“Join N.A.R.J.M today and fight for your inheritance” is the slogan displayed in a prospectus now being issued at 66 Hanover Street here, according to the periodical, Truth.
“It looks rather mystifying until you observe that N.A.R.J.M. stands for “The National Association for Resistance to Jewish Monopoly’,” says Truth, “and then you are of course prepared for the sort of stuff and nonsense of which the document is composed. This is not, however, an association with the single obsession denoted by its title, for the program also comprises a hotchpotch of other aims such as ‘income tax and customs duty reduction’, ‘legislation of sweepstakes’, ‘legal, press and cinema reforms’.”
Quoting the prospectus, Truth continues:
“The problem to be fought today is a problem of money and nothing else. But money alone will not qualify you to take part in the great crusade. To qualify as a member you must not only pay an entrance fee of one shilling and a subscription of one shilling per month there###fter, but declare on oath that you ###re a pure-born British subject, born ###f British parents and of non-Jewish origin and affinity. If approved by the N.A.R.J.M executive officers, ###ou will be sworn in by the oath of ###llegiance.”
