The Congo empire came into being in 1885 after Leopold<br />

had financed Stanley's explorations. It included an area<br />

<strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> Poland, and produced fabulous returns from<br />

Congo rubber, ivory and slaves. Later <strong>the</strong> Union Miniere<br />

acquired vast copper mines, <strong>the</strong> Compagnie de Katanga.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir most ruthless agents was Emile Francqui,<br />

who later became [Herbert] Hoover's partner in China<br />

and in <strong>the</strong> Belgian Relief Commission; his name survives<br />

at Congo's Port Francqui.<br />

The Congo interests are now controlled by <strong>the</strong> Lamberes<br />

through Societe Generale de Banque, which merged <strong>the</strong><br />

Societe Generale de Belgique, <strong>the</strong> oldest bank in<br />

Brussels, founded in 1822, and Banque d'Anver, founded<br />

1827; its secretary is Baron Fauconval, a director <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Rockefeller Foundation. Societe Generale acquired<br />

Union Miniere in Dec. 1981; in 1972 it had acquired<br />

Compagnie Outremer, formerly Banque Outremer, and in<br />

Dec. 1964, had acquired 25% <strong>of</strong> SOFINA, Societe<br />

Financier de Transport & Enterprises Industrielles, <strong>the</strong><br />

largest holding <strong>com</strong>pany in Europe.<br />

These firms are controlled by <strong>the</strong> Rothschild bank,<br />

Banque Bruxelles Lambert, founded in 1840 by Baron<br />

Lambert. The present Baron is director <strong>of</strong> Soceite<br />

Generale de Banque, and president <strong>of</strong> Compagnie<br />

Generale d'Enterprises Electricque which owns fifty<br />

power <strong>com</strong>panies. Banque Lambert de Bruxelles is also<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lambert [part] <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wall Street firm <strong>of</strong> Drexel<br />

Burnham Lambert, owning 19% <strong>of</strong> it.
