THE TOWN OF SERGIEV Part One INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT HE world is in the midst of a crisis not less serious than Tthat of the great war. While it was inevitable that the period following the war should be fraught with grave prob lems for civilization, these problems have been made much more difficult by the presence of a new danger, namely, the destructive force of Bolshevism. Russia was the first victim of what proves to be a movement of an international char acter, Russia being used as the base of operations. While powerful Bolshevist armies are overrunning Asia and men acing the European countries to the West, an equally danger ous force of Red propagandists, directed from Moscow, is operating on several continents, spreading its social poison throughout the world and threatening the destruction of the social and industrial morale of civilized nations. With the triumph of the Bolshevist revolution in Russia, a group of internationalists, most of whom were members of the Jewish race, seized the machinery of government and have held it ever since. The complete destruction of Russian civilization, which for centuries had been essentially a Christian civilization, and the reduction of the great majority of the Russian people to a state of abject misery and ruin, are accomplished facts. The Bolshevist leaders, however, not content with this destruction and the establishment of a cruel despotism in Russia, are making every effort to extend their revolution and their con trol to other countries. The Communist revolution in Hungary, under Bela Cohen (alias Kuhn), a confessed ally and agent of Trotzky, was not terminated until it had wrought great havoc in that country. The same is true of the Spartacan revolt in Germany, where recently the struggle broke out anew and assumed the char- 1 THE PROTOCOLS acter of a formidable civil war. Holland and Italy are to-day seriously threatened with uprisings inspired by the Bolsheviki, while in France the government has been compelled to expel the Bolshevist agents in large numbers. In the United States revolutionary agitation directly guided and fomented by agents of Lenin and Trotzky and subsidized with ample funds, re cently reached such proportions that the Federal Government was forced to take strong measures, including hundreds of arrests and deportations. The enemy is in our midst. In this country, as elsewhere, alien agitators who are either Bolshevists themselves or emissaries of the Bolsheviki have wormed their way into some of the loyal labor organizations or put them selves at the head of the Socialist or other radical political parties artificially stimulating social unrest and seeking to turn industrial strikes into political upheavals, leading to revolution and anarchy. Shall America be as slow to realize the real danger of in ternational Bolshevism as she was to recognize the menace of German imperialism? Shall America again be unprepared? We must be ready to meet the danger at our doors and, if necessary, to suppress it in our midst with physical force, just as was necessary in the struggle with Prussian militarism. It has been said, however, and perhaps truly, that Bolshevism can not be met by force alone. Certainly to meet it effectively its nature must be understood. To this end it is necessary to analyze the movement carefully and to discover its underlying causes — if possible the predominating cause. From the very beginning there was an element of mystery in the Bolshevist revolution in Russia. Was it, essentially, an attempt to put into effect the principles of international social ism as promulgated by Karl Marx? Was it a disguised form of proletarian imperialism? Did it aim at the complete de struction of Christian civilization? Or, finally, was it a long planned, gigantic revolt of the Jewish race against Christen dom and its institutions? From the very start there was a terrible method in the mad ness of Trotzky and those in league with him. Many of their moves which at the time seemed inexplicable afterwards ap peared logical enough when their objects became apparent. The world was puzzled by Trotzky's famous remark at Brest-Litovsk, "No peace, no war." Later, however, the real 2 THE PROTOCOLS meaning became known: "No war on Germany, no peace for Russia or the rest of the world." That the Bolshevist revolution was from the beginning almost entirely led and controlled by Jews is a fact which has gradually thrust itself upon the attention of the world. The Jews in many instances have admitted the dominating rôle which members of their race have played in international Bolshevism and have sought to defend it. Some of their recognized leaders have proclaimed their pride in Trotzky. The fact that the Jewish race has taken such an active part in the Russian Bolshevist movement, with its international ramifications, has been attributed in some quarters to the motive of revenge on the part of the Jews for what they regard as a long era of persecution. If this be so, is it impossible that Jews in various parts of the world imagine that now is their chance not only for revenge but for world domination? The air of confidence with which Trotzky and other Jewish leaders are proceeding with their drastic program in Russia is significant. Significant, also, is the enthusiastic support which is being given to the Soviet rule by various Jewish elements and groups outside of Russia. Whether this co- related movement of the Jews in support of Bolshevism is not being carried out on some concerted plan is a question of importance which warrants careful study and investigation. No facts which can possibly throw light upon this question should be disregarded. For this reason it is timely to con sider the contents and origin of a document of extraordinary interest which, though made public in Russia some fifteen years ago, is generally unknown elsewhere. The document referred to is entitled, "Protocols of the Meetings of the Zionist Men of Wisdom," and was pub lished for the first time in 1905 at Tsarskoje Selo in a Russian book entitled "The Great in the Little," written by Serge Nilus, a well-known Russian author. The Protocols set forth a comprehensive program for the substantial destruction of all Christian states, and propose certain practical methods for achieving world domination by the Jewish nation. So far as is known, the Protocols have never been repudiated publicly by recognized Jewish authorities. Quite recently the well- known firm of Eyre & Spottiswoode, Ltd., printers for the British Government, published a pamphlet under the title, 3 THE PROTOCOLS "The Jewish Peril, Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion." In the preface of this pamphlet it is explained that the Proto cols referred to were translated from the Russian into English from Serge Nilus's book which appeared in Russia in 1905. While the editors do not give the title of Nilus's book, they say: "A copy of the original may be seen at the British Museum Library, under No. 3926-d-17, stamped British Museum, 10th August, 1906." They state also that the publication of the English pamphlet at present is justified by the growing menace of Bolshevism throughout the world. The pamphlet concludes with the warning: "GENTILES, BEWARE!" It seems obvious that the publishers, Eyre & Spottis woode, Ltd., have used Nilus's book "The Great in the Little," published in Russia in 1905. A specific reference to the Protocols is to be found also in the French weekly magazine La Vieille-France, No. 160, pub lished in February, 1920. In the editorial article entitled "The Jews Have Created Bolshevism" (pages 10-13) the follow ing extract from the Zionist Protocols, as published by Nilus, is given in French: "A nous, son Peuple d'élection, Dieu a donné le pouvoir d'expansion, et ce qui semble être notre faiblesse a été notre force. Nous sommes au seuil de la domination universelle. Il reste peu a construire sur ces bases," etc. etc. The article asserts that Bolshevism is nothing but a phase of Judaism, and also states that the Jewish Bolshevist leaders in Russia were subsidized by Jewish banking houses in the United States and Germany. In January, 1917, Mr. Nilus published another book under the title "It is Near, At the Door," and in this book the Protocols were again published in full. A reproduction of the title page of this book is inserted at the beginning of this volume. While the Protocols are generally unknown here, it is worthy of note that on October 27-28, 1919, the Philadelphia Public Ledger printed long excerpts from them in an article calling the attention of the American people to the document and to the terrible program which it presents.
