Chapter Four
What are the Goals of the
World's Secret Power Manipulators?
Having established how powerful the money-managers of the world have now become,
Dr. Quigley's second purpose appears to have been his desire to let us know what the political
philosophy of these world giants has turned out to be. This is undoubtedly the
most shocking
aspect of his book. It is all the more disturbing because the facts in this part of his book fit
perfectly with the world of reality in which we find ourselves. Many things which have seemed
startling clarity as Dr. Quigley provides an
insider's analysis of what has been happening.
In the beginning of this presentation I pointed out some of the disturbing questions which
are likely to occur to anyone who has been trying to understand the significance of the amazing

political and economic power have been forcing the entire human race toward a global, socialist,
dictatorial-oriented society. And what has been most baffling about it has been the fact that this
drift toward dictatorship with its
inevitable obliteration of a thousand years of struggle toward
human freedom, is being plotted, promoted and implemented by the leaders of free nations and
the super-rich of those nations whose positions of affluence would seem to make them the

virtually inconceivable. It becomes rational only as his scattered references to it are collected and

of strange contradiction runs through se
veral important sections of Dr. Quigley's book, but
should offer no difficulty to the reader once he understands what is happening.
As we pointed out earlier, Dr. Quigley prides himself in being a member of this secret
power group which is identified with the international jet-set of super-rich banking dynasties. He
agrees with practically all of their goals and policies. However, he
strongly objects to their policy
of secrecy.

It began with the ideological conquest of some important people's minds.
Dr. Quigley's Explanation of an Amazing Phenomenon
The ancient political philosophers knew that the most effective way to conquer a man is
to capture his mind. There is no slave more devoted nor disciple more dedicated than the man
who has become completely obsessed with the vision of what he considers to
be a great idea. Dr.
Quigley says this is what has happened to the leaders of the world's secret center of international
banking. Its leaders became convinced that they had come upon a fantastically great idea: How to
[page 26]
take over and control the resources of the world for the good of humanity.
Here is how Dr. Quigley says it all began.
John Ruskin
The Coming Of John Fluskin To Oxford
"Until 1870 there was no professorship of fine arts at Oxford, but in that year, thanks to
the Slade Bequest, John Ruskin was named to such a chair. He hit Oxford like an earthquake, not
so much because he talked about fine arts, but because he talked als
England's downtrodden masses, and above all because he talked about all three of these things as
What were his ideas? Kenneth Clark, in his
o about the empire and
moral issues."

Who Was John Ruskin? (Reviewer's note)
We need to pause for a moment to get better acquainted with John Ruskin so we can
better appreciate what Dr. Quigley has to say about him. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was born in
London, the son of a wealthy wine merchant from whom he inherited a substantial
says:
fortune. His
education was in art, literature, architecture, mathematics, Latin and Greek. He traveled widely,
graduated from Oxford, and in 1870 became the Slade professor of art at his alma mater.
However, art was only a partial interest. He had his stud
ents build roads and venture out into a
variety of community experiments. He established the "St. George's Guild" which was designed
to set up a model industrial and social movement, to buy lands, mills and factories, and to start a
model industry or coope
rative on socialist lines. The Guild failed, but as Dr. Quigley will point
out shortly, the ideas of Ruskin were planted in the fertile minds of his students who were the
scions of the British aristocracy.
Ruskin Today
"He saw that the state must take control of the means of production and distribution, and
organize them for the good of the community as a whole; but he was prepared to place the
control of the state in the hands of a single man. 'My continual aim has bee
n to show the eternal
superiority of some men to others, sometimes even of one man to all others.' He had a very low
opinion of democracy, and what he thought of freedom may be found in the passage ... on the
housefly. These views are not at present accept
ed in the English-speaking world; and it must be
admitted that the experiences of the last thirty years have done little to recommend them.
"No doubt Ruskin underrated the corruptibility of man and the coarseness inherent in all
forms of government. He would
[page 27]
have been horrified by the exploits of Hitler and
Stain. But I doubt if he would have shrunk from the results of his doctrine
as much as one would
suppose. In spite of its materialist philosophy, he would, I think, have approved of Communism;
the peasant communes in China, in particular, are exactly on his model. He would not have
thought the cure worse than the disease because h

course Marx, Engels, Proudhon and Saint-Simon drank from that same fount
ain. Therefore, there
is a remarkable parallel in the writings of Ruskin, Marx and other disciples of Plato. Plato
wanted a ruling class with a powerful army to keep it in power and a society completely
subordinate to the monolithic authority of the rulers
. He also advocated using whatever force was
necessary for the wiping out of all existing government and social structure so the new rulers
4(35) Of
could begin with a "clean canvas" on which to develop the portrait of their great new society.
The upper dimensions of Plato's "ideal" society included the elimination of marriage and
the family so that all the women would belong to all the men and all the men would belong to all
the women. Children resulting from these promiscuous unions would be

men. There was to be selective breeding of men and wom

children considered inferior or crippled were to be destroyed. There was to be a three-level
structure of society into fixed classes: the ruling class, the military class and the worker class.
Plato said the People wo

falsehood that people were born with gold, silver or copper in their souls and the rulers would
determine which metal was present in the soul of each person and assign him to the appropriate

affairs by the rulers because it would be taught to the people as a religious principle. Plato
reserved the full blessings of communism for his ruling class. It wou
ld be there that he felt
private property could be eliminated, family relations communalized, and intellectual energy
devoted to determining what was good for the masses in the lower classes.
All this was part of what John Ruskin read "almost every day." Now we will continue
with Dr. Quigley's analysis of what happened when John Ruskin "hit Oxford like an earthquake."
Ruskin Taught That the Ruling Class Of England Had a World Mission
"Ruskin spoke to the Oxford undergraduates as members of the privileged, ruling class.
He told them that they were the possessors of a magnificent tradition of education, beauty, rule of
law, freedom, decency, and self-discipline but that this tradition c
ould not be saved, and did not
deserve to be saved, unless it could be extended to the lower classes in England itself
and to the
non-English masses throughout the world
. If this precious tradition were not extended to these
two great majorities, the minor
ity of upper-class Englishmen would ultimately be submerged by
these majorities and the tradition lost. To prevent this, the tradition must be extended to the
masses and to the empire."

class.
Cecil Rhodes about the time he attended Oxford.
Cecil Rhodes at the height of his power.
Cecil Rhodes Caught the Vision Of a World-Wide Federation
"Ruskin's message had a sensational impact. His inaugural lecture was copied out in
longhand by one undergraduate, Cecil Rhodes, who kept it with him for thirty years. Rhodes
(1853-1902) feverishly exploited the diamond and goldfields of South Africa, ros
e to be prime
minister of the Cape Colony (1890-1896), contributed money to political parties, controlled
parliamentary seats both in England and South Africa, and sought to win a strip of British
territory across Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt
and to join these two extremes
together with a telegraph line and ultimately with a Cape-to-Cairo Railway. Rhodes inspired
devoted support for his goals from others in South Africa and in England. With financial support
from Lord Rothschild and Alfred Bei
t, he was able to monopolize the diamond mines of South
Africa as DeBeers Consolidated Mines and
[page 29]
to build up a great gold mining enterprise
as Consolidated Gold Fields. In the middle of the 1890's Rhodes had a personal income of at
least a millio
n pounds sterling a year (then about five million dollars) which was spent so freely
for his mysterious purposes that he was usually overdrawn on his account."

Rhodes Launched a Long-Range Program To Federate the World

"These purposes centered on his desire to federate the English speaking peoples and to
all the habitable portions of the world
under their control. For this purpose Rhodes left part
of his great fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford in

order to spread the English
ruling class tradition throughout the English-speaking world as Ruskin had wanted."
Rhodes Received Wide Support and Organized a Secret Society
"Among Ruskin's most devoted disciples at Oxford were a group of intimate friends
7(38)
including Arnold Toynbee, Alfred (later Lord) Milner, Arthur Glazebrook, George (later Sir
George) Parkin, Philip Lyttleton Gell, and Henry (later Sir Henry) Birchenough. Th
ese were so
moved by Ruskin that they devoted the rest of their lives to carrying out his ideas. A similar
group of Cambridge men including Reginald Baliol Brett (Lord Esher), Sir John B. Seeley,
Albert (Lord) Grey, and
[page 30]
Edmund Garrett were also aroused by Ruskin's message and
devoted their lives to extension of the British Empire and uplift of England's urban masses as two
parts of one project which they called 'extension of the English-speaking idea.' They were
remarkably successful in these aims
Stead (1840-1912), an ardent social reformer and imperialist, brought them into association with
Rhodes. This association was formally established on February 5, 1891, when Rhodes and Stead
organize
d a secret society of which Rhodes had been dreaming for sixteen years."
The Original Structure of Rhodes' Secret Society
8(39)
"In this secret society Rhodes was to be leader; Stead, Brett (Lord Esher), and Milner
were to form an executive committee; Arthur (Lord) Balfour, (Sir) Harry Johnston, Lord
Rothschild, Albert (Lord) Grey, and others were listed as potential members of a
organized by Milner as the Round Table Organization). Brett was invited to join this organization
'Circle of
Initiates'; while there was to be an outer circle known as the 'Association of Helpers' (later
the same day and Milner a couple of weeks later, on
his return from Egypt. Both accepted with
enthusiasm. Thus the central part of the secret society was established by March 1891. It
continued to function as a formal group, although the outer circle was, apparently, not organized
until 1909-1913."
9(40)
The Perpetuation Of the Secret Society After Rhodes' Death
"This group was able to get access to Rhodes' money after his death in 1902 and also to
the funds of loyal Rhodes supporters like Alfred Beit (1853-1906) and Sir Abe Bailey
(1864-1940). With this backing they sought to extend and execute the ideals that R
hodes had
obtained from Ruskin and Stead. Milner was the chief Rhodes Trustee and Parkin was
Organizing Secretary of the Rhodes Trust after 1902, while Gell and Birchenough, as well as
others with similar ideas, became officials of the British South Africa
Company. They were
joined in their efforts by other Ruskinite friends of Stead's like Lord Grey, Lord Esher, and Flora
Shaw (later Lady Lugard). In 1890, by a stratagem too elaborate to describe here, Miss Shaw
became Head of the Colonial Department of

into execution the imperial schemes of Cecil Rhodes, to whom Stead had introduced her in
The Secret Society Was Gradually Extended Into Other Countries
"As governor-general and high commissioner of South Africa in the period 1897-1905,
Milner recruited a group of young men, chiefly from Oxford and from Toynbee Hall, to assist
him in organizing his administration. Through his influence these men were able
to win
influential posts in government and international finance and became the dominant influence in
British imperial and foreign affairs up to 1939. Under Milner in South Africa, they were known
as Milner's Kindergarten until 1910.
In 1909-1913 they organized semi-secret groups, known as Round Table Groups, in the
chief British dependencies and in the United States. These still function in eight countries. They
kept in touch with each other by personal correspondence and frequent vi
sits, and through an
influential quarterly magazine,
The Round Table
, founded in 1910 and largely supported by Sir
Abe Bailey's money. In 1919 they founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham
House) for which the chief financial supporter
s were Sir Abe Bailey and the Astor family
(owners of
The Times
)." 11(42)
Forming Of the Council On Foreign Relations
and the Institute Of Pacific Relations
"Similar Institutes of International Affairs were established in the chief British dominions
and in the United States (where it is known as the Council on Foreign Relations) in the period
1919-1927. After 1925 a somewhat similar structure of organizations
, known as the Institute of
Pacific Relations, was set up in twelve countries holding territory in the Pacific area, the units in
each British dominion existing on an interlocking basis with the Round Table Group and the
Royal Institute of International Af
fairs in the same country.
In Canada the nucleus of this group consisted of Milner's undergraduate friends at Oxford
(such as Arthur Glazebrook and George Parkin), while in South Africa and India the nucleus was
made up of former members of Milner's Kindergarten. These included (Si
r) Patrick Duncan, B.K.
Long, Richard Feetham and (Sir) Dougal Malcolm in South Africa and (Sir) William Marris,
James (Lord) Meston, and their friend Malcolm (Lord) Hailey in India. The groups in Australia
and New Zealand had been recruited by Stead (thro

influence as Rhodes House at Oxford."

The Proposal to Have the Capital Of the World Federation in the United
States
"From 1884 to about 1915 the members of this group worked valiantly to extend the
British Empire and to organize it in a federal system. They were constantly harping on the
lessons to be learned from the failure of the American Revolution and the success

feasible, then confederate the whole of it, with the United Kingdom into a single organization.

Rhodes-Milner Secret Society Extends
Its Influence to the United States
The story of how the secret society of the Rhodes-Milner axis extended its influence into
the United States is summarized by Dr. Quigley as follows:
"... the American branch of this organization (sometimes called
[page 33]
the 'Eastern
Establishment') has played a very significant role in the history of the United States in the last
generation.... By 1915 Round Table groups existed in seven countries,
including England, South
Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and a rather loosely organized group in the
United States (George Louis Beer, Walter Lippmann, Frank Aydelotte, Whitney Shepardson,
Thomas W. Lamont, Jerome D. Greene, Erwin D. Canham

others). The attitudes of the various groups were coordinated by frequent visits and discussions

15(46)
J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and Other Wealthy Americans
Join the Rhodes Secret Society
"Money for the widely ramified activities of this organization came originally from the
associates and followers of Cecil Rhodes, chiefly from the Rhodes Trust itself, and from wealthy
associates such as the Beit Brothers, from Sir Abe Bailey, and (after
1915) from the Astor family.
Since 1925 there have been substantial contributions from wealthy individuals and from
foundations, and firms associated with the international banking fraternity, especially the
Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, and other organiz
ations associated with J.P. Morgan, the
Rockefeller and Whitney families, and the associates of Lazard Brothers and of Morgan,
Grenfell, and Company."
16(47)
Forming Of the British-American Secret Society Alliance
"The chief backbone of this organization grew up along the already existing financial
cooperation running from the Morgan Bank in New York to a group of international financiers in
London led by Lazard Brothers. Milner himself in 1901 had refused a fabulo
us offer, worth up to
$100,000 a year, to become one of the three partners of the Morgan Bank in London, in
succession to the younger J.P. Morgan who moved from London to join his father in New York
(eventually the vacancy went to E.C. Grenfell, so that th
[pa
e London affiliate of Morgan became
known as Morgan, Grenfell, and Company.) Instead, Milner became director of a number of
public banks, chiefly the London Joint Stock Bank, corporate precursor of the Midland Bank. He
became one of the greatest political
and financial powers in England, with his disciples
strategically placed throughout England in significant places, such as the editorship of
posts, and even Cabinet positions. Ramifications were established in
The Times,

The Observer
, the managing directorship of Lazard Brothers, various

politics, high finance, Oxford and London universities, periodicals, the civil service, and
tax-exempt foundations."
17(48)
Implementing the American Branch Of the Secret Society
"At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of this system had to
be greatly extended. Once again the task was entrusted to Lionel Curtis who established, in
England and each dominion, a front organization to the existing local R
ound Table Group. This
front organization, called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each
area the existing submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was known as the Council on
Foreign Relations, and was a front for J.P.
Morgan and Company in association with the very
small American Round Table Group. The American organizers were dominated by the large
number of Morgan 'experts,' including Lamont and Beer, who had gone to the Paris Peace
Conference and there became close
friends with the similar group of English 'experts' which had
been recruited by the Milner group.
In fact the original plans for the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council of
Foreign Relations were drawn up at Paris. The Council of the RIIA (which, by Curtis' energy
came to be housed in Chatham House, across St. James' Square from th
Leffingwell, Norman Davis, Allen Dulles, George W. Wickersham, Frank L. Polk, Whitney
e Astors, and was soon
known by the name of this headquarters) and the board of the Council on Foreign Relations have
carried ever since the marks of their origin. Until 1960 the council at Chatham House was
dominated by the dwindling group of Milner's ass
ociates, while the paid staff members were
largely the agents of Lionel Curtis.
The Round Table
for years (until 1961) was edited from the
back door of Chatham House grounds in Ormond Yard, and its telephone came through the
Chatham House switchboard."
18(49)
The Powerful New York Branch Of the Secret Society
"The New York branch was dominated by the associates of the Morgan Bank. For
example, in 1928 the Council on Foreign Relations had John W. Davis as president, Paul Cravath
as vice-president, and a council of thirteen others, which included Owen D. Young,
Russell C.
Shepardson, Isaiah Bowman, Stephen P. Duggan, and Otto Kahn. Throughout its history the
council has been associated with the American Round Tablers, such as Be
er, Lippmann,
Shepardson, and Jerome Greene."

Founding Of The New Republic Magazine
"The best example of this alliance of Wall Street and Left-wing publication was
The New

who had been assistant to Sir Robert Hart (Director of the Chinese Imperi
the head of the European imperialist penetration of China) had remained in the Far East from
al Customs Service and
1901 to 1912, became a Morgan partner and the firm's chief expert on the Far East. He married
Dorothy Payne Whitney whose names indicate the
family alliance of two of America's greatest
fortunes. She was the daughter of William C. Whitney, New York Utility millionaire and the
sister of coheiress of Oliver Payne, of the Standard Oil 'trust'. One of her brothers married
Gertrude Vanderbilt, whil
e the other, Payne Whitney, married the daughter of Secretary of State
John Hay, who enunciated the American policy of the 'Open Door' in China. In the next
generation, three first cousins, John Hay ('Jock') Whitney, Cornelius Vanderbilt ('Sonny')

Acquiring Influence Among Academic Institutions
"This group, which in the United States, was completely dominated by J.P. Morgan and

with the Ivy League colleges rested on the fact that the large endowments of these institutions
required constant consultation with the financiers of Wall Street....
"As a consequence of these influences, as late as the 1930's, J.P. Morgan and his

"On this basis ... there grew up in the twentieth century a power structure between
