I don't think our present resolutions go far enough, I may be incorrect, but in my understanding, the resolution won't go far enough to change the United Nations from a league of nations to a league of people. Until we have established this goal, we shall continue to befog and befuddle our own vision by clinging to the illusion that the present structure of the United Nations would work, if only the Russians would let it work. Chemical Company, Agfa Ansco Corporation, and Warburg & Company of Amsterdam. Senator McMahon proposed that we create some facts of our own. That is the political approach. The steady progress of the massed forces of humanity embattled in a common crusade against hunger, poverty, disease, and ignorance. Second. The only question is whether World Government will achieved by conquest or consent." (13) The stage is about to be set for the One World Government and the One World Religion. For Warburg, overcoming this obsession became a crusade. **The conspiracy subreddit is a thinking ground. You can't have law without government, and you can't have peace without law, that is part A; and, part B, the fact that you have to conduct a really serious world-wide war on hunger, disease, ignorance, and poverty if you want to have the people of the world on our side. Mr. WARBURG. Senator WILEY. [6][7] Harold Kellock of The Century Magazine, characterized Warburg as "the mildest-mannered man that ever personally conducted a revolution". (It is beside the point of this discussion to speculate upon which would have happened, if Russia had accepted Secretary Marshall's invitation.) This is the sort of bold affirmative action in the economic field which could, if pursued, create the climate for the attainment of our political objectivenamely, the establishment of a world community living at peace under law. God is everywhereeven in the news. But modern scholars such as Elmus Wicker,[19] Murray Rothbard,[20] William Greider,[21] and Griffin[18] believe that the Aldrich and OwenGlass bills are so similar that there is little doubt the latter plan was heavily influenced by the former. Mr. WARBURG. 81st Congress, 2d Session When those very suggestions get to the public, and they connect them with the daily news, a bad psychological condition is created. But what about fighting disease? The Ferguson Resolution is simply an approach through the United Nations, recognizing the United Nations, and presupposes that it has in it a possibility of expansion and proposes that that area of expansion should be explored under the United Nations as it is today, a trial-and-error approach, rather than contemplating a blueprint for the future. 105). Until we establish this goal, we shall continue to ask other peoples to unite with us only in the negative purpose of stopping Russia. In signing his name to this resolution, Senator McMahon recognized that there can be no peace without a world organization capable of enacting, administering, and enforcing world law, in such a way as to prevent aggression by any nation against another with any weapons of force-from hatchets to H-bombs. It would, I think, be foolish to think that this can happen in the immediate future as the result of any sort of negotiations. You can help bring hope today! It has to be something finer, a rebirth within the minds of men. The united determination of the majority of the world's peoples to establish a rule of law and thus eventually to free themselves from the burden of armaments and from the overhanging fear of annihilation; and. He became a director of the Council on Foreign Relations at its founding in 1921, remaining on the board until his death. There is a fourth contribution implicit in the Senator's proposal. In times of financial stress, each bank seeking to protect itself would pull back on credit, accentuating the general scarcity, causing interest rates to soar. The first half of this answer must be accepted as correct. That is a very dangerous condition for us to get into. I think we are talking about an aim to find a mechanism; something different. We then tried to switch to a positive approach, when Secretary Marshall, in launching his well-known project, declared: Our policy is not directed against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Our attempt to make this switch was frustrated by Molotov's famous walk-out, which doomed the Marshall plan to become primarily an instrument in the negative cold war. But interest rates are low, while inflation has remained quiescent and the dollar strong. Assume that we are successful in getting this resolution through. These are three major contributions to the making of an American policy that might lead to enduring peace. The creation of one such new fact has been boldly proposed by a member of your committee. Senator WILEY. You are not assuming that all the other folks on the earth are going to run us, are you? The United States does not want this war, and most authorities agree that Russia does not want it. Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited the U.S. during Jacksons reign, was baffled. It cost us very early as much per week as this program would cost us per year. We must be prepared to accept some sort of a composite pattern, in which we may preserve for ourselves the things we cherish, but in which others may be equally free to do the same. That is all I had in mind, Mr. Chairman. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest. However difficult it may be to bring it about, some form of world government, with agreed international law and means of enforcing the law, is inevitable., In 1950, James Paul Warburg, chairman of the Council of Foreign Relations, told a subcommittee of the United States Senate, We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. After his death in 1932, the Fed became a frequent target of anti-Semites, bank haters and conspiracy theorists. The American people, Schiff explained, do not want to centralize power. What I have in mind is that it is not a mandate because under the Constitution this is a question of foreign policy. I would hesitate to express an unconsidered opinion as to this, Senator. After our entry into World War I, Woodrow Wilson turned the government of the United States over to a triumvirate of his campaign backers, Paul Warburg, Bernard Baruch and Eugene Meyer. Senator WILEY. United States Senate His parents were Moritz and Charlotte Esther (Oppenheim) Warburg. The present European recovery program, the point 4 program, atomic energy development and, presumably, all other programs of economic rehabilitation and development would be combined in this single over-all plan. But Senator McMahon did more than merely repudiate the idea that security can be attained through maintaining the greatest arsenal of destructive weapons. The passage of this resolution seems to me the first prerequisite toward the development of an affirmative American policy which would lead us out of the valley of death and despair. Other articles where James Paul Warburg is discussed: Warburg family: James Paul Warburg (1896-1969), son of Paul M., was a banker and economist, member of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's original "brain trust," and author of several books. Senator McMahon's proposal recognizes the need for channeling the whole program through the United Nations. Mr. WARBURG. (This would require Janet Yellen and the other Federal Open Market Committee members to conduct deliberations on interest rates in open political theater.) He interrupted work there to undertake a world tour during the winter of 18911892. I think this is true, and not only with respect to Russia. Though his status as a foreigner, and a Jew, made him suspect in the eyes of many of his peers, Warburgs brilliance gradually won him acceptance. This page was last edited on 3 July 2022, at 14:07. Senator SMITH of New Jersey. Senator WILEY. Perhaps a shorthand device for stating the point would be to say that we must find a common pattern with Nehru, before we can even think of trying to find a common pattern with Stalin. I am assuming that a government will be run as our own Government is run, by the development of a fair process of . President Truman's point 4 program will apparently attempt to channel at least some of the proposed technical aid through the United Nations, but most, if not all, of the needed capital investments are expected to flow unilaterally from the United States to the participating countries, in accordance with bilateral bargains made outside of the United Nations. Call (800) 700-7000 or request prayer. Moreover, even if the Russians were to accept a modified Baruch plan, this would not suffice, because, at best, such a plan would outlaw only one type of weapon and one method of waging war. Mr. WARBURG. He resigned from the Board on August 9, 1918. Submitted by escamp on August 31, 2015 - 3:04pm. Its opponents today are more mainstream. Every freedom-loving person anywhere in the world must reject the attempts by governments, non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations to lead us into the abyss of a globalist hell on earth. Warburg, in Hamburg in 1868. Do you think, Mr. Warburg, that it should be a fundamental objective of the foreign policy of the United States to support and strengthen the United Nations and seek its development into a world federation open to all nations with defined and limited power? That is one of the difficulties we have. Senator SMITH of New Jersey. A regime which maintains itself at home by the use of force cannot readily renounce force as an instrument of foreign policy. It never occurred to us that the principle, which we recognized as valid with respect to atomic weapons, was equally valid with regard to all weapons. Warburg would recognize and regret this suspicion. This shy and sensitive man, Kellock continued, "imposed his idea on a nation of a hundred million people". In March of 1929 Paul Warburg issued a tip the Crash was coming, and the largest investors got out of the market, according to Allen and Abraham in "None Dare Call it Conspiracy." . He holds degrees from Moore College in Australia, and Fuller Theological Seminary in California, with a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Emory University. 1.8M subscribers in the conspiracy community. V. SHOULD WE LET RUSSIA PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW OVER-ALL PLAN? No one knows what the next war would cost. "[22] Despite some minor quibbles, Warburg himself largely celebrated the OwenGlass Bill in the North American Review. It would, on the contrary, create the only conditions in which private capital might be willing and able to make an important contribution. This is something like a community which decides to outlaw murder by the use of firearms, enacts a law to that effect, and hires a policeman to enforce it, but leaves murder by knives, hatchets, and poison to the discretion of individuals. The second of these new facts would be dynamic. But it will, at long last, chart our own goal and enable us to steer a straight course toward a clearly seen objective. But, once we have accepted it, by adopting the concurrent resolution now before you, we shall be in a position to proceed with Senator McMahon's cooperative plan, hand in hand with the majority of the world's peoples. I am fully aware that the mere passage of this resolution will not solve the complex problems with which we are confronted. I am saying we should proceed, irrespective of a treaty with the Russians. Without objection, it will be included. The movement toward a one-world government began with a few individuals in the 20th century. Mr. Hickerson of the Department of State listed them most carefully. I just wondered whether you wanted the United States to commit itself to that approach, and to the implication of the word federation at this time. Warburg, he barked, where is your paper?. What we need to do is to outlaw war itself. Warburg became a U.S. citizen, and played a major behind-the-scenes role in drafting legislation. On the other hand, it is also quite possible that its echoes will die away within a few weeks or months, if the flame of hope which it kindled is allowed to flicker and die out. You must credit the Forward, retain our pixel and preserve our canonical link in Google search. In contrast to Senate Resolution 56, other proposals before you seem to me either to set a goal short of what is needed to ensure peace, or to foreclose the ultimate attainment of a universal organization by an over-eager acceptance of half measures, on the theory that half a loaf is better than none. These studies led me, 10 years ago, to the conclusion that the great question of our time is not whether or not one world can be achieved, but whether or not one world can be achieved by peaceful means. Warburg once wrote, in despair of ever launching a central bank, that an abhorrence of both extremes that is, of Washington and of Wall Street had led to an almost fanatic conviction in favor of extreme decentralization. A few days later, Stillman paid Warburg a visit. I think that is all this resolution commits us to, to search for a mechanism to create the rule of law. Not long after he arrived, interest rates in New Yorks chaotic money market soared to 100 percent. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent." We have to find the mechanism which will enable us to substitute the rule of law for the rule of anarchy in the world. February 17, 1950, by James Paul Warburg ("Angel" to and active in the United World Federalists), son of Paul Moritz Warburg, nephew of Felix Warburg and of Jacob Schiff both of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. which poured millions into the Russian Revolution through James' brother Max, banker to the German government.See the Sission Report Added to timeline: Elbert D. Thomas, Utah, Chairman Freed from its self-defeating proviso, Senator McMahon's proposal can become a mighty weapon for peace. In 1902 they relocated to New York, with Warburg joining his in-laws firm. This is extremely unlikely. No, but I think it would get us on a course with a charted goal toward which we could steer, which would enable us to meet the crises, and without such a goal, I don't see how we can, because we will go on zigzagging. This declaration of principle remains as yet unimplemented and the legislation now before Congress would, if enacted, constitute only a very small first step in its execution. They have been trying in every way, through the United Nations, through their ambassadors, to try to reach some workable arrangement with Joe Stalin. We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. I am interested, vitally interested, because I think that is the crux of the thing-how are we going to win the battles of the mind? Mr. WARBURG. The Senator envisaged a cooperative program, to which other nations would likewise contributea program lasting perhaps 5 years and calling for a total contribution of $50,000,000,000 from the United States. Concerning its financial system, he argued, "The United States is in fact at about the same point that had been reached by Europe at the time of the Medicis, and by Asia, in all likelihood, at the time of Hammurabi. Senator WILEY. Yet even such a regime can, in the long run, be brought to accept new facts which alter the conception of its own self-interest and self-preservation. Senator SMITH of New Jersey. What Does "One World Government" Mean? Today, that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we have known." . It would, in effect, establish world government in the limited field of atomic energy, but it would leave the use of all other types of weapons to the discretion of nation-states dwelling in a state of international anarchy. Theodor Francis Green, Rhode Island In one stranger-than-fiction episode, he and two other bankers were invited by an influential U.S. senator to Jekyll Island, off the Georgia coast, for a secret drafting session. The Group's grand design is for "a One World Government (World Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially regulated by one 'World (Central) Bank' using one global currency." . I am not assuming that this world federation is a device for extending our own power.

It recognizes that there is no cure for this evil short of making the United Nations into a universal organization capable of enacting, interpreting, and enforcing world law to the degree necessary to outlaw force, or the threat of force, as an instrument of foreign policy. If the policy suggested by Senator McMahon is a wise policy for the United States to pursue, why must it be made conditional upon any Russian action? Mr. Chairman, I prefer Senate Resolution 56 to other resolutions now before you for two major reasons: First: Senate Resolution 56 goes to the root of the evil in the present state of international anarchy. Money shortages and panics were common; depressions were not infrequent. If we said, This is something we have to do, and did it, we would find an awful lot of other people coming along who, once something was started, might be persuaded to join us. He thought the Second Bank was a tool of moneyed elites (just as populists today accuse the Fed of favoring Wall Street). Fear-inspired negative action makes poor cement for unity. We are not saying this is the mechanism by which you do it, we are saying you have to find it. I am not assuming that we will run the world government. Actual legislation was still years away. Warburg was admitted to a partnership in the family firm in 1895. Mr. WARBURG. By implication, it recognizes the futility of all military aid as opposed to economic assistance. I don't think then, even if you attained world government, you would necessarily have a guaranty of peace-I don't think you can have peace without world government, I think we need to proceed on two parallel lines, one political, and one economic. Now the amazing thing was this: We, the United States, were willing to put forward this far-seeing proposal and to abide by it, but without recognizing the revolutionary nature of our own proposition. It may, hitch together, because that is only half of what I want to say. Mr. WARBRG. We must make sure that whatever we do, it does not go out to the public that at long last we have found the magic something that is going to bring peace on earth. . Senator SMITH of New Jersey. As long as you have a world organization which is in effect nothing more than a multilateral agreement between sovereign states, you have precisely the situation you describe. The virtue of Senate Concurrent Resolution 56 is precisely that it does not commit us to the narrow pattern which the State Department dreads. He was well known for being the financial adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt. We have been so naive in our world dealings, as you know, with the Soviet Union particularly and with others, and my whole thought in questioning you is to see or make sure that the thing we want, in other words, people sitting down, nations sitting down together, keeping faith with one another, things that we want to be--that our wishes do not lead us up other blind alleys that we would regret. They have pointed out that, if Russia would not accept the Baruch plan when we had an atomic monopoly, she would certainly not accept it now; in other words, that the Baruch plan is out of date. The Acheson-Lilienthal report, from which the Baruch plan derived, was a revolutionary document. It outlaws one method of waging war. Yes, but nothing I ever said, or that I have ever written indicated that I think that by passing a resolution we will have the millennium, nor are we talking about a mechanism. Yes, that is the thing, and there is always the danger that because men of high standing, like yourself, get up here and talk about a mechanism, that some people believe it is going to give us the thing right off the bat, ipso facto, so to speakit is going to be self-operating. Congresss ire stems largely from libertarians who disdain the Fed as a meddling Washington bureaucracy. Clearly we can afford it, if the program can reasonably be expected to get us off the greased slide that leads to atomic war and on to the long and arduous road that leads to peace. You don't claim Senate Resolution 56 would meet any of the immediate present crises before us? I couldn't support that because it doesn't seem to go to the root of the matter, which is simply that the United Nations in its present form is a league of sovereign states, and the root of the evil is that it is not a league of sovereign people. Mr. WARBURG. That condition is that only those nations shall be eligible to participate in the plan whose peoples have made known their will to accept the rule of lawnot merely in the field of atomic weapons but in the whole field of international relationsto the degree necessary in order to outlaw force, or the threat of force, as a method of settling disputes. I think the essential thing we should undertake is that we declare our willingness to participate in some sort of world organization capable of enacting, administering, interpreting, and, enforcing world law, whether you call it a federation, a government, or world order, I don't think that matters. What I attempted to suggest, and let me restate it because I think it is the nub of the problem. We are committed to delivering quality independent Christian journalism you can trust. Taken together, these two facts would exert a mounting pressure toward cooperation upon the Kremlin. To him, Americas banking system resembled a town in which each household had a backyard well but lacked a general water supply. In order not to trespass upon your time, Mr. Chairman, I have left a number of gaps in the presentation of the suggested modification of the McMahon proposal. IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 56, EFFECT OF RESOLUTION ON PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=James_Warburg_before_the_Subcommittee_on_Revision_of_the_United_Nations_Charter&oldid=12448792, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. He was a member of Temple Emanu-El in New York City. I gather from your statement that you are not prepared to go as far as the so-called Hutchins plan, which is a proposed set-up for a world federationyou are not prepared to go that far? It restores the original Marshall plan concept. It seems to me that, were he to do this, Senator McMahon would have a theoretically impeccable plan. For example, we are trying desperately to integrate western Europe by one major effort, while making another wholly separate effort to raise the living standards of the so-called underdeveloped areas of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Paul Warburg, on February 17, 1950, while speaking before the United States Senate proclaimed: "We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The Warburgs were the parents of a son, James Paul Warburg, and a daughter, Bettina Warburg Grimson. [4], Warburg became known as a persuasive advocate of central banking in America. Now there is one difficulty that has been raised in these hearings, in regard to a particular resolution, and that is to the use of the word federation, and that is on the theory that it prejudges the kind of world set-up to exist. As he wrote of the Fed, I feel for it, in a sense, as I would for my child.. This assumption, in turn, rests upon Russian acceptance of a modified Baruch plan for the international control of atomic energy. Really. When America entered the European war against Germany, however, his position became awkward. [12], Warburg's ideas gained a wider hearing after the panic of 1907 engulfed the countrys financial system,[13] and he subsequently published two more articles elaborating and defending his plans, "A Plan for a Modified Central Bank"[14] and "A United Reserve Bank of the United States". Senator SMITH of New Jersey. The last war cost us over $1,000,000,000,000. In due course we shall have to define more closely what we mean by world government and by what steps we propose to get there. The minute you have government and law, and law enforcement, there is no longer a question of whether you are willing to stick to a contract, you have to, or the policeman will come and take you in to jail. Russell Leffingwell, who served variously as the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, head of the Council on Foreign Relations, and chairman of J.P. Morgan,[5] credited Warburg with doing "yeoman's service in preaching the doctrines and practices of modern [central] European banking" while all other "friends of sound money" were so occupied with battling against the free silver movement that they gave scant thought to the need for currency reform. They settled in Hamburg, but Nina yearned to be near her parents. [The Current Affairs Press, New York 17, N. Sir John Boyd Orr, a Scottish doctor and politician, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949 for his research into improving global food production. One of the things I think we have been doing too much, is that we have stopped ourselves from getting started in the right direction because we then say, conveniently, Oh, well, the other fellow won't do it anyway, so what's the use.. I am aware, Mr. Chairman, of the exigencies of your crowded schedule and of the need to be brief, so as not to transgress upon your courtesy in granting me a hearing. He wrote that Americans were obsessed with a fear of centralization.. Once we declare our own willingness to transform the United Nations into an organization capable of enforcing peace under law, we shall find ourselves in company with the entire non-Soviet world. I am James P. Warburg, of Greenwich, Conn., and am appearing as an individual. In 1907, just as Warburg had predicted, a panic virtually shut down the banking system. That is a consummation devoutly to be wished for, but are you not really assuming that we have won the battle of ideas in the minds of men, so that-we all see alike?
