An Important
Item On Origin
Of 'The Protocols'
T
he column of a month
ago referring to the
outrageous falsifica-
tions called "Protocols of the
Elders of Zion" has drawn an
addendum from another
scholar. Mervin B. Freedman,
professor of psychology at San
Francisco State University,
wrote to the New York Times:
In an Aug. 7 letter, Prof.
Jeffrey L. Sammons says
that the original text for
the "Protocols of Zion" was
Biarritz,
Herrmann
Goedsche's novel publish-
ed in 1868. This is partly
true. The forgers borrowed
the idea of the Elders of
Zion from
Biarritz,
although in the book the
Elders are not addressed
by their chief but by the
Devil in person.
The direct literary
ancestor, however, was Un
Dialogue aux Enfers Entre
Machiavelli et Montes-
quieu, ou La Politique de
Machiavelli dans le XIX-
eme Siecle, par un Contem-
porain, published in 1864
in Brussels. The author
was a French lawyer,
Maurice Joly. Joly was at-
tacking the regime of
Napoleon III, arguing that
it had borrowed various of
the ignoble tactics of
Machiavelli. He was
punished with 15 months
of imprisonment.
Although Joly's book is a
work of political satire and
never mentions Jews, the
"Protocols" resemble it
very closely in arrange-
ment, content, lines of
thought and even phras-
ing. According to the
historian Christopher
Sykes, "What was now evi-
dent was that 40 years later
someone had adopted Jo-
ly's book to anti-Semitic
purposes."
The origins of the "Pro-
tocols" were exposed by
Philip Graves (half-brother
of Robert Graves), cor-
respondent of The Times of
London in Constantinople,
in a series of articles
published in that
newspaper in 1921. The
forgers, agents of the Rus-
sian secret police in Paris,
borrowed from other
sources, too, such as the
lunatic ravings of Edouard
Drumont in his vicious
anti-Semitic paper, La
Libre Parole.
The Joly role has frequent-
ly been referred to in articles
exposing the fraudulent "Pro-
tocols." It is important that
all the facts be retained in the
record of falsifications used as
means of spreading
anti-Semitism.

Kach Protests
Moslem Consul
Atlanta — Rabbi Meir
Kahane, the Kach Party
member of Knesset, led six
local Kach supporters in
Atlanta, Sept. 1, in a
demonstration in front of the
Israel Consulate for the
Southeast, calling new Con-
sul General Muhamed
Massarwa "anti-Zionist."
Massarwa, who arrived in
Atlanta Aug. 24, is the first
Moslem to serve as an Israeli
diplomat abroad. He was
welcomed by Atlanta Jewish
leaders, who praised the ap-
pointment as representative
of Israel's democratic ideals.
Kahane, with a large con-
tingent of local journalists in
tow, got as far as the intercom
system outside the consulate's
locked security door. He spoke
in Hebrew through the inter-
com for several minutes, but
was .refused entry.
At a press conference
earlier that morning, Kahane
maintained that Massarwa's
appointment, though
representative of Western
democracy, is inconsistent
with Zionism when carried
through to its "logical end."
"I want to know if Massar-
wa can fulfill his major role of
aliyah — getting Jews to
emigrate to Israel," Kahane
said. "Does he really want to
see more Jews in Israel? Of
course not. He is an anti-
Zionist, as well he should be.
If any Arab is a Zionist, then
he is a traitor to his own peo-
ple because Zionism calls for
a Jewish state."
