RHODES-CARNEGIE--LORD
LIFFE-MORGAN.
Rhodes laid the foundation of the
future policy of reclaiming the Unit
cd States as an integral part OF the
! British Empire by the establishment
I Of an enormous trust fund to carry
out this object; Carnegie, coming in
to the open, lulls the national con-
science by large benefices in the
form of free Libraries, advocates the
abolition OF the Fourth Of July as
our national holiday and demands
| that the capital OF the Western
/ Hemisphere shall be located at OF
tawa; Lord Northclffe controls the
press of New York and other large
cities, and J. p. Morgan takes the
first steps to pool and consolidate
| the financial interests OF the two
countries, turning the national re-
serve bank act to that account Gas
| will shortly be shown in Congress)
in the furthcrance OF the great con-
| spiracy, while William Bauchop VIII
son, Secretary of Labor, born in
Blantyre, Scotland, by an official
| order of October 9, 1915, decides
! that Americans forcswearing their
| allegiance to the United States to
serve a foreign potentate, shall not
have their political rights questioned
| Vpon their return as criDples from
| the trenches in Europe after fighting
for the British King. One army,
/ one country one soul!
The merging of American with
! British citizenship is oXtolled public
ly by the New Yorl; Times in a re-
! rent article on the late Henry James.
The American novelist cast Off his
allegiance to his native country as he
might cast off worn suit Of clothes
and became a subject OF the British
King This Notwithstanding, the
| Times declared: He was never more
loyal to American traditions and
! principles than when he became
| British citizen" And the New Re-
public in March declared: THE poll
| cy demanded by the ending of Amer
| lean isolation is an explicit and in
| innate political association with
1 Great Britain
The sinister effect of the provi-
sions OF the secret will of Cecil
| Rhodes is thus everywhere discerni-
bic. Late in january the vener-
able Joseph II. Choate, at ban
| quet OF the notorious Pilgrims So
/ ciety, addressed the guests in the
words. Il now ask you all to rise
and drink good old loyal toast to
| the President and the King" Former
| Assistant United States District-At-
| tornoy, James NJ Beck is thus
| quoted in an ottawa dispatch to the
! London Times Of January 80: ''Mr.
1 Beck affirmed his strong conviction
! that the cause OF tho Allies was one
! OF right and justice, and he ex-
! pressed his eager desire to see his
country fighting alongside Great
| Britain and France" Under the
| heading, Prepare to Enter the War
| DR.. Eliot's Message" the venerable
! President Emeritus Of Harvard, with
J a frivolity that suggests the criminal
/ folly by which the degenerate Italian
poet D'Annunzio helped to hurl his
country into the war, sounds the
slogan Of the Pan Angles in the New
York Times OF March l . as follows:
1T is time for the deepest-rooted
and strongest OF republics to con-
slider how it can be best bring help
| to bleeding France and Great Bri-
tain" Almost identically the words
/ Of Messrs. Root and Choate, as pri-
! vately uttered early last summer,
that IN her last extremity the United
States would come to the aid Of
! Great Britain.
! The New York Globe OF March
| 14th editorially endorses Prof. Eliot
! and Clifford Pinchot in their agita-
ton for war. The American Rights
Society met at Carnegie Hall in New
York on the evening of March 14th
and adopted resolutions intended to
| rush us into the conflict at tho side
Of the Allies. There is a discernible
connection in this widespread cam
! paign. although mainly confined TO
the East where the Tory element has
always had it's most formidable
strongholds.
Time for Congress to Act.
Thus the virus Of high treason
under the mask OF serving civiliza-
tion has penetrated the whole politi-
cal system OF our country. The
Rhodes trust fund has its priests and
pricstesses. Witness tho statement
Of Mrs John Astor, chairman Of the
American fAeN CfOSS III HIchlDllldlh,
in the New York Times Of March 5
last. "hn alliance of tho English
speaking nations would be the
greatest ideal toward which to
work" George Louis Beer antic-
ipatcd Mrs Astor in the Forum for
May. 1915:
THE only practical method is to
embody the existing cordial feeling
between England and the United
States in more or less formal al
lance, so that the two countries can
bring their joint influence and pres
sure to bear wherever their common
interests and political principles may
be jeopardized."
According to Prof Roland G.
Usher that alliance has been in sec
ret existence since 1897. The al
lance is a verbal agreement binding
this Government to respect certain
claims Of the Allies" he guardedly
admitted in the St Louis Star OF
May Q, 1915. The agreement is dis
