INTERNATIONAL: Gold Over Europe
(3 of 3)
McGarrah, In Manhattan, newshawks sought news of the dollar-slandering campaign from big, broad Gates W. McGarrah, president of the Bank for International Settlements at Basle.
"Yes, I've heard all that," rumbled barrel-chested Gates McGarrah, "and I know that in most European countries they are hoarding gold. . . . But the American dollar is very highly spoken of in Europe, gentlemen, very highly spoken of indeed."
*Head of Viennese branch of the great family, direct descendant of Solomon Rothschild, world's first promoter of railroads and crony of Prince Metternich. Two years ago he was called "savior" of financial Austria, for causing his Kreditanstalt to absorb the overexpanded Bodenkreditanstalt. But the details of that transaction were never made public, are now a subject of Governmental investigation. A story goes that last summer Baron Rothschild tried again to be a savior when he saw the Kreditanstalt beginning to totter. He secretly took plane to France to enlist the aid of the Paris Rothschild cousins. But his plane was forced down near Metz, a fortress area, where officials took his documents for examination. Before Baron Rothschild could complete his mission the secret was out.
