ter all are known, but from the finan-
ciers who operate behind the scenes.
Follow Perilous Detectives.
"The phrase international finan-
cier' seems to imply that the cosmo-
politan bankers represent some form
Of internationalism. This is the re-
verse of the truth. Along with GER
tain legitimate and necessary func-
tons the very nature of their work
compels them to follow dangerous and
reactionary detectives. They seek to
export capital regardless of the results
on the exporting nations, regardless
of the fact that such capital may be
much more needed at home, regard
less Of the fact that the nation loses
entire control over that capital over
long periods.
I'm so far as they regard them
selves as pure and simple business
men the international bankers do not
hold themselves responsible for the
pOllllCdl IeSulIS OF what InSy uOs IOr
the ENHANCEMENT of our kovernment
to protect their rights in politically
backward countries; for the fact that
the transfer Of American capital to
one nation rather than another gives
certain American interests a special
concern with that nation as against
other nations regardless of the inter-
ests Of America as a whole.
Exported capital is expatriated cap
ital and international bankers had bet
ter be called denationalized bankers
as far as many of their functions are
concerned. Talk about super pow
er! International finance is today
the super power. The only question
Is whether that super power can be
offset and matched by a democratic
international body which has at least
that degree Of super power necessary
to deal on equal terms with super ma
tional finance"
