Mencius referred t, the folly of starting a war for something you couldn't GET; something the war could not bring to the monarch Mencius was talking to. So he said, climb trees to catch fish.
In the present juncture I refer to the POSSIBILITY that even the swiping and squashing of South America and of Canada may not catch even South America and Canada. Suckers, of course, you will get hold of some of 'em. Am I fanciful ?
Look at least at the possibility that this mere distention of U. S. borders MAY not be the way to get what you are battling for. It WON'T be unless you pay some attention to what happens INSIDE America.
It won't be if you lose ALL internal structure. When the turnpike depends upon Congress, local control is lost. Well, that was said a long time ago. The central government must in modern life have some powers. But as human beings it might be well to ask how many powers, and which powers ?
? And IGNORANCE and feeding on lies won't help you to make a lucid decision. You go yellin' hurray for Litvinov. Do you believe in the ABO LITION of all private ownership ?
I'll say you do not. You have colluded in the OLD British habit of employing the savage to wipe out the civilized rival. Your school has been hooded. You have had a SLOW one put over you. For 80 years, moving imperceptibly, an inch here and an inch there, you have been euchred out of your history, out of knowledge of history, both American and world history. It can not be done, said Henry Adams to Santayana. Oh, you wish to teach at Harvard. It can not be DONE. Henry Adams said he had tried it. Yes, I came LATE, but I am still a bit ahead of the band wagon. Beard, Bowers, D. R. Dewey (not Tommie) been gittin' down TOWARD but not TO the real bedrock. Get on and PUSH. Get into the diggin' and LEARN the face of American history. ADAMS, John Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, also Brooks Adams. It's 40 years late for Brooks Adams, but you can't do it sooner. And in watching contemporary flim-flam, do at least TRY to sort things OUT.
DO you believe in the Homestead or in communal ownership ? If you believe in the Homestead, WHY fight FOR the abolition of ALL private ownership ?
In taking sides in a quarrel do at least try to find out what's fighting WHICH. Do you stand for the obliteration of Finland ? If not, why fight against Finland. Do you stand, those of you who are above goose gangster level, for the obliteration of all occidental civilization ? If NOT, why join the Anglo-Jewish clique which has been and still is out professedly and openly for the obliteration of Europe ? Western Civilization, all of it that you have still got.
Our forebears made a DISTINCT contribution. The Jesuits in Paraguay made a distinct contribution, but they were wiped out for discovering things. We were wiped out largely in the old 1860's.
? A man who ain't got any foresight gets kicked in the tail. Man fed on lies and lackin' in foresight got kicked in the Guam.
DO you think that is an ISOLATED instance of the hind effects of lackin' foresight ? The starve-the-enemy theme has been sung for a long time on your Victrolas.
Go back and examine it. The cornered weasel will fight. And your MIS-leaders have been out for some years annoying several things larger than weasels. Was it an error ? ARE you going to start NOW trying to evaluate their misdemeanors, or are you all of you going to go plum 100% haywire and stay so ?
DO you believe in the homestead or in communal ownership ? If you do NOT believe in the abolition of ALL private ownership, and the abolition of ALL private initiative, watch your Nelson. He has already got a half-Nelson on you. And if you got to please pore ole Hank Wallace and go on buying all the world's gold from now till the terminus of eternity, you got a day's work comin', with 24 hours labor. And no trade union organization, legally recognized, to put up a tombstone: here lies the 8-hour day.
#14 (March 6, 1942) U. S. (B19) WHY PICK ON THE JEW ?
Well, why pick on the Jew ? I have heard the term "Jewish impertinence," in fact Gaudier-Brzeska used to use it. But I think it was a fellow named Brooks, along in January, had got 'em beat, and the name ain't Hebrew and I don't reckon he is even a crypto. At any rate some murking broadcaster tellin' the world or the Italian residents in the United States that America loves Italy and only got a grudge against the regime. Waaal, as Franklin Delano was recently cursing out the Italian for what they did in 1911, before the word fascist existed, he certainly has got NO alibi, no alibi whatsoever. Now all the United States did to
? show how it loved Italy was to lie like billyOh for 20 years, and try to starve Italy into submission: tariff wall, refusal of Italian goods, refusal of emigrants. What way is that to show love ?
DOUBTless somebody who wants 30 years sweat show now wants Italian workin' men in the United States to go work--OVERTIME.
Well Charlie Marx had a word for it. That part of Marx is sound, and if bygones are gone by, and IF the Americans love the Eyetalians, there is a way to show it. Why not have a little open communication ? Why not print the Charter of Labor ? Why not study how far the Italian law code, the new law code, being published under Mussolini's regime IMPROVES on the old ones ? How many of you have heard of the Charter of Labor ? How many of you have stopped to think whether trade unions ought to have legal status ? And the RESPONSIBILITY that goes with such status ? If you are going [toward] fascism or nazism why not do it with open EYE, why not learn what these systems of government are ? Why not ask and learn how far they are compatible with American habits, [what] is good in 'em, and wherein their strength consists, INSTEAD of merely lying and cussing and trying to kill 'em on the assumption (if you can call it by so mild a term) that they are something they ain't ?
Conditions in German factories ? How do they compare ? I have seen some dirty lying in my time. I can't hold an inquest on every separate lie, but I have seen something, I have heard something, and then I have seen the American reports of 'em.
I have noticed DIScrepancies. I have heard the statement, I mean I HEARD it while it was being said. I heard Mussolini say "WE need years of peace to get on with our internal affairs. " And I have seen it reported next day as a war speech. Twenty years of that sort of thing do not show LOVE of Italy. Not on the part of the reporters or news owners. In fact Mr. Brooks, if it was Brooks, is showing a new love, store label not yet taken off.
? Also Mussolini talking about the fight to grow enough wheat to feed Italy as being the kind of fight he prefers. Well, that was the effort that brought out American hostility all right enough.
Will you lay off it ? And if so, when so ? And while you are thinking, if so, on laying off, there is something else to lay off of ? Namely, a system of lending money to foreign nations in order to have a war every 19 years.
That system I suggest you look into. Your British Allies were scared that a few rackets were bustin'. They started a war to uphold a state of
things that just were NOT UPHOLDABLE. Instead of admitting that they would have to change it, they started a war singing the International and running up the cross, sickle, and hammer. Do your Allies BELIEVE in communal ownership ? They do not. Do the Chinamen believe in dud cars sent over to Singapore, on not very favorable conditions, and on not very explicit statements as to who gets commissions (several commissions) ? I doubt it.
Very nice to hear, I mean you are mebbe comforted to HEAR that you got 100 million Chinese soldiers all ready to die for democracy. I mean if you are a democracy. But you ain't got 'em. Well, why lean on what ain't thaar ?
There are plenty of people right here in Europe whose views on many subjects do not coincide with my own, but we have, most of us, some points of agreement. Nan King, Manchu Kuo, both of them on the map of old Asia and on the map of New Asia. And TWO points that I would, mebbe three points, like to get into your binnacles. ONE that America COULD have stayed out of this war. Two, that IF America had stayed neutral the war would now be over and America might have had a hand in composing the differences; might not have so many hush hush agreements to buy; purchase, absorb such a lot of South American stuff we don't need and can't use, cornering the market as usual, but mebbe
? not on stuff other folks want to buy. Well, exchange is said to be a fountain of wealth.
Europe is fighting for something that is not merely material, But even so, a sane and natural exchange of products between them that have 'em, places that grow 'em, and places where they don't grow or don't grow so easy is certainly a factor in a plan for permanent ease and peace. Of course if you are going to work 18 or 20 hours a day from now till the day after doomsday to buy all the world's gold and silver, to content Uncle Henry A. Wallace, that may be a question of taste (mighty queer taste) on your part.
Mebbe Henry has erred (not the first time), mebbe he was kite flying to see how much hook, line, and sinker the American people would swallow. 'Tain't going to do Brazil any good if the whole of Europe goes back to drinking java and mocha coffee. And that ain't half of the story.
Cutting your nose off to spite your face is a very old saying.
Black lists are nothing new in world history. [FCC transcript: Hitherto there have been signs of weakness and waning-- --, not signs of rising power. I mean-- --and following the regime had imposed them. Not strong, confident powers.
And then, the-- --of some of your allies. In fact, why did you take up with those gangs ? Two gangs. Jews' gang in London, and Jew murderous gang over in Moscow ? Do you like Mr. Litvinov ?

Do the people who live in painted, neat white houses, with their little sign for the delivery box, erected in 1790, built in 1815, and do these folks really approve that Mr. Litvinov and his gang, and all that he stands for ? Is he the implication of something that Mr. Jefferson liked best ? Or-- --the
? -- --of Boston and that the first white settlers of Massachusetts belong to a race now extinct ?

#15 (March 8, 1942) U. K. (B15) GOLD: ENGLAND
The ENEMY is Das Leihkapital. They're working day and night, pickin' your pockets. Every day and all day and all night pickin' your pockets AND pickin' the Russian workin' man's pockets. They call it international loan kapital. It is not international, it is not hypernational. It is subnational. A quicksand UNDER the nations, destroying all nations, destroying all law and government, destroying the nations, one at a time, Russian empire and Austria, 20 years past, France yesterday, England today.
Gold is a coward. Gold is not the backbone of nations. It is their ruin. A coward, at the first breath of danger gold flows AWAY, gold flows OUT of the country.
England don't GROW it. There is no gold sproutin' up in England next morning to replace what is gone. Taking usury rotteth the heart. I know you don't believe it. It has been going on for some time. Art Golding a few years ago writin' the life of his famous ancestor, or perhaps I shouldn't say famous, one of the best Shakespearean poets, Arthur Golding, translator of Ovid's Metamorphoses, about the best book of poetry in our language. Shakespeare learned from it.
? Well, his namesake and 84th generation or whatever, descendant points out that even in the time of Queen Elisabeth the Earl of Oxford was falling. He was handing over his rents to some shyster in return for a fixed income. Ten thousand, or whatever it was, a year and then the shyster had leave to squeeze what he could out of the peasants and yeomen, out of the men working the land.
Decline of the feudal system. Ole F. M. Ford used to talk about that. Liberty is not a right but a duty. [To] own property, not a right but a duty. I wonder how long it is going to take you to learn that. Rot and laziness cutting in under, too lazy to FUNCTION as lords and proprietors, the nobility sold out to the shysters.
In my 12 years in London, how many people did I meet (meeting as you might say the flower of the writing class in your island), how many people did I meet who had read their own history, how many who had read Anthony Trollope ? It was said as extenuation of Professor Saintsbury, "at any rate he recognized the merit of Trollope. " Owning property not a right but a duty. That statement is rather emphatic. Even Robespierre defined ownership of property, putting a limit on what the owner has right to. That being so, you play round with Bolshevism, thinking you will get OUT of a duty ? Is that it ? Or is it just chicken- headed on your part ? This pinkness at afternoon tea parties.
People from East Europe, who have been over NEXT to Bolshevised countries, see different.
People that have been up against Red Bolshevism financed by Schiff in New York and Rothschild in London, see different.
If you wait too long, you may see. So far I have never met any English who believed in the abolition of personal ownership.
I see you have lost the habit of witan, the witenagemot and the town meeting. If you don't grow or find a leader, you may have to wait for
? some kindhearted Bavarian, or Hungarian to come free you from the Jews of New York.
Do I exaggerate ?
DO YOU think that there is any basic, essential difference between a committee of kikes in LONDON betraying the United States of America and a gang of kikes in New York selling up England, and putting mortgages all over your island ? Do you think that freedom and the roast beef of old England, or roast beef of old Argentine, consists in taking orders from a gang of Jews in New York ?
Potatoes and point [? ] for yours, if potatoes, and point to where the roast beef had been or might have been.
I know it hasn't been stylish to read U. S. A. history in England. Lord Bryce and a few exceptions looked at American history. However, along in 1863 the United States was sold up the river. Ikleheimer handed it over to Rothschild. Can't let 'em print national money, all American money must be controlled by the DEBT. And the debt controlled by the Rothschilds and their associated fellow Episcopalians.
I know, it was clever to send Willie over to New York City to look after your interests and get information as to how Washington was conducting the United States' business. A nice little TUBE instituted. And now the first thing you know, all your island strength has slipped down it.
Your bankers profiting by the decline of England. The hat trick ? Yes, the hat trick. The banker gets on a boat, his company is registered elsewhere. He casts down the mighty. I hear even Morgan has lost his seat. Gold is a coward. At the first breath of danger gold flows out of the country.
Now Mr. Eden has declined to cooperate with the nations of Europe, oh most emphatically. He wouldn't shake hands with Neville. He left the House in disgust.
? And Winston ? He toppled over Japan RIGHT on top of you. Sitting out side, I mean to anybody sitting outside looking in, it would seem that this FLOP of Japan right on top of some of your select naval bases has occurred at an inconvenient juncture.
BUT you are accustomed to your parliamentary leaders. No number of errors on their part induces you to wonder whether your leaders are or are not the KIND of men who MAKE errors. Create 'em, you might almost say, out of nothing.
DO YOU grow gold IN England ? Do the froggies grow gold IN France ? DO the Nigerian farmers get anything but trouble out of having their government run from London, by the pimps, narks, and lackey of the Jewish owners of gold mines ? Did the ex-service men after the last war who went out to Africa, etc. , etc. and etc. Is gold the CEMENT of empire ? It is not.
Yes, you can gum on [to] the Arabs. You are allied to a few millionaires. Your Allies in India are the bunyah. You do nothing in your colonies to compare with the COLONIZATION, real colonization as Italians under stand it.
Well, I won't say you do nothing, but your main line is squeeze, squeeze, ruin the natives, exploit 'em.
With exceptions, a man here and there, I suppose still doing his job, along the line of Mr. Kipling's romances. Jews all over the top of Australia. War on your dominions.
You are tired of the name of Alberta. You did everything but march troops into Alberta to keep it under. So the orientation of Canadian trade is now southward.
England is to be a Jew-owned deer park with tearooms. UNLESS of course you lift a tired and tardy eyelid. YOU have NO gold mines in
? England. And Hank Wallace, the American Vice President, yellin' bloody murder that there will be, and shall be, NO peace till the whole world sells its birthright for the gold now in Fort Knox.
Gold bought from your Jewish merchants at a rigged price. That has RUINED half the American people. Gold that is totally useless, save for false teeth and spectacle frames. Not even in fashion for goggles, replaced by porcelain in swell dentistry. Mr. Wallace says you got to go on blood and tears-ing till mankind bows down to the calf. How did you get there ?
I lose my thread some times. So much that I can't count on anyone's knowing. Thread, as they call it, of discourse. A nation that pays two rents can't compete with a nation that pays only one. How many rents and rates are you paying ? How many were you paying before this new war was started ? How many of you meet to discuss things ? Toynbee Hall and the rest of it nigh a hundred years ago, say 80 years ago, there were "movements in England," amateur discussions of guilds.
Twenty-five, 26, 27 years ago night life, or night dance clubs started in London. Looked diverting, nobody wondered WHY ? Ole Frida started the cave of the calf, nobody thought any evil. Possibly a little espionage, probably not even that. Wake up one morning and find the spirit of England, immortal spirit of England's May Day, chained in a brothel. Just another hat trick, undermining, cutting away. Where did she get the money to do it' ?
In France things were much more professional. Marvelous fiber, England. Two hundred and 50 years usury, cutting away. Hobhouse, Cobbett, Trollope, men coming back from the colonies, TELLING YOU and being told to shut up. Montagu Webb, trying to tell you something. When they didn't shut up, they were givin' jobs, sometimes quite nice jobs, OUT of London. They were promoted to colonial posts, or as
? Kipling once wrote, "Jack Barret went to Quatta. " But that was another story, that was for a personal reason. .
Are you going to select a leader' ? You haven't followed, and won't follow any leader yet offered' ? Have you a selfless leader' ? Have you the sphincter strength to revive the old custom of meeting, or are all town meetings for bidden by now in England' ?
Was the war what you wanted' ? Were you TOLD in 1939 what Vice President Wallace has now at last told you, namely NO peace without the gold standard' ?
After Winston's visit to Washington, have you mental coherence enough to recall what happened in England when the fat boy brought back the gold standard' ? Must have been YEARS ago, did someone say 1925' ? I have plumb forgot when it happened. America is allus behindhand, gets round to a dead British idea about 20 years after England is thru with it.
NO peace without the gold standard. Why weren't you TOLD that before you set out to keep Danzig Polish and to defend Finland against Russian menace' ?
No peace without the gold standard. Is that the voice of "We the people of England, we have not spoken yet'? "
Pound speaking from Italy. Parlando da Roma. Pound speaking. Am I expected to wait for the people of England to speak' ? Of course you'll have to find your OWN leaders, I can't pick and choose 'em for you.
#16 (March 15, 1942) U. K. (B16) ENGLAND
? The enemy is Das Leihkapital. Your Enemy is Das Leihkapital, international, wandering Loan Capital. Your enemy is not Germany, your enemy is money on loan. And it would be better for you to be infected with typhus, and dysentery, and Bright's disease, than to be infected with this blindness which prevents you from understanding HOW you are under mined, how you are ruined.
The big Jew is so bound up with this Leihkapital that no one is able to unscramble that omelet. It would be better for you to retire to Darbyshire and defy New Jerusalem, better for you to retire to Gloucester and find one spot that is England than to go on fighting for Jewry and ignoring the process.
It is an outrage that any clean lad from the country--I suppose there are STILL a few ENGLISH lads from the country--it is an outrage that any nice young man from the suburbs should be expected to die for Victor Sassoon, it is an outrage that any drunken footman's byblow should be asked to die for Sassoon.
As to your Empire, it was not all of it won by clean fighting. But however you got it, you did for a time more or less justify keeping it, on the ground that you exported good government or better government than the natives would have had without England.
You let in the Jew and the Jew rotted your empire, and you yourselves out-Jewed the Jew. Your allies in your victimized holdings are the bunyah, you stand for NOTHING but usury.
And above metal usury; you have built up bank usury, 60% against 30 and 40%, and by that you WILL NOT be saved. Corrupting the whole earth, you have lost yourselves to yourselves.
And the big Jew has rotted EVERY nation he has wormed into. A mill stone. Well, an exceptionally good swimmer MIGHT conceivably be cast into the sea with a stone tied round his neck. He might perhaps
? untie it. If he were a Scotchman, he would remember his jackknife, before being thrown overboard.
You seem to remember NOTHING. It were better you were infected with typhus. As to federal union, or JEW/nion. There is NO question of race in Streit's proposition. It is as proposed a union of slaves, under Jewry. Offered by liars and abettors of thieves.
You have stolen land from your late Allies, and land slips from your control. The ONLY conquests of Britain and Rosenfeld are conquests FROM their alleged allies.
All right, say that Franklin Delany swipes ALL South America--to what end ? And ruin the United States of America while he is doing it.
What's that to you ? It is not England's salvation. Will you ever LOOK at the story of empire ? You are NOT even in the mercantile system, you are in a fake mercantile system, not even mercantile. It was for a time called mercantile or the mercantilist system and defined as considering the happiness of a nation to consist in the amount of MONEY it owned, and its process to consist in STEALING, welching, pouching the greatest possible amount of same (i. e. , of money) from other nations.
That defines the USURY system, the ONLY system Anglo Saxons have known or used in our time.
And it will not save you. NOR will Judaized Russia. Nor will the Kahal, the Jew's central committee of bleeders. WI-IAT is their
system ? Unvarying, cheap goods, sweated out of cheap labor, dung dust hurled on the world, the WORLD conceived as sweat shop, to hell with the 8-hour day, down with abundance. DUMPING sweated goods, dumped against any and every nation that pays a just price for labor. That is your ALLY.
And in your past a trail of blood and of infamy. You bought Hessians to kill your own blood in America. You bought 'em from a stinking feudal
? overlord, who was in the hands of the ROTHSCHILD; that is HISTORY. You stirred up the American savages against your own kin IN America. But now Eden and Cripps have called in the Muscovite, to burn and destroy all Eastern Europe, and kill Finland, for the sake of the stinking Jews nickel mines.
Your infamy is bound up with Judaea. You can not touch a sore or a shame in your empire but you find a Mond, a Sassoon, or a Goldsmid. YOU HAVE NO RACE left in your government.
God knows if it can be found still scattered in England.
IT must be found scattered in England. The white remnants of England, the white remnant of the races of England must be FOUND and find means to cohere; otherwise, you might as well lie down in your grave yards.
You have for years had cheap goods DUMPED in from Russia. Your alliance with Moscow will bring no relief to that wound. Your Jews have ruined your home manufactures. Loans from the city of London, loans to the Orient, interest paid in cheap cotton goods, loans to the South American countries, interest paid in beef from the Argentine, and ruin of English grazing. The laws of durable government have been known from the days of King Wen. When empires go to ROT, they go to rot for known reasons.
The Times, Telegraph, Manchester Guardian, are there to conceal these reasons. Your press is an infamy, has been throughout our time.
The laws of durable government have been known from the days of King Wen, and when the Roman Empire perished it perished from the same follies that your kikes, your Rothschilds, Beits, Sieffs, Schiffs, and Goldsmids have squirted into your veins.
? Cheap grain dumped from Egypt, ruin of the Italian farming, usury, and more usury, THAT is the answer.
For two centuries, ever since the brute Cromwell brought 'em back into England, the kikes have sucked out your vitals. A mild penetration, for a hundred years they have bootlicked your nobility and now where is your nobility ? You had at least the semblance of control; you had, let us say, some influence with the Lords of Judaea as long as they WANTED your titles, as long as Levy Levinstein Lawson WANTED to be addressed as Lord Burnham. You could turn the worst edge of their avarice, or rather you could turn it OFF, the upper or huppar clawses; and turn it ONTO the peer. As you did without mercy.
But when the same scroungers have moved over to New York City, how will you manage 'em ? The same bloody minded extortioners, or their descendents. The same FINANCIAL HOUSES. The same Rothschilds who plotted with Sherman, and Vandergould to KILL the American nation, who betrayed the United States in the "sixties". Head office in London, agents in the U. S. of America.
Now the address is altered. Main office in Wall Street and Cohen in London. You send Willie over to spy on us. You send 5000 usurers' pimps over to Washington and give special passports, diplomatic, to inveigle the United States into your plans to get cannon fodder from Idaho and from Iowa to weld your slaves cellar on Europe. And this time you get dumped into the ash can.
You have even forgotten your Kipling. Pig Baldwin has forgotten his cousin; if his obscene and treacherous mind ever grasped the meaning of Rudyard's stories. Let me recall one passage to the sow face:
"The Americans," wrote Rudyard, "obligingly slaughtered each other in order that the Czechoslovaks might inherit Boston Common. " Cras tibi, tomorrow is your turn. Damn it all, you slaughtered the flower of
?
