( PRICE SIXPENCE No. 179. ra H ] SEPTEMBER 17, 1921. &. 7 . (. Registered at a NtwijMwr. THE TRUTH ABOUT "THE PROTOCOLS." A Literary Forgery. A reprint of articles recently published in {Ef)0 ^EtntCSi, which prove that the so-called " Protocols of the Elders of Zion " are a literary forgery. The " Protocols " have obtained a world- wide circulation, in many languages, owing to the belief that they were evidence of a Jewish Plot to overthrow civilization. In this pamphlet the source of the " Protocols " is established beyond controversy. SOME PRESS COMMENTS. " The Times last week rendered a service worthy of its greatest days by the exposure of a forgery of colossal impudence." Observer. " The ' Protocols ' always looked like a rather clever hoax, but we confess we imagined them to be an original work of a decidedly imaginative author. Now The Times Correspondent at Constanti- nople has discovered their original source, and shows them to be a mere plagiarism." Westminster Gazette. "It is quite clear that the so-called 'Protocols ' are merely a crude plagiarism. No one . . . could deny the complete- ness of the exposure." New Statesman. "We are thankful to The Times for having given the ' Protocols ' what must surely prove their quietus for ever." Jewish Chronicle. "The 'Protocols,' therefore, are not what they profess to be." Spectator. " We have never committed ourselves to the authenticity of the 'Protocols." Morning Post.
