The strength of the Jew has al-
wsys consisted in his being every-
where a force making toward
freedom of thought and of liber-
alism; in being everywhere in fa-
vor of the method of mental
agreement and not that of physi-
cal fight. Owing to a passionate
reaction easy to understand, with
which one may sympathize yet
which one must regret, the Jews
often in recent years have taken
a militant anti-fascist attitude
which displaces them from the

main, for it is on that ground
that their spiritual force lies.
And there is no mistaking the
fact that in the error being com-
mitted by the Left in adopting
such a militant warlike attitude
toward dictatorships, the Jewlah
situation is an unfortunate and
powerful factor."

Brady covers the subject better
than many writers have in their
complete volumes. Pointing out
that the Nazi methods are histori-
cal nonsense, he admits that "it is
not stupid propaganda." Thus he
explains:
An even greater role vas as-
signed the Jews in Nazi propa-
ganda by proving them to be the
creators of Communism, Marxism,
Bolshevism, Class War, Trade
Unions and Internationalism., In
short, the creators of all the or-

idea of the People's Community—
the Nazi name for actual German
capitalism. By one of the most
curious bits of reasoning to be
found anywhere in modern propa-
gandist literature, the Jews are
held to be notonly responsible for

to be merely different phases of

Warning against the impending
danger of fascism, Prof. Brady
concludes his thesis by stating:
