mand of foreign exchange, Mr.. Morgan
replied, 81 simply told them that they
would have to help me-"
In that answer is conveyed some idea
of the psychological power possessed By
Mr.. Morgan.
If his son possesses a like quality, then
the emergency may arise by and by iii
which he will be able to reveal himself
as a true successor of his father. No
emergency of that kind has arisen since
| the currency panic of 1907.
The Leader of the Future
| Whenever there has been discussion
about the leadership that is TO follow
| the late Mr. Morgan it is observed that
! various individuals are named as likely
| to take up the succession In some finan-
cial circles are to be found men who look
to Theodore n. Vail the man. and il
was said this morning by one of the
abiest men in American corporation life
would be recognized when he had a
chance to work out all his plans as sue
cesor of Mr.. Morgan. Others have named
Henry C. Frick himself as the real sue
cessor. And occasionally the name of
| Judge Gary, chairman of the board of the
| United States Steel corporation, is in like
manner named.
| None of these men. however has
! achieved in fields which were peculiarly
| Mr.. Morgans own, great as their achieve
| ments have been. Mr. Vail is thought
| by some to possess that indescribable but
| thoroughly recognizable personal quality
| which is the greatest influencing power
| a man can have.
The Real Test
| " hen normal conditions return, when
! the United States begins again a career
along lines of large exploitation of nat
ura, resources and of the wise eXpan-
sion of those already under development
and when the railroad companies of the
| United States discover that the moment
| has come when their credit and the tenn
| per of the people enable them to secure
| the new capital they need then new con-
dtions will arise.
Financing on a great scale and in neyy
| paths will be undertaken. the new leader
will appear, or if there come severe emer-
gences with the shadow of panic or of
| great business decentralization, then the
| country will know whether there is to
| be a leader who can do what Mr.. Nor
J gan was able to accomplish, especially
| in the last % years of his life. There
may appear some one in days of activity
| who will take the leadership of the stock
market as Governor Flower once did or
teh Rockefeler's are thought to have
| done on occasion. But Mr. Morgan
| was never leader of the stock market.
| His field was broader and greater than
| that. There may come in the future
| some one who Will achieve as f. Fl Har-
riman did or as James j. Hill has done,
| but the conspicuous successes of these
| two men in the field of practical railroa
| management was something apart from
| the achievements of Mr.. Morgan. The
| best opinion here seems TO be that not
until the emergency arises will it be pos
| sible to know whether new and a safe
| leader a single individual is at last to
take the place SO long held by Mr.. Nor
