...even a Delegate to the World Conference, spry, fox-bearded old Henry Morgenthau Sr. one day last week stole the show. Vaguely correspondents have been conscious that he, as "wheat adviser'' to the U. S. Delegation, was hobnobbing busily with Canadians, Argentines, Australians, Russians. Suddenly they noticed him pumping the hand of Argentine Delegate Tomas Le Breton...
...stamp collection (he had been presented that clay with the first of an issue of private stamps issued for the 450th anniversary of Martin Luther's birth) when word was brought to him that Congress had adjourned. Happy, he turned out the light and went to sleep conscious that he had been blessed as few presidents are: he had 1) got Congress to pass most of the laws he wanted, and 2) got rid of Congress-not in time for him to attend Franklin Jr.'s graduation from Groton next day, but at least before Congress got completely...

That self-conscious body is now getting on without his official help. There is an excellent article by A. A. Berle, Jr., member of the "brain-trust," titled, "The High Road for Business," which asks of American business leaders something obviously beyond their power, social responsibility, and this for the purpose of business salvation...
