“You are rendering the Jews a very great service, that of saving them from themselves.
“It takes courage, and nerve, and intelligence to do and pursue such a work, and I admire you for it.”

When the Jews see this, they can take over the work of truth-telling and carry it on themselves. These articles have as their only purpose: First, that the Jews may see the truth for themselves about themselves; second, that non-Jews may see the fallacy of the present Jewish idea and use enough common sense to cease falling victims to it.
