PRELUDE TO MUNICH

In Billings during the summer OF
sives, one of the leaders of the move
ment In the state said to me, 'Hamil-
ton, there will not be another World
war because the capitalists will not
finance it." To this statement | re-
piled that forces were even then in
World war within the space of our
own lives and quite probably within
the next five years; that capitalists,
realizing that the crash of capitalism
might bring on a revolution in which
they might lose all their wealth, and
possibly their lives, would willingly
expend ninety per cent of their CAPT
tai in the hope of preserving the re-
naming ten per cent-and their own
worthless hides.
The az G. Farbenindustrie" Che
capitalist group of Germany headed
by Carl Duisberg and composed of
Fritz Thyssen, Krupp Won Boehlen,
Max Ilgner and other leading German
financiers had not yet chosen to
throw the full weight Of their finan-
cial backing behind Adolph Schickle
gruber, but were watching his prog
ress closely with the idea of having
convenient tool handy when their
financial plans were perfected. The
Austrian paper-hanger proved later to
be the ideal tool for their purposes.
The history of |. G. Farbenindustrie,
while too lengthy to be repeated here
is symbolic of capitalism, not only in
Germany but in the world at large and |
while this information is accessible to
the reader from other sources it is !
advisable here to give a brief account |
to show that capitalism has no ma
knows no fatherlanu has |
never been motivated by patriotism
and worships no god except PROFITS.
Shortly after World War ! the capt.
talist group of Germany headed by
Carl Duisberg began laying their
plans for the rehabilitation of German
capitalism. They established contact
with the strong capitalist groups of
other nations, retaining citizens of
these nations as their paid business
agents and contact men, the purpose
being to unite the powerful capitalist
groups of the world into one super
organization of capital, the control of
which was of course to remain in the
hands of the German group q. G. Far
This control was main
aimed by Farben's patents to import
mt dyestuffs, medical formulas and
metal and other synthetic processes.
As an example of their methods, 8

nd French capitalist groups was
qually true of capitalists of other
ations, South America, England and
er dominions (The Cleyeden Set, in
ondon) and simply bears out the con-
ention that capital the world over
allegiance only to the
reat God PROFIT.
World Capitalism under the leader
