Deflation of 1937<br />
'"The principal factor of success in political is the secrecy<br />
of its undertakings; the word should not agree with the deed."<br />
—From Protocol 7.<br />
It should always be remembered that the Federal Reserve<br />
System was created for the avowed purpose of supplying the<br />
country with an adequate volume of currency and credit. At the<br />
time of its consideration and adoption the commerce of the<br />
country was in the process of recovery from the panic of 1907.<br />
This panic was, as has been stated, a manipulated panic, precipitated<br />
by the central reserve banks of New York City, and primarily<br />
due to the fact that we did not have a sufficient volume<br />
of money in circulation; the system was changed for the purpose<br />
of supplying such volume.<br />
There was universal demand for such change, led by the<br />
bankers of New York City. So eager were they for a change of<br />
system that the elder J. P. Morgan and the elder Geo. F. Baker<br />
(president of the First National Bank of New York) testified<br />
before the Pujo Committee that there was a "<strong>Money</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>" and<br />
that it was in the public interest that it be controlled. This admission<br />
was at the time a matter of great surprise; the purpose<br />
of it is now better understood. In the light of subsequent events<br />
and of our present knowledge, we are justified in suspecting<br />
that the panic of 1907 was brought about for the purpose of establishing<br />
the system we now have.<br />
I prefer to believe in the integrity and sincerity of Woodrow<br />
Wilson. I supported him for the presidency, in ignorance, however,<br />
of the fact that his campaign was financed by Jews. Despite<br />
my bias, I must admit that the Wilson Administration was<br />
responsible for the deflation of 1920.<br />
President Wilson appointed Paul Warburg, a member of the<br />
<strong>Rothschild</strong> banking firm, as deputy governor and later governor<br />
of the Federal Reserve System. Warburg was the real author<br />
of the act and was also author of the Aldrich bill. He openly advocated<br />
a central bank, and publicly testified that the system<br />
could be transformed by administration into a central bank,—<br />
and he proceeded to so transform it. He proposed the amendment<br />
that gave the system the power of deflation, which President<br />
Wilson approved. Warburg, however, resigned before the
