>Abuse of the clear word, the clean definition, is one of Pound's recurrent
themse throughout the broadcasts, as I've said. In an earlier broadcast,
Pound had lambasted the economist for getting things all mixed up; the
phrase he cited was "capital in the form of transportation". In this Zion
broadcast, he cites Keynes' statement that the high cost of living was due
to a lack of labor, "when there were millions of men out of work." Then
Pound cites the Protocols to show that their program has indeed come to pass:

That is the reason why economic sciences form, etc. Around us again will be
a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and the main
thing, millionaires, because in substance everything will be settled by the
question of figures."

"That is the reason why economic sciences form, etc."
 
Etc.?
 
Boy, now I know why Pound was upset: not only didn't he get his Ph.D., he
flunked the exam for admission to the International Jewish Conspiracy. The
words he liked weren't clear enough, the definitions not clean enough.
