...open, the Fishers then sold their great body plant to GM in 1926, receiving some $200,000,000 in GM stock and a voice in the management second only to E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Du Pont owns 23% of GM's common stock and any outward sign of management ructions is always attributed to a clash between the du Ponts and the Fishers-usually with a sly reference to the fact that the Fishers backed Hoover in 1928 and the du Ponts backed Smith.

...lives, however, neither Francois de Wondol nor Charles Prosper Eugene Schneider has ever let drop a word to indicate that he sees any connection between his business and an eventual ruin of his capitalistic industry. Only Sir Basil Zaharoff, doddering brokenly in his wheel chair, seems to give any outward evidence of disillusionment. That may be only because he gambled $20,000,000 of his personal fortune on the only war in which he ever took emotional sides--the Greco-Turkish War in 1921--and lost...
