Besant and the Theosophist Messianic Claim Debated
Arthur Brisbane reviews Annie Besant death at 85 and her role in promoting the new messiah Krishnamurti, noting her influence on workers in London and her later spiritualist pursuits. The column shifts to gold standard debates, currency values, and global finance, including Britain’s labor party, the American Federation of Labor, and the Philippines gold boom. It critiques Uncle Sam’s wartime aid and China’s cotton trade, then praises Swope’s idea to analyze before organizing, and ends with housing and transit notes amid the Bolshevik anniversary and prohibition debates.
