He was asked If there was an instinct

met through business transactions in
New York said Mr.. Morgenthau, 'are
not sharpers, but they are fighters for
success. There is a vast difference be-

The shrewdness of the New Yorker has
become intensified and sharpened by the
increase in business conflict.

what were the qualities which made Him
succeed.
When Henry Morgenthau was first
talked about as the Presidents possible

Treasury many Democrats and finan-
ciers regarded him as in every way
suited to the office His management
of the financial affairs of the Demo-
cratic National Committee had involved
IN expression of his executive ability
and Of his diplomacy. Probably the
last named quality has been the big

before Mr.. Morgenthau sailed for Eu-

declined the honor because. as he said.
Il was reluctant TO leave New York to
ALLEVIATE myself from its tremendous
growth and delightful associations"
While Mr.. Morgenthau was in Munich
in August the President again COM

Morgen,hau had been considering the
new issue Of diplomatic responsibility
which had come into his life. This
