1. "We shall saddle it and keep tight rein upon it. We shall do the same
also with other printed matter, for of what use is it to rid ourselves
of attacks in the Press, if we remain exposed to criticism through
pamphlets and books?"
2. "Not one announcement will reach the people save under our
supervision. We have attained this at the present time to the extent
that all news is received through several agencies in which it is
centralized from all parts of the world."
A sidelight on the first sentence above may be had from the Jewish
statement regarding the British Declaration relating to Palestine: "This
Declaration was sent from the Foreign Office to Lord Walter Rothschild.
* * * It came perhaps as a surprise to large sections of the Jewish
people * * * But to those who were active in Zionist circles, the
declaration was no surprise. * * * The wording of it came from the
British Foreign Office, but the text had been revised in the Zionist
offices in America as well as in England. The British Declaration was
made in the form in which the Zionists desired it. * * *" pp. 85-86,
"Guide to Zionism," by Jessie E. Sampter, published by the Zionist
Organization of America.
3. "Literature and journalism are two most important educational forces,
and consequently our government will become the owner of most of the
journals. * * * If we permit ten private journals, we shall organize
thirty of our own, and so on. This must not be suspected by the public,
for which reason all the journals published by us will be EXTERNALLY of
the most contrary opinions and tendencies thus evoking confidence in
them and attracting our unsuspecting opponents, who thus will be caught
in our trap and rendered harmless."
This is most interesting in view of the defense now being made for so
many Jewish journals. "Look at the newspapers owned and controlled by
Jews," they say; "see how they differ in policy! See how they disagree
with each other!" Certainly, "externally," as Protocol 12 says, but the
underlying unity is never hard to find.
Besides, one way of discovering who are the people that have knowledge
of the Jewish World problem, of who can be convinced of it, or who will
write about it is just to start a paper which "externally" seems to be
independent of the Jewish Question. So deeply is this thought shared by
even uneducated Jews that a rumor is today widespread in the United
States that the reason for the present series of articles in THE
DEARBORN INDEPENDENT is the desire of its owner to forward the Jewish
World Program! Unfortunately, this scheme of starting a fake opposition
in order to discover where the real opposing force is, is not confined
to the Jewish Internationalists, although there is every indication that
it was learned from them.
