CERMANS CONPARE YOUNG T HORGAN “Silent Heavyweight” Sharply Gon- trasted in Berlin. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March German eyes, Owen D. as “The Silent Man” of the present | reparations conference, and J. Pierpont | Morgan, its “real heavyweight,” present a marked contrast of personality. | The two men who are playing so im-| portant a role in German economic his- | tory, are the subject of mnsidcrablc‘ study and comment among German ob- servers and newspaper correspondents, who draw vivid comparisons between the tall, pale, almost haggard figure of Young, in his plain blue business suit, and the more robust and “jovial” Mor- gan, wearing in his buttonhole the tiny red bibbon of the French Legion of Honor. “When the 14 experts are seated for the secret sessions at the table in the hall of the Hotel George V, writes the Parls correspondent of Germania, the! official organ of the German centrist the contrast between these two s to every one’s eyes. | he calmest and most silent member | of the conference 1s its president, Owen | D. Young. Any one who did not know him would take him for a technical | assistant, he holds himself at such a | distance from the. discussions. This | American, who ranks among the most | sful business men of his country, ch reserve and such control, not only of affairs but_ of himself, that there is about him almost & suggestion of unreality. His silence is so marked, it might almost seem uncertainty if it were not for the steady, direct look of his eyes. Seems to Like Work. “He appears to work for the love of it, and any distraction is for him only an interruption. His secretary has a| room next to the one he chose for| himself at the Ritz, overlooking the| silent, snow-shrouded garden of the| Palace of Justice, and it is said that he often dictates even during the night. He takes very little part in the activ-| ities of the other experts outside the | meetings. At most, one only sees his tall figure silently moving through the curtains of the blue tea room, his left- hand sunk deep in his pocket, his right holding a cigar or stubby little pipe. “He works tremendously, but he works without haste. He has not a single hasty gesture. Yet he is every- where first. Morning after morning, he is the first of the members of the conference to appear in the hall of the Hotel George V.” In general, the conclusion has been | reached by German writers that only the most detached weighing of their country’s case may be expected of Young—*without any special sympathy, yet without antogonism.” Appraisal of Morgan. Mr. Morgan, on the other hand, ap- pears ‘to them a much more colorful figure. “Morgan is as full of movement as| Young is still and silent,” comments Germania. | Possibly, this paper suggests, the great financier deliberately tries to spread this feeling of “good fellowship” about himself, so that the other ex- perts may forget that while they are at the conference only as representa- tives of their nations and governments, he is there in his own right, as a “Wall Street. king.” Possibly, it asks, “even Morgan feels forced to be a little con- ciliatory when the figures go up so high in the billions?” & Che;t Is Given $1,087.75. ‘Washington employes of the Standard 0il Co. increased the total in the Com- munity Chest yesterday by $1,087.75, sending a check for this amount, repre- senting 311 pledges. The check was sent through the group solicitation unit, of which Frank R. Jelleff is chairman. Standard Oil employes, it was stated, were among the first to volunteer .con- tributions to the chest, but final pay- ment was withheld until every employe could be interviewed, thus insuring a —Seen through Young, pictured | Man” and “Real| THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
