The Rothschild Dynasty 77<br />
leaders slipped out of <strong>the</strong> city and made <strong>the</strong>ir way to England,<br />
Switzerland and Latin America. The Paris Commune having run<br />
its course, collapsed in a frenzy of blood lust. There appears to be<br />
little doubt that <strong>the</strong> vast sum of money it took to run <strong>the</strong> Commune<br />
(it only lasted for two months) must have come from <strong>the</strong><br />
Rothschilds.<br />
The leaders of <strong>the</strong> Commune spent 42 million francs, an<br />
enormous sum of money for that day. Even with <strong>the</strong> most<br />
prolific squandering it is hard to see how it could have<br />
spent as much as one third of that amount. This means that<br />
some 25 million francs disappeared in some direction,<br />
probably Switzerland, and possibly in <strong>the</strong> baggage of <strong>the</strong><br />
head of <strong>the</strong> Bank of France, or ra<strong>the</strong>r its Assistant<br />
Governor, <strong>the</strong> Marquis de Poleis, who accompanied<br />
Beslay to Switzerland, when <strong>the</strong> latter was given a safe<br />
conduct pass to leave <strong>the</strong> country after <strong>the</strong> suppression of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Commune. (The Untold History, John Reeves)<br />
The general feeling at <strong>the</strong> time was that Beslay, who had<br />
been appointed to <strong>the</strong> Bank of France by <strong>the</strong> Paris Commune (in<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r words, indirectly by <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds) had rescued <strong>the</strong> money<br />
for <strong>the</strong>m and that <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds arranged <strong>the</strong> safe-conduct<br />
passes.<br />
In any event, <strong>the</strong> Paris Commune brought shame and<br />
disgrace to <strong>the</strong> people of France and sent <strong>the</strong> Socialist movement<br />
into a state of decline. It is interesting to note that <strong>the</strong> Preliminary<br />
Peace Treaty of Versailles had been negotiated in part by Alfonso<br />
Rothschild, <strong>the</strong> son of James Rothschild. Alfonso concluded <strong>the</strong><br />
financial negotiations with Bismarck and agreed to payment of <strong>the</strong><br />
five billion francs demanded for reparations.<br />
Eduard Rothschild was <strong>the</strong> son of Alfonso Rothschild,<br />
<strong>the</strong> eldest son of James Rothschild, who died on May 26, 1905,<br />
