The internationalism of the Warburgs is no longer in doubt, and cannot
be denied. Felix Warburg hung on to the Hamburg connection longer than
did Paul, but the breakage of either was probably perfunctory. At the
time that Felix left the Hamburg firm of his brother, Max, a Mr. Stern
also left the Frankfort firm of Stern, and both became very active on
the Allies side, taking sides against the German nation as lustily as
anyone could. “Impossible!” say those who fancy that a German Jew is a
German. Not at all impossible; the Jew’s loyalty is to the Jewish
nation; what the Jew himself refers to as his “cover nationality” may
count or not as he himself elects.
This statement is always met with frothing wrath by the Jews’ “gentile
fronts” in the purchased pro-Jewish press. But here is an example: Do
you remember “The Beast of Berlin,” that lurid piece of war propaganda?
You did not, perhaps, know that its producer was a German Jew, Carl
Laemmle. His German birth did not prevent him making money out of his
film, and his film does not prevent him annually going back in state to
his birthplace. This year he goes accompanied by Abe Stern, his
treasurer; Lee Kohlmar, his director; and Harry Reichenbach—a list of
names duplicable in any movie group.
Messrs. Stern and “Warburg, of Frankfort and Hamburg, respectively, and
away from home perhaps only temporarily, were not concerned about the
fate of the “Huns,” but they were immensely concerned about the fate of
Jewish money power in Germany.
To indicate how blind the public has been to the inter-allied Jewish
character of much of the world’s important international financial
activity, note this from the _Living Age_ earlier in the year:
“According to the _Svensk Handelstidning_, the recent American loan
of $5,000,000 to Norway was really the outcome of an agreement
between the Hamburg firm of Warburg & Company and the New York
bankers, Kuhn and Loeb. It is regarded as a significant sign of the
times that a German firm should be responsible for an American loan
to a neutral country. The conditions subject to which this money was
borrowed, are not regarded as very favorable to Norway, and no
marked effect on the rate of exchange between the two countries has
followed.”
Note, in the light of all the statements made about Kuhn, Loeb &
Company, and the Warburgs in particular, the assumption in the above
quotation that the transaction was really between a German and an
American firm. It was principally an arrangement between the Warburgs
themselves in family counsel. But the loan will pass in Norway as “_an
American loan_,” and the fact that the terms of the loan “_are not
regarded as very favorable to Norway_” will react upon Scandinavian
opinion of this country. It goes without saying that “_no marked effect
on the rate of exchange between the two countries has followed_,” for
that would not be the object of such a loan. The dislocation of exchange
is not unprofitable.
