Mr. Morgan's philanthropies, per.

fair minded observers. He is widely
celebrated as "a generous giver." But
he prefers to contribute privately and
not al. Of his charities are accorded
publicity The Morgan wing of the
Metropolitan Museum, New York, and
the Morgan Library, also in that city,
testify for him as convincingly as he
would wish. In them the public may

AS overseer of Harvard, trustee Of
the Metropolitan Museum, American

lay delegate to successive triennial
conventions of the Protestant Epis-

His wife was Jane Norton Grew of

Of criticism and attack" and the CAM
paign against him eliminated In the
Pujo committee investigation Of 1912.
Samuel Untermeyer was counsel
| for the committee, and Morgan the
elder was his own star witness. The
magnate denied the existence or the
possibility of money trust" and
denied that he himself possessed or
desired great financial power" Char
acter, h insisted, is the first requisite
of credit" He left the stand with his
head unbowed, his eyes bright with
victory. Yet, few weeks after the
hearing, he died at Rome, March 81,
1918.
The committee decided that IL had
been revealed unquestionably that
there was vast Capitalization Of finan-
cial control" Mr.. Morgan had die
tated the policies of approximately so
large corporations, in which II of his
partners held u directorships. The
list included: First National Bank,

American Telephone g. Telegraph
Co. and Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety. In some instances, the weight
of his hand had been felt directly;
in others it had been less immediate,
but not less compelling.
As for the Morgan side Of the argyll
ment, it was submitted that financial
concentration was necessary and power
is dangerous only when held by evil
hands, doctrine in part Endorsed
only recently by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Home Burial Requested.
Characteristic of Mr.. Morgan, ST., as
a man, was his direction that his body
be brought home for burial. He had
loved his country, refusing honors
which Great Britain gladly would
have conferred upon him for a tacit
oath Of loyalty to the sovereign. Also,
he had proved his patriotism In prac-
tical ways. 1t was said of him that
he was 1.-The chief instrument by which
foreign capital built up the United
States"
Much of his success, admittedly.

But his friends never can understand
such attacks. The only explanation
for them, they say, is that Of COM
mon misunderstanding of the man
himself and of the untold record of
his house ar institution which,
among other services, rescued the
moribund United States Treasury in
1893, stemmed the financial panic of
1907, saved the credit of New York

clusively selfish. funded the allies be-

their foes and neighbors in 1924 and
later years.

do it," So says an authority widely

At the outbreak of the World War
Mr.. Morgan recognized the danger full
ly. He counseled Americans to keep
their heads" and predicted that 1.-THE
wholesale waste of capital involved
in such a catastrophe would result in
distribution of losses the world over"
To meet the emergency he formed a
syndicate of 1900 banks and indi-
viduals. From 1915 to 1918 he was
commercial agent for Great Britain
and Belgium, handling billions of
dollars" for "all purchases of war
supplies" Also, he arranged loans
of $l2,000,000 to Russia, $4,000, 900
to France, $500O00,00O to the allies.
Later he was member of the Inter-
national Commission of Bankers to
pass on loan to Germany, and, under
the Dawes plan, hoated the American
half of German bond issue of $110,-
100000. In 1923 he saved Cuba from
bankruptcy with an advance Of $780,
100000; at about the same time he

tween 1927 and 1881, during which
period profits from security fiotations
reached $l8,284, 900.
When the Senate investigation of
1888 opened, Morgan partners held 167
directorships in 80 corporations with
assets of 100000. The bank
had deposits of S340 DAT, 701 88 on De-
cember 81, l932-just prior to the
crash of March 4, 1888. Inquiry as

New York University, in 1922 had

stands. Indeed, in the contest be-

There is plenty to criticise-ineptitude extrav-

But so far go my observations of it-from center
to surface-the charges of graft and politics are
cruelty false and unfair
In such a vast Administration-the biggest of its

acter of the Administration itself and of the bulk
of its colossal organization.

wanted to- because he hasn't got what it takes
AS straight shooter he's a natural If he tried to

not accuse the mission stiff of insincerity except
that IN those days your correspondent enjoyed
rather extensive acquaintance on the Bowery and
knew that the mission stiff was rank professional
For this reason the stiff was held in contempt by
the sparrows and starlings of the craft. He sang
and prayed and repented at word of command
from the missionary in return for his supper and
refuge from the cold, and the missionary got the
donations from which he paid the rent and the mess
bills.

he did not deserve The police would pick up active
buns and the judges would fine away their honest
revenues in court, but the mission was haowed
ground in the eyes of the law. The church pigeon
is fat and lazy, and hungry people could catch him
easily for eating purposes they dared but although
SparroWS and other honest fowl considered fair
game in many parts of Europe, the church pigeon
apparently enjoys complete immunity
