REICH TAKES OVER OLD HAMBURG BANKING IIOlftB JEWISH FINANCIER ( OUSTED BY NAZIS WAS HERO OF IM PEACE NEGOTIATION - DEMAND VAST RANSOM FOR ROTHSCHILD WASHINGTON. June 9. The part ners of M. M. Warburg & Company, of Hamburg, have resigned. The 160-year-old banking house has been taken over by the German state. The news sounds much like other news from the relch, In these last years. To be sure, Max Warburg and hi brother, Fritz, are old men. 72 and close on 70. To be sure, their firm has always played a large and notable part In the commercial life of Germany. To be sure, the Nazi leaders have not been ashamed to use Max Warburg's wisdom, to guide them through the monetary mews of sick European finance. But they are Jews, Max and his brother, Fritz. It had been coming for a long time. Once before, a year or so ago, their resignation had been tentatively demanded. Always there were Inquisitions, espionage.

Yet when the storm-troopers came, or the telephone from Berlin brought the resignation order, Max Warburg's mind must have flown sadly back, over the years, to the spring of 1919. At Versailles, that spring of 1919. the crowds pressed hungrily around the Hotel Des Reservolres. Guards inarched to and fro along a makeshift Iron fencing, across the pavement, sun-flecked through the trees. The crowd murmured, as children will at noos, when a strange new animal clings to the derkness at Its cage's rear. Within the hotel, among the rad dled grandeurs of the tall rooms, the German delegates to the Versailles peace conference argued Intermina bly. They might have been expected to disagree. Count Von Brockdorf Bantzau. the foreign minister, a man of the old regime; Edward David, the socialist lesder: the professional dip lomat.
