Newark, New Jersey: Argyle Press, 1941. Second printing. A fanatical proposal for eradicating the German population through forced sterilization and the dissection and distribution of German lands to her neighbors. The book was written and self-published by an unknown Jewish American named Theodore N. Kaufman, the owner of a theatrical ticket agency in Newark, NJ, and sole member of the American Federation of Peace. It was under the banner of this one-man organization that in 1939 Kaufman first broached the idea of sterilization, but this time for Americans if the U.S. was to become embroiled in a European war. Finding no publisher willing to publish his unhinged thesis, Kaufman established Argyle Press to publish Germany Must Perish, which he did in early 1941. He aggressively self-promoted it, which resulted in reviews in the New York Times, Washington Post, TIME Magazine, and the Philadelphia Record. Preceding the book's publication, Kaufman sent small hand-made coffins to reviewers that contained… Read More

Los Angeles: Christian Freedom Foundation, Inc, 1966. A run of later issues of this long-running Christian libertarian newspaper, which was the organ of the Christian Freedom Foundation (CFF). The CFF was founded by millionaire oilman and philanthropist J. Howard Pew in 1950, but run by Howard Kershner who also edited "Christian Economics." "Christian Economics" specifically targeted Christian ministers who Pew believed were promoting communism and socialism in a misguided attempt to practice Christian charity. Instead, "Christian Economics" promoted the idea "that the free market economy is explicitly sanctioned, but not specifically endorsed, by lessons in the Bible'' (Haddigan, 6). Kershner had an initial writing staff of two economists, George Koether and Percy E. Greaves, who received guidance from Ludwig von Mises on communicating economic principles to ministers. von Mises and Friedrich Hayek were also contributors, as was popular TV host, Lawrence Welk. The paper was published biweekly,… Read More

Atlanta: Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, 1927. A special issue of the Klan's magazine devoted to Roman Catholicism and the campaign of the Catholic New York governor, Alfred E. Smith, for President of the United States. The majority of the issue is devoted to a lengthy article by the Klan's Imperial Wizard, Dr. Hiram W. Evans, entitled "For the People" or For the Pope?, the last of three articles written about alienism and American democracy. Evans' article was prompted by an open letter to Gov. Smith in "The Atlantic," by Charles C. Marshall (1860-1938), lawyer and author of "The Roman Catholic Church in the Modern State." Gov. Smith's rebuttal is also reprinted as well as a final response from Marshall. The issue concludes with excerpts from the encyclical letters of Pope Leo XIII demonstrating the opposition by the Catholic Church toward American democratic principles. The Klan's sustained campaign against Gov. Smith was instrumental in his defeat (see Williams, "The Shadow of the Pope [1932]).… Read More

Atlanta: Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, 1929. Three uniformly sized (ca. 5" x 8"), stapled issues printed on newsprint, 22; 21; 21 pp. All in Fine condition with some negligible toning to newsprint. The first issue of the Klan Edition of the Kourier plus two subsequent and concurrent issues from 1929. Each cover bears the warning: "This is the Klan Edition of the Kourier. IT MUST NOT BE SHOWN TO ANY ALIEN NOR LEFT WHERE ANY ALIEN MAY SEE IT." Previously, the Kourier served a dual purpose of communicating with both its members and with the alien (i.e., non-Klan) world and thus found itself struggling with the differing nature of those objectives. The decision was made by the Imperial Wizard and the editorial board to establish this internal edition in order to communicate freely with its members while maintaining the public Kourier to "carry the message of the Klan to all the world." The internal edition was published monthly and sent to the Kligrapps who then distributed it to Klansmen at the rate of… Read More
