But when Morgan & Company under
took to float the S5OO,OOO,OO loan for the
Allies last year, Kuhn. Loeb & Co., as
well as several other prominent banking
houses, We're at first ignored. How to
remedy this tactical blunder was prob
lem hard to solve. Mr.. Morgan did not
care to risk being snubbed by Mr.. Schiff,
yet the Anglo-French Commission was
anxious to gain the kuhn-Loeb co6pera-
ton. Baron Reading, Lord Chief Justice
of England and chairman of the Com
mission, held several secret conferences
with MIR. Schitf, and finally James J. Hill
was called in to act as mediator. MIR.
Hill. after discussing the situation with
Mr. Morgan and the Commission, went
to Mr.. Schiif's office and rendered an in
vitation to join the negotiations.
The newspapers reported that MIR.
Morgan thereafter visited Mr.. Schiff and
that MIR. Schif returned the visit next day.
Mr.. Schiff and MIR. Morgan are now good
personal friends, although still financial
rivals Neither, however, has accepted
the leadership of the other, and there is
no record of any visiting since.
Mr. Schiff is not a stickler for etiquette.
He may be seen walking into the City
Bank to chat with Mr.. Nanderlip any day
of the week When he wants to talk any
thing over with other big men he has no
scruples about going to see them, even
though note or telephone message re-
questing a call would be willingly hon
ored. as MIR. Schitf's age as well as his
prestige have won him recognition as a
power second to none in High Finance.
James Stillman. the chairman and largest
stakeholder of the National City Bank.
does not hesitate to pay his respects to
the kuhn-Loeb partners during his an
nual stay in this country Stillman
spends about half of every year in Europe.
The newspapers quite recently reported
feud between Nanderlip and Sabin. Mr.

- erelgnS. 1ne etiquette or High
Finance. indeed, resembles the caste sys-
tenn of India.
The King of England the Emperor of
Germany, or the Car of Russia did not
disdain, in peace times, to pay Il return
visit to any other ruler, no matter how
insignificant.
The more powerful Kings of High FL
nance refuse to pay return visits to tinan-
cial nabobs only little lower in the
money scale.
,Jealousies often arise between two fl
uanciers or bankers, each obsessed with
the idea that he ranks higher than the
other, and is therefore entitled to sit on his
own throne and receive the other in audi
ence Several years may pass without an
exchange of visits between such contend
ers for homage.
There is no written code, of course.
The financial rulers seldom, if ever, dis
cuss the matter among themselves. And
the public are probably wholly ignorant
that any such system of etiquette in High
Finance exists The two basic rules are:
The very great financier will not visit the
office of any ordinary banker or fnancier
under any circumstances, If the big fellow
wants to see the little fellow his secretary
sends a summons by telephone.
When two fnancierS are of about equal
standing the one who wants to see the other
does the visiting.
The original J. p. Morgan was the
greatest autocrat American finance has
ever known, although Edward HI. Harri-
man, in his later years, contracted the
notion that it was his prerogative to sit
on his throne and be kowtowed to by the
greatest men in the land. Morgan got
away with it: Hartman didn't.

Vanderlip does very little visiting; in
fact, except for occasional calls at Nor
gans, he is never seen in other institu-
tions. Those who have relations with the
president of the countrys largest national
bank, founder of the new $4,000, 600
American International Corporation and
the head of gigantic steel and ordnance
combination. do not object to visiting him.
But Sabin is president of the biggest
trust company in the United States and
one of the most aggressive and progressive
men in Wall Street. He was selected by
MIR. Vanderhp as director in the Amer
lean International Corporation, but after
CASTOR, Williams & Wigmore had been
backed by Sabin in building up gigantic
international enterprise, Sabin suddenly
quit the Nanderlip project. 1t was said
that Sabn was not told that the American
International had begun to buy up reams
of United Fruit Company stock, causing
it to rise violently. and that he was very,
very angry. The financial photographers
had Messrs. Vanderlip and Sabin squaring
off for ten-round bout. In the after
noon, unknown to the alert newspaper
men, Sabn appeared at the door of the
Vanderlip private Office The moment
Sabn was ushered in, the two-Shook
hands! Instead of fisticuffs they had a
talk-fest, and enjoyed and laughed over
the quips in the morning newspapers.

Morgan the Second

RUT when Morgan 4 Company were
appointed purchasing and financial
agents for the European Allies and given
sole control of expenditures running into
the billions theamount OF patronage at the
command of Morgan the Second brought
most of the rebels groveling to his feet.
Since then j. P. Morgan has been widely
recognized as the chief ruler of the finan-
cial realm, and few men have hesitated
to respond to a summons from his finan-
cial palace Like his father. Morgan now
does no professional visiting; he only
receives. Such stalwarts as Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National City
Bank A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of
the Chase National Bank; Charles H.
Sabin. president of the Guaranty Trust
Company, may be seen any day entering
the Corner House
Jacob II. Schiff, however. has not ac-
cepted the Morgan rulership. MIR. Schiff
is the veteran head of the international
banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb 4 Co.. which
is now recognized as even more influential
than Morgan 4 Company in the financing
of America railroad systems. For years
there was rivalry between the late j. p.
Morgan and MIR. Schitf. but when the
1907 panic threatened to topple over the
whole financial structure, Jacob II. Schiff
fell into line the day Morgan issued an
his desk. At that critical time Morgan
ruled with rod of iron and none dared
say him nay

mates who did not resent bowing down
to the greatest of all American bankers
baked at jumping at the crack of the
young Morgan whip. For time there
was secret insurgency; the financial COM
munity would not recognize Morgan the
Second rs their ruler.

At Nobody's Beck and Call

SABIN'S rise has been spectacular.
- When he was only vice-president he
visited right and left, but since he was
elevated to the presidential chair he has
been more inclined to sit back and let
Others come to see him. Perhaps only half
a dozen financial overlords would not
care to respond to a summons from him.

We are prone to sympathize with

isitors to China see little evidence
II the need of our sympathy,
The Chinese have a saying, "Thc

'rrior wives as the great tree cher

his sage advice is always followed,
but n often secs the several wives

Tcrs and all working for the conn

An American lady visiting China
recently called upon the wife of m
official and was met at the door by
two ladies. One of thcm Was a very
old Chinese lady, with feet that
could not have been more than two
