No sir! On the other hand, if the Jews are Communists, they certainly don't control a lot of the wealth of the country. For who ever heard of a rich Communist? Just think how much of their "super-refined and sweetened" propaganda we must be absorbing when we are taken in by their "crude" stuff so readily.

A huge crowd was watching an enormous lion. Suddenly, by accident, the door of the cage swung open. The fearful beast rushed out roaring. Panic seized the crowd. Everybody rushed lor the exit.

Only "one little fellow with a vaguely aquiline nose managed to retain his presence of mind. Drawing a revolver from his pocket he aimed at the lion and shot him between the eyes. The crowd gave him an ovation contort e-ery man, no matter what his race, heroism and promised him a reward. "Tell me your name," said the magistrate, "so 1 can tell the Duce about you." "Oh," the little chap replied modestly, "perhaps the Duce wouldn't want to know my name." "Of course he would," protested the other. "Mussolini Is always glad to learn a hero's name." "Well, in that case, and since you insist, my name is Samuel Cohen." An icy silence.

The magistrate released the hero's hand after a perfunctory hand-shake.
