Well,the matter for all this secrecy has one reason: In Carola Warburg Rothschild we find the mix of the most importants bankers families of the top of the Elite of the Empire, this by marrying a Rothschild. She is the result of the following Bloodlines: Rothschild, Warburg, Schiff, Loeb, possible Seligman and Lewisohn too.

/ Note #b|"Amory Howe Bradford" (S&B 1934) married Carol Warburg
Rothschild in 1941. Carol's mother, Carola, was the acknowledged head of
the Warburg family in America after World War II. This family had assisted
the Harrimans' rise into the world in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries; in concert with the Sulzbergers at the "New York Times," they
had used their American Jewish Committee and B'nai Brith to protect the
Harriman-Bush deals with Hitler.

Excerpts  from Ron Chernow's - The Warburgs
 
After Germany signed the peace treaty in 1919, a backlog of musty mail also tumbled in on the amazed American Warburgs. Vacationing in Bar Harbor, Jacob Schiff suddenly got faded letters from Marx Warburg, some way laid by English censors in 1915. One letter from Max sent congratulations to Felix's daughter, Carola, upon her 1916 engagement to Walter Rothschild. By the time this reached America, Carola and Walter had a two-year-old daugther. (page 219).

When daughter Carola married Walter Rothschild in 1916, nine hundred people tramped through 1109 Fifth Avenue to eat and drink. Attired in a blue velvet suit with silver buttons. Edward held aloft the enormous train of his sister's gown. Carola had huge blue eyes, a handsome, aquare-jawed face, and a husky voice thickened by cigarettes.She had great sex appeal and an easy way with men gained from being an attractive young woman who grew up surrounded by an adoring father and many brothers. Endowed with Felix's grace, she was also a good listened and the trusted confidante of many Warburgs. Felix spoiled her silly. By the time she married Walter, she had twenty-two pieces of costly jewelry, including a floral brooch with sixteen diamonds and a necklace with twenty-eight rubies. For her wedding present, Carola got a Woodlands house, surrounded by thirty acres of real estate.
Of the five children, Carola was the only one who married just once and to a Jew. Walter was a genial man with a big infectious grin. His father ran the A&S department store in Brooklyn. Unrelated to the banking Rothschilds, he joked that he belonged to the Brooklyn Rothschilds.   Chernow - Page 240 (My own comment hwere: I don't believe this, prove me wrong, but this must be a real Rothschild bloodline from House of Rothschild).

When the Jewish Agency met at Zurich's Tonhalle in August 1929, it proved a grand moment of amity and concord for Jews everywhere. Besides Felix and Louis Marshall, a cavalcade of Jewish dignitaries entered the hall, including Albert Einstein, Léon Blum, Sir Herbert Samuel and Lord Melchett.The Jewish elite was joined by many poor Jews who came on foot. As one participant said, "Dress ranged from Oriental-looking caftans to the most modern western styles." The Warburgs were well represented. Felix's daughter, Carola, dropped off the children with Frieda and came along with her father [...] Page 300

Felix's eldest daughter, Carola, most readily took up her assigned place in the Warburg universe. She was everybody's favorite, and her home featured good talk and ready cocktails even during prohibition. Felix's doted upon her, saying, "She is like a thoroughbred horse, and has to be ridden with a light hand". In marrying the rich, Princeton-educated Walter Rothschild, she found an easygoing man who negotiated his way handily through the often prckly Warburg clan. As head of the A&S departament store, Walter didn't need to worry about status competition.
Inheriting her parents' anglophile tastes, Carola loved horses, dogs, country living. She devoted time to several hospitals, the Girl Scouts, The Federetion of Jewish Philanthropies, a maternity center, and other Warburg causes and in many ways, she modeled herself after Frieda.  Yet her Jewish activities were more a matter of family pride and homage to the past. When asked if she were a practicing Jew,Carola sighed,  "Well, I was married by a rabbi. . . ."
Her three children would marry five times in total, all outside the faith. Page 338

Weizmann engineered a compromise by wich five non-Zionists would sit with seven Zionists on the executive Committee of the Jewish Agency.This was all public relations. The reality was that partition was approved, albeit reluctantly, with the Executive authorized to negotiate for a Jewish state with Britain. After the Arabs rejerted the plan, it came to naught. That same month, a new British White Paper further curbed emigration to Palestine.
[...] Suffering from fatigue, Felix met his dauhter, Carola, in london and they sailed back to New York aboard the Berengaria. By coincidence, Ben-Gurion was on the same boat. Felix waved and went to speak with him. At first, he couldn't resist some sarcasm about Ben-Gurion's behavior in Zurich, but the two ended up having a pleasant journey. [...] The clash between Felix and Ben-Gurion went far beyond personalities. [...] The Zionist movement was, in part, a populist revolt against Jewish banking royalty. As Weizmann exulted,  "The Warburgs and the Rothschilds and thier methods have gone for ever." Page 454

It was Carola who held together the Warburg family.  Ron Chernow - The Warburgs - Page 601
