  • 6 Silver Squelchers & Their Interesting Associates
    #6 SILVER SQUELCHERS & THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES Presented Mid November 2014 by Charles Savoie The Pilgrims Society Representing The London & New York Financial Communities Is The Entity Controlling The Bank Of England & The Federal Reserve, The Bank For International Settlements, The International Monetary Fund And The Group Of 30 Central Banks In D.C., Headed By Paul Volcker, Who Took 60MOZ Silver From The Hunts By 1986 And Has Been A Pilgrims Society Member Since At Least The 1980 Roster---The Last One Located Of This Shadow Organization. I won’t devote this installment of “Silver Squelchers” towards proving the claim I made in the text box, though we’ve seen some proof in previous Silver Squelchers editions (last time we noticed Charles Augustus Stone was a N.Y. Fed Bank director) and we’ll see more items along these lines in following Silver Squelchers editions, including Bank of England examples. For fairly extensive proof (110 page report) refer to “Who Controls The gold Stealing New York Fed Bank” presented in February 2014. This edition will be concerned with Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1949 New York and London rosters. We mentioned members of the Grenfell family associated with the Bank of England in numbers 4 and 5 of this series. Basil Blackett of the BOE was mentioned in #3; the Cecils (not very well known outside the “right” circles) association with the BOE in #2 Silver Squelchers and others will be described as we progress. 1) Cordell Hull (1871-1955, Pilgrims 1933 and later lists), was Secretary of State

  • Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA
    ‘Food Miles’: Britain’s Transition from Rail to Road-based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies September 2016 Abstract Britain’s railways were essential for the development of the British economy throughout the nineteenth century; however, by 1919 their seemingly unassailable position as goods carriers was about to be eroded by the lorry. The railway strike of September 1919 had presented traders with an opportunity to observe the capabilities of road haulage, but there is no study which focuses on the process of modal shift in goods distribution from the trader’s perspective. This thesis therefore marks an important departure from the existing literature by placing goods transport into its working context. The importance of food as an everyday essential commodity adds a further dimension to the status of goods transport within Britain’s supply chain, particularly when the fragility of food products means that minimising the impact of distance, time and spoilage before consumption is vital in ensuring effective and practical logistical solutions. These are considered in a series of four case studies on specific food commodities and retail distribution, which also hypothesise that the modal shift from rail to road reflected the changing character of transport demand between 1919 and 1975. Consequently, this thesis explores the notion that the centre of governance over the supply chain transferred between food producers, manufacturers, government and chain retailer, thereby driving changes in transport technology and practice. This thesis uses archival material to provide a qualitative study into the food industry’s relationship with transport where the case studies incorporate supply chain analyses to permit an exploration of how changes in structure might have influenced the modal shift from rail to road distribution.

The Aftermath: 1918 to Present 34 Notes 40 Bibliographical Essay 47 Temperance was a major British issue until after World War I. Excessive drunkenness, not alcoholism per se, was the primary concern of the two parliamentary parties. When Lloyd George entered Parliament the two major parties were the Liberals and the Conservatives. Temperance was neither a problem that Parliament sought to~;;lv~~ nor the single issue of Lloyd George's public career. Rather, temperance remained within a flux of political squabbling between the two parties and even among the respective blocs within each Party. Inevitably, compromises had to be made between the dissenting factions. The major temperance controversy in Parliament was the issue of compensation. Both Parties agreed that the problem of excessive drunkenness was rooted in the excessive number of public houses throughout Britain.

  • (London, 1988), P. 125. PROLOGUE
    NOTES PREFACE 1. William Empson, Arguejying (London, 1988), p. 125. PROLOGUE: FAMILY TIES 1. Dame Felicitas Corrigan, Siegfried Sassoon: Poet's Pilgrimage (London, 1973), p. 17. 2. See Keith Middlemass, Edward VII (London, 1975), p. 44. 3. See Stanley Jackson, The Sassoons: Portrait of a Dynasty (London, 1968), pp. 84-88. 4. Jackson (1968), p. 75. 5. In 1871 her sister Laura became the second wife of Lawrence Alma- Tadema (1836-1912), the Dutch-born painter who in the 1880s and 90s achieved popular successes with his imaginary scenes from classical Greece, Rome and ancient Egypt. 6. Jackson (1968), p. 76. 7. In The Old Century there is mention of a cook and two maids, with a nurse - later replaced by a German governess - to look after the boys. The male element consisted of the head-gardener, two under-gardeners and Richardson the groom. 8. Philip Hoare, Serious Pleasures: the Life of Stephen Tennant (London, 1990), p. 88. 9. His book collecting may have reminded him of his grandfather Sassoon David Sassoon, who had spent his leisure hours building up a library of rare Hebrew manuscripts. Cf. Jackson (1968), p. 38. 10. Cf. Sassoon's own account of this venture in The Old Century, pp. 279-82. 11. Corrigan (1973), pp. 55-6. 12. Rupert Brooke's last girlfriend, the actress Cathleen Nesbitt (1888-1982) records in her memoirs, A Little Love (London, 1977), that she met Brooke later that same day and that he was full of indignation about Sassoon's remark. That she should recall such a trivial incident over sixty years later (and at the time Sassoon was still a complete unknown) is hard to believe, especially since, according to Sassoon's version, Brooke did not really make an issue out of it.
