' I think my firm (Kuhn, Loeb ft Co.) is not up as nominee for membership on the Federal Reserve Board; I am. 1 am going to leave that firm; lam going to leave my Hamburg firm, and every single corpora'lon with which I am connected. More than that, I am go ing to leave every educational' and philanthropic association with which I have bein connected.

"When President Wilson asked me whether I would take this thing and put it up to me in a very kind way, and asked It I were willing to make the sacrifice, because he thought that I was the man for It, I felt that I had no right to decline and I will be glad to make the sacrifice, because I think there is a wonderful wortunity foi bringing a great piece of constructive work into successful operation and it appeals to me to do that."
