These banks, In October, 1915, be-
gan to put pressure on Europe, es-
pecially England, by saying, mo
more short term loans" really a
threat to cut off munitions unless
England surrendered the securities
she held in her colonial enterprls-
es. England, driven to the wall,
threatened to disIocate the entire
capitalist system by forming . pool
with Russia and France, shipping a
billion dollars gold to the Unitsd
States for nunltlons-then de-mone-
tixlns gold as money standard.
Why America Went to War.
II England had done this, the Unit.
ed States would have lost the basis
of world power, and stood a chance
to lose what she had already gained.
The United States retreated, fell in
with England, Wilson announced that
economic neutrality was abandoned, !"
and soon abandoned all neutrality and
led the nation into war against Ger
many, Ito make the world safe for
democracy"
But the unsettled contest between
England and the United States had
been the background, the open issue,
OF everything since 1920, the Dawes
plan, the reparations bank IN Ger
many. the war debts and so on. The
speaker showed how imperialism
clutched out with the talons of finance
which gained its power by making fic-
ticious capital. by ability to create
deposits. The deposits are. he declar-
ed, twenty times the real money in
existence, and he traced the method
whereby the federal reserve had as
sisted in enlarging this ability.
This pyramid Of credit stood up SO
far because of the quick turnover of
currency, a Twenty-Five day turnover
being made OF all money IN the ma
tional economy. There were $1,000
0O0, 900 in credits without any coilater-
al. The machinery as a whole. Mr.
Odds said, was the machinery OF finan-
cial Imperialism, which he compared
or contrasted to the imperialism OF
the slave empire of Rome.
