James H. Perkins
(Editorial in the New York
Herald Tribune.)
The untimely death of James H.
Perkins is a real and serious loss
to the community whether by
that term one refers to his own
intimate circle of friends, collea
gues and townsmen, to the financial
community or to the nation. For
he gave much to each and all of
them.
Mr. Perkins was chairman of
the National City Bank of New
York during the last seven years
of his life and served on the di
rectorates of many of the coun
try’s leading corporations. Yet it
is probably not inaccurate to say
that he will be remembered less
for this fact than for the fact of
his identity in the public mind
with an era. After the speculative
excesses of the ’2os in Wall Street
came the inevitable collapse of the
earl/ ’3os, and with it the equally
inevitable searching of its consci
ence by the financial and business
community. It was a period of
turning to new leaders—of de
manding men who. at a time when
false prosperity had impaired the
vision of many men of finance and
dulled the moral sensibilities of
others, had proved their fundament
al integrity and their ability to
keep their feet on the ground.
The able, quiet, scholarly Jim
Perkins answered these specifica
tions in every way. And though
he was only one of many conser
vative and sound men who were
brought to the fore by the public’s
revulsion against the spirit of the
new era —men like Charles R. Gay
in the case of the New York Stcck
