$1,000,000,000 FUND TO REBUILD JEWRY; Six Million Souls Will Need Help to Resume Normal Life When War Is Ended.The American people, Jews and non-Jews alike, will soon be asked to lend or contribute the larger part of a fund of approximately $1,000,000,000 to carry out plans for the reconstruction of the Jewry of the entire world. Announcement to this effect, together with the general plan of procedure, was made public last night, following a meeting held yesterday in the office of Felix M. Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee of the American Funds for Jewish War Sufferers.While the appeal will go out to the entire world, the people of war-ravaged Europe, it is believed, will not be in position to further the plan financially to any large extent, so that the burden will fall upon the United States, Canada, and perhaps England.The money for the project, the largest purely humanitarian undertaking in history, will not be sought alone through contributions, but will embrace loans, and will be accepted from non-Jewish as well as Jewish sources. The exact date and the duration of the campaign for the billion-dollar reconstruction fund was not announced, but preliminary work has already begun.The plan is the result of months of study by the Joint Distribution Committee of reports from every country in which Jews have been made to suffer through the war, and includes the sending of commissions of American Jews, experts in philanthropy, social service, education, and business, to Russia, Rumania, Poland, Palestine, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, and other lands as soon as the international situation permits. The work has already been initiated in several countries where recent allied succcesses have made a beginning possible.6,000,000 Jews Need Help.https://www.nytimes.com/1918/10/18/archives/1000000000-fund-to-rebuild-jewry-six-million-souls-will-need-help.html

I'm assuming OP is just hung up on the "6 million" number because Jews starting a Charitable organization focused on helping fellow Jews and asking the public for donations is not a conspiracy. Christians literally do the same thing.
