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 />

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 />
