Itis commonly assumed that the changes in opinion, conduct, andinstitutions which are taking place are, on the whole, changes for thebetter: that they represent progress and evolution from a lower to a higherand freer form of life. It is further widely assumed that they are aspontaneous growth.Such was the author's own view until he was led some years ago toinvestigate the personnel behind certain great financial institutions. Thefacts encountered at first appeared incredible to him, but the further hewent the more complete was the confirmation of their truth. The matterthen collected was published in 1931 in a former volumeThe Truth aboutthe Slump.Since then a large amount of matter has come to hand showing theoperation of the same forces in other fields. A library of books might becollected dealing with different aspects of the subject, but as there appearsto be nothing in the nature of a general conspectus covering the wholefield it seemed that something of this kind might serve a useful purpose.The material collected to date has been drafted into twenty-eight chapters,of which the first seven appear in the present volume. It is hoped topublish the remainder of the material in later volumes completing thework.The present volume is self-contained, but it is necessary to remind thereader that what is here presented covers only a small portion of theground, touching on certain leading events during the past quarter of acentury from 1912 to the present day. To bring the whole picture intoperspective it is necessary to range much further afield.Culled from a great variety of sources, the matter brought together is ofvarying degrees of validity. Writing in New Zealand, far away from thecentre of events and the great libraries of the world, the author has had butlimited opportunity of checking his matter to the full. He has, however,endeavoured to make some check of the general accuracy of every sourceused. These sources are named throughout, and the reader is thus in aposition to proceed with independent check and verification on any pointdesired. In general, the further the research has been carried the morecompletely have the main facts been confirmed and amplified.http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/field_an/field_index.html (2 of 3)5.4.2006 10:34:11Arthur Nelson Field (1882-1963), All These Things (1936)A great part of the activities described traces back to Jewish origin. Thisfact is quite inescapable; and it is quite impossible to arrive at any trueunderstanding of the matters dealt with if it is ignored. At the same timeit is necessary to remember that although certain Jews, or groups of Jews,are found engaged in activities detrimental to the interests of other races,it is unjust to jump to the conclusion that all Jews necessarily support orsympathize with the doings of these Jews. A fair-minded man should atall times be on his guard against drawing wide and sweeping inferencesfar beyond what any evidence will support. The truth can only be got atby proceeding on from fact to fact.All that the author asks is that the reader, whatever his race, shouldtemperately and calmly consider whether the unchecked operation of theforces herein described is likely to make the world a better or a worseplace. A great aggressive power is at work in the world boring,undermining, and overthrowing. Every effort is made to preventknowledge of what is happening from reaching the people. Only by thatknowledge can the nations avert the dangers threatening them.The publication of the remainder of this work will depend upon thereception with which the present volume meets. Readers desiring tosecure copies of the second volume, or further volumes, are thereforeinvited to notify the undersigned.A.N.

SOME NEW ZEALAND HAPPENINGSTHEstory to be told in these pages deals with many strange and enigmatical events very faraway from New Zealand. At the same time in looking around at our own affairs in this countryone notices certain things, some of no great moment and others of more importance, but alltending to raise a question in the mind as to whether they came about purely by chance.Two years or so ago the silver coins in circulation in New Zealand were replaced by a newnickel coinage of lower intrinsic value, corresponding to the lower value which had been givento the New Zealand bank-note pound. When the new coins appeared it was noticeable that theinscription was different from that on the old coins. The old coins in abbreviated Latin set outthe Royal style and titles: “George V, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and of theBritish Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.” The newcoins simply bore the legend: “George V: King Emperor.” His Majesty on these coins was nolonger King “by the Grace of God,” nor was he “Defender the Faith.” All reference to thereligious aspect of the Monarchy had been removed from the coins. There was no necessity forthis, for the design on the reverse with the words “New Zealand” made the coins quitedistinctive. A trifling thing, the reader may say. Nevertheless, a significant trifle. Just a strawin the wind. A needless thing done. The person who did it must have acted from either one orother of two motives. He must either have regarded the references to the religious aspect of theMonarchy as of no importance; or they must have been definitely repugnant to him, and hetook the opportunity of quietly removing them. Whoever did this, moreover, did it at a timewhen a world campaign against the Christian religion is proceeding. In the midst of thatcampaign somebody needlessly removed from the coins of New Zealand the reminder that theBritish Monarchy rests on a definitely religious basis: that our King is not fully vested in hisKingship until he has been consecrated to God, and has pledged himself to maintain theChristian faith. A New Zealander has only to pull a sixpence out of his pocket to have evidencein his hand that whoever designed his country’s coinage was without interest in either the Graceof God or the Defence of the Faith.http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/field_an/things_01.html (1 of 13)5.4.2006 10:34:15Arthur Nelson Field, All these things, ch 1Some time ago in looking over a list of officials in control of the people of New Zealand — themost British of the Dominions as it is often called — the author noticed that half a dozen keypositions were at that time filled by persons with names indicative of non-British ancestry ofvarious kinds. The officials in question were all of the highest character, and there were nogrounds for raising any shadow of doubt as to their attachment to British interests. Neverthelessin a community where the percentage of persons of foreign extraction is small, it was surprisingto find a number of high positions simultaneously occupied by officials bearing the sort ofnames one might expect to see if the League of Nations had sent an international delegationfrom Geneva to govern the country. Was it purely by chance that these posts happened at thistime to be so filled? Or was it possible that a dash of foreign blood carried with it much greaterability than unmixed British and so brought its possessors automatically to the top? Or was itby any means possible that somewhere in the background some subtle internationalist influencecame into play? These questions can only be stated. They are stated because curiousinternationalist leanings have been apparent in other directions in New Zealand, and becauseone notices in other parts of the Empire from time to time the raising of questions about thegravitation to high office of persons whose antecedents are not of an entirely unmixed Britishcharacter, almost as though it were desired gradually to accustom British people to being ruledas a matter of course by men of other race than their own.****In 1930 two emissaries of the Bank of England visited New Zealand to advise its Governmenton monetary matters.Their names were not distinctively British. One was Sir Otto Ernst Niemeyer; the other wasProfessor Theodor Emanuel Gugenheim Gregory, a member of the teaching staff of the LondonSchool of Economics, a nursery of Socialism, as we shall see in the next volume, and staffedlargely by teachers bearing names indicative of foreign extraction. Sir Otto Niemeyer was afunctionary at the British Treasury from 1906 until 1927, holding the post of Controller ofFinance from 1922 to 1927. In the latter year he joined the staff of the Bank of England.Professor Gregory seems to have been detached temporarily from the staff of the Socialistinstitution to accompany him to Australia and New Zealand as “economic adviser.”Sir Otto Niemeyer made a report advising the Government of New Zealand to establish aprivate corporation to control the volume of currency and credit in the country. He alsoproposed that this privately owned central reserve bank should be given a permanent monopolyof all the Government’s “money, remittance, exchange and banking transactions.” He furtherproposed that the Government should find a million sterling for the working capital of the bank,in respect of which sum it would hold no shares and have no voice in the management; and thathalf a million should be obtained by the issue of shares to the public, the holders of such sharesto be the owners of the bank. In the original Bill as introduced it was left open to foreigners toown the bank, though only shareholders who were British subjects resident in New Zealand hadhttp://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/field_an/things_01.html (2 of 13)5.4.2006 10:34:15 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
