INTRODUCTION TO 2ND EDITION
At the end of World War I, the writer, then 27 years old, was released
from the U. S . Army as a second lieutenant of the Coast Artillery Corps .
Like many more servicemen, he was filled with resentment as the deluge of
utterly obvious and brazen falsehood, by which participation in that war
had been forced upon the American people, was exposed, and became more
evident day by day after the war was won .
That the reasons advanced to the American people for their entry into
World War I were largely fraudulent became common and accepted knowledge,
and over 25 years after the end of that war the eminent American historians,
Charles A. and Mary R. Beard, stated in their "Basic History" (page 442)
that "the gleaming mirage that pictured the World War as purely or even
mainly a war for democracy and civilization dissolved beyond recognition . . .;"
and the well-known Internationalist publicist, Walter Lippmann, stated in
his "U. S . Foreign Policy" (page 24) in effect that the real reasons for going
to war in 1917 have never been admitted .
Many people realize that this mystifying situation, in which an alleged
democratic and self-governing nation is actually controlled against the will
of the people in its foreign affairs, is a clear indication that there must be a
very powerful and well-financed secret organization which plans and directs
American foreign affairs, and for lack of a more specific identification this
suspected secret organization is popularly referred to as the International
Financiers.
When the propaganda mills began their characteristic grind towards
war in the early 1930's, the writer began a more definite study of international
power politics, and soon found it an entrancing and revealing subject . There
was, however, no more free speech ; and the most amazing documented aspects
of a vast secret world order of International Finance could find no hearing
in a situation where some Congressmen denounced overwhelming Nationalist
expression of views in their mail as mere organized subversion .
The shelves of our public libraries hold thousands of books pertaining
to some aspect of this vast subject ; most of them dry as dust to the average
reader and remaining unread by the public through the years. Most of these
scholarly works are devoted to some passing phase of power politics in some
part of the world, of which their author has made a specialized study, and
have invariably been forgotten as the public has lost interest in that particular
incident .
In running through these works some amazing nuggets of information
come to light here and there, which fitted together gradually unfold the stun-

ping history and the legal structure of a sovereign world state located in the
financial district of the loosely knit aggregation of buroughs and cities popu-
larly known as the city of London . The colossal political and financial organi-
zation centered in this area, known as "The City," operates as a super-
government of the world ; and no incident occurs in any part of the world
without its participation in some form .
Its pretentions are supported in the United States by the secret Inter-
national Pilgrim Society, sponsor of the Cecil Rhodes "One World" ideology
which was launched about 1897 . The president of its American branch is
Dr . Nicholas Murray Butler, who is also president of the allied Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace . The ultimate objective of this camarilla
was defined by one of its noted propagandists, the late William Allen White,
as : "It is the destiny of the pure Aryan Anglo-Saxon race to dominate the
world and kill off or else reduce to a servile status all other inferior races ."
After reducing the vast mass of data forming the basis of this work into
a logical and readable sequence, it was finally put into print and privately
published after long delay, and copyright was granted May 22, 1944 . About
200 copies were sent to various members of Congress, thus largely performing
the purpose of the first edition . Several members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee accorded some attention to this .
Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota wrote August 12, 1944 : "The
document containing the result of your research was so interesting that it
spoiled most of my sleep that night . . . I have been doing some research
along the same lines and I find my time in that respect is limited . You have
done a great deal of work that will save me a great deal of time ." On August
21, 1944, he wrote : "People ought to be induced to read it. It is a documented
piece of work and therefore should command respect and arouse interest ."
This work apparently appeals most strongly to men of professional
standing, and to people of the elder generations, and a number of lawyers,
doctors, clergymen, architects and engineers of the writer's acquaintance
have expressed their great interest and apparently general commendation .
Publishers approached have been reluctant to undertake it, and several stated
that there would be little demand for a serious work of this kind, as the
American public is not interested in that kind of reading matter . One large
Eastern publisher frankly wrote he was obliged to disregard the recom-
mendations of his readers on advice of counsel .
Chapters I and XI, and the Conclusion, are new additions to the second
edition of "The Empire of `The City' ." Chapter XI, "A Study in Power,"
was published separately and copyrighted February 22, 1945 .
