But that is the kind of confidence, amounting to a fervent faith, that the U.S. has learned to place in Bernie Baruch, multimillionaire stock speculator, brilliant generalissimo of the World War I Industries Board, adviser to five Presidents, and a private citizen who has been a public servant for a quarter of a century...
