Much amusement has been created
here in political and financial circles
by the attack of Henry Ford’s
“Dearborn Independent” on Paul M.
Warburg. In an article published in
the “Dearborn Independent” a writ-
ter begins a series to prove that the
Federal Reserve System is an instru-
ment for foisting of German finan-
cial methods on the United States,
which is supposedly only a step to-'
ward the control of American indus-
try and business by German bank-
ers. Paul M. Warburg is indicated-as
the head and shoulders of this move-
ment.
Also Bernard Baruch and Aaron

surprise, are made to appear in the

the barring of other classes of work-

an economic error.

For instance, it is stated that in
March, 1923, Congress authorized
the Federal Reserve Bank to dis-
count credit paper including foreign
acceptances. Of course, the bank has
had that power since it was created
in 1914. The act of Congress men-
tioned was one aimed at agricultural
relief.
It is further stated that in March,
1924, the Reserve Board took advan-
tage Of this act of Congress. What
is evidently referred to here is a
Jew, and his sons, have also been ar-
rested. Several high officials of the
Prussian State Bank, are involved in
this affair.
It is alleged, that the Prussian
State Bank lost a sum equal to its
total capital and reserves because of
these transactions. The anti-Semitic
press uses this occasion for anti-
Semitic propaganda.
