Sirs: TIME of Aug. 29, in its admirable sketch of William Gibbs McAdoo falls into a natural error when it says: "McAdoo helped nominate Wilson at Baltimore in 1912.

Only Mr. McAdoo himself seems to recall that it was no less a person than the elder Morgan who, at the outbreak of War in 1914, begged his advice on closing the Stock Exchange...
...Victory Loan of 1919 was floated by his Treasury successor, Carter Glass. ?In Crowded Years, his autobiography, Mr. McAdoo suggests that Britain and France swap the U. S. their colonies in the West Indies, Central and South America in lieu of cash payments on their War Debts...
