Indications Strong U. S. Will Uphold
Stand of League.

AHUiCdHOhS StTOnS y. ,. VIII UpnOl0
Stand of League.
BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's call for con-
certed endeavors" in the interest of
world peace paved the way today
for American support of the League
OF Nations in its efforts to halt the
undeclared war between Japan and
China.
A high authority expressed this view
In interpreting the Presidents Wig
orous statement of foreign policy at
Chicago yesterday as a determined
move to mobilize world opinion
against what Mr.. Roosevelt termed
the prevailing reign Of terror and
international lawleSSness"
There were strong indications the
United States Government would up
hold the Leagues stand on the Sino-
Japanese conflict, at least to the ex-
tent that 1t would throw its full moral
support behind League action.
Nine-Power Talk Urged.
The League Advisory Committee at
Geneva approved l. resolution yester-
FAY recommending that signatories Of
the nine-power pact to preserve
China's territorial integrity meet as
soon as possible. The proposal came
before the League Assembly today.
The resolution called Japan guilty
of violating the nine-power treaty,
the Boxer protocol for the protection
OF foreigners in China and the
Briand-Kellogg pact outlawing war.
In this respect it was strikingly
like one section of Mr.. Roosevelt's
pronouncement at Chicago. He said
some military actions were definite
violations" of agreements.
While the Presidents address was

any part of the world. and while be

Total Riches
OF Estate
Mystery

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 81 G.N.S0
The actual extent Of Andrew w.
Melons wealth probably will
never be known. 1t was variously
estimated at from 5000, ZOO, 900 to
1000, 900, 900.
Melons holdings were distrib-
uted over q broader oase than
were those Of John D. Rockefeller
or Henry Ford. When Mellon was
appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury he was a director in SO cor
porations.
A Federal income tax suit dis
closed that his return for 1881
showed a gross income Of $lO.4S2'-
$50. The Government contended
the gross should hav> been $751;
482, $50. If this sum represented
a 6 per cent return on investment
the principal would total 1924, ILL.,
900.
Harvey O'Connor, in his book,
MELONS Millions" estimated the
Mellon family fortune at $4,000
100000. He asserted the MELONS
were associated in corporations
whose assets and resources were
nearly $40, 500, 000, 000."
The former Treasury Secretary
branded O'Connor's book as a
"travesty of truth" and added:
ut attributes to me and other
members of my family fortune
of such fantastic and imaginary
proportions as to be senseless."
Corporations of which he was
a director were engaged in
among others-these businesses
and industries: banking, alumni
mum, oil, coal, coke. steel, loco
motives, water works, railroads,
bridge building, railroad cars, by
product plants, street railways,
light and power, glass, motor
trucks, ship building, radiators,
car wheels, carborundum. fire in
surance, surety bonds, bolts and
rivetS.
After his Treasury appointment
Mellon resigned all directorships
except those in four educational
and charitable institutions.
The Melons. it was disclosed at
the tax hearing in 1881, owned
important blocks of stocks in the
following corporations:
The Washington times., 1937-08-27

His first public contribution
was q $4,000 gift, jointly with II.
C, Prick, to the JohnStown flood
sufferers in 1889.
GENEROUS TO CHILDREN
To his two children Mellon was
prodigal. In the 1881 Federal tax
case here it was disclosed that he
had set up a series Of trusts for
his son, Paul, and his daughter,
Mrs, David K. E. Bruce, approx
mating So million dollars.
For his daughter and her hus.
band, Mellon purchased Oak Hill,
the historic estate Of James Mon
roe, fifth President Of the United
States, at Aldie, Va, IS miles
from Washington. The Georgian
mansion with 1000 acres was &C.
quired at a reported price Of
$70O, 900.
To Paul he gave the Rockeby

Twelve years later he came back
home a world figure-eXtolled as
a financial genius-as the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury since
Hamilton.
He had served longer in that ca
pacity than any other man except
Albert Gallatin. He had trimmed
billions from the national debt.
He had capped II years as head
of the Treasury with a year as
ambassador to England's Court of

post within the gift of the nation.

and that was a day when the

the men they picked were almost
invincible.
KNEW ROMANCE
Then, in 1900, Mellon expert
enced romance. The girl was Is
years his junior-the beautiful
and gay Nora McMullen, grand
daughter of Peter Guinness.
Dublin brewer. They were married
but their life together did not work
out we'll. Mellon filed suit for
divorce in 1910 and a decree was
granted two years later on the
grounds of desertion.
Mellon has two children, Paul
and Ailsa, the latter now is Mrs.
David E. K. Bruce. For many
years, the children lived with their
mother. but recently there has
been a closer relationship between
t h EN- nd their distinguished
father. .
LIVED WITH CHILDREN
Mellon spent his declining years
with the Bruces-he is the son OF
the former Maryland Senator-at
their estate in suburban Southamp-
ton on Long Island, where he died.
There he planned his great gift
to the country-hiS $40, 200 900 art
collection which will be housed in
a S10,00O,000 museum in Wash
ington.
But there was Mellon unaSso-
ciated with millions of dollars and
finance and government. Around
this Andrew Mellon were woven
little stories with the human
touch, such as those about his oc-
casional poker games at his Wash
ington apartment.
One of his secretaries once said
of him:
He is the kind of a poker
player who always has 'em when
you call him and never has 'em
when you don't"
PRESS CLUB STORY
Then there is one about the
time his name was confused with
that of Paul Mallon, the Wash
ington correspondent, when both
were attending a function at the
National Press Club.
Mallon's wife telephoned the
club for her husband, but an
attendant sum m oned Mellon,
then Secretary of the Treasury,
and chief of prohibition enforce
ment, to the phone. Mrs. Mallon
had a list of articles for her
husband to bring home.
Mellon explained that there
had been an error but he would
be glad to take the list and turn
it over to Mallon. He did.
The articles were ingredients
for cocktails.
The Washington times., 1937-08-27

At a time when most men are
ready to retire, the shy, Soft-spoken
banker-industrialiSt gave up the
seclusion of his office on the top
floor of the Mellon National Bank
to become financial agent of the
nation.
Alphabetically, he went to Wash
ington to take over the post of
Secretary of the Treasury.
MODESTY NOTED
Minimizing his own fitness for
the task, he had told President
Warren G. Harding:

He was then Sc. Outside of

Industrial Research, a memorial
to their father.
Unrecorded sums went to the
University of Pittsburgh, hos

The community fund in eight
years received more than ST.
100000 from them.
They gave the site for the
present Cathedral of Learning,
the SkyScraper dominating the
campus of the University Of
Pittsburgh. The land was valued
at 100000.
MILLIONS FOR ART
A. w. Mellon spent approx
mstely $20,000,000 for paintings
and $10,000,000 for the National
Gallery of Art at Washington to
house them. Today, the Mellon
art collection presented by him
to the nation, Is valued at
$780, 100000.
A. w. Mellon was treasurer and
a large contributor to the Presby-
terrain ministerial pension fund,
which raised a 100000 endow-
ment some years ago.

He was called the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury since
Alexander Hamilton" by his ad-
mirers. He once had strong sup
port for the presidency. He COM
manded in his own right as many
millions as a Rockefeller or
Morgan.
HAD VAST FORTUNE
The extent of his personal for
tune never was revealed but he
paid income taxes running into
millions yearly. Before he retired
from business to enter public life,
he was a director in 200 power
full corporations.
He was one of the real rulers
of America but the slight, gray
man who would stand enraptured
for hours before a great work OF
art. seemed an impenetrable mys-
terry to everyday Americans.
Even the date of Melons birth
is not definitely known. His earlier
biographies, approved by him. put
it as March "a, 1852. but later Of
ficial records of his life said it was
March "a, 1855. Officially. ne
died when he was 80, but he may
have been IS.
Melons age never was discussed
by himself or his family. 1t is I'M
important beside the man himself.
BORN TO WEALTH
Born the son of Judge Thomas
Mellon, who founded the Mellon
banking house, and the former
Sarah Jane Negley, member OF a
fine old Pittsburgh family, Mel
Ions star of destiny shone brightly
from the beginning.
After attending public schools
and a preparatory institution, he
entered Western University of
Pennsylvania, now the University
of Pittsburgh. He stayed there
for two years and then pleaded
with his father to let him enter
business. Judge Mellon consented
and a year later he took his son
into partnership.
GREW WITH INDUSTRY
The challenge of the times filled
the young Melons brain. America
was beginning to spring from its
agricultural foundation to indus
trial power. Dreams became
reality. The black smoke of
wealth spouted from the hills of
Pennsylvania.
The Mellon banking house grew
until its influence exercised so

where men were building the new

new industries, of research to
smooth the way Of development.
