English Publicist Lucian Wolf, on the Innocence of the “Morning Post”OUTLINES HISTORY OF SPURIOUS DOCUMENTS USED AGAINST JEWSWITHIN THE PAST CENTURIES.(J. C. B.

Mr. Lucien Wolf. England’s Brilliantpublicist, has the following in the lest issue of the Manchester C.unrdhin:The prodigious ossav on The Pause of World Unrest” which the Morning Post’ ’lias lately published in sev» n-teen articles and some sixty -oluuuis of printed matter is a document on which the student of political thought in England will dwell sadly. Over a century ago, in world circumstances of sturtling similarity and almost from the sume party standpoint. Ihirkc gave iisv in his “Causes of the Prest-it Discontents, his “Reflations.” and ids “Regicide Pence.” a large and stately piece of political philosophy. Today the lending organ of Conservative opiu ion in this country can only expou id awere hy no means obscure. The French Revolution, as Burke pointed out. was not a mere uprising against loc-ul oppression. hut a revolution of doctrine and theoretic dogma which was hound to find echoes beyond the French frontiers. In this respect it resembled the Reformation, and also that other “armed doctrine” which we know as Bolshevism. Nevertheless it puzzled the Bourbon apologists, and confusing cause and effect, they lieeame con-vineed that they were in the pr»*seiiee of an international conspiracy. Thetheory was first propounded hy a Superior of the Seminary of Eudists at Caen in 171)0, hut it was afterwards vastly developed hy the Ablic Rarruel in ids “Memories sur le Jacoblnisme. hy Robison Edinburgh in idsProofs of a Conspiracy,” and hy the Chevalier do Malet in ids “Recherche* I listoriqnes.” Their conclusion was that there was a triple conspiracy of Philosophers.

The struggle for Jewish emancipation had triumphed nil over Western Europe. and the new citizens thus‘enfranchised lmd everywhere east their lot with the Liberal parties. This wns swiftly and angrily notM by the Ultramontane polemists. and the old bogey of n “Formidable Sect” liegan to haunt them In a mow and enlarged form.

From his own admissions, however, it appears that lie was largely indebted to German Catholic Inspiration. Once again the theory fulled to find support. and Gougenot’s book, like tho hooks of Bnrrucl and Robison, lieenmo relegated to tin* literature of forgotten crazes. mLater on. however, attempts to remit that the translation of the Rus iau forgery, on which the theory of hat journal mainly rests, was actual-y made in the Intelligence Depart-nent of the War Office.
