In New York City, 1917, Colonel Edward Mandell House, the confidential advisor to President Woodrow Wilson, gathered about one hundered men to discuss the postwar (WW I) world. These men, whom dubbed themselves "the Inquiry", made plans for a peace settlement which would eventially evolve into Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points (for reconstructing a new Europe)", that he pitched to Congress on January 8th, 1918. The points included calls for the removal of "all economic barriers" between nations, "equality of trade conditions", and the formation of "a general association of nations". Colonel House described himself as a Mrxist (socialist). He wrote a book in 1912, "Philip Dru: Administrator", where he described a "conspiracy" within the United States with the goals of establishing a central bank, as well as a graduated income tax, and as well as establishing control of of both political parties. Two years after the publication of his book, two, if not all three, of the goals forementioned had been achieved. Wilson's Fourteen Points lead to the Paris Peace conference of 1919, which resulted in the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty which included terms that forced Germany to pay heavy reparations to the Allies. This, of course, ruined the German economy and lead to their depression, which also lead to the eventual rise of Adolf Hitler and his "new", "Germany-saving" ideals embodied in the socialist party of the Nazi's. This of course is what caused WW II, and all of it's lucritive investment opportunities. Colonel House along with two dozen members of "the Inquiry" attended the Paris Peace conference of 1919. They, as well as British peace conference delegates, met in Paris' Majestic Hotel on May the 30th of 1919 to resolve the creation of the "Institute of International Affairs", which called to have two branches - one in England and one in the United States. The English branch became known as the "Royal Institute of International Affairs" while the U.S. branch became known as the "Council on Foreign Relations", which was incorporated on July the 21st of 1921. The original invitation-only membership to the CFR was limited to 1,600 persons, but today, the numbers represent more than 3,300 of the most influential leaders in finance, commerce, communications, and academia.
