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.

At a conference in New York last week, I ventured to put forward an alternative, in which Senator McMahon's world-wide Marshall plan would not be conditioned upon anything the Kremlin might or might not be willing to do. Senator McMahon's proposal carries the affirmative emphasis over into the whole of our foreign economic assistance effort. Our budget is heavily out of balance. We then tried to switch to a positive approach, when Secretary Marshall, in launching his well-known project, declared: Our policy is not directed against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.

The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent." -- James Paul Warburg - In an address to the U.S. Senate, July 17th, 1950 Warburg was the son of Paul Moritz Warburg, architect and first chairman of the Federal Reserve System and Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, 1921-1932. Paul Warburg was the inspiration for the Little Orphan Annie caricature called "Daddy Warbucks". Warburg would recognize and regret this suspicion. What I have in mind is that it is not a mandate because under the Constitution this is a question of foreign policy. If we have it, can we get all the other folks to have that recognition, and then keep faith? . I gather from your statement that you are not prepared to go as far as the so-called Hutchins plan, which is a proposed set-up for a world federationyou are not prepared to go that far?

Prior to his term as vice chairman, Warburg was appointed a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 1914. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

For example, we are trying desperately to integrate western Europe by one major effort, while making another wholly separate effort to raise the living standards of the so-called underdeveloped areas of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. That means that Uncle Sam would become the world policeman. Freed from its self-defeating proviso, Senator McMahon's proposal can become a mighty weapon for peace. It has to be something finer, a rebirth within the minds of men. [1][2], On March 8, 1929, Warburg warned of the disaster threatened by the wild stock speculation then rampant in the United States, foreshadowing Wall Street Crash of 1929 which occurred in October of that year. In the last 50 years, more than 50% of the cabinet members of both the Republican and Democrat Presidential Administrations have been members of this organization. The American people, Schiff explained, do not want to centralize power. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest. 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. In the middle of the panic, Stillman returned. The second of these new facts would be dynamic. The second half of the answer seems to me open to question. Paul Warburg was an advocate for a central bank in the United States and was chosen by President Woodrow Wilson to serve as one of the first members of the Federal Reserve Board. While it may seem that the idea for a one-world government goes hand-in-hand with the rise of universal connectivity through social media, the push for a global governing system has been growing for years. That is the political approach. Now, I want to ask another question: Assume now that pursuant to this resolution the President is requested to head in a certain direction in foreign relations to take steps to support and strengthen the United Nations in such a way that there will be developed a world federation open to other nations. What does the Bible say about evil? That has been our position to date. It never occurred to us that the principle, which we recognized as valid with respect to atomic weapons, was equally valid with regard to all weapons. The minute you have government and law, and law enforcement, there is no longer a question of whether you are willing to stick to a contract, you have to, or the policeman will come and take you in to jail. In times of financial stress, each bank seeking to protect itself would pull back on credit, accentuating the general scarcity, causing interest rates to soar. Schiff warned Warburg not to show his paper to anyone else. 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.. No, no. 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. To him, Americas banking system resembled a town in which each household had a backyard well but lacked a general water supply. Senator McMahon proposed that we present the Kremlin with the fact of our determination to dedicate our strength to a world-wide, cooperative crusade, waged through the United Nations, against hunger, poverty, disease, and ignorance. Sir John Boyd Orr, a Scottish doctor and politician, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949 for his research into improving global food production. SENATOR MCMAHON'S PEACE BOMB-WORKABLE PLAN OR DESPERATE HOPE? In signing his name to this resolution, Senator McMahon recognized that there can be no peace without a world organization capable of enacting, administering, and enforcing world law, in such a way as to prevent aggression by any nation against another with any weapons of force-from hatchets to H-bombs. 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. Would you be willing, irrespective of whether this is passed or not, to support the Thomas-Douglas proposal, or the so-called Ferguson Resolution, if you know what they are? Baruch was appointed head of the War Industries Board, with life and death powers over every factory in the United States. President Wilson accepted his resignation a blow from which Warburg never recovered. He donated all the prize money to organizations working for a united world government. The Federal Reserve, which was enacted by Congress in 1913 and set up shop the following year, is today an institution under siege. Feb. 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 17, and 20, 1950 It is true that a regime, which maintains itself by force at home, cannot readily renounce force as an instrument of foreign policy. Suppose we get India and Pakistan and their 500,000,000 people to enter our organization. Of course, this transformation will be made at the cost of a gradual, balanced transfer of a part of each nations powers to a world Authority This development will not come about without anguish and suffering Only a spirit of concord that rises above divisions and conflicts will allow humanity to be authentically one family and to conceive of a new world with the creation of a world public Authority at the service of the common good.

He organized and became the first chairman of the International Acceptance Bank of New York in 1921. International Acceptance was acquired by the Bank of the Manhattan Company in 1929, with Warburg becoming chairman of the combined organization.

Roosevelt's original "brain trust," and author of several books. The condition I would attach to Senator McMahon's proposal is one that we shall not be able to impose until we, ourselves, have accepted it. Let us present the Kremlin with the fact of a challenge not only to its military power but to its purposes, which are the ultimate roots of its power. Mr. WARBURG. In other words, it is sort of copying after our own state or Swiss state. Does God allow evil in the world?
