% PIERPONT MORGAN REMAINS HYSTERY Money Giant Dodges Gamerss, Declines All Interviews Paris, March 9 —The interallied eonference on reparations, in whh:n-“m““"'e a syndicate of 2200 banks. the political and financial rulers of the world have been trying to figure out just how much money Germany can pay her former enemies without going cverlastingly broke, has had one minor result that wasn't looked for. It has brought J. Pierpont Mor- gan long known as “the most ur democratic man in the world,” out in the open where he can be seen, photographed, interviewed (occa- sionally) and gaped at. He is one of the United States delegates. Mr. Morgan, whose brusque re- serve symbolizes for most of the world the aloofness of great wealth, just as his public record symbolizes the power of great wealth, does not, ordinarily, appear in public. Newspa- | per men in the New York financial district often do not even get a glimpse of him, from one year's end to another. Now, howevere, he is in the middle of the stage. It is a new experience. The privacy with which he - vests his every act is a fundamental part of the man, bred into him from the cradle and not to be dropped easily. story of His Life Morgan was born In Irvington, N. .. on Sept. 7, 1867. The son of a rich man, he was trained from birth for the position he would some day | oceupy—trained bs carefully as a crown prince is trained in a monar- chy. The simile is not altogether un- justified: J. P. Morgan, senior, was a king. in a very real way, and the son, who succeeded him on his death, holds a power that few crown- ed monarchs have held. The young Morgan—Jack Morgan, he was called then—got his prepara- tory school training at Groton, Mass. ——one of the most exilusive boys schools in America. From Groton he went to Harvard. At Harvard he roomed alone and “mixed” very lit- le with fellow students. traduating in 1889, Morgan was married a year later, to Jane Norton Grew, and at once went to work un- Jder his father’s tutelage to learn the hanking business. After a brief ap- prenticeship in New York he went to the Morgan firm's London office. Morgan returned to this country, to work beside his father, about 1800. He came back just in time to ad- ust himself to a great change that had come upon the banking world. Prior to 1900, a conservative Wall ftrect bank—and the house of Mor- gan had always been conservative— confined itself chiefly to railroad fi- nancing. Industrial financing was Joft severely alone. But with the ra- pid rise of American industry this attitude had to pass, and the elder Morgan had a large part in the change. First he organzied the U. 8. Steel Corporation, first of the bil- lion-dollar organizations. Then, a (ew years later, he brought about the organization of the International Mercantile Marine company. An International Banker Tn 1907 came a great financial panic, and Morgan, close to his fa- ther during these trying times, saw another aspect of the financial world. He also saw the beginning of the in- {ernational banking business which eventually was to make the house of Morgan a power throughout the world. First—this was in 1904— ecame a loan of $50,000,000 to Japan. This seemed like an enormous un- dertaking at the time, even though only half of this issue was sold in 11is country. Then came smaller dealings with o*her countries, which helped school the young financier fn this complicated field. Then, in 1913, the elder Morgan died, leaving to the son the direction of all the firm's vast enterpries. Contrary to public belief, the el- der Morgan did not leave a larg: fortunc—not large in comparison with the tremendons extent of his activities, When taxes. deductions and shrinkages had been accounted for. the son found he had inherited | ust $16,000,000 with which to run own estate and the firm itsel Contrast that with the personal for- tune of Rockefeller or Ford. ‘The World War The younger Morgan—"Young J. made in America during the war by France and England. . Everything those governments bought—muni. | tions, food, material—was bought by the house of Morgan. Billions of dol- |lars were apent. No bank in history had ever handled so great a trans- action. y A $500,000,000 Loan Then there were loans—mighty |ones. In the second year of the war | Morgan floated the largest loan ever |issued up to that time; $500,000,000 |to replenish the Anglo-French war .chest. To float this loan he had to By April of 1937 he had arranged British and French loans to the tune |of $1,600,000,000. And then the United States entered the war. This increased the amount of fi- |nancing the Morgan house had to {do. New loans came thick and fast. There were loans to the American | government, loans to the allied gov- ernments; loans that did not stop when the armistice came but went on unchecked. Between 1917 and 19 Morgan & Co. loaned $1,770, 1000,000 to 12 countries. Stabilized the Franc i One of Morgan's chief interests| iafter the war was the rehabilitation of war-broken European govern- ments. By arranging a $100,00,000, loan to the French government in! 11924 Morgan checked the vapid drop | of the franc and helped stabilize it. Morgan consistently maintained that | American prosperity could not ieach its maximum until Europe's pros-| perity had returned; indeed, it was not long ago that he urged a leveling of international tariff walls td help| | make this possible. All of the achievements sketched | | here are matters of common knowl- 1edge. Yet Morgan, as a man, remains | |almost unknown to the Ameriean | | public—for the simple reason that | these facts are about all that the average mun does know about him. The Morgan tradition has always | been one of silence, and Morgan has | |adhered to it faithfully. He almost never gives interviews or speeches. The public has had small chance to | look at his private life. His luxurious private yacht, “Cor- | % much of Europe's coastline, and he {has spent much time abroad. He i a familiar figure on the Riviera, and spends much time in England, where | 'he maintains both a country home iand a London house. Grouse shoot- {ing in Scotland is one of his hob- Ibles, and despite his age he is still | very fond of tennis. | Escaped Assassination | While the public always misunder- Istood Morgan, it Is probably true| |that he always misunderstood the [pum!c, too. This, perhaps, is only lnatural: his two chief contacts with | {1t came on occasions when attempts were made to assassinate him. | | The first was in 1915. when a| Imadman entered Morgan's home at | Glen Cove, Long lsland, and fired & | |revolver point-blank at him. Morgan, a man of strong physique and mark- ed physical courage, was wounded {in the abdomen, but he grappled | with his assailant and held him un-j |til help arrived. Since that day| armed guards have watched the Mor- | gan house every minute. | The second was in 1920, when the startled the country. This explosion, {which took more than 30 lives and | threw Wall street into a panic, was| undoubtedly aimed at Morgan him- | self. An employe In his office was killed, part of the office was wreck- ed, and its stone exterior to this day bears marks left by the bombs. Mor- | gan, on that occasion, was the first !man in the place to recover his| | presence of mind, and the cool and |collected mannmer in which his em ployees met the disaster is said b |eye-witnesses to have beer largely | due to his own coolness and leader- ship. | Morgan's wife died in 1925.
