Thus, Prime Minister Raymond Poincare, the great War President of France, puts the last cap on a monumental achievement. When he took office 23 months ago, the franc had lost 9/10 of its pre-War value (5 francs to $1).

President Roosevelt said of him: 'The soundest economic thinking in this country is now being done by Otto H. Kahn." He sits on the board of directors of the Equitable Trust; Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
