"...The trip supposedly was purely for pleasure, as Willkie said to reporters, "I am
not even going to talk politics."1 ' Despite this declaration, on December 11, Sam Pryor,
Willkie's former campaign manager, invited Davis to Hobe Sound to meet with Willkie.
Accompanied by Marshall, Davis went to Florida to persuade Willkie to oppose
President Roosevelt's aid-to-Britain policy....

...Long before he became wartime Food Administrator the ambitious Hoover had
moved in the Morgan orbit. For more than twenty years he had promoted British
mining enterprises in Africa, Australia, and Asia, working in association
with British banks that were attuned with Morgan, Grenfell and Company of
London; Hoover, according to contracts on the record, drew $95,000 a year
salary for his promotional work and $5,000 a year for his engineering advice.
In 1909 Hoover reached the turning point in his career when he met in London
William Boyce Thompson, then a partner of Hayden, Stone and Company, New York
investment bankers. Thompson, a stock-market crony of Thomas W. Lamont of J.
P. Morgan and Company, was also primarily interested in mining promotions. He
brought Hoover into a number of Hayden, Stone and Company enterprises......

...Morrow and Lamont were Hoover's two principal advisers, and shaped the
policies of his administration. The essence of Hoover's policy after the
stock market tumbled and economic famine stalked the land was to "let the
depression take its course." This was also, by a curious coincidence, the
policy of J. P. Morgan and Company and its newspapers, for the Morgan banks,
alone of the nation's banking institutions, were almost one hundred per cent
liquid, 1. e., had all their resources in cash or government securities.
Every downswing in commodity prices, real-estate values, and securities
quotations, enhanced the value of the liquid funds at the disposal of J. P.
Morgan and Company, which grew more powerful every day that the nation as a
whole became poorer. It was unquestionably the Morgan objective to begin
investing at cheap price levels, but the situation passed completely out of
Hoover's control in 1932.

In the meantime Morrow and Lamont shuttled in and out of the White House with
the regularity of confirmed tipplers visiting their favorite tavern. When
Lamont was not in Washington the telephone wire between the White House and
23 Wall Street was in almost constant use.* President Franklin D. Roosevelt
was later to refer critically to this arrangement.[*The author was present at
a press conference in the offices of J. P. Morgan and Company the day after
England suspended the gold standard in September, 1931. Thomas W. Lamont had
carefully explained why he thought England's action meant further deflation
in the United States. Toward the end of his interview he was interrupted by a
page, who slipped a note into his hand. Lamont left the room. Upon returning
twenty minutes later, the ghost of a smile flitting over his face, he said
drily, "I've just been talking over the telephone with President Hoover. He
believes England's action will give prices an upward fillip over here."]

Morrow was appointed to the Senate in 1930 by the Governor of New Jersey, to
replace Walter E. Edge, who resigned to escape a deserved drubbing at the
polls. Morrow was subsequently re-elected by the efficient New Jersey
Republican machine of J. P. Morgan and Company, which already had Hamilton
Fish Kean, investment banker worth nearly $50,000,000, in the other Senate
seat from the state; Kean succeeded his brother, James Hamilton Kean, in the
hereditary office.

Morrow, as United States Senator from New Jersey, upheld the best traditions
of the Keans and of J. P. Morgan and Company. His conciliatory manners (he
would agree to anything verbally) won him the reputation of being a liberal.
He voted against the Norris Bill providing for public operation of Muscle
Shoals, and on every other measure dealing with the power question he
invariably favored the public-utility trust; he sought to block confirmation
of three Federal Power Commissioners who had replaced Commissioners friendly
to the power trust; he voted to confirm the appointment of a reactionary to
the Tariff Commission; he voted against all Federal relief bills for the
unemployed; he voted against the veterans' bonus; he voted for all big naval
appropriations; and he voted in favor of appropriating War Department funds
to foster military training in the schools and colleges. Morrow, in fine, was
a typical Morgan partner.

Morrow and Lamont, it is known in Wall Street, put the fearful Hoover up to
declaring the moratorium on war debts; Lamont also conferred with Hoover just
before Hoover announced the extension of time limits on New York bank credits
to Germany. As economic conditions grew steadily worse Hoover resisted all
pressure that he do something; instead, he adopted the Mellon method of
issuing false statements to the effect that conditions were improving.

There was more than a breakdown of the capitalistic economy in the Hoover
regime; there was a breakdown of common sense. Hoover inherited a situation
that not only went back to the war, but to the days of Mark Hanna. The
nation's industry was now largely trustified; monopoly ruled through the big
commercial and private banks. ...

THE LIVES THEY LIVED: ANNE MORROW LINDBERGH, B. 1906; The Heroine

.....Then, in an anguished attempt to reconcile her husband's politics with her Smith College humanism, she made a terrible mistake: ''The Wave of the Future.'' In less than 100 pages of murky and illogical prose she tells the world that we must let Fascism take its course and learn to live with it, if necessary. In other words, do what she did. Submit.

The book's negative reception pained and humiliated her. She was considered as bad as her husband -- anti-Semitic, egomaniacal, a tool of the Nazis. What made the situation so much worse was that she didn't believe what she had written. She had done it all for Charles. Well, she never would again. ......
