Money Trust Investigation
Investigation of Financial and Monetary Conditions in the United States Under House Resolutions Nos. 429 and 504

In 1912, a special subcommittee was convened by
the Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, Arsene P.
Pujo. Its purpose was to investigate the "money trust," a small group of
Wall Street bankers that exerted powerful control over the nation's
finances. The committee uncovered part of the Great Plan and even today
most people do not know about the Money Trust. The committee's majority report concluded that a group of
financial leaders had abused the public trust to consolidate control
over many industries. The concentration of financial power was then able
to fool the public by transition from the damning Pujo Committee report
to manufacture even greater control via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
The hearings were conducted between May 16, 1912 and February 26, 1913.
The transcript of the hearings was published in three volumes. It is
presented on the Teach Peace Foundation site in the original 29 parts
with the index, a table of interlocking directorates of 18 financial
institutions, and the majority/minority report of the committee.
The
Report of the Committee Appointed Pursuant to House Resolutions 429 and
504 to Investigate the Concentration of Control of Money and Credit.
February 28, 1913. Pages 1-258. (pdf 14.3M) is a good place to
start.
