This guilt-by-influence tactic is Ingrams’ main weapon in The Sins of G.K. Chesterton. He tries to show how Belloc and Cecil directly shaped Gilbert’s prejudices, but also how Gilbert was indirectly swayed by Ada Jones. Ada had tremendous influence over Cecil, by whom, according to Ingrams, Gilbert was “controlled and directed.”.
In his concern to redress his past sins of imbalance, Ingrams adds a few new ones in the opposite direction, neglecting Chesterton’s sympathy for the Jews of Russia, suffering Tsarist pogroms, 5 and his defence of the Jews of Germany against Nazi atrocities in the 1930s.

The chief sin with which Ingrams charges Chesterton was anti-Semitism, which he contracted first from Belloc and then, more virulently, from Cecil. Belloc’s anti-Semitism was of the French variety. He felt that Jewish finance was corrupting Catholic Europe.
