They recounted to him all they knew about Mr. Wilson. He had established the first potent Socialistic cell in Princeton in the early 1880’ s, when he had been a professor there. A fairly rich man, and a scholar, he had been most emotional concerning Karl Marx and had understood all that was necessary for the emergence of an ‘Elite’ in America. He distrusted the common man, though he championed him, not having known, through all his six universities, in which he had studied and taught, any common men at all. He was an aristocrat by birth, and that made him respected by the common man. He feared and hated the ‘common men’ who composed Congress, and he had quickly taken up what had been suggested to him concerning the power reserved to Congress for the coining of money. ‘Money trust!’ he had proclaimed. He had declared himself in favor of an independent Federal Reserve System, a private organization, which would have the supreme power of coining the nation’s money... “Mr. Wilson,” one gentleman said, “understands that America must leave her traditional isolation from world affairs. We must now emerge as a world power.” “In short,” said Joseph, “he will help get America into a war.” Caldwell, Taylor. Captains and the Kings. eNet Press Inc. Kindle Edition.
