 CHAPTER TEN: The Myth of "Sidney Warburg"
Publication of the "Sidney Warburg" book was duly reported in the New York Times (November 24, 1933) under the title "Hoax on Nazis Feared." A brief article noted that a "Sidney Warburg" pamphlet has appeared in Holland, and the author is not the son of Felix Warburg.
Shoup then describes "Sidney Warburg" as "son of one of the largest bankers in the United States, member of the banking firm Kuhn, Loeb and Co., New York." "Sidney Warburg" then tells Shoup that he ("Warburg") wants to record for history how national socialism was financed by New York financiers.
The foregoing statements should suffice to demonstrate that the whole "Sidney Warburg" myth and the subsequent spurious identification of myself with the non-existent" Sidney" are fabrications of malicious falsehood without the slightest foundation in truth.

In Sidney's Antonie, and consistent with other versions of the story, Antonius depicts himself as a slave to Cleopatra's beauty; he is "in her allurements caught" (1.11).
Sidney's Cleopatra does not, however, simply refuse to be a player on Caesar's stage, as does Shakespeare's; her gaze creates the space in which others perform.
The concerns expressed in the anti-theatricality of the Sidney circle range from a Protestant suspicion of Catholic ostentation and display, to an aristocratic contempt for the values of the emergent consumer culture, to a stoic mistrust of materialist measures of virtue.

Once in power, however, the new Holland Government proved decidedly conservative, retaining, for instance, the welfare state set up by the previous Labour Government; though National gained, and has largely kept, a reputation for showing more favour to farmers and to business than did the Labour Party.
Holland also used this opportunity to call the 1951 snap election.
Towards the end of his third term, however, Holland became increasingly ill, and stepped down from the leadership shortly before the general election in 1957.

For five months, Prime Minister Sidney G. Holland, leader of the New Zealand National (Conservative) Party, bitterly fought the Communist-led Waterside Workers Union, whose repeated strikes tied up the country's vital export trade.
Invoking wartime emergency regulations, Holland declared the union illegal, sponsored a rival union, on rare occasions denied the dockers the right of assembly, free speech or publication.
When the striking dockers finally gave in (TIME, July 16), Holland decided that New Zealand should have an opportunity to say it approved of his tough methods.
