Mr.. Knuth is civil engineer who
served as an artillery officer in
World War | and began to wonder
about the reasons for many of the
military and diplomatic moves he
saw in Europe. During the thirty
years that have since elapsed he has
been a research student of inter
national power politics, and has un-
covered several items of startling
and disturbing information. Much
of this information is unknown to
the mass of people of Europe and
practically all of it will come as
shock to the mass of peoples in
America.
Mr. Knuth appears to be a polit-
ical conservative, who fears the
future. He writes rather laborous-
ly but furnishes ample documenta-
ton for most of the conclusions he
has set forth.
All the main part of his 100 page
document was prepared prior to
1914. In the judgment of this critic,
several notifications and additions
that were made in 1944-45 do not
bring the thesis of the book up to
date. international events have |
moved fast and far in the last three
years but the direction world power !
politics is now taking is easily ex-
plainable on the back ground this
author has laid down. Here are the
high lights of the little understood |
and morbid story the author is try
ing to drag out into the light.
"The City"
1. The financial district of Lon
don is somewhat larger than an
American section of land. Here on
700 odd acres is the Bank of Eng
land; and Stock Exchange and all
the principal affiliations of these
basic units. This compact financial
center is known as THE CITY and
is legally city within a city. 1t
has its own laws, forms and proceed
nres, most of which is subject to
outside control including the English
parliament.
2. Core of this financial grant is
he Bank of England, privately
owned and operated by board of
trustees, of whom the public seldom
lears. In effect these select their
and no one, except few
Insiders know who has shares in the
Sank of England. The same pat
ern of highly centralized control I
md deep secrecy, applies to all the !
and agencies of the /
mother institution. Theoretically T
he Bank of England was national
zed by the present Labor govern
nent. No payment has, or can be '
made for its assets and actual control d
emains exactly as it was.)
3. The House of Rothchild having r
hen the worlds greatest fortunes, :
established one of it's principal
ranches in 'eTHE CITY" in 1898, =
inanced sBritain's war with Napo- !
con and emerged in control of Brit =,
III finance and as the official bank "
entury this tremendous financial ;,
rganization was concerned with :,
projects, and maintaining
balance of political power that
-ould assure British survival among
ne quarreling nations of Europe.
hen Cecil Rhodes enunciated a
ew and broader philosophy and
1T foundation of $150,000,000
, spread and perpetuate his ideas.
This new and broader idea be-
anne the center piece of all policy
ade or manipulated by the Bank
{ England. 1t is eventual control ]
{ all the lands and all the people /
all the world. {
4. For 1870 years, or longer all
,ntrol of business transacted within I
HE CITY, has, like this tract of
nd upon which this city sets, been
local control exercised exclusively
