PART 7 BRITISH FINANCIAL WARFARE: 1929; 1931- 33 HOW THE CITY OF LONDON CREATED THE GREAT DEPRESSION by Webster G. Tarpley
December, 1996
T The ravaged post-war, post-Versailles world of the 1920's provides the main backdrop for the following considerations:
    The events leading to the Great Depression are all related to British economic warfare against the rest of the world, which mainly took the form of the attempt to restore a London- centered world monetary system incorporating the gold standard. The efforts of the British oligarchy in this regard were carried out by a clique of international central bankers dominated by Lord Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, assisted by his tools Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and Hjalmar Schacht of the German Reichsbank. This British-controlled gold standard proved to be a straightjacket for world economic development, somewhat along the lines of the deflationary Maastricht "convergence criteria" of the late 1990's. This depression was rendered far more severe and, most importantly, permanent, by the British default on gold payment in September, 1931. This British default, including all details of its timing and modalities, and also the subsequent British gambit of competitive devaluations, were deliberate measures of economic warfare on the part of the Bank of England. British actions amounted to the deliberate destruction of the pound sterling system, which was the only world monetary system in existence at that time. The collapse of world trade became irreversible. With deliberate prompting from the British, currency blocs emerged, with the clear implication that currency blocs like the German Reichsmark and the Japanese yen would soon have to go to war to obtain the oil and other natural resources that orderly world trade could no longer provide. In 1931, Norman engineered a disintegration by detonating the gold backing of the pound sterling.

The crash followed a speculative boom which had taken hold in the late 1920s, which had led millions of Americans to invest heavily in the stock market. This investment drove share prices up to artificially high levels, the rising share prices encouraged more people to invest, as they hoped the shares would rise further, thus fueling further rises, and creating an economic bubble. The banks lent heavily to fund this share buying spree.

The Crash of 1929 and the Depression The Great Bull Market and the Crash. As more Americans began to invest in the stock market, often of very liberal credit terms, the markets went up. Artificially fueled by increased credit purchases, consumer businesses produced and sold more and more, and the stock market kept pace. But the market was overbuilt, credit was stretched thin, and when the crash came it came with a huge thud. When capital dried up, buying slowed down, businesses laid people off, further hurting consumer spending, and the economy spiraled downward to unimaginable depths. People who had never wanted for anything found themselves not only unemployed but unemployable. The situation was unprecedented, collectively and individually, and as the Depression worsened the country floundered and people surrendered to despair. The Stock Market: Before and After the Crash

Causes and Cures
Introduction
It should be noted that all of the cures have been tried and while we seem to be free of Depressions, it's not clear that business cycles have been eliminated.
Causes
The Stock Market Crash The Stock Market Crash in Octoberof 1929 is often cited as the beginning of the Great Depression, but didit actually cause it? The answer is no. First, the stock price for a particular company merely reflects current information about the future income stream of that company. Thus, it is a change in available information that changes the stock price. When the Fed began to raise interest rates in early 1929, this began the tumble. However, a stock market crash could cause people to increase their liquidity preference which might lead them to hoard money. Hoarding Money People hoard money because they have a liquidity preference. I.e., people want to have their assets in a readily convertible form, such as money. There are several misconceptions about hoarding money. First hoarding is not the same thing as saving. If I put my money into a savings account, that money is lent out to someone else who then spends it. Second, hoarding, by itself, cannot cause a recession or depression. As long as prices and wages drop instantly to reflect the lower amount of money in the economy, then hoarding causes no problems. Indeed, hoarding can even be seen as beneficial to those who don't hoard, since their money will be able to buy more goods as a result of the lower prices.

    Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Effects on the Economy America was enjoying a time of prosperity during the Roaring 1920's. People were working and the stock market was moving upward. Most of the country believed that everything was fine until the stock market crashed in October of 1929. This caused panic and fear across the country and marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Let us take a look at several aspects of the Stock Market Crash, including the impact that it had on the economy. Causes Experts agree that the Stock Market Crash was not caused by just one factor. Instead, it was a combination of several events occurring at the same time that resulted in this country's worst financial calamity. Warning Signs Read about the events that led to the panic in October 1929. How low did it go? How bad was the stock market? Some people jumped out of buildings to their death rather than face financial ruin. Take a look at a chart of the Dow Jones Average from 1920-1939. How high was it before the crash and how far did it fall? Can you calculate the percent drop? Also, take a look at the stock prices of some of the larger companies of the time before and after the crash. Effects on the Economy The Stock Market Crash was the beginning of the Great Depression and it had a rippling affect throughout the economy and the nation. It produced a downward spiral that negatively impacted every segment of the population. The stock market decline caused many banks to fail, which caused many businesses to fail, which caused unemployment to skyrocket, which caused consumers to have less purchasing power, which forced existing businesses to lower their prices, and so forth. It took years to break this vicious cycle. Take a look at some areas that sustained a tremendous amount of damage during the Depression.

    Weimar Republic and the Great Depression
    The Weimar Republic was devastated by Wall Street Crash of October 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. The Crash had a devastating impact on the American economy but because America had propped up the Weimar Republic with huge loans in 1924 (the Dawes Plan) and in 1929 (the Young Plan), what happened to the American economy had to impact the Weimar Republic's economy. Both plans had loaned Weimar money to prop up the country’s economy - especially after the experiences of hyperinflation in 1923. Now America needed those loans back to assist her faltering economy. Stresemann had died in 1929, but shortly before he died even he admitted that the German economy was a lot more fragile than some would have liked to accept. "The economic position is only flourishing on the surface. Germany is in fact dancing on a volcano. If the short-term credits are called in, a large section of our economy would collapse." After the Wall Street Crash, America gave Germany 90 days to start to re-pay money loaned to her. No other world power had the money to give Germany cash injections. Britain and France were still recovering from the First World War and the Wall Street Crash was to have an impact on industrial Britain. Stalin’s Russia was still in a desperate state and embarking on the 5 year plans . Therefore, an impoverished Weimar Germany could only call on America for help and she was effectively bankrupt by the end of 1929 and quite incapable of lending money.

    Economic Letter Index Monetary Policy and the Great Crash of 1929: A Bursting Bubble or Collapsing Fundamentals? In recent years, a number of economists have expressed concern that the stock market is overvalued. Some have compared the situation with the 1920s, warning that the market may be headed for a similar collapse. Indeed, some suggest that lax monetary policy contributed to the Great Crash and have argued that current monetary policy is also dangerously lax. For example, an April 1998 Economist article stated: In the late 1920s, the Fed was also reluctant to raise interest rates in response to soaring share prices, leaving rampant bank lending to push prices higher still. When the Fed did belatedly act, the bubble burst with a vengeance. To avoid the same mistake

    The Great Depression - USA History The Great Depression took place from 1930 to 1939. During this time the prices of stock fell 40%. 9,000 banks went out of business and 9 million savings accounts were wiped out. 86,00 businesses failed, and wages were decreased by an average of 60%. The unemployment rate went from 9% all the way to 25%, about 15 million jobless people. Causes of The Great depression * Unequal distribution of wealth * High Tariffs and war debts * Over production in industry and agriculure * Stock market crash and finacial panic E ffects of The Great depression * Widespread hunger, poverty, and unemployment * Worldwide economic crisis * Democratic victory in 1232 election * FDR's New Deal It was appropriate that the terrible economic slump of the 1930s started in the United States, to which Europe seemed to have surrendered economic leadership during the Great War and on which she had been dependent ever since.
    Stock Market Crash
    The stock market crash that began on a black Friday in October 1929 and deepened in the ensuing months had immediate repercussion in Europe. Indeed, even before this, the superheated boom in stock prices that marked the bull market of 1928 siphoned money from Europe. The pricking of the bubble sent shock waves throughout the world.
    Large exports of American capital had helped sustain Europe, besides providing an outlet for American surpluses of capital, during the 1920s. Investment in European bonds now contracted sharply and swiftly, as banks that were "caught short" with too many of their assets invested in securities desperately tried to raise money. By June 1930, the price of securities on Wall Street was about 20 percent, on average, of what it had been prior to the crash; between 1929 and 1932 the Dow-Jones average of industrial stock prices fell from a high of 381 to a low of 41!

    Revelation 13: World Economic Depression and Stock Market Crash in 2004? - A New Age / Astrology / Prophecy Discussion
    Here we will apply astrology, Biblical prophecy, numerical analysis, and the concepts of this Revelation 13 web site to economics. Could a worldwide economic crash and economic depression occur soon, including a world stock market crash? Yes, I think seven years of world economic disaster, economic depression and chaos, and world stock market decline began in 2001, and this world economic chaos will likely continue into 2004 and 2005. I think the U.S. stock markets and financial markets, the New York Stock Exchange, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq stock markets will have continued chaos and drop some in 2004 - 2005. But I think the U.S. stock markets (NYSE and NASDAQ) will do better than Europe and Asia. I think worldwide economy chaos continues into 2007. World economics will likely see wild swings and chaos into 2007.
    First let us consider recent Astrology/Astronomy events.
    Saturn and Venus had an Astronomical close conjunction on May 29, 1998, where they were seen to approach within .5 degree in the early morning sky. The economic and Satanic power of saturn was then lit up by the brightness of Venus, causing economic and stock market declines in Asia and Russia, that accelerated starting near May 25, 1998; although there was recovery in late 1998 and 1999. (There was a similar, but not as close, conjunction of Saturn and Venus within 2 1/2 degrees on March 19, 1999.)

    The Stock Market Crash of 1929 The1920's were know as the roaring twenties for a good reason. The 1920's experienced growth in industry, technology, wages, consumer spending, and availability of cash (through the many banks that were opening up). These factors supported immense economic growth and a strong confidence in the economy. The elite were not the only people with extra money to spend and invest. Many US citizens from all classes began investing in stocks as a way to make quick money. As more people invested in stocks, stock prices rose higher and higher. These rising stock prices looked appealing and even more people began purchasing stock and buying on margins. The result was an investment of billions of dollars into the US stock market. Many
    people invested all of their savings. Some even mortgaged their homes, cashed in their savings accounts or took out loans on the speculation that the market was going to continue in its rising trend. The stock market reached its peak during the end of August and the beginning of September, 1929 when the Dow Jones (an economic indicator) reached a high of 381 - a rise of 190 points since the beginning of 1928. October 3, 1929 and the days following saw a decline in the Dow Jones but confidence in the stock market still remained high. Most people thought that this was just a natural dip in the market and in a couple of days the prices would be back to normal. However, on October 18 the stock market began to fall abruptly. During the night of October 21 and the early hours of October 22 many banks, corporations, and overseas investors called Wall Street wanting to trade their stock. The stock market exchanges were filled with anxiety before the day even began. Each day became progressively worse until Thursday October 24 when everything broke apart.

    English Version
    Speculation in the 1920s caused many people to buy stocks with loaned money and they used these stocks as collateral for buying more stocks. Broker's loans went from under $500 million in mid 1928 to $850 million in September of 1929. The stock market boom was very unsteady, because it was based on borrowed money and false optimism. When investors lost confidence, the stock market collapsed, taking them along with it. Short signs government economic policies were one of the factors that led to the Great Depression. Politicians believed that business was the key business of America. Thus, the government took no action against unwise investing. Congress passed high tariffs that protected American industries but hurt farmers and international trade. The economy was not stable. National wealth was not spread evenly. Instead, most money was in the hands of a few families who saved or invested rather than spent their money on American goods. Thus, supply was greater than demand. Some people profited, but others did not. Prices went up and Americans could not afford anything. Farmers and workers did not profit. Unevenness of prosperity made recovery difficult.

    "The business of America is business."
    - Calvin Coolidge -
    After the end of World War I, the economy of the United States began a rise which resulted in the greatest recession the country has ever seen.
    The end of World War I saw a growth of industry which was unmatched by anything which had come before. This produced a continually rising standard of living during the 1920s, which brought new comforts into people's lives.
    However, rampant, unchecked change is usually not a good thing, and can often have unexpected side effects. The side effect in this case was the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression which followed.
    Along with the Great Depression came Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal, bringing widespread political and economic implications.
    The country entered the 1920s with Warren G. Harding as president. Harding was a Republican as well as a laissez-faire capitalist. He believed in, and advocated policies which reduced taxes and regulation, allowed monopolies to form, and allowed the inequality of wealth and income to reach record levels.
