. 95In 1938, the London Schroder Bank became the German financial agent in GreatBritain.The New York branch of Schroder had been merged in 1936 withthe Rockefellers, as Schroder, Rockefeller, Inc.at 48 Wall Street.Carlton P.Fuller of Schroder was president of this firm, and Avery Rockefeller wasvice-president.He had been a behind the scenes partner of J.HenrySchroder for years, and had set up the construction firm of BechtelCorporation, whose employees (on leave) now play a leading role in theReagan Administration, as Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State.Ladislas Farago, in The Game of the Foxes,68 reported that Baron Williamde Ropp, a double agent, had penetrated the highest echelons in pre-WorldWar II days, and Hitler relied upon de Ropp as his confidential consultantabout British affairs.It was de Ropp s advice which Hitler followed when herefused to invade England.Victor Perlo writes, in The Empire of High Finance:"The Hitler government made the London Schroder Bank their financialagent in Britain andAmerica.Hitler s personal banking account was with J.M.Stein Bankhaus,the German subsidiaryof the Schroder Bank.F.C.Tiarks of the British J.Henry Schroder Company__________________________67 Antony C.Sutton, WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER, 76Press, Seal Beach, California, 1976, p.7968 Ladislas Farago, The Game of the Foxes, 1973was a member of the Anglo-German Fellowship with two other partners asmembers, and acorporate membership."69The story goes much further than Perlo suspects.J.Henry Schroder WASthe Anglo-German Fellowship, the English equivalent of the America Firstmovement, and also attracting patriots who did not wish to see their nationinvolved in a needless war with Germany.During the 1930 s, until theoutbreak of World War II, the Schroders poured money into the Anglo-German Fellowship, with the result that Hitler was convinced he had a largepro-German fifth column in England composed of many prominentpoliticians and financiers.The two divergent political groups in the 1930 s inEngland were the War Party, led by Winston Churchill, who furiouslydemanded that England go to war against Germany, and the AppeasementParty, led by Neville Chamberlain.After Munich, Hitler believed theChamberlain group to be the dominant party in England, and Churchill a 96minor rabble-rouser.Because of his own financial backers, the Schroders, weresponsoring the Appeasement Party, Hitler believed there would be no war.He did not suspect that the backers of the Appeasement Party, now thatChamberlain had served his purpose in duping Hitler, would castChamberlain aside and make Churchill the Prime Minister.It was not onlyChamberlain, but also Hitler, who came away from Munich believing that itwould be "Peace in our time."The success of the Schroders in duping Hitler into this belief explains severalof the most puzzling questions of World War II.Why did Hitler allow theBritish Army to decamp from Dunkirk and return home, when he could havewiped them out? Against the frantic advice of his generals, who wished todeliver the coup de grace to the English Army, Hitler held back because hedid not wish to alienate his supposed vast following in England.For the samereason, he refused to invade England during a period when he had militarysuperiority, believing that it would not be necessary, as the Anglo-GermanFellowship group was ready to make peace with him.The Rudolf Hess flightto England was an attempt to confirm that the Schroder group was ready tomake peace and form a common bond against the Soviets.Rudolf Hesscontinues to languish in prison today, many years after the war, because hewould, if released,__________________________69 Victor Perlo, The Empire of High Finance, International Publishers, 1957,p.177testify that he had gone to England to contact the members of the Anglo-German Fellowship, that is, the Schroder group, about ending the war.*If anyone supposes this is all ancient history, with no application to thepresent political scene, we introduce the name of John Lowery Simpson ofSacramento, California.Although he appears for the first time in Who sWho in America for 1952, Mr.Simpson states that he served under HerbertHoover on the Commission for Relief in Belgium from 1915 to 1917; U.S.Food Administration, 1917 to 1918, American Relief Commission, 1919, andwith P.N.Gray Company, Vienna, 1919 to 1921.Gray was the Chief ofMaritime Transportation for the U.S.Food Administration, which enabledhim to set up his own shipping company after the war.Like other Hooverhumanitarians, Simpson also joined the J.Henry Schroder BankingCompany (Adolf Hitler s personal bankers) and the J.Henry Schroder TrustCompany.He also became a partner of Schroder-Rockefeller Company whenthat investment trust backed a construction company which became theworld s largest, the firm of Bechtel Incorporated.Simpson was chairman ofthe finance committee of Bechtel Company, Bechtel International, andCanadian Bechtel [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
