Henry Morgenthau, culturist, farm editor, conserva- tionist, governor of the farm cred- it administration, and now secre- tary of the United States treasury. The blood of generations of til- lers of the soil back in Germany runs through the veins of both. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., often has ascribed to heredity his fa- ther’s interest in land and real es- tate, and his own mingled inter- ‘est in farming and finance. Germany, Morgenthau Born at Mannheim, in 1856, the . elder nine, received his education in New York schools and colleges, practiced law, specialized in real estate legal problems, and grad- vally combined his talents for land and finance by taking part in sev- eral large real estate, financial and construction enterprises.

His philanthropic instincts brought, to the fore, he made a close study of Near East problems and served on many of the war and postwar commissions which had to do with Near East relief and recolonization of Turks, Greeks and Armenians. He also participated in an international in- quiry into treatment of Jews in Poland after the war. Last spring his combined inter- ests in diplomacy. and agriculture made him a valuable member of the American delegation to the world wheat conference. Worked From ‘Ground Up’ Intending to follow in his fa- ther’s footsteps, Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., as a young man worked } with construction erews engaged in various building projects of his father’s to learn the business from “the ground up,” and went to Cornell university to study archi- tecture which he concluded would be useful in planning real estate sub-divisions. But his farming instinct assert- ed itself, and he speedily found that his real interests were in the agricultural college “up the hill” on the Cornell campus.
