mately a fifth of the total wealth
Of the country.
Those are the incredible fig
ures, with their startling infer
ences, which is really driving this
investigation ahead. These are
the figures which defeated Sen
ator GLASS; effort to hobble
Pecora. They are the figures
which have inspired President
Roosevelt to come out publicly
with defense Of the committee
and the statement that he stands
behind it.
For in the opinion of a ma
jority of the Senate committee,
the figures are true, they repre-
sent a situation which is not
held to be tolerable in the pres
ent day. They indicate that a
financial dynasty has grown up
under the name of Morgan which
wields too much power to be en-
trusted to any banking concern
which is not amenable to the
laws and restrictions and eXami-
nations that commercial banks
must submit to.
Danger Seen for Future
Here is the way a member Of
the committee put the case today
to this writer:
'Let us assume that the late
J. PierpOnt Morgan was q man
The Washington times., 1933-06-02

He is all set to establish that
the House of Morgan has become
such a financial dynasty as the
world never knew before; that
its influence or power or both
was and is far greater than any
body not on the inside has i'm
agined.
And he has the figures to sup
port his inferences.
They are here presented for the
first time, fresh from the books
Of j. P. Morgan g. Co., and unon
them Pecora will base his fresh
assault upon the financial dynasty
which he is endeavoring to show
is a menace to the stockholders
of a thousand different corpora
tions and consequently to the
people as a whole.
Hold SO DirectOrships
These figures go to show on
their face that there are 20 part
ners of the house Of Morgan who,
with the four members Of Drexel
& Co., of Philadelphia, who are
not partners of the house of Nor
gan, hold relationships in 80 great
corporations, covering almost every
field of profitable American en-
terprise.
Morgan and his partners are
directors in one or another of IS
banks and trust companies, with
resources of 1881, All, 900; in

Every well. 1t is the history
Of every dynasty, political,

the ability, good sense and
even the integrity. 1t Is too
much to expect from nature
that every Morgan who comes
to head the dynasty and the
house can measure up to the
stature of the two ]. P.'s.

United States will insist upon
keeping discussion of foreign
debts out of the World Economic
Conference, Secretary of State
Cordell Hull emphasized today
as members Of the American dele
cation and experts accompanying

plans to conform strictly to the

The impression had become set
tied that the great bankers OF
New York, after weighty cogita-
ton in those terrible days in late
1929, decided to throw in their re-
sources to stabilize the market for
the general good of business and
everybody concerned.
But this Pecora-the pestiferous
Pecora-seems to have another
notion, and has loaded another
bomb to toss on the threshold OF
the House Of Morgan.
1t is, perhaps, melancholy to
perceive such suspicion in the
mind Of Mr.. Pecora, such sus-
picion of selfishnesS on the part
of great bankers, but there 1t is,
and it will surely come out.
Get Chance to Explain
And Mr.. Morgan and his part
ners will have every opportunity
to refute this suspicion when
they are called to the stand to-
day or Monday or next Tuesday.
But after all, sensational as
this aspect of the inquisition may
be or may not be-whether 1t
turns out to be a first class ex-
plosion of INT. or merely a dud

Gen. John A. Sutter on whose property gold

after life, he said:
"On my way to the Capitol, attracted by a

One year to the day following the laying Of

came here from Baltimore about 1924 where he
had been conducting the Indian Queen Hotel,
later known as Barnum's. He bought the
Franklin House at the northeast corner OF

it from the estate of his son-in-law, William

On Washington's birthday of the same year
he opened for the first time with parade and
a ball the National Hotel at Sixth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. 1t was in the Franklin
Hotel that Lafayette was entertained in 1924
and that the celebrated French patriot offered
the toast: The City Of Washington, the CEN

the whole world" In 1916 the city directory
gives Mrs. Gadsby as widow" and her address
as the Decatur house, Jackson place and H

bought some years before.

the Washington House, with Mrs. A. F. Bever-
idge as proprietor and here Vice President
Hannibal Hamlin-who was elected with Lin
coin the first time-and Henry Wilson, running
mate with Gen. Grant, the second time, at one
time resided. Vice President Wilson died in the

to reinstate 100000 Idle men and
women in gainful employment. If
there was no unemployment in the
country and reasonable price levels

yet these business and industrial
leaders are prone to find loopholes
wherein they may refrain from alb
sorbing these unemployed back into

of NRA is not to get these unem-

Why don't you advocate federal
