If yours is the way to do it, you will have to demonstrate it, and you will have to demonstrate that if we join up with all the groups of the earth, that we won't be taken for a ride. Mr. WARBURG. Now, the thing I am trying to bring out in my questions is, that no mechanism will do the job unless there is a willingness and intent on the part of the peoples to carry it through. He interrupted work there to undertake a world tour during the winter of 18911892. Why not, then, combine two bravely taken positions of wise statesmanship into one? What I have in mind is that it is not a mandate because under the Constitution this is a question of foreign policy. He was well known for being the financial adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt. I think if the Congress enacts this concurrent resolution, it is requesting the President to declare this as an avowed aim of the American policy, and aims of American policy have a habit of being more than wishes. In January, 1949, President Truman made a second start toward an affirmative policy, when he enunciated the point 4 principle. Listen to globalist banker, Paul Warburg: We will have a world government whether you like it or not. Those and many other questions are addressed here.

Taken together, these two facts would exert a mounting pressure toward cooperation upon the Kremlin. I couldn't support that because it doesn't seem to go to the root of the matter, which is simply that the United Nations in its present form is a league of sovereign states, and the root of the evil is that it is not a league of sovereign people. We should get together with the other nations, which are willing to share our purpose to create the rule of law in the world.

Thus, the 5-year program would cost us 30not 50 billions. I am talking about whether or not the question of the validity of a treaty is just as strong as the intent of the parties to maintain it and keep it. [16] In 1910, Aldrich invited Warburg to attend a secret meeting with other influential bankers on Jekyll Island in Georgia, where the draft of a bill to establish a central bank was worked out. That is one of the difficulties we have. After his arrival, Warburg wrote a paper, calling for a central bank similar to the one in his native Germany. Was this proposal a workable plan for peace?

The OwenGlass Bill did. Fear-inspired negative action makes poor cement for unity. Warburg said that in the next panic Stillman would regret the lack of a central bank; Stillman left in a huff. It is a broad declaration of purpose and nothing more. In America, by contrast, each bank was responsible for its own reserve. We must be prepared to accept some sort of a composite pattern, in which we may preserve for ourselves the things we cherish, but in which others may be equally free to do the same. A regime which maintains itself at home by the use of force cannot readily renounce force as an instrument of foreign policy. I am James P. Warburg, of Greenwich, Conn., and am appearing as an individual. Now there is one difficulty that has been raised in these hearings, in regard to a particular resolution, and that is to the use of the word federation, and that is on the theory that it prejudges the kind of world set-up to exist. I think this is a broad approach, and I like it for that reason; whereas some of the other proposals are not, and I think they would be a misstep at the present time. Senator WILEY.

Conflict in the minds of men has been generated through centuries of hate and competition between people for material wealth and political domination. Senator, I think you have put your finger on the primary reason why this resolution is necessary. One of the things I think we have been doing too much, is that we have stopped ourselves from getting started in the right direction because we then say, conveniently, Oh, well, the other fellow won't do it anyway, so what's the use..

Secretary of State Acheson has said that the only agreements that can be made with the Kremlin are agreements which rest upon existing facts. We have been operating, in our foreign-aid programs, almost wholly outside the United Nations. The . But it takes a lot of hard work, time, and money to do what we do. You are assuming law and law enforcement. But I can find no conclusive evidence in the Senator's speech to suggest that he would object to modifying it, so long as it remained an enforceable plan fortified by the right of inspection. The second of these new facts would be dynamic. Suppose we take for granted that no effective disarmament agreement is possible at the present time, and that we cannot, therefore, count on any substantial saving in our military budget. Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited the U.S. during Jacksons reign, was baffled. Many of his contemporaries regarded him as the chief driving force behind the establishment of America's central bank. It would, I think, be foolish to think that this can happen in the immediate future as the result of any sort of negotiations. Your point of view is very valuable.

The Ferguson Resolution is simply an approach through the United Nations, recognizing the United Nations, and presupposes that it has in it a possibility of expansion and proposes that that area of expansion should be explored under the United Nations as it is today, a trial-and-error approach, rather than contemplating a blueprint for the future. Warburg was born in Hamburg, Germany, to the Warburg family, a banking dynasty with origins in Venice. No, but I think it would get us on a course with a charted goal toward which we could steer, which would enable us to meet the crises, and without such a goal, I don't see how we can, because we will go on zigzagging. Senator WILEY. Have you seen any indication in the last 30 years that the nations have changed their approach on that? In his Nobel acceptance speech, he said, We are now physically, politically, and economically one world The absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible.

To fill in these gaps, I ask leave to have included in the record of my testimony, the paper already referred to, which was delivered last week at a conference of the Postwar World Council in New York. Yes, that is the thing, and there is always the danger that because men of high standing, like yourself, get up here and talk about a mechanism, that some people believe it is going to give us the thing right off the bat, ipso facto, so to speakit is going to be self-operating. But, parallel, to that, that is why I brought in Senator McMahon's proposal, I think we can do a great deal to create the limits within which the world community can grow and become possible, and I think the Senator hit the nail on the head with his proposal, except as I say he hitched it to another proviso.

I am assuming that a government will be run as our own Government is run, by the development of a fair process of representation which has to take in all the factors that apply to that, not only population, but productivity and education and all those things. Without detracting from the imaginative courage of Senator McMahon's proposal, I regret that, in his first presentation, he has attached it to a self-negating proviso. Mr. WARBURG. We may or may not be able to find a common pattern with the present rulers of Russia. We have so far -overlooked the fact that parts of western Europe are actually much more closely integrated with parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East than they are with each other. Most of the other nations in the world are about ready to do something about it. His father was banker Paul Warburg, member of the Warburg family and "father" of the Federal Reserve system.
