Also in on several of these secret tête-a-têtes was poker-faced Emile Moreau, governor of the Bank of France. Surprising credence was achieved by a wild rumor that Mr. Young contemplated the resignation of his friend and protege, Seymour Parker Gilbert, as Agent-General of Reparations and had in mind as his successor M.
