Ezra Pound, "Letter from Rapallo", The Japan Times, August 12, 1940: "Democracy is now currently defined in Europe as a 'country run by Jews.' ... Many of us consider Franklin Roosevelt a president and proved servant of Jewry rather than a respecter of American law and traditions. ... Naturally the bleeders who sell gold are delighted with the administration. ... Henry Adams warned his brother Brooks Adams that he might be martyred. Brooks didn’t much care, and he died at a ripe old age, but the public is still nearly unaware of his books, in especial of 'The Law of Civilization and Decay' and 'The New Empire.' I know of no American author from whom the Tokyo reader can learn so much Occidental history from so small a number of pages. He was not a fanatical monetary reformer or insister on monetary pact and the known history of money, as is your present correspondent, but he had covered most of the rest of the ground. He knew and said very plainly that the old Roman empire flopped because it failed to protect the purchasing power of agricultural labor. Every time a dynasty has endured for three centuries we find certain laws at its base. You must defend the purchasing power of labor, in especial, of agricultural labor. ... I started to warn you against accepting 'shop-fronts.' The European press is full of talk about Reynauds, Blums, Pierlots, Churchills, all of whom are labels pasted over the very solid facts of the firms running the gold exchange in London, the Bank of England, the Banque de France. As no American seems to know whom Mr. Morgenthau bought the ten billion of gold from, perhaps some Oriental will have the ingenuity and patience to start finding out. ..."

“Another struggle has been the struggle to keep the value of a local and particular character, of a particular culture in this awful maelstrom, this awful avalanche toward uniformity. The whole fight is for the conservation of the individual soul.”

("Ezra Pound, The Art of Poetry No. 5", Donald Hall, The Paris Review, Summer-Fall 1962)
