ROTHSCHILDS AND WAR DEBT.

AMEBIC AX EDITOR'S VIEWS.

j FBANCISCO, March 25. .< Fremont Oljaor, the wo!', known J editor of San Francisco, undoubtedly j one of riiC Foremost newspaper men hi America, has given to the American j press interesting figures showing the grip which the Bothscliilds of Paris have o n the Allies. Just before ilio present war. Older points on), the Paris Rothschilds loaned to Bussia £500.000 to prepare for the war. The loan was approved by the French Government, when it specified thai the money was to be .-pent in building war vessels and equipping a great army. Other Paris bankers loaneti :C250.00(! for the same purpose. When Lenin came into power, his. fii'si act wa.s to cause a ropiMlialion of this debt. If ..vas this a-.tion vhic'' induced th e Bothscliilds to urge war f against tin Soviet Government of RusI sia. They subsidised a dozen new?; papers in Paris. Older charges, and these in turn were abbe to influence the newspapers of the whole world. Older farther points out that, while repudiating the debt to the Paris bankers, Lenin has protected the small holders of Russian bonds. Tin's fact, however, has only served to further infuriate the Bothscliilds. who have a strauglc-hold on the French Government, because of the £13,000,000 France owes them. Older also points out that the Bothscliilds are an international firm, having banking houses in Loudon, Berlin. Vienna, and Paris-. "Tnrler the Rothschilds' system,'' he says, "no matter what nations lost at war the Roths- | childs gained. In from. 40 to 50 years I thp war bonds now issued and being issued will mature. The Rothschilds will receive £3,000,000 from France. There is no way that these gigantic sums can be invested so as to produce certain profits except in war and war bonds."
