...looks like a man of money. You would think him a financier, and not inaccurately. But he is also a power in the social and not wealth-despising Protestant Episcopal Church. His name is Monell Sayre. His eminence in the church began when it became apparent that Episcopalian ministers should be pensioned and famed Bishop William Lawrence of Massachusetts, stepping in where others had failed, raised $9,000,000. Bishop Lawrence's aide in that effort, then secretary, now executive vice president of the Pension Fund of the Protestant Episcopal Church, was and is substantial, trim-trotting Monell Sayre...

The Goodyear men incorporated Goodyear-Zeppelin Corp. The Zeppelin Works got a minority block of its stock. Dr. Eckener became a director/ Most important for the U. S. company was the transfer...
Because Germany's great aircraft builder Dr. Claude Dornier frankly told the right U. S. industrial leaders last spring that he needed money to expand his manufacturing plants at Friedrichshafen, General Motors' President Alfred Pritchard Sloan last month went over to Friedrichshafen with a staff of engineers. They looked over the Dornier plant, machines and blue prints. They saw the 12-motored Do-X, which last fortnight carried 169 passengers over Lake Constance. Result was that Mr. Sloan bought for General Motors the licenses to manufacture Dornier planes in the U. S. General Motors lawyers immediately busied themselves...
