They naturally allied with another powerful class, the bankers and financiers, in promoting party differences in the lower house as a way of distracting people from the real issues. This quotation from the USA Banker's Magazine of August 25, 1924, is proof of this: "Capital must protect itself in every possible manner... When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers. This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus, by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
