This document is interesting in several respects. The
same Fig Tree issue contains the Guernsey fable that
you sent the other day. The final paragraph of his
essay indicates that Douglas had become a greenbacker
by 1938.*

The New Age was publishing discussion about the
Protocols around the time that Douglas became
associated with that journal.
So fabricated tales seemingly relating historical
events undoubtedly influenced his subsequent
anti-semitism and eventual greenbackism.
Which should tell us something about the power of
propaganda in the hands of skillful practitioners of
that art.

* Assuming that the primary objective of the economic
system is economic comfort and security, this
distribution of purchasing power would be likely to
follow three main channels:
(1) The abolition of taxation (by the financing of
Government services out of the National Credit).
(2) The distribution of a National Dividend, both
directly and by a system of compensated prices.
(3) The allocation of regulated credits for
production.

Question: In an accompanying email you sent me the
photocopy of this Fig Tree issue in PDF. Do you know
anything about the symbol from the front page that
I've appended below--its origin or intended meaning?
