...Hans Luther, mild successor to brusque Dr. Hjalmar Schacht as President of the Reichsbank). In the first place Germany does not want a Frenchman managing the B. I. S.; in the second place German financiers particularly mistrust a "young man," have often muttered objections against the youth of Seymour Parker Gilbert, 37, protégé of Owen D. Young as agent general of reparations...
...place, Mr. McGarrah cleared his throat and, with a trace of Scotch burr, sonorously announced as the first item of business that his alternate and technical advisor will be Mr. Leon Fraser, the "continuing expert" who was chief U. S. legal advisor to young Agent General Seymour Parker Gilbert. Aside from the routine of getting settled at Basle last week, the B. I. S. did no business-though an optimistic Swiss walked in, laid down a pre-War German banknote for 1,000,000 marks (worthless today) and asked for change, was courteously ushered...

Backed by evidence of Judge Parker's hostile attitude towards trade unions and negro voting, the opponents of the North Carolina jurist claim that he will augment that element of the Court which interprets the law literally, rather than siding with that trio of dissenters, Holmes and Stone and Brandeis...
...essential to appoint to it men of high quality and broad outlook. For example, the men who may one day sit in judgment on the Volstead Act ought to have in view impending disruption and obvious corruption as well as intricacies in wording of the law itself. And Judge Parker, from all that can be discovered, seems neither broadminded nor first-rate, and although certainly it is unfair for partisan purposes to criticize appointments to this tribunal certainly also, when men of large calibre are available, a second-rate Circuit Judge should not be promoted because North Carolina went Republican...
