...Morrow-Lindbergh engagement was incredible not only to dream-sick young girls. Mr. Morrow's good friend and Englewood, N. J., neighbor, potent Board Chairman Seward Prosser of the Bankers' Trust Co., could not believe his ears when he heard the announcement by radio. ¶ In Mexico City, Miss Anne Spencer Morrow, 22, five-feet-five, brunette, blue-eyed, literary, bashfully quiet, shrank from the glare of being her country's Hero's fiancee. Her father let the world guess, without assistance, at the time and place of the wedding. Industrious press ferrets brought up Miss...
Perhaps inspired by the investment trust activities of their potent fellow citizen, Arthur Cutten of the Board of Trade, a group of Chicago capitalists organized, and last week announced, Chicago Corp., a $60,000,000 midwest investment trust. The directorate of the new corporation is of the top stratum of Chicago's financial world. Packers are represented by Edward F. Swift, vice president of Swift & Co., and F. Edson White, president of Armour & Co. Merchants include George B. Everitt, president of Montgomery Ward and James Simpson, president of Marshall Field. The present Marshall Field conducts the investment house, Field...
Into Congress last week overflowed the financial argument between Federal Reserve Board and Wall Street (TIME, Feb. 18). A mingled outburst of oratory, ethics, provincialism and a little economics was the result. The prevailing sentiment was strongly against the speculator.

Senate. The Senate passed a resolution asking the Federal Reserve Board to lay before it such information as might be "helpful" in securing anti-speculative legislation. It was a mildly-worded resolution, perhaps because it was edited by Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, one of the authors of the Federal Reserve Act (1913). Not mild, however, was the accompanying speech by ponderous Senator Heflin of Alabama. Wall Street, he bellowed, was the hotbed and breeding place of the worst form of gambling that ever cursed the country. The Louisiana State Lottery slew its hundreds but the New York State gambling...
...speculation more calmly, though Pennsylvania's Louis T. McFadden, chairman of the Banking & Currency Committee, announced that at the next session of Congress his committee proposed to go into Federal Reserve discounts, brokers' loans, investment trusts and mergers. Representative Loring Black, a smart sensationalist, attacked the Reserve Board for alleged connivance with Great Britain. He argued that if England needed gold it ought not induce the Federal Reserve to interfere with U. S. prosperity by hampering Wall Street but should sell to the U. S. some of its island possessions off the Atlantic Coast, which possessions are naval...
