The Nature of the Syndicate 31
a world government. 34 Its leaders in London were Lionel Curtis, secretary
to Milner in South Africa and founder of the quarterly Round Table in
1910, and Lord Lothian (a relative of the current British Conservative Party
Shadow Foreign Secretary, Michael Ancram, whose father inherited the
title from a cousin), John Maynard Keynes, and Alfred Zimmern (an Oxford
Professor and author of The League of Nations and the Rule of Law), who
introduced his pupil Arnold Toynbee, the celebrated historian. 35 Meetings
began in July 1920, and Toynbee wrote the first annual International Survey
in 1924. 36 In a speech given in Copenhagen in 1931 Toynbee declared: "We
are at present working with all our might to wrest this mysterious force
called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local national states of our
world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing
with our hands." 37
John D. Rockefeller made a contribution of £8,000 pa from 1932, 38
and was known to Toynbee. On the American CFR side, the leaders were
Woodrow Wilson, Col. House, Christian Herter, Tasker Bliss (acting chief
of staff to US troops during the First World War and US delegate to the
Paris Peace Conference), and John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen
Dulles. Walter Lippmann was influential, as were Robert Schuman and
Paul Warburg. 39
The link between Chatham House and the CFR (see below) was strong
because of the friendship between John Foster Dulles, chairman of the
Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Arnold Toynbee, who regularly
exchanged visits. "Rockefellers" partly funded Toynbee through Dulles. 40
When Toynbee went to the US, Dulles arranged speaking engagements
for him through the CFR. 41 Both men believed that the nation-state should
die, although they had differing political views: Dulles was a Republican
who saw the end of Europe's nation-states as guaranteeing peace, while
Toynbee was virtually a Marxist and was ideologically opposed to the
nation-state. 42
Toynbee was the central figure at Chatham House from 1925 until he
retired in 1955; he was Director of Studies there (as well as being Professor
at the London School of Economics, which had been founded by the Fabians
in 1895) and he was central to the campaign for world federation. 43 His 12
volumes of A Study of History brought him international fame, and he
exercised the influence this gave him by arguing that nation-states should
be destroyed 44 and replaced by large blocs which would one day lead to
