...Wall Street liked Mr. Meyer, the insurgent farm members of Congress did not. When his confirmation comes before the Senate, it was predicted that all the old hue and cry about turning the Federal Reserve Board over to Wall Street would be raised against him. This complaint, plus the fact that he is a Jew of French extraction, has in the past seriously retarded able Mr. Meyer's political progress...

Several of the figures, with countenances of maniacs and ghouls, are pulling forth the intestines and mouthing them...
