coRAL-REEF FINANCE.
Term Applied to the Patient, Organic
Growth Of Rothschild's
Fortune

'In the first place." it should be re-
membered that the Rothschild fortune
is not industrial" says Vance Thomp-
son, who writes of The Rothschilds Of
France in Everybody's. 1T has abb
sorbed many industries and many rail-
ways-like the igne du Nord-but al
ways by political and financial coups.
And it is the least frenzied Of. finance.
BY reason of its slow, cold, patient ac-
cumulation one might call it (since
phrases are the mode) coral-reef
finance, SO solidly has it been built up in
the dusk and silence of the underworld
of politics.
"And the fortune of the French house
to-day exceeds ten milliards. That
means 81 200, 100000. Imagination bog
giles at so huge a sum-it seems
merely an endless caravan of ciphers,
this 1O000,O00,0O0. of French money.
They own or control all the precious
metals, the prime materials, mines,
credit, the Bank of France, all the
means of transport, both railways and
waterways-so far as the canal system
goes-next to the city, which owns all
public buildings, they are the greatest
owners of lands end houses in Paris
round the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs
Elysees, the Bois de Boulogne, the Pare
Monceau, and, notably, the Care du
Nord, entire streets belong to the
Rothschilds; their chateaux dot the
provinces; in land alone they possess
400, 900 acres"
