This Anglo-German-American banking house, which Time Magazine once admitted was “an fconomic booster for the Rome- ae Axis” (Time, July 10, +989), is part of the international Cartel gang today.

Dulles is now the firm’s senior partner and chief. He is also a director for the bank of New York, International Nickel Cor- poration, American Agricultural Chemical Corporation, and other big firms. Dulles landed in this lush law firm in 1911 with the help of a push from his grandfather, Gen- eral John Foster, a fermer Re- publican secretary of state. GONe Foster had given the lad a diplomat’s training, which was to come in handy.

Clad William Nelson Cromwell, the firm’s retired leader, is still the largest single sharehclder of U.S. Steel at the age of 92.

ULLES and Cromwell made a> ten-strike when they got in on the ground floor with the Rockefellers in the Schroder banking branch in New York after it opened’ here in 1923, The Schroders have been Prus- sian . aristccrats since Baron Heinrich Schroeder (German spelling), a Hamburg banker, started a London branch to fin- ance Anglo-German trade in the early 19th century. It was this London branch, in turn, which opened the New York Schroder bank about a hundred years later. The London bank quickly grew richer than its German parent under the direction of a brother, who remained a German citizen. It eventually became nominally independent, though it kept its German ties. A grandson, Bruno Schroder, who died in 1940, acquired British citizenship, though he remained a German at heart, and began aiding the Nazis before they took power. And when Hitler came in the ‘J, Henry Schrcder bank of Lon- don became’’one of the three British companies to take cor- porate membership in the Anglo- German Fellowship organization at the request of Alfred Rosen- berg, the Nazi leader. The same British Schroder bank, which set up the New Ycrk branch, remained the of- ficial agent of Hitler’s banker, Baron Kurt von Schroder of Co- logne, one of Heinrich Schroe-— der’s descendants. It was Dulle’s ally, Baron Kurt, who told the Nuernberg court that he had called Hitler, — Himmler, Hess and von Papen. to his house on January 4, 1933, . and agreed on the “elimination of Social Democrats, Commun- JOHN FOSTER DULLES By ART SHIELDS cy © ‘ists and Jews from leading positions in Germany.” The London Schroders had be- come the first or second largest private bankers in the city, be- fore they opened their bank in New York. Bs The leading partner, Frank Tiarks, who runs the London bank today, has become a part- ner of the Bank of England it- self. He is also a director of the British government’s Anglo-Ira- nian Oil Company, which hag started much of the trouble against the Soviet Union. LL these British and’ German connections have been util- ized by the Rockefellers, by Dulles and cther Americans who have become part of the Schro- Ger set-up since the New York _ branch was opened, The Americans dominate the whole international Schroder or- ganization today with the weight of their money.

And a partner ot Dulles’ law firm has always been a director of the J. Henry Schroder bank. This Schroder director was Dulles’ brother Allen until Allen went to Switzerland for the Of- fice of Strategic Services, when another Dulles’ partner took his place on the bank board. Allen Dulles had a fantastic assignment. This director of a pro-Axis banking firm had been chosen by OSS Chief William J. Donovan to contact the German underground and work for a revolution against Hitler. The. ‘revolutionaries’ that Dulles contacted were right-wing German officers who planned to assassinate Hitler and set up a -military government that would - open the western front to Bri- tain and the’ United States, while trying to keep the Red Army out. This amazing story comes out in The German Underground by Allen Dulles himself, ‘John Foster Dulles’ big job now is the splitting of Germany. He wants to sever the indust- rialized Ruhr and Bavaria from the rest of the former Reich, and exploit it for the benefit o. the cartels and make it an anti- Soviet base. A guide to good reading RED MIRACLE—by Dr. Edward Podolsky—Smithers and Bonel- lie—$4. anes N this thoroughly documented account of Soviet medicine to- day Dr, Edward Podolsky brings into focus a good deal of ma- terial about which uninformed speculation has been continuing for many years. Though his field is vast, so lucid and accurate is his description of Soviet medi- cine that his literary achieve- ment is in itself a minor mir- acle. No one, either doctor or layman, can fail to derive a com- prehensive understanding of the subject once he has read this ab- Dr. Podolsky. describes both the normal and more ‘sensa- tional’ aspects of medical theory and practice in the socialist state. He outlines the origins of Soviet medicine, describes public health and prevention routines, recalls the dynamic contribution of medicine to the fight against Nazism and shows how medical practices interlock with the state provisions for the care of the dis- -abled veterans. vs From there on he goes on to the abortion problem which seems to have mystified so many people. He recalls that in 1918 the Soviet government legalized abortion and that in 1936 abor- tion laws were once again made severely restrictive. He explains this ‘mystery’ very simply. In spite of many benefits der- ived from legalized abortion, So- viet practitioners discovered that repeated abortions resulted’ in decreased fertility, tendencies to miscarriage, abnormal pregnan- cies and other disorders. Thus | legalized abortion ‘had proved a danger to Soviet ,womanhood. At the same time the rapid industrialization of the economy had produced a vast organization for the care and protection both cf mothers and children. Fewer genuine reasons for abortion pre- vailed than during the stormy -post-revolutionary days. Hence legalized abortion was wiped from the statute books with the universal consent of the nation. ‘His chapter, for example, on ‘the discoveries of the world- famed Dr. Bogomolets in the field of death prevention makes encouraging reading. This Soviet scientist, he points out, establsh- ed the relationship between con- nective tissues and premature. death and indicated the direction which science must travel in its efforts to postpone the inevit- — able. He also explains why Bogo- molets insisted that man does — not, today live his normal span. Every animal on this planet lives from five to six times the length of time it takes to mature. Man, he said, matures at 25— hence man should live from 125 to 150 years. é What can be done to narrow the gap between man’s present life expectation and his potential span is today the target of Soviet medicine. Altogether a book not to be missed. PACIFIC TRIBUNE—PAGE 11
