping with road and rail trafficunder one Government Board."

Now we know what to expect.

These Soviet developments willcontinue until the people say "No".Till then Parliament will go on, nodoubt, cutting its own throat alongwith ours.

\Mrs. Palmer's PageCITIZENS

The Consultative Committee ofthe Board of Education has statedthat education for citizenship is ofthe first importance.

"All education should contri-bute to this end," says the Spensreport. "On the extent to whichthe youth of this country can befitted to fulfil later their dutiesand take advantage of theiropportunities as citizens of ademocratic state, may well turnthe future of democracy, and thatnot only in these islands."

For this reason the committeeurges that information should beimparted to the young "aboutnational and international affairs,and not least, about localgovernment."

(Preface, page xxxvii.)Aristotle asked whether edu-

cation should be directed mainlytowards intellectual discipline,character training, citizenship, ortowards technical purposes only.

Here is an authoritative reply,at last, but a reply given by experts,not by the people. I t is to betraining for citizenship.

The Spens report is alreadybeing acted upon, in good earnest.I have not so far been able todiscover that the ConsultativeCommittee has defined democracy,and the above quotation is wordedin such a way that the word"Fascist" or "Communist" COUld

quite easily be substituted for"democratic" without offending themost arrogant dictator.

However, let us see what isalready being done in the schoolsto implement the Spens Report.

The activities of some six orseven schools have been reported ina journal devoted to Local Gov-ernment. The fact has beendeplored that as many as 50 percent. of electors stav away from thepolls, and it is thought that thisapathy might be overcome ifcitizenship were made more"interesting."

An attempt is being made tobring the children into contact withthe everyday life of the boroughs.Young children are more interested

OFin people than in things, and sowhen a real fireman, sewerman,postman or tram driver is broughtinto the classroom, and they aretold that he has come to tell themabout l~is job and to answer asmany questions as they care to putto him, they are thrilled to themarrow. It is an experience thatthey never forget. The reportstates that this experiment givesthe children knowledge of theactualities of local society, and willdevelop a desire for more "knowledgeof local, national and internationalaffairs.

Children of eleven and twelvelearn the geography of the schooldistrict including historical andcivic topics.

"The local governmentorganisation takes its placealongside the railway system orthe water supply, and itsessential nature is shown inrelation to other aspects of thelife of the child's home district."At this stage can be included the"distribution of the methods ofstreet lighting, the organisationof refuse disposal, and anychanges in the map which areresulting from slum clearanceand rebuilding."

Later on they are given theopportunity of visiting the townhall and council offices, attending acouncil meeting, and of seeing thework being carried out at first

hand."They then dramatise what

they have seen, holding their ownelections, meeting to discusscurrent council problems, andplanning improvements in theirown districts."

Here are two extracts fromschool essays:

"I was bewildered by themagnificence of the councilchamber-it was glorious. Never _in my life have 1 witnessed suchan interesting ceremony, and Itrust I will see more of thecouncil chamber."

"I was very pleased athaving the honour of sitting inthe Mayor's chair, and I wish tothank those who were responsiblefor giving me the rare opportunityof seeing such an impressiveceremony."

Some of the lectures arrangedfor the older children included theproduction and distribution ofelectricity, the manufacture of gas,and water purification, and the useof water in fire prevention.

But better still:. "The borough treasurer ex-

plained demand notes, and in sodoing, gave another picture of theworking of the local authority. Inschool the correlated studv was themathematics of loans, sinking funds,redemption funds, and methods ofrepayment."

In Sheffield, in November, 1937,(note the date) thev had an essaycompetition for which more than4,000 children entered. One of thequestions to be answered was:

"What benefits do the people ofSheffield get in return for rates?

people see things more clearly, itwill have spread throughout thewhole educational system, andevery subject that is to be studiedwill probably be related not toindividual needs, but to the part theindividual is to Play in national life,a part that has already been"planned" for him.

What is this but planning forthe totalitarian state? It isobvious from the whole tenor ofthe articles I have read that thestate is considered of greater im-portance than the individualscomprising it. Yet individuals canget on very well without a nation,though a nation cannot existwithout individuals. The recog-nition of this fundamental truth-the supreme importance of the in-dividual is the basis of democracy.Any nation which does not recognisethis truth is not a democracy, nomatter what it may call itself. Thatis why there is hardly anything inthese articles I have been readingwhich would not have been equallyapproved of in a totalitarian state.

The well-meaning but misguid-ed efforts of teachers here isleading to exactly the same result.The work of the experts is beingexplained to the children in theminutest detail; this is very well asa matter of interest, but what ifwhen they become citizens theyconsider themselves fit to criticizethe methods employed by the firebrigade, sewage disposal board,medical officer of health andelectricity department? Someof these officials are makinga rod for their own back, asthey will realise when they get ageneration of critical amateurstelling them how to do their work.But while the children's brains areburdened with all this unnecessarydetail, the most important point ofall has been ignored, its existencehas not even been dreamed of bythese educational experts.

This question of supremeimportance is, "How can we gaincontrol of our own environment?"

This is the fundamentalquestion of government to-day,local, national and international.This is what people mean whenthey say "What's the use of voting?It makes no difference. Things ~oon the same."

As far as they can see, voting

A Soviet General on Soviet PolicyGeneral Krivitsky, the one leading survivor of the great

purge in the Red Army, served in the Soviet Military Intelli-gence Department for nearly fourteen years. Chief of theMilitary Intelligence in Western Europe, in charge of majorsecret operations of the Soviet abroad during 1935-1937.

From being the intended torchof flaming world revolution, theComintern had degenerated to amore or less useful adjunct toStalin's foreign policy. At hisconvenience he could usc hislavochka in any foreign country, tostir up, perhaps, some internaltrouble for an unfriendly govern-ment or to affect public opinion onany international question.

In 1935 he brought the Cornin-tern into play, by launching the newpolicy of the "popular front." Inevery democratic country, theobedient members of the Com-munist Party dropped theiropposition to the ruling government,and, in the name of "democracy",joined forces with other politicalparties. The technique was toelect, with the aid of their "fellowtravellers" and their dupes,national administrations friendly tothe Soviet Union. In France, the"popular front"-known as theFront Populaire-had elevated LeonBlum to power. But it was LeonBlum who, with the backing ofLondon, launched the policy ofnon-intervention in Spain.

There is in the central

committee of every Communistparty in the world one memberwho holds a secret commissionfrom the Ogpu ...

During these days, while withone hand Stalin kept military aidfrom Barcelona, with the other headdressed his public message toJose Diaz, leader of the CommunistParty of Spain.· On October Ioth..Stalin wired to Diaz: "The toilersof the Soviet Union only do theirduty when they give all the aidwithin their power to: the revolu-tionary masses of Spain." TheSpanish struggle, Stalin continued,"is not a private affair of Spaniards,It is the common cause of alladvanced and progressive mankind."This message was, of course, in-tended for the Comintern and Sovietadherents throughout the world.

A military attache of the Ogpuis detailed to every pivotalCommunist centre in the world.This agent, and he alone, is the linkbetween the Communist Party andthe Military Intelligence of theSoviet Government.

for one party or the other makes nodifference to the environment inwhich they live. They still have topay high rates, they still have in-sufficient service, and a threat ofwar all the time in the background.The children may be interested inthe petty details of local govern-ment, but when they become adultslet us hope they will put awaychildish things and ask a fewfundamental questions about policy,for no matter how magnificent thecouncil chamber, or how well-organised the borough electricitydepartment, what will it avail us ifwe have to go short of necessitiesto pay our rates and can't afford tobuy an electric cooker? And who

controls the policy that is keepingus all so short of money?

As for the purpose of educationI see no reason why a socialcrediter should not suggest a policywhich will serve individual interestsbetter than any to be found in theSpens report.

"The interest of man, which isself-development, is above allsystems, whether theological,political, or economic," and hiseducation should be directed to-wards enabling him to takecontrol of his own environment.

The knowledge that it is thefirst duty of any representative ofthe people to demand from govern-mental and economic experts theresults which the people want has astrange (?) way of catching on, andit is encouraging to see that in the·U.S.A., the chairman of theFederal Reserve Bank is beingpressed to serve the Americanpublic before the interests towhose tune he habitually dances.

The following extract from theCongressional Record of April 17th,1939, needs no comment:

Mr. Oliver: Mr. Speaker, onApril 3rd the United States Newscarried an item that Mr. Eccleschairman of the Federal ReserveBank, is reported to have told thePresident that another depres-sion is in the cards for 1940. Ifthis report is true then it is myopinion that Mr. Eccles should berequired by this house to stateany recommended course ofaction which may be set inmotion whereby such a furthercalamity and catastrophe may beaverted. If Mr. Eccles, whooccupies one of the most respon-sible official positions of thisGovernment, cannot recommendsuch a course then it is my con-sidered opinion that the Houseshould pass a vote of lack ,J[confidence in him and he shouldresign. On the other hand, ifthe report is not true then heshould deny it.

Personally it is my opinionthat Mr. Eccles would be entirelyjustified in making such a state-ment. The only suggestion Jwould add, is, that I have neverfelt that we have freed ourselvesfrom the clutches of the 1929debacle. Furthermore.it seemsto me that this nation will showtremendous vitality if our econ-omic does not collapse before1940.

\

Mr. Eccles complacently sitsand smugly informs this nationthat he and his associates dis-agree with the viewpoint that themoney supply has a directbearing on prices and, as a directresult on the making or breakingof our civilisation.

The Progress of Pressure Politics in DenmarkBy BORGE JENSEN

Propaganda:During the summer of 1935 I

contacted the 'new-economic' farm-ers movement, j'ord-Arbejde-Kapital [land, labour and capital]and during the autumn their paperwhich is issued three times weekly,published many social creditarticles.

The leader, Mr. K. E. Kristian-sen was given a dossier on ElectoralCampaign methods, which hecannot have grasped fully, for ayear later, in conjunction with theother farmers movement, he starteda campaign against the auctionsales of farms, adding to the printeddemand on the canvassing lists along technical explanation of howthe thing was to be brought about.A pamphlet issued at the same timecontained the signatures of fourhundred of the most importantmembers of the two organizations.

To these people a circular wassent setting out the differencebetween policy and methods; laterin the year (1937) they were sentbulletins of important social creditevents: in Alberta and the Englishlocal objectives campaign.

In the same year I had twopamphlets published: Unemploy-ment and Money.

ActionIn January, 1938, Mr. J oannes

Patursson, the leader of the FaroeIsland Independent party arrived inCopenhagen with a petition to theking signed by some 3,000 electors,which was a clear majority of theelectorate, protesting againstcertain Danish Socialist laws. Igot in touch with Mr. Paturssonand learned that the local parlia-ment is only advisory to the DanishGovernment that the islands are byfar the poorest part of the Danishkingdom.

After the departure of Mr.Patursson, without result as to hismission, the first large Faroe Islandmeeting was held in Copenhagen,the speakers all ending theiraddresses with the demand that theDanish Government pledge itself to

respect the decisions of the FaroeIsland parliament. An expose ofthe 'case' was sent to the Danishlegislature, and a broadsheet wassent from Copenhagen to theIslands where it was distributed toall households. It contained anaccount of the English electors'early victories in Sheffield andBelfast.

By this time I had learned thatthere were two things in which theislanders were particularly inter-ested: (a) the right to fish insidethe three-mile-limit imposed by theDanish Government round Green-land, and (b) the right to exploitthe substrata of their islands them-selves. This last right was nowbeing threatened by the firstDanish Mining Act passed someyears before in order to confer theright of exploiting the substrata ofthe kingdom of Denmark, compris-ing the Faroe Islands and Green-land, to an American engineer (orthe financial interests he represent-ed) for a period of fifty 'years.When the contract had been drawnup, the Prime Minister had left outthe Faroe Islands, whose resentmenthe had already felt. By Christmas,1937, however, the Danish Govern-ment and the Faroe parliamentwere considering giving a concess-ion to a certain company (whosechairman was also the leader of theFaroe parliament); but hundreds ofletters of protest were sent to theDanish Prime Minister in thebeginning of the year, and I gavesome publicity to this particularaspect of the Faroe question inearly March. On March 21st itwas announced that the concessionwould not be given after all.

The right to fish off the coastsof Greenland (a 'closed' country, astate monopoly according to royaldecree of 1774) had been asked bythe islanders since 1925, when theGreenland fishing first began.

In September, 1938, 400 fisher-men sent a wire, which was pub-lished in the press, demanding thesame right to fish off Greenland as

off other Danish shores.

In October, I sent a broadsheetthe text of which was published inThe Social Crediter and in a Danishpaper, ending with the same demandto the Government and the Press,and this was followed in lateDecember by a second.

On January 31st, 1939, a Faroedelegation obtained from theGovernment the wanted fishingrights. together with five ports.

Mr.

THE SOCIAL CREDITER

Mr. Kennedy, the AmericanAmbassador is an interestingproblem. Exactly why he is Am-bassador isn't publicly known, andit is not, in his case, as it has beenin that of other AmericanAmbassadors, easy to find out.

The Communists, judging fromthe papers with "Red" tendencies,don't like him, and are puzzled, andnervous about him.

In one widely read news sheetit is stated that his recent visit tothe States was for the purpose ofreceiving a severe scolding from thePresident. That paper says thatMr. Kennedy is now quite freelystating in London that Mr. Roose-velt's days are numbered, and thatin 1940, his, Mr. Kennedy's friends(whoever they may be) will be inpower: that Mr. Roosevelt is runby the Jews; and that only theJew controlled press produces ananti-fascist sentiment in the States.

Of course, that Roosevelt isJew controlled is too apparent to beseriously denied: but who are Mr.Kennedy's friends?

Much of what has happened,and is happening, in the worldindicates strife between financialgroups. This may be Jew versusGentile, as well as Jew versus Jew.Say Kuhn, Loeb versus Morgans,as well as Kuhn, Loeb versus, say,the Rothschilds. Or, expressedpolitically, Russian Communismversus Fascism.

However idle such speculationsmay be, they may help in the trueinterpretation of Mr. Kennedy.They place one on one's guardagainst taking his speeches at theirface value, however "democratic",and "understanding" they may·appear to be. There is no differ-ence as, far as democracy isconcerned between Communist andFascist; and there is no justificationfor trusting one more than theother. Each sets its traps for theunwary with democratic flavouredbaits.

Mr. Kennedy, at LiverpoolUniversity Association dinner onMay 18th, made a speech full of"understanding" of the problems ofthe modern world particularly asafi.e4;ting Youth,

KENNEDY.By J. SEAMAN OAK

WHY?

He pointed out that Youth isthwarted in a hostile world inwhich nations are armed to theteeth, and international relationsare reduced to the level of thejungle. He expressed belief thatyouth does not think that the worldowes them a living; but theycertainly do think that the worldowes them a chance of making aliving. If it is not forthcomingthey are quite likely to demand thatwe do something about it.

Mr. Kennedy said that themajority of our ills, both internaland external, spring from onecause-our failure to achieve abetter standard of living for theearth's people. There was a timein human history when man had tofight to live. There was notenough of the necessities to goround. That is no longer true.To-day we have everything that isnecessary to provide a decentstandard of living for all. I t ispurely a question of exploiting ourresources and assuring a justdistribution of the proceed~., Themajority of our difficulties are manmade,-are due to human careless-ness, human shortedness, humangreed. The race that has split theatom should be able to find a cure.

Now all this is, on the face ofit, right, but as Mr. Kennedy is adiplomat, and has a politicalmission, we are entitled to ask: "Isit?" He makes no mention ofliberty, or of the right of man toenjoy the leisure that man's effortshas made available for all. Hisimplied requirements of exploitationand distribution could be met byeither Communism or Fascism.Slaves have often been well fed,able to mate, to rear families, andto live in bodily comfort. Theywere often artists, craftsmen,teachers; often philosophers. Theysometimes lived in luxury, withother slaves to serve them. Therewas often only one thing missing intheir lives-they were SLAVES,bonded, and caged, with the freeworld outside. Mr. Kennedy wouldseem to be satisfied that we shouldaccept such a "cure" for our presentills.

Who are Mr. Kennedy's

friends? Mr. Kennedy is a Cath-olic, and we know that the latePope thought so well of theMorgan group of American finan-ciers that he made two of themKnights of the Church (or what-ever the correct term is), namelyMr. Morgan, and Mr. Lamont. Weunderstand, too, that the Morganshave been financing Mussolinisince the Rothschild's stoppeddoing so some eighteen monthsago. Mr. Kennedy's Fascistsympathies are said to be wellknown. If it is true, then, that heis at cross-purposes with thePresident, the fact that he returnedto London after his wigging, mayindicate that Roosevelt's Party isdeclining in power. Possibly it isthe Morgans who are in theascendency. Is the connection,then, Morgan-Kennedy? If so,Mr. Kennedy may be a part of thefrying-pan which is the alternativeto the Kuhn-Loeb fire.

It is interesting to note thatThe Times, besides reporting itfully, had a leader on Mr. Kennedy'saddress. One can be forgiven forsuspecting an educational purposebehind so much publicity! It maypossibly be found in the followingextract from the leader:

"'To give everyone an op-portunity to make a living, toexpress himself in creative effort,to live in peace' these, indee::l,look like simple objectives,simpler than splitting the atom.But splitting the atom is the taskof a few experts; the other is atask that will never be finisheduntil every man and woman inthe world have united to bringthe best of their moral andspiritual, as well as their intel-lectual powers to bear upon it."

Was there ever such a wail ofhopelessness ? Or is it an attemptto reconcile us to slavery?

EIRE COUNCIL'S IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONProposed by councillor Barry

and seconded by Councillor Fitz-gerald the following resolution waspassed unanimously by the Cobh(formerly Queenstown) UrbanDistrict Council on April 21st:-

"We are satisfied of the factthat the creation of financialcredit is almost costless andresolve that this Council isdetermined to obtain such creditunder reasonable conditions andwill no longer tolerate thepresent onerous conditions. Wetherefore instruct our officials inthe first instance to negotiate

with local bank managers for allfuture financial credit as requiredby the Council to be put at thelatter's disposal on demandwithout any payment of interestnow or in the future and allow-ing for· repayment of the capitalat a rate to be agreed by theCouncil, the payments to thebanks to be restricted to suchrepayment and to an annualservice charge for keeping theaccount and an original servicecharge amounting to not morethan 1 per cent. of the capitalcredit :-

In the event of local banksrefusing to co-operate with us inmonetising the credit of the city,our advisers are hereby asked towork out alternative methods ofmobilising the city's financialcredit :-

We also wish to make it clearthat we reserve the right to use -new credits for any purposelawfully to be expended by theCouncil, including the repaymentof the whole or any part of loans,mortgages or other debts owingby it."

AWKWARD QUESTIONS, Mr. f. F. McHugh asked theI chairman of the Finance Committee

whether the percentage statementwhich had been made in relation tothe city's debt referred only to themortgage stock and not todebentures.

Mr. A. L. Brown asked whetherthe chairman could state the ratesof interest which the Corporationhad to pay on its "bank-createdcredit loans."

Alderman f. Stringer, replyingto Mr. McHugh, said he hadnothing to add to the report hegave two months ago in referenceto loans and allocations. He hadsupplemented that information atthe meeting of the Finance AccountsSub-committee, which had decidedthat an application for further in-formation by the Lower Rates

Demand Association should be onthe table.

"I have no intention of amend-ing the statement I then made,"continued Alderman Stringer. "Myfirst statement was distinctly statedand correct."

A1r. M cII ugh: That is noanswer to my question.

Alderman Stringer said, withreference to Mr. A.- L. Brown'squestion, that it was undesirable heshould make any statement inCouncil, but he would be preparedto let Mr. Brown have the informa-tion personally.

Mrs. Kathleen Chambers pro-tested against refusal of answersto questions put by members of theCouncil, whereupon AldermanStringer, with emphasis, repeatedthat he had already answered thequestion fully and truthfully, andthat the amount included alldebenture stocks and mortgageloans.

The Money Lenders

A balance of £20,783 for thepast financial year, £9,000 morethan had been estimated, was an-nounced at Northumberland CountyCouncil meeting in Newcastleto-day.

Alderman G. C. Robinson, ofGosforth, chairman of the FinanceCommittee, called attention to theincreased balance. Alderman W.McLean, of Newbiggin, mentionedthat the loan debt outstanding was£1,005,165, an increase of £226,251.

He said there: existed a -pro-gramme the cost of which wouldhave to be met by borrowing.

"This country," he declared,"will soon be in the hands of themoneylenders. Having. regard tothe fact that our loan debt isgoing up by leaps and bounds, Ithink some steps should be takenby municipalities approaching theGovernment to secure cheapermoney."

"All public men should bedemanding that the finance machineof the country be dedicated to thenation and not master· of thenation."

" 'Disraeli on the Jewish ProblemThe following extract from "Coningsby," is a sidelight on the

Jewish question written by a Jew and in the book comes fromthe mouth of a Jew.

Sidonia, the wealthy Jew, isspeaking:-

H 'Oh l as for illiberality, I haveno objection to it if it be an elementof power. Eschew politicalsentimentalism. What I contendis, that if you permit men toaccumulate property, and they usethat permission to a great extent,power is inseparable from thatproperty, and it is in the last degreeimpolitic to make it the interest ofany powerful class to oppose theinstitutions under which they live.The Jews, for example, independ-ently of the capital qualities forcitizenship which they possess intheir industry, temperance, andenergy and vivacity of mind, are arace essentially monarchial, deeplyreligious, and shrinking themselvesfrom converts as from a calamity,and ever anxious to see thereligious systems of the countriesin which they live flourish; yet,since your society has becomeagitated in England, and powerfulcombinations menace your institu-tions, you find the once loyalHebrew invariably arrayed in thesame ranks as the leveller and thelatitudinarian, and prepared tosupport the policy which may evenendanger his life and property,rather than tamely continue undera system which seeks to degradehim.

'The Tories lose an importantelection at a critical moment: 'tisthe Jews come forward to voteagainst them. The Church isalarmed at the scheme of a latitud-inarian university, and learns withrelief that funds are not forth-coming for its establishment; a Jewimmediately advances and endowsit. Yet, the Jews, Coningsby, areessentially Tories. Toryism, indeed,is but copied from the mightyprototype which had fashionedEurope. And every generationthey must become more powerfuland more dangerous to the societywhich is hostile to them. Do youthink that the quiet humdrumpersecution of a decorous represent-ative of an English university cancrush those who have successivelybaffled the Pharaohs, Nebuchad-nezzar, Rome, and the Feudal ages?

'The fact is, you cannot destroya pure race of the Caucasianorganisation. It is a physiologicalfact; a simple law of nature, whichhas baffled Egyptian and AssyrianKings, Roman Emperors, andChristian Inquisitors. No. penallaws, no physical tortures, caneffect that a superior race shouldbe absorbed in an inferior, or bedestroyed by it. The mixedpersecuting races disappear; thepure persecuted race remains. Andat this moment, in spite of

. centuries, of tens of centuries, ofdegradation, the Jewish mindexercises a vast influence on theaffairs of Europe. I speak not oftheir laws, which you still obey; oftheir literature, with which yourminds are saturated; but of theliving Hebrew intellect.

'You never observe a greatintellectual movement in Europe inwhich the Jews do not greatlyparticipate. The first Jesuits wereJews; that mysterious RussianDiplomacy which so alarms West-ern Europe is organized andprincipally carried on by Jews; thatmighty revolution which is at thismoment preparing in Germany, andwhich will be, in fact, a second andgreater Reformation, and of whichso little is as yet known in England,is entirely developing under theauspices of Jews, who almostmonopolise the professorial chairsof Germany. Neander, the founderof Spiritual Christianity, and who isRegius Professor of Divinity in theUniversity of Berlin, is a Jew.Benary, equally famous, and in thesame University is a Jew. Wehl,the Arabic Professor of Heidelberg,is a Jew. Years ago, when I wasin Palestine, I met a Germanstudent who was accumulatingmaterials for the History ofChristianity, and studying thegenius of the place; a modest andlearned man. Itwas Wehl; thenunknown, since become the firstArabic scholar of the day, and theauthor of the life of Mahomet. Butfor the German professors of thisrace, their name is Legion. I thinkthere are more than ten at Berlinalone.' "

-From "Coningsby."

u.s. Clergy Object toPalestine Report

Forty-nine signatories from theU.S.A., mostly clergymen of alldenominations, have sent a cable-gram to the Speaker of the BritishHouse of Commons protestingagainst the White Paper proposalson Palestine, published last week.

The cablegram states:"Weare convinced that the

British people as well as theAmerican people are outraged bythe injustices of the White Paperrepudiating the pledges of a JewishNational Home contained in theBalfour declaration.

"The reduction of the Jews toa permanent minority is a betrayalof the obligations undertaken byBritain. The cutting down ofJewish immigration when countlessthousands of outcast and homelessJews are seeking refuge is an actof unparalleled cruelty."

The Speaker is asked toconvey the contents of the cable tothe House.

•Which is crueler, to ask the

Jewish immigrants to settle else-where (in say, British Guiana)peaceably, or to plunge Palestinestill more deeply into war, killingand maiming thousands of Arabs.Jews and Englishmen?

The Jewish question must besolved: but NOT by war.

In Association-for what?Mr. Anthony Eden is to speak

in Paris before Les Conferences desAmbassadeurs on June 15. This isthe organisation which Mr. Church-ill addressed some time ago and isthe French equivalent of ChathamHouse.

Mr. Eden has been asked tomake his speech in French, alanguage in which he is as fluentas Mr. Duff Cooper, who is speak-ing in Paris to-night.

He has not yet decided, how-ever, whether he will do so as he issomewhat out of practice. Hislast visit to France was the holidav \...which he took immediatelv afte-rhis resignation a year ago..

TO ANYDear Sir,

In case you have not seen it, Iam sending you a copy of theMemorandum dealing with the plotto throw Europe into war whichhas had a fine reception fromMonarchs, high government officialsand -influential men and womenthroughout Europe.

For your information I add thefollowing notes regarding theapplication of the plot to Britain.

There can be no shadow ofdoubt that:

(a) International Finance withAmerica as its headquarters,is making a last, ruthless bidto subjugate the whole ofEurope to its domination.

(b) Russia is already under thisdomination and is acting aspolitical and military 'control'in the working out of thepolicy.

(c) Revolution, on the same linesas that so successfully plan-ned in 1917 by the samefraternity in Russia, is in-tended to be the lot of theother countries also.

(d) Certain countries (Britain inparticular) are not easilygoaded into revolution. Theymust be demoralised first.

(e) War is the quickest way todemoralisa tion.

Bearing these facts in mind, Iask you to observe the steps that
