...acting head of the U. S. Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr., was not trained as a banker. Last week, one of his first official acts was to appoint a brilliant financial technician as his right hand man: Earle Bailie of Manhattan.

Malign our lodgings, (if you can, in the face of such enormous advantages) Never visit them. It is not that. We neither heed calumny, nor need attention.
