Since the fall <strong>of</strong> France, in June 1940, the {Banque Nationale pour le<br />
Commerce et l'Industrie} <strong>of</strong> Laval expanded very rapidly into North Africa,<br />
and opened branches in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Dakar. According to<br />
American investigator, Alexander Sacks, Laval's Bank had become, in<br />
France, "a valuable adjunct to German economic penetration." (Alexander<br />
Sacks, {Confidential report on {THE BANQUE NATIONALE POUR LE<br />
COMMERCE ET L'INDUSTRIE}, Economic Warfare Unit, Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Justice, New York. April 211, 1943. P.1)<br />
The B.N.C.I. Laval Bank was run by a boyhood friend <strong>of</strong> Laval,<br />
Albert Buisson, who was also a director in the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer<br />
du Nord, a Rothschild interest. Buisson was also a director <strong>of</strong> the Societe des<br />
Usines Chimiques Rhone-Poulenc, a chemical pharmaceutical company<br />
which became the key entry-point <strong>of</strong> the French Chemical Industries into the<br />
early Franco-German collaboration, especially with the I.G. Farben Industry.<br />
The two companies became jointly run during the Prime Ministership <strong>of</strong><br />
Laval in September 1931. According to Sacks: " The B.N.C.I., at the<br />
outbreak <strong>of</strong> World War II, had an unbroken record <strong>of</strong> expansion and<br />
intimacy with the varying French governments unequalled by any other<br />
independent French non-government bank. The months <strong>of</strong> the so-called<br />
phony war from September 1939 to May 1940, saw the bank growing<br />
stronger and larger and ever closer to the individuals who held power in the<br />
government. After the fall <strong>of</strong> France, the bank came under the direct<br />
supervision <strong>of</strong> the German authorities." (Sacks, Op.Cit., p. 15)<br />
The B.N.C.I. served primarily as a conduit for French occupation<br />
funds to pay from 50 to 75 billion francs a month for the cost <strong>of</strong> maintaining<br />
the German troops garrisoned in the French occupied territories. Sacks<br />
estimated that from the time <strong>of</strong> the Armistice until May 11, 1941, that is a<br />
little over a year, the occupation costs amounted to 400,000,000 million<br />
francs per day! The affiliates <strong>of</strong> B.N.C.I. in the United States were Chase<br />
Bank and Morgan & Co., Inc., the same banks that had bankrolled a coup<br />
against FDR in 1934, and that Veteran <strong>of</strong> Foreign War member, Republican<br />
Presidential Candidate, Smedley Butler, had denounced publicly to the<br />
press.<br />
The B.N.C.I established itself in North Africa under the name <strong>of</strong><br />
{Banque de l'Union Nord Africaine <strong>of</strong> Algiers} B.U.N.A.A.. With a<br />
personal friend <strong>of</strong> Laval, and a former member <strong>of</strong> the fascist organization<br />
