AT GRIPS WITH THE TITANS
But a few days will elapse before there will be a
showdown between the Government of the United States
and what Theodore Roosevelt termed the “malefactors of
great wealth” and a determination whether or not some
men have risen above the government. ,T
The probe has started into the House of Morgan,
that colossus of international banking institutions,
against which the charge is laid that it mulcted the peo
ple of the United States out of billions of dollar by un
loading worthless securities upon them, especially Uui
0peaThatUMorgiii believes himself above lawana the
government was indicated when he refused to *>upp y
information regarding his stock exchange dealings a
asked for by a Senate committee.
Sufficient of spirit and intent has been displayed by
Franklin D. Roosevelt to indicate that his “new deal is
no respecter of persons. Yet there are those who evi
dently have been tardy in realization of this fact.
To date not one deviation has occurred in the .Pres
ident’s program for reconstruction, and. one of the most
notable elements in connection therewith has been the
almost total absence of difference of opinion by Congress
and the public who must naturally feel the effects of his
retrenchment and economy measures.
Thus one of the final chapters to be written into his
record wih be a determining of this question of what
power and privilege accrues to men of colossal wealth
and financial power. . ,, , ,
Gauged bv the temper of the people and the almost
religious confidence they repose in their leader this is
a dangerous time for the big plunderers of the nation to
show their fangs. ^ . 0
As suggested by Chairman Fletcher of the benate
Committee, if there is any question as to its authority,
such as has hitherto been raised when effort was made to
probe such matters, Congress will vote it.
