NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Paul M Warburg, international financier, who predicted the 1929 stock mar ket collapse six months in advance, died here Sunday night as result of pneumonia. He was 63 years old.
 Years after he had established himself as an international banker, it was said of Paul M. Warburg, that, while his name was one of the best known in financial circles, his was one of the least known personalities.
 He belonged to that class of bankers among whom reticenc eis an outstanding characteristic. How ever, there were occasions when he felt impelled to speak his mind on financial subjects or conditions and when he spoke Wall Street listened.
 Criticizes Orgies
 One of these occasions was early in 1929, when he criticized as "the present orgies of unrestranied spec ulation," the gigantic trading on the New York Stock Exchange
 Stock Exchange operators said MT. Warburg, ''have for many months governed the flow of money not only in the United States, but in the principal marts of the world" He added to his declaration that the Federal Reserve Board through it's failure to check specu- lative credit had relinquished it's leadership in the money market to the stock exchange operators.
 He referred to the volume of stock trading at the time as de bauch," and cited figures to show that 90 representative industrial, utility and railroad stocks had in- creased $15,500, 100000 in value in two years. This accretion, he in- sisted, was in a majority of cases, quite unrelated to increase in plant, property and earning power" :"
 M Warburg was close student of international conditions and business, especially from a banking and financial angle, and made fre- quent trips to Europe to study questions as they arose. As one of the speakers at the Institute of Politics at Williams College in 1922 he criticized the policy of the United States toward Europe.
 Born In Germany
 Born at Hamburg, Germany. on August 10, 1868, MT. Warburg was the son of Moritz and Charlotte Oppenheim Warburg. After com pleting his education he and his brother, Felix M. Warburg, came to the United States and entered the banking business, in which two other brothers were engaged in Germany.
 Paul and Felix eventually became members of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company and gradually extended their banking
