individualist business, as it were, now in armed revolt against the<br />
insolent tyranny <strong>of</strong> the Empire Trusts, which are merging into one<br />
Empire. . . . <strong>The</strong>se three great Empires (Great Britain, France,<br />
<strong>Russia</strong>) are now made into a mighty Trust <strong>of</strong> interlocking Syndicates.<br />
That is what the French-<strong>Russia</strong>n (Soviet) Pact and the<br />
French-English alliance means. . . . That is merely an old-fashioned,<br />
political way <strong>of</strong> putting it, to call these 'Pacts' and 'Alliances.'<br />
It is nationalist language. It has to be used . . . because,<br />
<strong>of</strong> course, the majority <strong>of</strong> people are still 'nationalist' minded. . . .<br />
Another great war is blowing up ... to understand its meaning<br />
. . . fix your mind upon mis tendency to coalesce into corporations,<br />
to fuse into one vast monopolistic mass. That is what the<br />
nations are doing, just as much as shops and factories. And those<br />
who decline to coalesce, are now being threatened by those who are<br />
the leading members <strong>of</strong> this great political Trust . .<br />
In regard to the r61e <strong>of</strong> Soviet <strong>Russia</strong>, Mr. Wyndham Lewis<br />
does not seem to be quite satisfactory. <strong>The</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Rulers</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Russia</strong> has always been to promote war between the once Christian<br />
powers, in order to pr<strong>of</strong>it by the resultant misery. <strong>The</strong>y are ready<br />
to play <strong>of</strong>f one against the other and turn to account the weaknesses<br />
<strong>of</strong> both. <strong>The</strong>y will thus be able to propagate Communism in all<br />
the countries engaged in conflict. <strong>The</strong> end <strong>of</strong> the War may well<br />
see a Communist revolution and, as a result, the Mass practically<br />
abolished, in Western Europe. So Satan muses—and others. 2<br />
For those who may not be aware <strong>of</strong> how far monopoly and<br />
semi-Communism have progressed in England, the pamphlet <strong>The</strong><br />
Real Crisis, published by <strong>The</strong> Liberty Restoration League is recommended.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will there learn about P.E.P. (Political and<br />
Economic Planning) and see that "the various Boards that have<br />
been set up in a number <strong>of</strong> industries are autocratic bodies on the<br />

"Count Your Dead: <strong>The</strong>y are Alive f" by Wyndham Lewis. This book<br />
is strongly recommended for its excellent outline <strong>of</strong> the preparations for<br />
another great war.<br />

In a more recent book, entitled "<strong>The</strong> Jews—are they human t" Mr,<br />
Wyndham Lewis shows a regrettable lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> the Divine Plan<br />
for order in the world through the acceptance <strong>of</strong> the Supernatural Messias.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result is a very superficial work compared with "Count Your Dead:<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are Alvuel"<br />
