Whatever the merits of the case may be, it will be unfortunate in the extreme if the entire structure should be jeopardized by the forthcoming investigation since it can be anticipated that many thousands of innocent investors throughout the U. S. will suffer directly or indirectly. At any rate, if nothing more serious than putting $10,000,000 worth of government bonds temporarily on the list of the assets of the defunct Union Trust of Cleveland can be charged against the famous pair, they will have proven themselves financiers of an exceptional order...
...remarkable for the restraint with which Lederer handles it, a restraint upon which the whole structure of the film turns, and which must have been difficult of attainment.

...should that great organization suffer such unholy impingment? Being fairly well informed as to its precepts, I do not hesitate to place them before you as a comparable study. Into the Boy Scout's mind are inculcated the principles of respect to thers (I imagine that this would include the President of the United States) self-sacrifice; honesty; generosity...
